Yunnan Part One

I just spent a week in Yunnan, eats of Tibet, south of Sichuan, north of Burma, Laos, etc. I'm putting pictures up in installments, cause I have a lot. First I flew to Kunming, then took an overnight sleeper bus to Shangri-la up in the mountains. Kunming was nice and warm, but we drove up hill for 12 hours, and by the time we got to the Tibetan plateau, it was snowing. Great.

For these first few days I was by myself, then met up with Jill and Claire in a town called Lijiang south of Shangri-la. If you're one of those types who likes to look at a map to see what happened, here it is.

Our trip: Kunming--> Shangri-la--> Lijiang --> Tiger Leaping Gorge--> Dali-->Kunming.

Pictures of Shangri-la come first.
