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.

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.

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.
