My 1st day
after reaching Kunming, i spent my 1st night in the hotel...though Yunnan is very warm, but there's no heater in the room so it is quite cold inside, we turned on the air-con to 30 degrees to get some heat...
2nd day
very early on the 2nd day, we went to Shilin, the stone forest in Kunming. All the stones looks like growing from the ground, just like trees, and there are thousands and thousands stones, of different shapes. some of them also has stories behind. this picture was taken on the highest point of the stone forest, where we could see almost all stones in the park.
This strange word is the Chinese of stone forest, there were so many people want to take pictrue with it, very crowded.
Hahax, guess who is this? it's me!!! I was wearing the traditional costume of the Yi People (彝族), I like it very much.
in the afternoon, we went to a tea house to drink some famous tea in Yunnan, among them, the most famous one is this, called Pu Er Tea, it was made into a traditional Chinese coin, i took pic with it. I don't even dare to drink this coin, it's so cute!
Hey, look, i became the tea maid!!! actually i am just acting!~
My 3rd day
we reached Dali on the 3rd day and went to the place called 'sky dragon temple', there were 3 huge towers and alot of temples. at the back, it is a huge mountain with clouds around it. what a wonderful picture!!! it's nature that makes it!~
In the afternoon, we went to a lake called the 'Butterfly Lake' where i change to another costume that Bai People (白族) wear. I like their so called hat, it looks so nice! actually it got a very meaningful design, which represents wind, flower, snow and moon in Dali.they have a poem which is
下关风啊，上关花．
下关的风啊吹着上关的花．
洱海月啊，苍山雪．
洱海的月啊照着苍山的雪．
In the evening, we also visited the Dali ancient town and some of the famous place in Dali, and then i spent my evening with my mom on a huge ship on Er Hai.
My 4th day,
early in the moring, we went to the beautiful Lijiang ancient city by bus. the first thing appears when we reached Lijiang was the snow mountain. it is called the 'Yu Long Xue Shan' (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain). We took alot of pic with it becoz this is the first time i saw a snow mountain in my life!!!~ also my mom's first time!

And very fast it was night already, so we walked in the Lijiang Ancient City, it has a street called the 'bar street', i like it alot. See the cloth on my shoulder? it's a kind of costume in Lijiang called 披肩, something for you to cover ur shoulders. mine was given by the hotel, it fits me exactly becoz I like purple!
therefore, nearly half of my trip past. I miss all the place i went. Since the trip is so so so so long, i cant tell you at one time, too tired typing and organising, there are still millions of stories but i'm afraid there's no space for them. wait for the next time to tell you! so hope you can come to read my diary next time for the other part of my Yunnan Trip! Bye~
