Well don't drive north on QingNian Lu past Remin Lu at night then. I have seen them pull over ebikes there for the last two months with a random check point right before the upslope with the intersection at YuanTong Jie.
The Nordica english corner is alive and well. Mondays 8:30pm, though they say 8pm start. But they charge 5rmb now to sit, but you get a cup of hot water (free refills).
Yunnan 卤面; sickly sweet or over spiced in some other manner. Quit trying, after 5th place. Sometimes a place will use decent quality noodles. Been to the places talked about in this thread, and other places where the locals line up. Even one place that closes by 1:30pm and doesn't even bother opening for dinner. All sucked. Good only if you want a cheap meal with meat. Many times the dishes that aren't 卤面 tastes better at those restaurants. 木瓜水 is alright.
Your title is "卤面- best way to have your noodles"
Well some people think the best way is to eat noodles is to eat them outside of Yunnan. Having been through many other parts of China, I agree.

I've never used this agencies services, but they do have good reviews on GoKunming from real users.
@The Dudeson's
Well 2009 and 2011 were well below average rainfall years. So it's not just all due to waste/mismanagement. But I agree waste/not enough reservoirs/rapid city growth are influential factors in urban water shortages. I lived through a few "droughts" in Seattle, Washington. Too much growth for too few small reservoirs. Rain is not an issue in Seattle.
No results found.
Never gotten sick once at Sals. Their food is TexMex, so yeah, not authentic Mexican food, but pretty authentic as TexMex goes. Burrito wrap has improved a lot. Like the draft beer option now.
If you haven't had dairy products in a while, and do eat here, best forgo the sour cream. Nothing wrong with it, in fact it's the best sour cream in Kunming, but if you've eaten Chinese for month or months with no dairy intake, your system will react to sour cream or probably any liquid dairy product not so well. Maybe that's what happened with nailer and tallamerican.
Update:
It's now 5 working days for regular processing. So I submitted my application a bit before 5pm on a Friday and was told to pick it up next week Friday after 5pm.
Cost is now 400rmb for a single 30 day entry. Or that was what I was charged anyways. There are no posted prices and its cash only with no receipt except for your passport pickup. That's like $65 USD.
You can pay another 150rmb for 2 day or 100rmb for 3 day processing. For 400rmb, they should process it in three days like they used to before, but now you'd pay 500rmb. The office is still like deserted most of the time, so why does it take longer now and cost extra. If you opted for 2 day, thats like $90 usd. All other neighboring countries charge like $25usd.
The rest of and cope review is still good for hours and location.
Far out, less people. Big enough to get lost in. Pretty and quiet near dusk. 20yuan entrance fee.
Like everyone else says, best Indian food in Kunming. They have lunch plates and dinner plates. Show up before 1pm for lunch.
They are on the 4th floor of the half empty shopping mall. Best way is too take the elevator past the KFC around the corner from Starbucks.
Most individual dishes can feed only two hungry guys, so order more if you are starving. Naan order can take care of one only.
Five stars for the food. Go with Yereth's recommendations, plus any vegetable the waitress says is fresh.
Beware that Xue Fu lu is one way, so many taxis have to take a roundabout way to get here.
Kunming Fair again sets records
Posted byThis is becoming a major draw for locals, nearing the crowds of the auto fair. Traffic around the area was a nightmare though. Also, this fair was open to public (ticket 30rmb).

That is if you are lucky and the guard station is off eating lunch or break. Or you can show up at night. Last time I went through on the east entrance, the guards chased me down in a minivan and demanded I pay the 50rmb (now 65) entrance ticket, even though I was just planning on passing through.
No guards care if you are leaving TGL at either entrance, but if you weren't checked entering, then that's good luck.

Posted byYet another 15rmb increase. Though Tiger Leaping is one of the fees I think is well worth it.
The scenery on the East Ring that Geogramatt mentioned is wonderful. You'll need raingear cause your riding with the clouds at one point. Bit spartan on services, so bring some energy bars and extra bottle of water. If your in good shape, you can make the halfway point of 白水台 in a day by bike.
