I came back to Beijing some days ago~~Still feel lazy and tired hehe
OK...so me and my friends went to several places in CHina suring the past month after the World Cup was over*
First we went to ShanXi province(it's in North of China and by the Yellow River, rich in Coal Mines) .
We visited several old temples and stayed 2 days in the ancient city of PingYao. Then we 've been to the YunGang Caves to see those beautiful Buddishm rock statues^_^
And then the next two weeks, we are in the beautiful Yunnan

one of the most beautiful province in CHina, beside TIBET
And the province with the most ethnic groups*---26 out of 55 of China.

Our route was like KunMing-DaLi-LiJiang-ZhongDian(now its name is Shangri-la

)
I enjoyed the nice weather there, and of course the food. The Rice noodles

...
the best part was SHangri-la

We stayed like 5 days in a Local Tibetan's Home.

They were all sooo nice and warm-hearted.Their home-made food was Fabulous too. And the price is really cheap, 10 yuan(1 euro) for one night per person!!!

And one of their relatives is a Living Budda of Local Area!!! hohoho!!
The Family get up at about 4 in the morning

and start to feed the pigs, let the cows go out walking around on the endless grassland. And prepare food for us

I enjoyed the Tibetan Wine , made of QingKe---Highland Barley, Tibetan people's main food, like wheat and rice to us.
But we had to come back earlier than expected cus we didn't get a chance to go to MeiLi Snow mountain, which is the Top Mountain in Tibetan Buddishm*****

Because we were all kind of sick from the High Altitude...thought it's just around 3700 meters.
ANd the weather has been ..not very nice, raining all day long...we can't see anything on the mountains...and the car was always having problems....
Anyway, it was very nice in Yunnan

and then we went to a city near Beijing, used to be Emperor's secret Garden
Get a Lonely PLanet and off you go!! to Yunnan, especially Shangri-la!!
now I have to go prepare my stuff again...for school

I will submit some photos if I can find some nice one from my messy camera....

And I'll check messages and the deviations soon^_^
Hope everyone had a Superb SUmmer
