This was one of the most photogenic days of this holiday. If you really want to luxuriate in this day, it is worth looking at the first 70+ photos in the second Flickr album for this trip:
Again quite early start including check out (8:30).
South to Weishan – brand new road means this is only just over an hour from Dali.
Lovely well preserved old market town (really just the main strip preserved) – rarely visited by tourists, although the new road might well change all that. We were more watched than watching!
Back to Dali for light lunch at Kaiyi’s Kitchen (still great veg, sticky chicken and sweet) then on north to Shaxi – long drive.
Daisy took snaps of Sha Ping from a distance and zillions of snaps along the way. Ged slept mostly.
Time for an early evening stroll around this charming little town. We are staying in a guesthouse which is one of the old wooden courtyard houses on the main square – charming.
We shower and take a simple meal with pumpkin soup and Taiwan/Fujian style noodles and veg and local wine.
Then to bed with Sweet Tooth cookies!
