The first day we started out following a small dusty mountain road and I think all the food and relaxation we had in Jinghong made us super heavy. So when we decided to have a lunch brake after about 40 km we were too lazy to continue. So the lunch spot turned into a camp spot.
The following many days we camped around while during the days we saw more and more long hills and random medium sized Chinese cities. I must say I really really enjoy those cities. They have nothing special to offer for tourists but they are a great insight to Chinese everyday life. And in this region of very diverse cultures it's super interesting to see how little things change from town to town. That's especially true with food and tribes people. Every town has a slight change to which tribe is dominant in the area and which food they seem to prefer...
After about 8-9 days we made it to the wonderful little city Dali at around 1900 meters above sea level.
