Lijian and the Naxi's In Lijiang was crowded and lively as the National Day was approaching. Everywhere small stages and plants have been established. So we started out from the city to a small Buddhist monastery. The tour went to the taxi ride high on a hill, no one was prepared for the (light shoes, ect). Above the red and gold with colorful flags monastery entrance was in a clearing. At the entrance sat a elderly man with modest clothing (no plan, whether that was a Mönsch) and a little boy in red robes. We were allowed through, and should we buy for 20 yuan a nose first 2 giant incense sticks. The courtyard was covered well and cared for and the transition to a bed, where we lit a campfire was our incense, just as one imagines a monastery. In the dormitory many pictures hanging on the nature and Buddha and an elderly man was sitting by the fire. A conversation wiedermal was not due to lack of knowledge of Chinese language possible so that we could say gerademal where we come from - de guo. went after our short stay in the little cabin We return to the front yard to set up the rods and then enter into the sanctuary - but only for a small donation ... The room was beautifully decorated with paintings, lamps, statues, and at the end of a sitting Buddha on a pedestal. We all got a good luck charm chain and should then also leave. I thought it was unfortunately more of a flop, even if you can say: "People, I was in a real Buddha temple Mönsch with a small Kung-Fu"
Back to Lijiang we went with a local minivan, similar to a military vehicle: open back with four seats and closed in front with four-five seats. Again, a conversation with the farmer's wife would certainly be helpful and nice been when the 20 minutes just to make their own nonsense. In Lijiang then made some errands for our trip to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. migrate
two days Even though I am the hikingfan not so, I knew before the holiday, we also walk out gehen.Früh morning to get the Suburban to Qiaotou, there were on the bus only other 2 places. To this end, we took then a black mini-bus which was pretty close, but had a nice driver. He was once the highest point, to show us the view. Once in Qiaotou we had with luggage (10 kilos) some hiking. Since we were a large group so was the Way but not so bad and the better the view, the further you came up. After 2 hours of rapid rise with 2 short breaks for the photo album, we came to the family "Nice" on. They even have so called, although they were pure Naxi's. When the family had a restaurant, where service was still a huge priority. We arrived and immediately a table was brought for us and gabs cold drinks. After the family heard that we spend with them the night and eat dinner, we were unpacking in our view super snacks. After a long break we took many things in the room and climbed the rest of the mountain. For this purpose we have taken a Scherp and a mule, but this was no longer so fit as we needed a break and sometimes more. Above we had a great view of the gorge of the Yang Tze - horny. It was almost rewarded for walking.
went down there a lot faster. Since the sashes showed how to do it and also Haudi-Julius Muli made on the steam. In the Naxi hut we ate dinner and drank a little above the average. The next morning we were
away the breakfast in order to reduce stomach upset. However, we are not eliminated, that grew on the patio gems of considerable size. After a short, intense gesticulation we even got directly a supermarket bag with about 20g content and a whistle - the morning was rescued. We stayed so even a little, drank a Coke and enjoy the fabulous view. The descent was much easier than the climb and at the foot of the mountain we met by chance on a large-capacity black taxi that all of us for 20 yuan per person brought back to Lijiang.
arrived in the "hotel" we quick shower and then eat something. The small beer high in the old town was later with a search bar consequences. De guo Ren's Chinese were invited for a beer .... and so late into the night.
Back to Kunming Our last day starts with the fact that our breakfasts are not wanted. We waited in the bar / restaurant on the 45 minutes until we just left, and then quickly have breakfast at KFC. Then we took the taxi to the Black Dragon Pool Park A park to relax and then a march to the hill, from which one could Lijian completely overlook - also great. On the one hand, the old town and on the other hand, a new typical Chinese city. After a small beer back down in the park we went back on foot in the city to organize for our last shopping Sleeperbus.
The Sleeper was even worse than on the outward journey. We had the back up the lawn for 5 people, far too closely! From the 8-hour drive (20-4 Clock), one could then sleep maybe 2 hours ... well, by 4 we did stress, because we did not stay until the next morning in Sleeper. We have to find a 24 hour snack in Kunming, who gave us beer and spring rolls that we were able to easily spend 2 hours until we could into the dormitory of the "Kunming University of Science and Technology" and fell into bed.

Our trip to the South Part 1 excuse me I have that I'm using hang back as far as the blog, but I have today written exam and had to give much homework. Therefore, now come here much, but I'll send you it in small parts that you may not survive and I will not lose too much time.
outward journey / flight to Kunming (Date: Thursday, 27 September)
After the Germany game and followed Flat to 6 party clock in the morning, it left the next morning after the lecture directly to the airport. We did not at first which of the two airports in Beijing was the right thing, but we are simply driven to greater and it has everything works great. Even the three and a half-hour flight to Kunming was without any real problems until my cycle, which was burdened by strenuous day before, a lot. Fortunately, But I have arrived safely and after dinner in a nice Chinese restaurant in Kunming, I felt even check up. We are locals, and Bao Wei Co. (friends of Damian) met at the airport and they then have dinner with us tonight. Bao Wei - a small, Chinese student - was very friendly, helpful and very useful as our voice to the Chinese because they could speak English really well. After dinner we went to a bar that played a lot of loud music. There we were directly 3 bottles of vodka served and Bao Wei showed us a new, Chinese drinking game. After 2-3 hours then drove our new friends we have the hotel, where Wei Bao cleared us for everything again and we speak the Instuktionen for the next day - pick up 11 clock.
But it was not bedtime ... after a quick shower and new clothes, it was fixed back in the disco mile (Damian was already last year in Kunming, and knew his prima). The first club, we are simply in quickly because it was raining in torrents, and ran all the time House and Techno (but really bad). However, we could not leave because we had a bottle right back on the table that had to be empty. Moved on - it was now later - we ran into the shop, in which at least good music. The problem was that the place was almost empty. Not so bad, first 12 pijiu (beer) and we had 6 boys - Damian (as Ming), Niels (luo ming), Juliuns (ju li peng), Christian (wu si kai), Christoph (shi duo fu) and luo li on - enough fun. We have entertained the staff and they even danced with us. Back at the hotel were a few of us on the wonderful idea to still go to Mc's. Of course there were none Mc's because where we were, but the little lady from the reception has gone with us to fast-food-China-mile (2 blocks away). The road was really dirty and the Esssachen, including frogs, maggots, ect., Looked right out funny, so I ate only a bite to eat rice with sugar, but since ming and Julius have added to correct. Funny was that the receptionist gave us watched while eating and did to us pulling your leg. Then there was also bedtime.
trip to Lijiang
morning again to get out early, because we see what they wanted, first we had breakfast delicious rice noodles in fat broth. At the bus station for long distance trips - has again we went there and Bao Wei Co. there - it was in a dinky Sleeper with about 30 beds (all pretty close). The Sleeper itself was not a big hit, but the ride went through intoxicating areas. Starting in sun, rain, fog, sun, past the Chinese mini-sites, through villages and towns, through mountains, tunnels, bridges and some Rice and corn farmers over. Eckel, the bus was still, every time someone went to the bathroom, the whole bus übelst stank of piss and farted good to the Chinese bus. The air conditioning is thanks. We arrived
were well received and picked up after we first had to find the place by taxi. Lijiang is a small village in the mountains and through the orange-yellow lights of the old town, it looked a bit like this as a ski area. The town center - the old town - is a pleasant car-free zone and tough anywhere, small and large businesses and more hotels or apartments. Most houses are not larger than 3 floors. The "hotel" (if one can call it that) is located behind the entrance to the old town. It is very comfortable with a great view from our sauna-like room. Evening we were all a bit tired and we have achieved a Kniffelbier.
photos come and the next day and within a week.
