Cloud (South) your (state) River (Sichuan) mountains along the horizon, the only mountain in the plains is suitable for human habitation, farming, so many names in the "Dam" the word; has "Bazi," "child" is a small, meaning, referring to small plains. Kunming is surrounded by mountains, is itself a large "dam", "Wujiaba" The names may be living in the past here, the clan name. Wujiaba airport, close to Kunming area, perhaps the world, one of the nearest airport from the city, which is from Kunming, the geographical environment in which the decision: As the block is surrounded by mountains, cities can not expand outward, there is no room for arranged in the more distant the airport.
Come out from the airport, stay at East Market Tower is located in downtown Kunming, home of workers under the standard rooms 80, the room there is a free pure water, the next day before departure can be directly irrigated into the kettle, the province of a lot of trouble. Booked the next day the car is a 17 Nanjing Iveco, a day's price is 600 yuan. We later part of the whole trip in Yunnan are sitting Iveco, 12 individuals sitting in front of luggage in the back five seats, is very appropriate.
Tasting evening bridge garden bridge noodle, 15 yuan package, with a pot of Qi Guoji. Bridge the most prestigious Yunnan rice noodle snacks, shabu is actually a now eat noodle, store ready for hot soup, bring our own rice noodle, raw meat, vegetables and other ingredients into a soup cooked taste Therefore, all the shops selling noodle bridge will remind you: First, I must not drink the soup first! The soup to boil a few, are untouchable tongue touched, let alone a drink into the stomach.
Sell rice noodle shop across the bridge are everywhere in Kunming, the only difference is that each speaker a different soup, side dishes are different. Take garnish the beef pieces, having to cut too thin can be steamed in the soup, or is likely to cold soup, beef is still raw. Kunming's most famous noodle restaurant selling the bridge, one-Fu Hua Yuan One Park bridge. Fu Hua Yuan popular some, the bridge garden decor better.

He Jitang Unfortunately, I only drink like a cow, is this not really feel at home stewing over chicken Qi Guoji much better.
Park, he went from the bridge person teach you to listen to the night market in Queensland is really no meaning, soon came back.
Way back through the symbol of Kunming: Golden Mabi chicken Square, next to the Hump (Youth Hostel). We have to plan their journeys had planned to live here, 20 yuan per bed, but after this "field survey" after completely give up this idea: Here is surrounded by bars, the environment is extremely noisy. After our 23 o'clock, here it is brightly lit dance music loud and clear, how can feel at ease forever?
June 18: Kunming - Stone Forest - Jiuxiang - Kunming - Lijiang Morning 8:00 left to go Shilin, Jiu Xiang. Package car with a guide along the way for us to talk about weird Yunnan 18, what three mosquito a dish, four rats a sack, trains and not have a car fast, and so different from the domestic pass abroad. The rattle of effort, it is remarkable, as if the way is full of legend, everywhere is a beauty. The way to the Stone Forest in Kunming in fact worth a visit just close Yiliang the road junction south of the "dry Three Gorges", which is quite similar to the Three Gorges and the Yangtze River. South (Ning) Queensland (Ming) in the vicinity of the railway crossing, one can imagine the vast works hard.
Shilin arrived around 10 am, tickets are 80 yuan original price, because with the group, offers to 70, saved 10 the cost of money to eat lunch as a team meal.
Stone Forest is in fact very large, and now only a small part of the development, we are looking at the size of the so-called Stone Forest, where originally Road County, in the past has been known as the Lunan Stone Forest, and later in order to play tourist card, simply change the way County became the Shilin County, the Lunan Stone Forest's "way south" and the word will then need to be removed.
Shilin Geopark suitable as one to watch, where the stone can be said that strange, uncanny workmanship. However, the same as other domestic attractions, tourism development, are used to guide the visitor to imagine this piece of stone, like the elephant, like a beautiful piece of stone that way up to become boring. Overall: Stone Forest is one of the wonders of nature, but as a scenic run, much better than this. Similarly, geological wonders, the Haizi Shan Daocheng more vigorous ancient ruins of ancient ice cap, the general trend that takes away people.
In the Stone Forest turn for two hours after lunch, Ganbenjiuxiang used. This section is not very good walk through a heavy industrial area, highway heavy-duty trucks over the years has been rolling the bumps and hollows, repair numerous repair, poor road conditions. The reason to say "bad" instead of saying "very poor", because this road than behind us, if taken in the past month, all kinds of national and provincial highways, it can be described as a thoroughfare road.
Jiu Xiang arrived around three in the afternoon. Tickets for a fiftieth Jiu Xiang yuan, including an elevator, as well as boating Mashimo Canyon Yin Chui Gap costs, excluding returned 15 yuan a ropeway tickets. Applying for a student card (domestic and foreign can) you can buy half-price ticket.
Jiu Xiang is a Canyon terrain in a group of caves, and karst caves are karst topography, the gorge is considered by the wheat fields made of river washed. Yin Chui Gap in a month due to repair of dams, river a small gap, thus creating a nearly stationary surface, visitors can during rafting. After a Yin Chui Gap Gap is a Cry, a gap that large, fast-flowing, plus canyon is extremely narrow, underwater acoustic contacts Gudang, roar without a break. Cry Gap are at large in a period of repair, as if the thin strip of sky Emei general, although not as Emei water, momentum is comparable. 92 years of wheat River flood, flood knocked the Plank Road distort the local people are still frightened to talk about the matter so far.
After a Cry Gap or enter the cave.
The world of the cave are almost nothing but diametrically opposed to class struggle and the complexity of some sharp-shaped stones, colorful flowers everywhere the green leaves of the bulbs, bright and spacious can be used as City Hall's so-called bandits dividing the spoils "natural Hall", of course, hanging from a more inevitable a snapshot of the national clothing stalls, deceived our beautiful gift after another chip in to support relative to fraternal peoples.
To the Jiu Tiandong Zhangjiajie in Hunan last year, getting the chao was returning home from the photo-sharing, where it is sent immediately after finishing the film all the way will be sent to the scenic trot washed plastic door, visitors can be photographed when leaving Jiuxiang. In addition, the sign hung on the caverns here and tell you how much exposure the shutter here, how much, compared to other all day to scare you use your camera does not shoot anything out of caves, Jiu Xiang feeling much better.
Cave where there is a more attractive underground waterfall, a cold shiver all Susu uplink corridor, as well as a "Kanda." The so-called Kanda, in fact, a carbonate platform, looks like a natural terrace. This landscape we have always a total of four: Jiu Xiang's immortal Kanda (cave in), under the Yulong Snow Mountain baishuihe (riverbed), under the baishuitai Haba Snow Mountain (the birthplace of Dongba civilization) and the Sichuan Huanglong, after the slow Slow mention.
Out of their seats after the ropeway back to cave door. This section has quite long, it is estimated that there is a straight-line distance of one kilometer, the way you can see 15,000 years ago unearthed in ancient human stone tools of the mouth hole,
5:30 left the Jiu Xiang, about 20 o'clock arrived in Kunming. Immediately rushed to the non-stop bus stop, jump on the sleeper night train to Lijiang, be considered a sigh of relief and began to eat solid food, and then everyone sequential sleep.
