Neither thread is conclusive, but both have useful leads. Good luck. (Please note the search box - in the top left of every page.)
Here's the GoKunming write-up of the Yunnan census figures: www.gokunming.com/[...]
(I'm not awake enough to run the figures right now, but I seem to remember that the percentage of the foreigners in China that are based in Yunnan is significantly higher than the percentage of Chinese nationals based in Yunnan.)
I've not seen any figures published regarding the expat population of Kunming. Yuanyangren's estimation method seems like a sensible approach.

Qianwang Jie is a little alley behind the Zhengyi Fang mall - get to the mall and you'll be able to track down the café

To nuance Pen140's directions: go *into the alley* past the Specialized bike shop.

Interview: Xiong Junwu
Posted byLooped it yesterday. Including the distance from the Green Lake area to the lakeside road and back, we clocked 130km.
We did an anticlockwise circuit: Dianchi Lu, pop a right down to the promenade by Caohai, across the causeway, follow the old road alongside the highway to Haikou, ride through Haikou, pop a left over the Tanglang River bridge, follow the new road alongside the Anning-Jinning highway, take a left just before Jinning (this section seems to not be officially open, but is sealed), catch a tailwind along the east side, walk through the short tunnel near Chenggong (after which there's a short diversion to the right around a construction area), and return to the city on the north side of the lake.
Carry water on the east side, there's not many places to refuel. There's next to no climbing, though there are a few bumps that'll slow you up a bit. It's less sheltered on the east side of the lake, so anticlockwise makes sense if you want to get most out of the potential tail wind. The surface is a bit shoddy around Haikou, but all the newly-laid road is glorious. Get yer skinnies on!

Finding Kunming's long distance bus stations
Posted byThere's been some renaming of the roads in that area. The bus station is on Caiyun Bei Lu (formerly Xin Kunluo Lu). A timetable I have from Jan 2010 has five buses to Yuanyang per day - one in the morning, and four in the evening. The map point on the listings page was a little out - i've just repositioned it.
