The first shot looks like a picture perfect postcard! My favorite is the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain! Did you try the deep fried bugs? I think I would eat that over the Durian! LOL! -MW

Bugs are the only ...

Yunnan has to be one of my favorites in China. So diverse. That Zhang Imou show was pretty fun with the little horses. I got the DVD and CD after the show as the music is quite good. Great pictures Sir. Dean

Pass that stage already

What a unique place! Thanks for showing us this place where they eat fried bugs. I'd eat the durian before I ate the fried bugs.

what was the average temp? another on the bucket list

When I was there

 
 By: cen@jkt : January 6th, 2014-16:41
There was a cold front across China. Yunnan province is famous for eternal spring, not so hot in the summer, not so cold in the winter. That's a long answer to answer your question, the short answer is I don't know the average temperature :) cen@jkt

Blizzard to Lijiang pics is impressive!
