Shangrila-Kunming-Jiuxiang, China, 26/12/2006



RING.....Phone ring again....Wake up call...it's time to wake up and go to the airport again...aiyoh we didn't even get to see daylight in Shangrila....by the time we reach Shangrila it's already dark then before sunrise, we have to go to airport liao....we will be flying to Kunming from Shangrila....

Oh...come to think of it, we did see daylight in Shangrila...ya from the airport...cos we were stuck there for 2 hours.....our flight delayed for 2 hrs due to bad weather in Kunming...again bad weather in Kunming....sianz ah....we were stuck in the airport, so cold, so bored...how we wish that we can go out and kai kai....end up we did our shopping at the airport lor...I bought 2 earrings at good reasonable price, all thanks to Alice (Francis's wife)...she is GOOD in bargaining price...

Finally our flight took off...Kunming... we are back....remember the first day I reach Kunming, I lost my luggage....yeah my luggage finally arrived at Kunming airport....JW will be getting his clothes liao....

Due to the delay, we have to rush all our itinerary....we had lunch and somehow the lunch was fantastically delicious...probably after eating lousy food in Shangrila...I think I ate about 1.5 bowls of rice....

After lunch we took quite a long drive to Stone Forest. Stone Forest is a massive collection of gray limestone pillars, spilt by rainwater and eroded to their present fanciful forms. We took many beautiful photos there...

We then proceed to Jiuxiang caves...wow...amazing cave...our "Ah Shi Ma" told us that Jackie Chan filmed the movie " The Myth" in this cave...too bad we can't take too many pictures there cos it's very dark, even with lighting doesn't help much....we took a long walk to finished all 3 caves.

We still have to take quite a long drive to the hotel and have our dinner there....we had the famous Kunming Cross-bridge noodle, Yiliang Roast Duck...The hotel is located at quite an "ulu" place, no shopping at night....sianz...some of them went for hairwash, some called for massage...i called for massage but they were late, so I decided not to take up the massage and go to bed and sleep....better catch my beauty sleep cos I'm lacking of it during this trip...
