kunming. yunnan. china. december 19th - 21st.

returning to kunming. a bit of a welcome moment, having finally left dali, but also overwhelming, the big city again after 3 weeks away from one! we return to cloudland though, and spend our two days relaxing, eating far too many meals in the convenient and super friendly guesthouse restaurant, catching up and planning the next part of our travels. a visit to another guesthouse, we bump in to aviv briefly, a fellow traveler we met in chengdu. other than that, we do nothing except get supplies for our next bus ride, hang out in cloudland, and plan our travels to yuangyang rice terraces, something that proves a bit challenging! (no one can clearly tell us how to get there, the info in our guide and online is vague at best). we'll see what ensues, round two at the kunming bus station, and our attempt to reach the city of xin jie!
