Getting out there is a bit tricky. They run shuttles every day from out on Renmin Xi Lu, but I forget the exact name of the place they run from. If you can speak Chinese or get a friend to help you, you can call and find out. A minivan ride out there and back should be around 200-300 yuan.
Two store fronts north (toward Yunda) of Paul's Shop on the same side of the street.
We'll try get it added to the GoKunming listings sometime next week.

The top listing supposedly has a kennel and the bottom one is a vet, who may know where to find a kennel.
Let us know if you find a good place.
The new west bus station serves Dali, Lijiang, Zhongdian, etc: www.gokunming.com/en/listings/item/wes_32366/
Despite its official name, the place seems to be colloquially known as the Majie Bus station (马街客运站), after the part of town in which it's located.
Hi Robbs. I don't want to toot my own horn too much, but the mountain I wrote about in the GoKunming blog a few days ago, Changchong Shan, is one of the best choices in Kunming for convenience, being relatively uncrowded, and accessibility. You can get there on the bus in 20-30 minutes from Wenlin Jie. Here is the post: www.gokunming.com/[...]

One of the more unique hotpot experiences available in Kunming. The higher priced cuts of yak meat, including the yak carpaccio, are excellent.
It's also about as vegetarian friendly as hotpot gets because each person gets an individual pot and there is a (purportedly) vegetarian broth available, as well as a range veggies and good highland barley noodles.
The Yunnan courtyard-style restaurants like Laofangzi, Deyiju, etc are generally up to the task for a solid meal at a somewhat higher-than-average price.
Airuochun is yet another of these options, but perhaps a little ahead of the pack, especially for its tasty pork and pigeon offerings.
Nice place with a friendly owner who really cares about the quality of his food.
Went here for lunch today. Nothing to write home about, but friendly service and a decent price.
Good place to go if you want to try some really strange food including bugs, snake, wild roots, etc. The veggies are also fresh and tasty.

Getting away: Changchong Mountain
Posted by(I was knackered this morning, so it only goes up to the disgusting fake stones, which are apparently thanks to a sponsorship deal with Hongyun tobacco company).
Getting away: Changchong Mountain
Posted byI logged the alternate route up the mountain and pasted the link below. Though it is very steep in some parts, I think this route is better because it's more of a trail and less of a road, has less traffic and requires less trekking up Longquan Lu.
