... white walls, decoated with paintings. Every village has its theme: dragons near Kunming, large pictures, and near Dali: paintings in black &amp; white, like theChinnese pictures weknow.<br><br>Dali is a fascinating city: magnificent buildings, a river in the middle(also near our hotel), good food.

... t say how far away this mysterious "Grand Canyon" was. It was approaching 4pm and I thought about it getting dark in a couple hours, but decided to take a chance and attempt to find this place. The path was fairly steep and narrow, covered with draping trees and seemed to lead no where in particular.

... way back and having to cycle anyway! The next day we went for a walk by the lake and paid this farmer to take us out on his boat. He was obviously a busy man, having to stop rowing all the time to take phone calls on his mobile. Another day we took the chair lift up to the mountain top with this group of Israelis we met and stayed in a hostel there, with a full menagerie of animals including geese ...

Of course, when we got to the town it was a walled park that charged 65 yuan for one FOREIGN person to enter, which we all, being the spendthrifts we were, quickly vetoed. Instead we decided to wander around, take some photos, enjoy the lovely weather, and see what arose from there. We got some great pictures, went ...

... streets brimming with a hybrid Euro-Sino cafe culture, intersected by streams flowing through to the lake from the surrounding mountains. The sheer volume of the various eating and watering holes means Dali really comes alive in the evening, as seems to be the case with many of the Chinese towns we have visited. The Amsterdamization is enhanced when approached by elderly Bai women, dressed in ...

... goodbyes to A Qing. Realizing that it was our last night in Dali we wanted to find our way out to the southern gate and walk along the city wall that evening. We went for a wonderful supper at a Tibetan restaurant ~ I had the best meal of all the meals we had on this trip; and then we walked around the wall until it was time to head back to the hotel. Ah, beautiful Dali ~ how wonderful you look at night, too!

... i could understand Chinese clearly. Mr Lee invited us back to his house for a special tea, were they pour the tea in2 each cup three times b4 drinkin it.
