Saturday 18th November 2006 02:01:06 PM Yunnan Province north[ 0 messages] Travel We went to the north of Yunnan Province on an 8 days trip. The trip started in Kunming and from here we went to Dali, Lijiang and Shangrila and returned to Lijiang and Kunming. In the afternoon went off to Lijiang (distance 200 km) and before arriving in the hotel we eat dinner. We arrived at the hotel at 7 p.m. The hotel wasn’t an ordinary hotel. A very big area with small houses, each house has 3 room and a big living room and kitchen for sharing. Every house has its own made to serve the guests. Later in the evening we went to the old city in Lijiang. The most of the old city is now tourist-shops and bars. In Lijian you will find the Naxi and Mosuo people. Next morning we waked up early. The sunrise was beautiful and it was now possible to see the mountains with the snow against a blue sky. We left the hotel early to drive to Shangrila. On the way we made a stop at the Hutiao (Tiger Jumping) Gorge Walking down to the stream was not a problem, the problem was walking up. The thin air make us breathless and make the heart beating. The hotel in Shangrila was like a 5 star hotel but only cost HKD 250 a day. Walking around up there is not easy and it’s recommended to take the high mountain medicine and bring a bottle of oxygen. The oxygen will help you to breath after walking up stairs or up hill. You can buy oxygen and pills in all hotel lobby shops. This is a place I would like to visit one more time (by myself). In the evening we had our dinner in a farmhouse. Nice place to walk around and see the farmer village. Next morning we went back to Kunming a long trip with some stops every 2 hours. The next day in Kunming we went 90 km to Jiuxiang (nine villages) Scenic Region. A nice scenery and a cave that is worth to explorer. Later in the afternoon we went to a park in Kunming to see the park and the seagulls. Amazing to see so many seagulls flying at the same time. This was a short story of a long journey. China has amazing scenery and its worth to go there even it’s a little hard to travel this way. View my shapshots on my Flickr website – it will take me many days before all photos are uploaded so be patient.
