Yunnan 2008

We left Beijing for a 1-week trip to the south-western province of Yunnan. Dàlǐ is a historic city of the Bai ethnic minority. It is known for its well maintained, original architecture. We did a boat tour on the Erhai Hú lake there and a horseback riding trip to the Zhonghé Shan temple. A beautiful gorge can be reached from there via a short trail. Our second destination was the city of Lìjiāng further north. This is already mountainous region on the south-eastern edge of the Himalaya. We joined an organized bus tour to a Naxi settlement, with is now rather a tourist business than a real settlement. The main attraction of the bus tour was the gondola ride to the Yùlóng Xueshan summit at an altitude of 4680m. On the way back, we visited the Yùshui Zhài temple and the Sùhé lamasery. During the next two days, we made a long horseback ride to Saddle Mountain and a trip to the raging Tiger Leaping Gorge.
