Lijiang Shangrila

 Went to buy the oxygen kit and the medicine for high altitude. 


The golden packaging to be consumed now and blue packaging tonight. The green one for tomorrow.  Very bitter.



Took a photo with our guide cum driver Ah Jia 阿甲




Awesome river at the tiger leap Gorge. Learned so much from the in-house guide who came with the escalator ride. He told us not to take pictures when we go down as the money will flow out. So we took pictures when we are going back to the top. The river is between the two holy mountains, Yilong Xue Shan of the Naxi in Lijiang and Haba snow mountain of the Tobetians. The tea traders used to wait till the river water is low in Nov then use a bridge to cross over for the tea trade route.



















Our first Tibetan meal yak meat hot pot with vegetables with rice. Don't think I like Tibetan food. The yak meat and soup tasted too much like mutton which I don't like. The rice with wild mushrooms too sticky though hubby love it a lot. Luckily we ordered fried cabbage with mushroom which is very nice.







Interesting stuff they soak in the wine.
