Jour 4 - Yuanyang / Kunming

Le Village Duoyishu possède des rizières typiques. Yuanyang est la région des Hani. Pour connaître la culture et l’architecture des Hani, il faut visiter le Village de Qinkou. Puis nous retournons vers Kunming. Sur le chemin, on s'arrête à Tonghai pour visiter un village Mongole.

On the move again

So as the Olympics begin (at bloody last) my time in China comes to an end, for now at least. Its been great fun and not as difficult as I had expected. I guess I thought the infrastructure of the place would be less developed than it is and apart from a few nasty bus journeys (suspect I have...
