I think there has been a major miscommunication somewhere. I checked with a friend who i the GM of a Crowne Plaza hotel in Chongqing.
She had a look at the official notification from the government which they received the other day.
The requirement is for 48 hours testing before interprovincial travel (by plane, train or automobile).
There was not mention of 24 hours for anything local.
Does anyone in this group have access to either Yunnan or Kunming government websites to see if there is a local policy?

This article on GICExpat dated Sept 9 indicates there is a China wide 48 hour testing requirement for subways, buses, etc.
I'm bothered by this statement "passengers must present a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours before boarding planes, trains, buses or other means of transportation." which doesn't define what those other means of transportation would be.
Do I need a covid test to take a taxi?
Do I need a covid test to get in my wife's car?
Nobody in my wife's very large community group knows about these new restrictions.
So if I'm reading this correctly, the entrance to VC Park next to the Korean BBQ and Metro north has strict controls, but the entrance from the subway or street level by Beijing Rd is NOT controlled?
That sounds a bit like they're trying to protect the residential units rather than the shops but it's still kinda dumb.
I'm not sure this is actually a competitor site. The Kunming government has a responsibility to encourage and develop new sources of investment and tourism. In this new site they are simply doing their job.
It's possible they may have access to information that would not be immediately available to GoKunming, and vice versa, so the two sites could actually be complementary rather than competitive.
As for their skill with the English language, so what if it's not perfect. It's way better than my knowledge of the Chinese language and in general I can understand what they are trying to say.
Had my first ever visit to Slice of Heaven last night for a group party. Barbara recognized me as a newcomer and immediately came to welcome me and introduce herself.
While speaking with her at the counter, a server walked past with a pizza for one table. The aroma immediately caught my attention. It was awesome.
Our group shared 4 different pizzas. All were amazing. I think the sauce really makes the difference since it was very flavourful. I also put back to cups of cappuccino. I guess they must have fixed problems noted in other reviews because I found it to be quite good.
If I lived closer I would be a regular here.
