BBC says this is the biggest crackdown on TAR since the cultural revolution, which sounds a bit exaggerated. Apparently the increase in self-immolations is one of the causes...
Open mikes in Kunming should be Unesco cultural heritage goddammit!
It might be a good idea to get to Yuanmou by bus first because of the convenient transport there (there's a highway from Kunming).
From Yuanmou you can take the early morning train to Heijing, which is the first or second stop back in the direction of KMG and takes about 1-1.5 hour.
In Heijing it's possible to spend the night in two mansions of former salt merchant families. Expect to pay around 50Y for a not-so-comfortable room, but at least the setting will be great.
I found this whole part of Chuxiong prefecture to be rather surprising. Heijing is well worth a two day stay, Yuanmou even more. There's a phallic shaped pagoda in Dayao 大姚, a 3 hour drive from Yuanmou through dry mountain scenery, passing an unexpected cascade on the way.
