Just back from a trip to china with her indoors, we flew out of Vientiane and started in Kunming, then took a domestic to chongquing where we got on a bullet train to chengdu. Loads of pics so it might be a long thread, grab a beer and pull up a chair
First thing to do is nip over to the chinese embassy in Vientiane and get tourist visas, $35 for me ( aussie passport) And $15 For the wife ( Lao passport ) bung em another $20 each and you can get it back next day instead of 4 days
Arriving in Kunming, The airports quite new and bloody efficient
Time to find a taxi
Taxis in Kunming all have a perspex or steel cage around the driver, fok knows why
