Forums > Travel Yunnan > Long train ride Of course I care. I am concerned when a mother of 2 children who has been in China for some time needs advice on what food to give her children. As I mentioned earlier, it is crucial that a mother receive as much information and training as possible. I am glad to see that you are getting good advice from other forum members for your 2 day train trip.
I did not reply earlier because I was busy. Today and tomorrow is Gao Kao testing and my wife has kids taking GK tests today.
Forums > Travel Yunnan > Long train ride Yes, the nutrition of children age 1 - 7 is very important during the formative years so it is crucial that a mother receive as much information and training from mostly older men concerning this topic. Glad to see that you are vigilent and replied to my post within 3 minutes.

You can go by bus from Kunming and stop at Wuding, Chuxiong (Lion Mountain) this is a good place to see for a few hours and then get back on the bus and go to Tulin. Wuding (Lion Mountain) is the halfway point and it is 94 km (2 hours) northwest of Kunming. The Soil Forest (Tu Lin) includes two separate areas. Wu Mao is where most tourists visit and it is located 40 km north of Yuan Mou. You can rent a minivan to Wu Mao for 60-100 Yuan. Xin Hua is located 60 km west of Yuan Mou and you can rent a minivan for 100-200 YUAN.
Or you can take a bus from Kunming to Chuxiong and then from Chuxiong to Heijing, Chuxiong - www.gokunming.com/[...]
From Heijing you can take the train to Yuan Mou on the following day (1000-1100).
Or you can take the slow train from Kunming to Heijing and then onto Yuan Mou. From Kunming to Heijing is 5 hours by train. It is slow but it is a nice ride (may be crowded because of the holiday).
You have a couple of options depending on your schedule. Bus from Kunming to Yuan Mou is the fastest way to get there. All highway - about 3 hours. NW Bus Station - Puji Road.

New high-speed rail line to link Kunming with Dali
Posted byLife in Yunnan just keeps getting better. A 2 hour train ride to Dali is a lot better then taking the 4-5 hour bus ride. Not to mention the delays when there is a traffic accident.
Earth's budget deficit at 160%, hope stems from trees
Posted byEveryone needs to contribute - Now it begins - Yes, we must contribute but when the population does not make their deadline (Dec 31), we must pay - another tax coming just around the corner.
Just like life insurance in the good old USA, you will pay for it whether you want it or not. If you don't pay, they just steal it out of your bank account.
Agenda 21 - controlled by the UN (1 World Govt) will be in charge.
The Global Warming Lie has now conveniently morphed into Climate Change since the weather did not cooperate with the CO2 lies.
Funny how there is no mention of the real problems in the world. The EPA raises the safety limits on poisons every year so that the multinational companies can continue to pollute and make a profit. In the meantime, we get to eat, drink and breathe more pollutants.
Snapshot: Dali and Weishan
Posted byThere are several noodle shops that are still run by very old people. I saw a beautiful OLD noodle machine (at least 50-70 years old) in one shop and I would love to buy it (Keep an eye on the obituaries). It just needs to be cleaned up because it has decades of flour stuck on it and it will make a wonderful addition to a home museum.
Weishan has not been commercialized yet. Any smart foreigner with some business savy can buy up a lot of antiques very cheaply and make a great cafe/museum/information center/guesthouse like the one in Xishuangbanna; he has his fingers in every pot.
Lots to see in the surrounding area - great place to retire, still make an income, and be the #1 laowai of the town.
Heijing offers the same.
