China - Yunan Trip Part 6

Day 6
Today is a really tiring day for all of us.
Its a 7 hour bus ride to 泸沽湖 aka 女儿国.
All the roads look like these.........

Shocking right??
And im telling the truth. That is the kind of road that we travelled on during these 7 hours.
Its really a long and windy road.
The twist and turns are very scary and dangerous also.
Imagine travelling on these kinda road for 7 hours. I can die.

Thats why i am so happy today when i receive sms from Mango and Reiko today.
They decided to try sending out messages to me to see if i can receive their message. N i did. So happy.

Halfway down the road. We stopped to take pictures of these beautiful scenes.





After the 7 hours of long and winding ride, we reached out 1st destination in 女儿国.
We are supposed to go to an island on boat.
So cool right!!!

And these boats are rowed by man. Like this.....

This guy that rowed our boats look very young lor. Like our age like that.
Think thats their way of lifestyle ba. Rowing a boat with about 10 people on it by himself for about 30 minutes is really not a thing that anyone can do.

And the water is so damn clear.



I have never seen any waters so clear before. Its really beautiful!!!

After 30 minutes we finally reached the island and we went sightseeing on the island.
More Photo Taking.....





After that, we rowed back again. To check in our hotel.
女儿国大酒店.

I must say. This hotel is really lousy.
The service is really bad. Half of the time, no one is even at the counter. Plus the food is terrible also. Then when we were resting, the hotel suddenly black out!!!

I guess though 女儿国 is a beautiful country but if u want me to stay here longer, i would have gone crazy.

After settling down, the tour guide bring us to a traditional household to understand their way of lifestyle.


Their marriage system is very complicated one. Their marriage is no need to register by law like one. Its so complicated that i shan't talk about it here. But i guess even some Westerners who come here will also be really shocked by their system.

Then we went to watch this really boring show. Haha. Music and dance that kind.
So boring. Then very jialat one lor, halfway through the show, suddenly black out. Wah. First time i see shows like that one lor. Haha.

But luckily got this cute little young boy who sat beside me. His brother was performing. Throughout the whole show, i just talk to him lor. Haha. So fun.
And he literally knows all the dance step lor. And even noes what happens next.
I am also touched by his aspiration also. He says he wants to earn lots of money so that his family members will have a good life.
I asked him if i can take a photo of him. He agreed and even do pose for me lor. Haha.

Because the place so dark. Thats why cannot take a gd picture. Pity. But he is really cute. If not for him, i would have fallen asleep during the performance. Haha.

Well, thats all for today!!!!
