Dali

The 26th of May we arrived to Dali, an old town at the bottom of some high mountains, the same morning we arrived we wanted to take a nice morning walk and we ended up at the top of one hill, after going up stairs for 2 hours, it was a pretty bad experience but once we were up there everything was worth it, the view was spectacular, we took a carcable to go back. That afternoon we decided to go by bus to Lijiang 5 hours away where we wanted to go trekking but because we didn't have so much time we couldn't do it. Instead we were in an amazing park where we took some of the most beautiful pictures so far. This night we took a bus back to Kunming, 10 hours, to take a train to our next stop, Guilin.

El dia 26 de Mayo llegamos a Dali, un viejo pueblo en la falda de unas montanias bastante altas, esa misma maniana decidimos ir a dar un paseo matutino y terminamos subiendo escaleras durante dos horas hasta lo alto de una colina, fue bastante sufrido pero una vez llegamos arriba todo parecio merecia la pena, bajamos en teleferico. Esa misma tarde decidimos ir en autobus a Lijiang a 5 horas de alli donde queriamos ir a hacer un sendero muy famoso, El valle del salto del tigre, pero por falta de tiempo no pudimos hacerlo. En vez de esto fuimos a un parque donde sacamos una de las fotos mas bonitas del viaje. Esa misma noche cogimos un autobus de vuelta a Kunming, 10 horas, para coger un tren a nuestro proximo destino, Guilin.
