That's the one, Lupsiwan.
Everything small, clothes, gifts, hats, but not furniture type stuff. Or cats.
Friends coming to stay and no more room in the pad. Where is a cheap but reasonable hotel for foreigners in Kunming?
An idea of rate would be nice.
I know the Camelia hotel was about 200.
You can get bigger bikes in Kunming. There is a guy with a bunch of them off Dianchi Lu, but they are not allowed into the city, apparently.
Not sure where it is, but you need to find the local fabrics market. I have used these in other cities and they will make anything you want from any materials you choose. There are numerous seamstresses in and around these markets.
Have you tried around the bird market area for baskets?
There is also a huge wholesale market about 10+ km south of the city. Can't remember where. But is sells everything.
No results found.
Great to know it is no longer dry.
Good review BTW
This has moved.
The cut flowers are about 700m east on Duonan Jie. The plants and trees are about 700 m west and follow Duocai Section.
A reasonable choice of lumber that has improved over time. Fancy hardwoods like walnut, and mahogany are in abundance. There are some plywood and rubber-wood boards available. There are also some kiln dried imported softwoods and merbao available. Some of the lumber is very green, so look for the kiln dried if you need stable timbers.
Echo everything said by others.
Breakfast great and the serve from 8am. Most other places say 9am and they still are not ready.
Sandwiches are cheap 22-32, and really packed full of filling. We got some sandwiches for a day out, the only mistake I made was ordering two, as this was too much. These are seriously good sangars, and they are wrapped in alu foil.
In fairness to Metro, they are a wholesalers, and not really a supermarket. Hence the need for a card, which can be got around.
They have improved in the year I have been away. They now carry a more consistent range of imported foodstuffs and they also seem to have sorted out the mported milk supply.
They have a wider range of electrical appliances now, there is a coice of more than one toast. There is also a better range of seasonal non foods, like clothes, shoes, garden furniture and camping gear.

Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
Posted byI am pretty sure last years article was incorrect. I contacted GoKunming at the time.
Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
Posted byFrom the article "...In Kunming, Dragon Boat Races used to be held during the holiday at the Yunnan Nationalities Village. " This seems unambiguous, but I think erroneous.
Celebrating Chinese Dragon Boat Festival
Posted byI am not sure that dragon boat events were ever held in the Minorities Village. This could be a hang over from erroneous remark in an article on dragon boat festivals a year or two ago.
The only dragon boat events I know of, in the last 10 years, were held on the northern half of Haigeng Dam (Daba). These now fall on the calendar of the international dragon boat racing events.
A friendly reminder from the Kunming Public Security Bureau
Posted byI guess Hainan might be a pilot scheme for licencing and taxing gambling and prostitution (speculation). If things are legalized, it can take them out of the hands of criminal enterprises.
