Zhongdian or Shangri-La as the government renamed it recently is a strange place. Perched on the hills of northern Yunnan at 3300 meters above sea level its inhabitants are 80% tibetan. It is a fast growing town as most of the traffic out of eastern tibet travels through it so there is a...

Tiger leaping gorge

One thing all backpackers seem to do round here in northern Yunnan is the tiger leaping gorge trek, for good reason too as it is stunning! Its only quite a short walk, 24 km and can be comfortably done in 2 days. Some understandably take longer just to take in the views. We got a bus from...

A short time at Mama's

Lijiang is a strange place, its one of the few remaining complete old towns in China and is protected by UNESCO. Obviously this is great but sadly it means that the small chinese streets are insanely busy. Its an incredibly picturesque town with streams, even more than Dali, running down the...

The curios incident of the big toe in the night-time!

First impressions of Jinghong

Jinghong is warm, its right in the south of Yunnan province near the borders of Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and Thailand, its technically a separate little region called Xishuanbanan, most of the signs here are in Thai and Chinese and there are a lot of SE asian looking folk around. I got here early...
