China Trip: Kun ming Cherry Blossom

There were five of us, did our own study on the place we were going to visit. Yes, we want to see the snow mountain, we want to see the cherry blossom, we want to visit Shangrila! So we headed to Yunnan! We started with booking flight tickets, planned out our own intinerary, prepare own passport and china visa, do some online booking for accomodation, THAT's IT. We started our journey!

During the 11-day trip, we traveled to alot of places, and here it goes:

Penang- Kun Ming (Flight)
Kun Ming- Li Jiang (Flight)
Li Jiang- Shang-ri-la (Bus)
Shang-ri-la- Li Jiang (Bus)
Li Jiang- Dali (Train)
Dali- Kun Ming (Bus)
And finally from Kun Ming back to Penang by Flight.

We enjoyed our pleasant flight with Thai Airlines, and we were treated well with the nice and clean food.

But it was a bit scary when firstly reached Kun Ming Airport. I still remember that there were a few ladies who approached us, offering to bring us to our destination, by offering cheaper price. But we were not sure if we can reach our destination if we follow them. We wouldn't know if they were to bring us to places we didn't know!(As there were five of us, we have to be seperated into two taxi, and we might get lost). Eventually we managed to take taxi seperately and reached our hotel.

We headed to the first destination: 圆通动物园 for the 樱花节 Cherry Blossom festival
We asked around for direction, we tried to took taxi but rejected because of the terrific traffic jam in the town, we then walked by ourselves and it took nearly 1 hour to reach the destination.
We were not disappointed, as there were really alot of blooming cherry blossom.









But it was really a tiring night for us, after having good exercise in our cherry-blossom-hunting.
