“Interesting Stay”

Getting to the hotel from the airport was easy, if you like bumping your way along a dirt road with potholes everywhere. When we arrived at Lijiang Old Town it took us quite a long time walking around asking people but that was because we were pronouncing the hotel, 'Hexy' when it should have been pronounced 'Hershey.' The ladies at the check- in counter were not very fluent in English so we had trouble communicating with them. Though two men who work for the hotel wanted to practice their English on us, their names were Michael and Ryan, they were very helpful. We got put in to a room but one of our party didn't like the surrounding ambient noise of live music late into the night nor the loud tourists in the street in the morning. He asked to change rooms and we got put in to a beautiful, secluded spot in the hotel complex. Until a huge group of loud Chinese tourists filled the whole courtyard up, not so peaceful. The whole room was quite clean, with cleaners coming in on random days. I would recommend the Hexi hotel because it was right in the middle of the old town.

Gerard: Lijiang is touted as one of China's premier heritage areas and has a World Heritage designation to prove it. Undoubtedly the town is beautiful, with the distinctive architecture of the region on show, but it is not very authentically 'ancient'. In fact a major earthquake in 1996 largely destroyed many of the houses, so what you see today …

Isla: This morning we had our first Chinese breakfast, noodle soup. They also had a man frying eggs so I ate one of them too. Mum and dad were asking him to make an omelette but they don't seem to know what an omelette is. Some other breakfast dishes were cinnamon rolls and breakfast "bowels"! We headed off the streets of Old Town Lijiang. The …

Gerard: This morning we met our guide Teddy Xu who came with an excellent recommendation from Bill and Jane, and he proved to be well worth hiring. For the rest of the trip we also had a driver and a people mover, similar to a Toyota Previa, which made life easy. Teddy's home town is Dali, a few hour's from Lijiang. He is a Bai, one of the many …

... blogs of other cyclists I knew that finding a camping spot in the gorge was challenging, so I set my sights on Jane’s guest house, a common setting off point for hikers, just beyond the far end of the gorge. For just 20 yuan, I had a dormitory all to myself for the night.

Then it was time to follow the Jin Sha river back down and climb arduously back out of the river valley, then over a range to reach Li Jiang. My injured ribs were giving me a lot of pain by now, and ...

... expect to get a word of comprehension out of anyone. And so we've come acorss the border armed with pieces of paper with our barely legible imitation of the chinese characters representing the city we want a bus to - Kunming. We needn't have worried, not at this early stage anyway, as the ticket seller at the bus station has excellent English and points us to the exact spot we should wait for our bus for the next 2 hours, while another charming chap with passable ...
