Yunnan Trip (Part One)

I'm back. College life ended in the month of June and now having 3 months holidays. I'm starting my university life soon in the month of September. Time waits for no man. :/

For the last Hari Raya school holidays, I visited Yunnan in China. It was suggested by my dad back in the month of June. In a gist, our trip was a 8-day trip that began in Kunming. Mom and I researched further on the route we were taking after the flights were booked.

Our flight to Kunming began in Malaysia with AirAsia at around 1.50pm. It was a 4-hour flight and luckily AirAsia took off the flight on time. At around 5.00pm, we reached Kunming Changshui International Airport and we were kinda rushing because we need to go to the Kunming Railway Station to print out our night train ticket to Lijiang.

I was feeling quite unpleasant when I reached Kunming, the environment was so dusty and the people just spitted out on the floor although I had seen them spitting out in my previous trip to Nanjing. And one thing is that most of them smoked all the time and just simply threw the cigarettes on the floor as well instead of throwing into the bins provided.

After we printed out our night train ticket, we headed to a place to leave our luggage with RMB5 for each luggage we left there. Went to KangShiFu for dinner as we didn't want to go so far for our dinner because we afraid that we might not catch the train on time.

We could have taken an hour flight to Lijiang from Kunming, but mom decided to be more adventurous and take the train instead to have the experience of night train which we couldn't have it back in Malaysia. The first time to board on sleeper night train, the first time brushing teeth and washing face with strangers together. The 9-hour night train was comfortable even though there were some times the train was a little bit shaky. But still, we slept all the way from Kunming to Lijiang. We reached Lijiang the next morning.
