Yunnan archive: Kunming flower market, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Shangri-La, Potatso Park, and Lijiang. Travel stories from southwest China.
As of May 2025, I’ve been to 33 world heritage sites. However, I lost my Ha Long Bay photos that I took on 2007-10-22, because of the shutdown of WebShots :(. Ha Long Bay-Cat Ba Archipelago (672, natural, 1994), Quang Ninh and Hai Phong, Vietnam Hoi An Ancient Town (948, cultural,1999), Quang Nam, Vietnam Angkor […]
🍃🌍🙏 གནམ་སར་གནས་ལུགས་དྲང་བས། བསམ་བཟང་བདེན་དོན་ཆེད་འཚོ། // In the realm of heaven and earth, we are born to embrace goodness. // 天地有道，向善而生。 Tiān dì yǒu dào, xiàng shàn ér shēng. // Thiên địa hữu đạo, hướng thiện nhi sinh. P.s.: Picture taken in Shangri-La, Dêqên Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China in 2023.
💌😔❤️ When you receive this letter, I’m still wandering, The promises we made that year are still in my heart. // 当你收到信 我还在流浪 那年的约定 都放在心上。 Dāng nǐ shōu dào xìn wǒ hái zài liúlàng Nà nián de yuēdìng dōu fàng zàixīn shàng. // Đương nhĩ thu đáo tín ngã hoàn tại lưu lãng Na niên […]
🌨️🎄❄️ When you’re still waiting for the snow to fall, it doesn’t really feel like Christmas at all. // 当你还在等候下雪 一点都感受不到圣诞的气氛。 Dāng nǐ hái zài děnghòu xià xuě yīdiǎn dōu gǎnshòu bù dào shèngdàn de qìfēn. // Đương nhĩ hoàn tại đẳng hậu hạ tuyết nhất điểm đô cảm thụ bất đáo thánh đản đích […]
🌧️💔🚶♀️ June rain falls outside My heart bleeds inside Amidst the ruins of pain A longing to unite remains Yet, love often subsides // 六月雨纷纷 心内血淋淋 痛苦的废墟中 想在一起到别离 但是爱情在哪里 Liù yuè yǔ fēnfēn Xīn nèi xiě línlín Tòngkǔ de fèixū zhōng Xiǎng zài yīqǐ dào biélí Dànshì àiqíng zài nǎlǐ // Lục nguyệt vũ phân […]
This morning, I took a short troll to the Kunming’s Dounan Flower Market before going to the Kunming Changshui International Airport to take the flight back home. When I got back home, I lost about 1 kg. I thought the food was quite okay, but maybe I didn’t eat enough. In general, cities and towns […]
This was the first time I sat on a speed train in China. It wasn’t as speedy as I thought. The fastest speed I saw on the train was 198 km/h while I heard that it could be 250 km/h. Around noon, I reached Kunming South Station. Then I went to the Kunming West Hill […]
This morning, I went to visit the Potatso National Park in Shangri-La. The transfer bus to the inside of the park was the longest I’ve ever sit. The surrounding somehow reminded me of the Flower Lake (Hua Hu) in Ruoergai (Zoigê) which I visited in 2019. The elevation of this place was also the same, […]
This morning, I went to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Though the water was not as high, the gorge was worth looking. It was another sunny day in Yunnan, but as I went higher, the weather was cooler to my liking. In the afternoon, I reached Shangri-La (Zhongdian) in Yunnan. The so-called little Potala was a […]
