... train line from Kunming to Lijiang. Yes, one day, in the not so far future, there will be a train connection to Lijiang. Apparently construction for the Lijiang train station just started, but give it another year or so and the bus companies will be out of business once the train starts operating.

In any case, we made our way along the pier watching women cleaning fresh caught fish or laying fish out to dry. We came upon a house that had ...

... gear and looked very ornate but I was still wary climbing on. The route to the foot of the mountain took us along a six lained highway, something I can safely say I have never done before!

Dali has an amazing location, sandwiched between the Jade Green mountains and Erhai lake.The old city center is within high walls and gates, and it ...

... one of whom could speak quite good English. They were with a group of 14 and obviously it was quite a joke that they'd been put in with the two white women, but they were respectful and quiet, and we had quite a good night's sleep. The beds were comfortable, and the train clean. We rolled into Dali at about 8 a.m., found ourselves a taxi and were driven to our hotel. The hotel was large, and our spacious room ...

The whole village smelled nice that day and looked ...
