Forums > Living in Kunming > Changing CNY to $$$ Bridge. I am sure you have been to this area before. It is about a 40 minute walk from where you are. At Ren Min Middle Road turn onto Dong Feng Road and reach the end to nanping Jie - There is a big plaza and you can not miss the big Bank of China.
These women earn a small profit from changing money and they do not want to ruin their business by passing counterfit notes. I tried changing money in the bank once and took nearly an hour. The women outside the bank will change money is less than 5 minutes. They only speak one phare in English - Change Money.
Ignore the comment made by Alien - this is NOT where you change money. Let me summarize what Alien previously wrote -I don't know the differences but my impression is that exchange rates don't vary much, so anyplace is okay, at least if you want US$.

Bus 82, 84 - Nanping Jie. Read the thread I provided with more specific directions. I have never been cheated by these women and their rates are much better than inside the bank. I have exchanged, RMB, Laos Kip, Vietnam Dong, Euros, and Dollars.

Forums > Living in Kunming > Salt - Old Towns in Yunnan Bao Feng is very nice and it is also the hometown of Dong Ze - the founder of Yunnan University. Lots of history for those who have interest. 3 small children gave a us a tour of the old town and then the father of one of the girls gave us a ride to a nearby covered bridge - Great experience!

Yunnan reopens 13 international border crossings

Very confusing article!!!
Where does one get the visa? At the Consulate or are they arrival visas issues at the border?
Getting Away: Shuanglang
Posted byA toll gate is still under construction that is just 100 meters from the main road into town. I took a picture of the last house standing in the path of the toll road and the owners are still hanging on although half their home has already been demolished. There are new hotels everywhere so there is no need to make reservations. Prices vary from 100 Yuan to as crazy as 780 per night on the shore near the port to Nan Zhao Island. Shuang Lang is already NOT what it used to be and the people are changing quickly. I saw at least 10 bike and scooter rental shops along the 3 km main road.
