Hyppasikohan se tiikeri oikeasti tuosta yli...
Yksi Yunnanin ihmeista, Tiger Leaping Gorge eli vapaasti kaannettyna "Tiikeri loikkaa" -rotko, on yksi maailman syvimmista. Silla on pituutta 16 kilometria ja Jangtse-joen pinnasta vuorten huipulle on mahtavat 3900 metria. Turistirysa, mutta oikealla ...
maze of old cobblestone streets and waterways
On my way south from Tiger Leaping Gorge the next stop was the old town of Lijiang. An aimless stroll through town often entails getting lost once or twice along the maze of ancient cobblestone streets, resulting in the discovery of a yet unvisited corner ...

En tur gjennom ”Tiger-hoppe-juvet”.
... juv, og de høyeste punktene på hver side er på hele 5600 og 5400 meter over havet. De aller fleste vestlige turister i Lijiang tar også turen til Tiger Leaping Gorge, og på Mama Naxi's traff jeg på et eldre Australsk par som nettopp hadde ...

Another "old town"
... much, just wandered around a little and relaxed. That night we did go see a Naxi orchestra performance. (Naxi are a minority people in Lijiang area.) One of the good things to do In Lijiang is actually to rent bicycles and get out of Lijiang. There are ...
Bike Riding & lost again !!!
Had a great day being lost in the countryside outside Lijiang as we were trying to head to the villages of Shu He & Baisha. Rented bikes from our hostel for 15 yuan each & headed off with the mud map they gave us. The maps aren't very accurate at ...
Picture Perfect Lijiang

Syötiin matkalla jossain pysähdyspaikassa kiinalaista 'pikaruokaa', eli seisovasta pöydästä laitetaan kaikkia ruokia tarjottimelle ja maksat X summan kassalle (tällä kertaa 15 juania eli alle 2e) sen lunastamisesta. Ilma selkeni matkan aikana ...
Quitter Lijiang pour Shangri-la
Le soleil brille ce matin sur la ville, preuve que les previsions meteo televisees nationales ne sont pas assez precises car il devait pleuvoir toute la journee. On ne peut etre qu'indulgent a ce sujet vu la taille du pays et puis on s'en fiche puisqu'il ...

Venedig lässt grüßen
