Forums > Living in Kunming > Respraying a bike frame Most areas have a little backstreet workshop that does cheap car repairs, in fact some are not even on the backstreets, but are in the small commercial units on the streets outside residential area. You can usually see cars outside with body filler, and sometimes you can even smell the paint solvents.
These places would probably be cheap as they will used the end of a can of paint being used on a car repair.
There are also commercial areas that specialize in auto parts and repair. There is one on the north side of Rixing Zhong Lu, a little east of JingGuang Lu. This is quite a big auto parts area, several blocks. There are possibly paint shops here

Seeing as Opera is made in China and has built in ad blockers and weepyend...one wonders.
Forums > Living in Kunming > What is happening with Gokunming? I am using Chrome most of the time and have no problems connecting to GoKunming. From what I have experienced, it is only Google search engine that is inoperable here. The browsing works fine.

Summiting Yunnan's majestic Haba Snow Mountain

Scientists "99 percent" certain SARS originated in Yunnan bats
Posted byScientists probably have different ideas about how the virus may have been transmitted and transferred between species. Some may be fairly certain., but the cannot say with absolute certainty, and so they say that they do not know.

Op-ed: Officials spoiling cities they should be improving
Posted byI live near Haigeng Park. I love the way that there is a new section of Hubin Lu that is not safe for pedestrians, and another part that is not safe for cyclists. They have now banned cycles from a section of, what was, cycle path along the side of DianChi lake.
Another example of lack of continuity. There is a huge spend to upgrade Cuihu (Green Lake) area. It would be nice if they finish the long overdue subway first. Hopefull Cuihu will be finished before we have another change of Mayor, who will focus on HIS projects as the priority.
