Why Yunnan?

* Ethnically diverse * beautiful and varied scenery, from jungles to snow mountains * really good weather * not as polluted as the rest of China I had a friend who lived in Kunming once, which was the best he could do and still get a job. Some foreigners open cafes in Dali/Lijiang/Zhongdian. I should really do another weekend trip to Lijiang or Zhongdian.

Come to Fuxian Lake and I'll take you sailing. 40 min from Kunming airport.

Kunming used to be much nicer, but is getting a lot of pollution these days. Dianxi lake used to be so nice...and now its just algae.

Agree. That's why I don't live there, just visit.

It is a shame really. Kunming could have been the SF of China.

This is a really interesting idea, though maybe a bit too expensive and, ah, "hip" for my tastes. (Currently hopping from Airbnb to Airbnb flatshare, paying $1000 or less a month for housing with internet and utilities included. Would be even cheaper if I wasn't in Western Europe.) I've been thinking lately of where I would like to live for most of my late twenties and early thirties. I'm definitely a bit of a loner,…

Not to rain on your parade, but isn't it a bit disingenuous to compare your cost with living in NY or SF? I mean, of course it's much cheaper to live in Lisbon or Mexico City, regardless of the particular accommodation.

Living in Lisbon is cheap? Ok...
