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.

Mentions of the internet reporting for food and drug safety problems, and of the 200 kids who got food poisoning in Songming last year.
China's national meat scandal hits Yunnan
Posted by@fixit.
If you can find the original reports online, there is more detail, and it is clearer.
The stuff was being transferred from frozen, but with no cold chain some of it defrosted and was re-frozen several times. Some of it subsequently started to rot.
Wild mushroom season arrives with a friendly warning
Posted byIf someone can tell me how to put an arrow on a google map, and then post a link to the annotated map, I can put up the location of the wholesale market that specialises in mushrooms. They will be much cheaper there than anywhere else.
Be aware thought that the qizong are currently new season and about 45rmb/liang i.e. 450rmb/Kg.
Holiday operator suspended for violating national tourism laws
Posted byThis is a bit of a toxic industry, especially in China. It needs regulating and enforcement. Glad to see this has happened.
As for 1rmb tours. They should be very easily to regulate out by targeting them. It is, I believe illegal to tie tourists to spending money. I have no sympathy for anyone in this case.
Getting Away: Cycling and camping at Fuxian Lake
Posted byWhere Mike4gair keeps his boats is a good location. There is easy parking, and I am pretty sure the pedal boats. It is on the north shore away from the crowded areas, but there are some places to eat not far from there.
You may also be able to arrange some sailing with Mike.
