Qunar announced no quarantine with a 48-hour negative covid test.
According to some sources, officials are eyeing "0+3" policy for next month, of no hotel quarantine and three-day monitoring for overseas arrivals. Currently international arrivals isolate for as many as eight days:
For those desperately seeking meds and those with a surplus willing to donate, Tencent (parent company of Weixin) announced yesterday a mini-program that matches med seekers with over-stocked givers based on their proximity.
For safety reasons, parties would authenticate their personal information. Click on specific meds in need (or willing to donate). Rendezvous for the drug exchange.
This may come useful for empty-handed families suffering severe symptoms as run on pharmacies have rendered shelves empty.
When keeping warm during fever/chill, make sure to cover body with light and breathable material as to allow dissipation of natural body heat. Taking consideration not to overheat either.
Fever is still clocking in >38℃. Saving the fever med until the old school armpit thermometer hits above 38.5, granted it is advisable 0.3 - 0.6℃ should be added to these types of armpit thermometers.
Maybe the crowded weekend buffet wasn't such a great idea after all.
Suffered a 40 ℃ fever throughout last night into late morning. Shivering cold with cold sweat despite burning up. Accompanied by migrane, full body ache, breathing difficulties and fatigue.
Luckily we had fever reduction meds stored. Many people aren't so fortunate as most pharmacies are cleaned out and restocking have been slow. Friends may be useful in times like these.
Symptoms may creep up from nowhere, so have meds readily available for easy access when bodily functions are suddenly compromised in the wee hours.
No results found.
For a limited time until June 26, 2022, the 66th top floor observatory will be open to public for free. Visiting hours: 14:00 - 21:00, weekends and holidays. One of the best breathtaking views of the cityscape. Great for family. Below the skyscraper is intersection of MRT Line 3 (pink) with Line 2/1.
For those following the tragic saga of the baby calf elephant (born at Kunming Zoo), who was forcibly separated from its mother to perform as solo act elsewhere for profit, there's finally some good news. After months of social media uproar and complaints over the cruel treatments of the calf in tears during training in leaked vids, the calf is soon returning back to our local zoo. The visibly depressed mother and calf will soon be reunited after a brief quarantine period. One extra star for the zoo for adhering to the voices of the public. A step in the right direction. More compassion for our animal friends in captivity.

Hiking in Lijiang: Dry River Valley
Posted byInformative piece, Pieter!
Look. Who is that sitting in the shade under a lone milk tree in Milk Lake?
It's "dog for a day"... your furry protector companion!
Limestone is often the oasis mirage of snow on Jade Dragon.
Quite a few hikers would get lost in mountains of Yunnan over the years. Notable search & rescues hit recent news which didn't end well. Understandable park officials would frown at those who stray off beaten path.
Urban re-greening effort to include 37 new Kunming parks
Posted byBelow are pictures and updates on the upcoming renovation of Green Lake (North Gate area) where the original Jingzheng Academy once stood. Currently a massive empty lot devoid of life walled off from pedestrians.
For those wondering about the fate of those lush greens that once grew there (45 trees such as ginkgo biloba, sweet-scented osmanthus, and pseudo-particulate magnolia):
"According to the seedling transplant plan and the new landscape design plan reviewed and approved by experts, 30 seedlings (20 ginkgo and 10 osmanthus) are tentatively scheduled to be moved back to the original site of Cuihu, and the seedlings will first be transplanted to the Daxing seedling plant in Yiliang County, Kunming City for management., after the terrain of the Cuihu project is completed, it will be transported and transplanted at the corresponding location of the site according to the project landscape plan.
The 15 seedlings (4 ginkgo, 1 sweet-scented osmanthus, 3 fishtail sunflowers, and 5 pseudo-singular magnolias) that are not used in the landscape design plan will be permanently transplanted to the greening area of Wuhua District. Sirloin Nursery."
