Red, yellow, blue and green, the tender peacocks, whirling skirts of Xishuangbanna Girls…In my mind, Yunnan is a colorful dream, but when I arrived here, I discovered that everything was pure and simple.
I challenged myself in Tiger Leaping Gorge. The rugged beauty of Meili Snow mountain, Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain is attracting adventurers worldwide; in the peaceful old town of Lijiang, people like to stay in their houses leisurely, indulging themselves in Dongba Culture and Naxi Ancient Music.

I went to Yunnan in November, 2003. At that time, the climate was temperate and the landscape was beautiful. Don’t go to Yunnan in summer, or you would suffer from great heat. Spend just one day to visit Xishuang Banna. The great dance and singing performance named "The Evening of Meigong River" is very good, 120Y including self-help barbecue. Yulong Snow mountain is really very beautiful.
