:) All the way from Guangdong but missed the most crucial statements.

1 - but can't really find much...

2 - Any info will be greatly appreciated.
3 - what's worth visiting and what is not

I can't wait for the Thumbs up/down counter to be installed so everyone can see who is bored and has nothing else to do.

This is a perfect example of the thumbs feature - positive contributions to the OPs question receives thumbs down while a meaningless comments that do not contribute to the OPs question receives thumbs up - The feature does not take into consideration the low level maturity of the users.

Like the anonymous person who went 4 years into the past to give thumbs down to a poster - very mature!

Yes, I realize the edit button only works until the next person makes a comment.

However, I am pointing out to you that it does not work all the time - As you can clearly see in this thread, I posted 2 consecutive comments because the Edit button was not working. In other words, I should not have to make a new comment if the edit button was working.

Mike, I have been slowly but surely going to all the historic towns and villages on the Cha Ma Gu Dao.

I also got some good videos about the Tea Horse Road but they are in Chinese. I got them from the CCTV website.

I have NOT found a complete list as of yet but I am slowly compiling a list of my own.

As for the historic bridges, they are also located on or near the historic towns listed above.

This website lists all the historical places in Yunnan. There are a few bridges here as well.

The video is very informative but does NOT specifically tell you where these locations are located. The entrance ticket to SHI LIN (Stone Forest) is 175 Yuan. I prefer to buy an annual ticket for 200 Yuan and I can use it at any time during the year. Bring your passport and you can purchase an annual ticket which includes entrance to the MAJOR stone Forest, MINOR stone Forest, BU SHAO SHAN, LI ZI YUAN QING, WAN NIAN LING ZHI, and NAIGU stone Forest (Black Stone Forest).

Most of the footage on the video is of the Black Stone Forest. Few people know about it so each time I go, there are very few visitors, less than 5 people. This location has been completely renovated but it lacks many basics. However, There is NOWHERE to purchase any food or water anywhere in the entire park.

Another location seen in the Video is DA DIE SHUI Waterfall. This USED TO BE included in the price of the entrance ticket more than 1 year ago but it no longer is considered part of the Stone Forest. Presently, the waterfall scenic area is under renovation. The Waterfall is located more then 30 km away from the main park. 2 years ago, you can purchase tickets for the waterfall ONLY for 18 Yuan but I have no idea what the price will be after the renovation is complete.

Good luck

I ASSUME that the writers and staff of GOKUNMING write these articles in an effort to inform the reader of an event or location of some significance in and around Kunming.

I find many of these articles lacking in vital information. In an attempt to be CREATIVE, the writers fail in being INFORMATIVE.

For example, the writers mentions Jiexiao Xiang many, many times but fails to tell the reader where this place is. Is it somewhere in Yunnan? Is it in Kunming? There are 5 districts in Kunming - is it in Pan long District? Or is it in one of the other 4 districts? Is there a major crossroad where this small alley can be found. Perhaps near Beijing Road or Guangfu Road.

I enjoy travelling and seeing new places and I research many of the places I visit. But I really would like to read an article here and NOT be left with MORE questions than when I started.

I ask the staff of GOKunming to please be more specific when writing about places to visit and give SPECIFIC directions such as name of town or village and county and prefecture when writing. Thank you.

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.
