Thanks for the offer apple girl, but a hotel would meet their needs better.
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.

Beijing approves massive Changshui International Airport expansion
Posted byA thought on the aging population in China. We should not forget the economic changes that have occurred in the last two generations.
The people of retiring age over the next 10 years (50-65 now) are the generation who made the big money. What will they do with the money when they have time on their hands? One of the things they will likely do is travel.
This generation of middle class retirees is not the poor, financially dependent, aged who rely on their children for support. In fact many of them are supporting their children financially.
These people are mobile and rich enough to travel in a way that their parents could only have dreamed of. There are millions of them.
Beijing approves massive Changshui International Airport expansion
Posted byI would guess that the number of people who will be able to afford to travel by air will continue to increase, even if the population declines.
As for there being not a lot to do in Kunming, it has always been the springboard to other places in Yunnan. I just see more people using the springboard.
