Review of Harmony Guesthouse by newsboy (20), 9 juin 2005

This is the best guesthouse in China with friendly helpful staff who provide advice on travel and treat you like family. As well as nice sunny courtyard out back they are one of the few places to include kitchen and laundry for guest use, plus the showers are always hot.
Lots of people now stay in the old town, and this is located opposite Raven and Hazels.
Highly recommended.

Review of Kunming International Airport (KMG) by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

Kunming has an international airport which is very user-friendly.

When leaving the airport, you can step straight out the front and there is a metered-taxi rank with many cabs waiting.It is a good idea to have your destination written in Chinese on paper to show the driver.

There isn\'t usually any problem, but make sure the driver turns the fare meter on.

Review of French Cafe (Lan Bai Hong) by Wocca (748), 9 juin 2005

The French Cafe is one of the most readily recognisable and easy to find cafes on Wen Li Jie.

Naturally enough, quite a few French people go there.

Inside is open & spacious. Lovely atmosphere. Foreigners often like to sit in chairs under umbrellas on the sidewalk and read ...
