One clarification is the the "PSB" you mention is not the main one on Beijing road, but rather the entry exit bureau nearby on Tuodong Lu.
Where did I mention that the PSB was in Beijing Road?
Thanks a lot. I will pass this on. There are many agencies that provide this service but I was looking for one that someone had recently used and received satisfactory service. Thanks again.
This is exactly why I am asking for information from someone who has recently used an agency and can confirm that they are legit.
Has anyone else got a 10 yr visa within the last 6 months who can give me the name, address or website of the agency used and can confirm they are legit.
In the situation I described above about the 8 guys beating up another guy. If I had grabbed a smaller guy, rather than the biggest guy there, I would have surely started a gang fight and they would have turned on me. When I grabbed the big guy, I simultaneously yelled Enough! in English which they could not understand. But they could see in my eyes that I was ready to throw down with the lot of them and they did absolutely nothing. I pity the fool - Mr. T.
who says kids saying laowai is a verbal attack? me or you?
Are you aware of what you wrote before you hit the Post button?
I think most foreigners fail to understand the meaning of this situation. One kid will make the others aware that there is a foreigner present by saying laowai. There is no malice in this. It is like any one of us saying, look at the that cat over there or see that person in a wheelchair or look at the very tall person or very short person or look at the sexy girl.
Another situation that is not understood by foreigners is the Hello issue. Most chinese are lacking in self confidence they are always talking with that nervous laugh when they encounter strangers. When they say Hello and seem to be laughing they are NOT mocking you, they are just awkwardly trying to be friendly by saying hello.

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.
Yunnan's largest hydroelectric dam goes online
Posted byDoes anyone have specific directions on how to visit this dam? Where exactly is it? I see a lookout point in the picture so I assume visitors can come.
Deputy mayor answers 12345 hotline
Posted byI am glad to see more people get involved in their community and use this hotline. I was surprised to read that they receive 2000 calls each day.
I prefer to use the internet site - where I can receive a reply.

Video: Unseen Stone Forest
Posted byThe 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.

Kunming's Red alley: Jiexiao Xiang
Posted byI 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.
