To The Heavenly Mountains & Waters

  long bus ride  
  with loads of fruits and drinks to keep us occupied, the long 12-hours overland ride from Kunming to the northwestern frontier of Yunnan was made more bearable  
  
  
  handmade highway  
  much of the highway linking Kunming and Dali was still underconstruction; what amazed me most was that such major construction projects in China were still by large built by manual labour, with almost nonexistent modern construction machines to be seen anywhere  
  
  
   
  dali  
  at Dali is where the famous scenic wonder of Yunnan begins... set with a stunning mountainous backdrop, with the seventh largest lake in China to its north
