Day 7 (26th May)
Wake up at 6am!!! As we are going off to see sunrise at 6.30am! We were slightly late as I think there is abit of mis-communication.

While we were on the boat, we already saw many people standing at the hill top waiting!

Im amaze that we are all able to make our way up the hill, is quite steep...and all that we can grab on are bushes! But it is fun...haha...running up hill. Racing with the sun rise.

Yeah, get to see sunrise...some of them left as they thought we won't get to see. Luckily we stayed and saw it! It is rather cloudy thus we were very luck to be able to see it.

See how clear the water is!

The 4 Kun Ming girls + us

Breakfast time!
We are having their traditional breakfast: Porridge + pan cake alike thingy (cao mai bin) + yak butter tea (tibetan butter tea) + highland barley (qing ke)

See that pot of powder on the right picture? I thought it was an incense burner when I came in...it really does look like the one used for praying. But this is edible! I tried it....erm...is powdery taste ^^ ahhaa.. U need technique to eat this, must be fast and swift if not you will have qing ke all over your body!

The yak butter tea is like salty milk tea...so abit not used to it. I heard that in town they have a sweet version that we are more used to it, but it would be like drinking normal milk tea.

As we were chatting, we realise they did the same horse riding + boat rowing at Li Jiang at only 100 RMB each! We paid 250 RMB each ...omg look at the difference!!! But then ok lah, I still enjoyed my horse ride alot :)

After that we decided to walk to Shui Li, another village...we were told it wasn't too far...but ... but... to and fro took the whole day! Set off at 10am we came back at around 3-4pm!

See ... treaking here is like taking obstacle course, dangerous but fun!

This is the couple trees (fu qi shu). See there are 2 couples by the lake!

Felt hungry on the way, Mancila and I were not well prepared so we didn't have much to eat, luckily the Kun Ming girls were well prepared and shared some of their food with us.

Came acrosss this, see...instead of cable car they are taking this mini car thingy uphill! Going up to mountain!!! (Actually I think this is only to mid hill, there should be cable car bringing them to peak of the mountain).

Reached Shui Li. Along the way was nice scenary. I think we walked about 20 KM!!!

Then we saw some of the local kids playing in water naked^^| and some of the local woman doing their work on the lake.

They also have argiculture here. At Shui Li we met a lady who brought his son here for a month already! She is almost like the local here already, asking us to go her house for a cup of tea.

When we are there, we saw many villagers queueing to be examined by a doctor. After asking, we realised we came to the head's house and he hired a doctor from the town to come all the way here to diagnose the villagers and especially his father.

They are very polite to the doctor and you can see from their actions their respect for him. They also asked us to join in for lunch, but we were too shy so we replied that we are not hungry ^^| (was very hungry but too many of us...6....haha)

After that we walked all the way back again. The 4 kun ming girls were very advanturous...I believed we wouldn't walk all these mountain track ... without them. Anytime you will slip and roll down! On the way back we even took a wrong path and walked a very steep way down hill. Steep slope and ground full of stones that is so rocky and slippery to walk. But luckily we were all wearing long sleeves and jeans, prevented us from getting scratched by branches and we reached our destination safetly^^| When we were coming down, actually there were villagers shouting to us from bottom that we came down by the wrong route...but we thought they were chatting with each other across the farm! LOL

Cactus on the way! Kind of weird isn't it...we also saw a fruit tree but unsure whats on it...they say is apple...but it is so small! This doggie followed us for quite a long distance...about one third of our way back! Wonder if he knows how to go back.

Ops, this photo is not so well taken. We went for a tribal dance night. You can chose to wear their tribal clothes and then they will dance with you in circle. After that we also "dui ge" (remember the part in Li Jiang...alot of tribal girls will dui ge with tourist?) We sang alot...very random...most popular one I think is the song by Ah Niu, Dui Mian De Nuu Hai Kan Guo Lai.
