Inexpensive hotel in Kunming
By WINDENERGY | 6/6/2007 3:06:54 AM
I got this tip from a fellow traveler on the bus ride to Lijiang. I prefer a private room with a bath instead of a dormitory usually. At the Camellia Hotel, I stayed 4 nights in a private room for 120 rmb/night. A cheaper alternative is the Yun Du Hotel (Chinese owned, 2 star) which is allowed to lodge foreign travelers. It is located near the long-distance bus station and train station on Beijing Lu. One night rooms are available for only 80 rmb/night.

Mama Naxi's in Lijiang
By WINDENERGY | 4/5/2007 6:50:47 AM
Mama Naxi'sguesthouse in Lijiang offers the traveler a very inexpensive bed,as well as serving both breakfast and dinner. A dormitory bed is only 15 rmb/night and dinner is just 10 rmb for all you can eat. I was also given assistance on places to see and were to buy a cheap return bus ticket to Kunming. You can call Mama Naxi if you are wandering lost in Lijiang @ 8881012.

Must Visit English Bar and Restaurant
By RMOKRISKI | 7/21/2006 6:58:35 AM
Frosty Morning is a must visit for a quick check back in with the West. The proprieters of this English pub could not be any friendlier. The Bar features Wester DVDs (The Sopranos is Philip's favorite), a great pool table (don't play with Hsiaoping, she is a pool shark), and, quite simply, the cleanest bathroom I encountered in China. The Satellite sports cap off a wonderful night.

Kunming's Diversity
By SHIJIE | 4/20/2006 3:13:41 AM
Since my arrival in Kunming I've had the pleasure of meeting Chinese Nationals from every corner of China, and expats from many countries. Kunming maintains a great diversity among its residents, including large communities of Italian, French, British, and American. It's a great place to relax in the year-round spring-like climate, work a little, and study/practice many languages. Also, if you decide to study a new language there are many schools to choose from, though Summit Foreign Language School http://www.summitkm.com is among the best, and offers programs in nine languages.

Foreign Food
By KYLE | 4/14/2006 5:34:22 AM
As most Guesthouses in Kunming are in the center of the city some tourists might miss the popular Foreigner Street. More widely known as Wen ling jie has food from all over the world. Mexican, Italian, Thai, French, Japanese, oh right, and Chinese dishes can be prepared at reasonable prices all on the same street.
