Because my China Eastern Airlines e-card was about to expire, I chose a flight from Shanghai to Kunming.
I've always loved group tours; they're hassle-free and I can travel with different friends.
This trip was no exception:
Family #1: A cheerful young couple from Shanghai (one chubby, one thin)
Family #2: A family of four from three generations in Hangzhou who had just finished their college entrance exams and were traveling all over the country
Family #3: A loving young couple from Shanghai dressed in blue
And our family #4: My best friend's family
The chubby girl and tour guide were both strong and enthusiastic, and reminded me of a former colleague from western Fujian.
Zhishilamu Zhuoma was a kind and gentle older sister who was prone to altitude sickness.
And the driver, who always arrived at the stops before the other groups, quietly made the journey.
These travel companions, along with the breathtaking scenery and the blazing sun,
remain in my beautiful memories of Yunnan.
I also hope that my friend will be happy after this trip and find a good job soon.

It was alright. The hotel room was small, but it was very close to the train station. The receptionist was quite welcoming.

Wednesday special offer! The Haiyi Hotel has a fantastic location, right next to Jiefangbei, and only a 15-minute walk to Hongyadong. I initially had to transfer many times; Chongqing's bus routes are often one-way, so the return trips are often not the same. Sometimes walking is faster than taking a bus. However, Chongqing isn't really a very touristy place. There are almost no classic attractions; it's just suitable for casual sightseeing. That's just my personal opinion; Chongqing locals, please don't take offense.
