#Dali[Day 14 F]
-> Exploring Dali after we spent the night sleeping on the Sofa due to our accommodation being closed :( at 1am. We arrived
-> Checked out some old school medicine market and the Old City of Dali
Bus ride to Dali from Kunming ~3.5hrs :) We got to watch movies, I forgot what movie it was but i had seen it before. It was a Chinese movie.
Out of luck we were sitting opposite of Jordan's bus. He couldn't get a ride to Jinghong, Xishuangbanna for the water festival (I did warn him while in Kunming that it gets booked out extremely early). We happen to cross paths again and explored Yunnan together.Pancake for breakfast at Dali Old Town (大理古城)
I really wanted to buy these Tibetan light shades, but they were very expensive. Approx 80AUD.
We went horse riding for a few hours up into the mountains of Dali.
The Cangshan (苍山) mountain range.
We didn't take the tourist chairlift because it sounded pricey. So we went 4wd with a horse
A small present from Colin in Dali. Shark was Shahid, she found his name hard to say. Aligator was Jordan because he smile was so big.
Bus tickets from all the various cities.
The view out of our backpackers. Those were the mountains we would soon trek.
