We did another Chinese tour group in order to get to Shilin. On the way we saw things that got Dwang and I excited. For example, the first picture shows a train running the middle of the mountain. Then dwang saw this power plant/nuclear plant. yay civil and chemi engineering.
The trees looks so different alongside the road. Hedwig also came along for the ride and shannon is totally judging.
Little chopstick woman just wants to say hi while on the bus ride.
Stone Forest. This place was really gorgeous and it is crazy how the rocks have formed and are so tall.
There was one rock that I had fun climbing.
The area of the park that we went to was so busy! It had some beautiful views and sites but all the tour buses went to these locations so it was so packed. It reminded me that china really is a bustling place with lots of people.
Even though there were lots of people...I was still able to get some pictures that did not have a lot of people (yay for veering off the path...and just a reminder ..i did not take all these pictures....my friends and i have been sharing pictures throughout the trip)
Shannon and I at a viewpoint looking over the Stone Forest. The crowd of people trying to get down from the view point. Crazy mob.
One last view of the stone forest. Back on the bus we took pictures of how the high altitude can really change size of the bag. We wanted to see if we kept climbing to higher and higher altitude if the bag of onion rings would eventually explode...unfortunately our stomachs got to us so we ate the bag of chips before we could find out if the bag would explode later in the trip.
Back in kunming we checked out the fruit to see what we wanted to try. dwang got excited because the sign in yellow with red characters is her name. She never sees her name on a sign.
Anne and Dwang reading a menu to try to decide where and what we want to eat before getting on the train.
