The trip from Lijiang to the southeast corner of Yunnan is not for those with motion sickness!  Bus, bus, train, minibus, bus...after 23 hours travel, with some frightening cliff edge drop-offs and brutal bumpy roads we arrive in Xiejie, the old hilltop ... Read more >

Tiger Leaping Gorge - WOW!

CHINA | Friday, 23 Nov 2007 | Views [901] | Comments [2]

We headed out early from our lovely Gao Ke Inn in Lijiang to find the streets empty at 7am except for schoolkids heading for class. Cobblestone streets all to ourselves.  Nice.  Caught the 9:10am bus to Tiger Leaping Gorge (3hrs) and followed the Yangtze ... Read more >

Ni Hao!  Egads, there's just a wee bit of a language barrier here...but we've got the skills to fill our bellies at least!  We've developed a fondness for clay pots stuffed with rice that you pick all the stir fry toppings for.  They give you a little ... Read more >

Stir Fries and Smoggy Skies

CHINA | Saturday, 10 Nov 2007 | Views [394] | Comments [1]

Here we are tucked twelve floors above the busiest street in downtown Kowloon, Hong Kong.  The city churns with consumerism.  It may be tough to swallow the smog-ridden air but the stir fries are really yummy, even for breakfast!  Laura even found her ... Read more >
