Forums > Living in Kunming > Heavy Metal Toxin Testing

I recently found 2 places that conduct heavy metal toxin testing here in Kunming. They only do urine and hair folicle testing and do NOT do Blood tests. I visited both sites and they seem professional enough to provide anyone with a printed report within a few days. The only tests they conduct are for Arsenic, Cadmium, Fluoride, Lead and Mercury. Each test costs 60 RMB. You may choose as many tests as you like. I tested for all 5 metals for 300 RMB.

I inquired about testing for Barium and Aluminium as they are the main ingredients in Chemtrails but they do NOT test for either of these 2 metals.

The 2 locations where you can be tested are:

1 - Yunnan CDC - 158 Dong Si Jie - Bus 148 - However, they only test 3 metals at this location - Arsenic, Fluoride and Mercury, they gave me different information when I called and visited and were not friendly or very helpful.

2 - Yunnan Province Metallurgy Hospital - Yunnan Sheng Ye Jin Yi Yuan - Guang Ming Road - Mu Dong Village - Bus 132 - Right behind Tan Hua Temple. This is the location I chose so that I may test for all 5 metals. The staff here were more helpful and willing to serve then at the Yunnan CDC.

deposit of 99 yuan.. deposit is automatically returned upon each completed payment.

All the 99 yuan deposits can NOT make up for what I saw today during my 40 minute bus ride.

3 bikes which had the seat completely removed and 1 bike that had the from wheel removed.

Cost of repairs and cost of sending workers to do the repairs - Haha!

What did I see today?

Saw 2 OFO workers wearing yellow vests with letters OFO on the back repairing over a dozen bikes in a street corner near my house.

Saw 2 OFO bikes chained near the rear entrance of Wicker basket. Apparantly they are now OWNED by 2 workers there.

I predict that OFO will be out of business in 3 months. Once a person gets the combination to a bike, it becomes private property and the company can no longer get any revenue from that bike.

Kids are smart and have time and they knnow that people seldom turn the dial of the combination or they just turn the 2 center dials. Within a few minutes of fiddling with a lock anyone can usually get the combination at which time the bike becomes private property. This is why most of the bikes I see kids riding are the yellow OFO bikes.

With no GPS there is no way to track these bikes - Hehe!

I wonder how many people who have commented here have actually used this program here in Kunming.

Bikes used in other provinces or in other countries is NOT the same as here in Kunming.

Since the bikes are scattered everywhere and people are hiding the bikes so they can have sole use of it - how can any person find a bike to use. Unless one is willing to walk long distances and has already paid to be able to use all 3 types of bikes - this program is absolutely useless.

I caught a slumdog hiding a bike in my garden 2 days ago. I see plenty of bikes all over the city so there are plenty to choose from but hundreds of the bikes are intentioanlly hidden after use so they can be used at the doorstep the following day.

In my Resd Qtr I saw 3 bikes totally destroyed - 1 had a flat, other had rear wheel missing and other had handle bars bent. How does anyone bend handle bars unless it is done intentionally. This is just 2 months after the program has begun.

The bikes need to be put in a bike rack where they are easily accessible to all as is in many other civilized cities here in China like Gansu and Guangxi. I am sure there are others.

The new Visa office is located at 118 Tuo Dong Road. There is no number on the building yet so do not bother to look for it. There are 2 passport photo shops on either side of the building. The office is located directly in front of the Kunming Museum. The bus stop is named - Shi Bo Wu Guan - Bus 1, 62, 109, 117, 145, 213, A1 and K3 stop directly in front of the office. Foreigners need to go to the 3rd floor. The Tuo Dong Stadium is located to the right of the office while Baita Road is located to the left of the office.
