Well, since I just sat around the hotel room and recovered yesterday, there’s nothing much to report.
This morning we took a flight to LiJiang which is a 50 minute flight northwest of Kunming. The descent was a bit choppy since we are in mountainous region. These hills and mountains are perhaps the precursors to the Himalayas which for certain start in Tibet. We are definitely closer to Tibet and you can see that by the architecture and there’s yak butter and yak yogurt for sale everywhere which I think is common in Tibetan diet.
We checked into a lodge that is decorated in the Naxi (minority) people’s style. There whole hotel seems like it’s one big wood carving. It’s beautiful, rustic, and it’s only $20 a night! And it’s located in the old town of LiJiang which is a reconstruction of what it looked like hundreds of years ago. It’s so peaceful and quiet here.
