2011,Travelling To Yunnan (One)

2011,Travelling To Yunnan (One)
  Well, last summer was really a good time for me. I was just fresh out of high school after taking the final exams. And I can still remember my mom and I were watching TV in the bedroom enjoying the air conditioner when the temperature hit 38.Then A sudden thought magically came to both of us. “why not go somewhere cool ? to get rid of such unbearable weather.” and the sudden thought finally brought us 5 days preparation­ (online searching, buying the travelling stuff, camera and hotel reservation. )this is our tour route:
Chengdu---Dali---Lijiang---Shangri-La---kunming---Chengdu
p.s. Yunnan is a very beautiful province in China,here is the link to wikipedia   CLICK HERE   Dali here
travelling by train seems like more fun ,and less money will be cost on the way. So we took the train at Chengdu railway station the first day and arrived at Dali,our first destination ,at dawn on the third day.we enjoyed the scenery outside the windows all the day on the train.The soil color was changing from yellow in chengdu to red in Yunnan .And the altitude became higher so we both felt a little sick and something ringing in the ears ,but the discomfort disappeared before long.
The fabulous dawn when we got Dali .


Dali is famous for its mount.Cangshan ,Erhai lake,and the Dali ancient town,but it was just a little part of our plans.so our visit in dali was in only one day and one night.cool weather ,warm sunshine,and fresh air filled our visit.
We came to a Bai flavor lunchroom for lunch. (Minority in Dali is mainly Bai)

 And in the next morning,we moved on to Lijiang.
