Day 33 :: Yunnan Province



Day 33 - Lijiang
-----

Note: Apparently, the rat medicine worked wonders on Kari's foot. By the time we started our hike, it was strong enough to walk on.

We've spent the last ten days drifting around SW China in the Yunnan Province, which ended with a three day hike in the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Breathtaking is really the only way to describe it. It's the largest Gorge in the world and is surrounded by 18,000 foot peaks. The 36 kilometer trek was simply unbelievable. At night, we stayed in little farm guesthouses with outdoor toilets that faced the Gorge. It was the most beautiful view I've ever had while taking a shit. We ended up hiking with six others and had a blast walking together, eating home cooked meals and drinking Chinese beer. In the end, the Tiger Leaping Gorge was the most beautiful place we've ever been in the world.
