This is the place where two dozens of ethnical minorities, each with its own culture, history and language live together. This is the place where the Yangzi river passes through the gorge so narrow, that a tiger can jump from one edge to another (or so the legend says). This is the place where you have to wait for the huge yak to move out of the path - or try to move him yourself and where a bed in a room with a view onto a 5000m mountains cost 1,5 euro (toilets share the view). This is the place where a waterfall crossing the only road turns it into a pile of debris and no one seems to care. This is the place where the term "luxury bus" means "you'll be able to open the window so it's not so hot inside and we will stop every half an hour to cool the breaks with a waterhose".
This is the place, where some of the world's finest tea comes from. Welcome to Yunnan.
It's hot and humid here, even 2500m a.s.l. The Buddhist temples here are Tibetan style and very impressive. So is the landscape. The people here are as diverse as possible and the mountains rise 3000m straight up.
Summary? I don't care that I've left my towel somewhere and thus have to use a blanket borrowed from Aeroflot for drying. It does good enough job.
