I'm glad you've been finding good food to eat. I think you made a good choice going with the skewered meat and the dumplings because some of the corn looked a little suspect...<br /><br />TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109784285766388854.post-77748493154186079872010-04-08T12:15:15.025-07:002010-04-08T12:15:15.025-07:00Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm - dumplings! :)Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm - dumplings! :)Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139111227783555203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109784285766388854.post-68728512025919418042010-04-08T01:52:16.730-07:002010-04-08T01:52:16.730-07:00Oh, I love the red pandas!

I would imagine that you would like the hike down the Gorge. It's probably very different now that the water level has risen. Looking forward to seeing your pictures :-)Philnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109784285766388854.post-10364609383486548522010-04-07T13:05:47.329-07:002010-04-07T13:05:47.329-07:00Translation of the ad: the bottle water said "...Translation of the ad: the bottle water said "Farmer's Spring Water", the sentence said "treasure every drop & be the mover of the nature", the can said "King of Herbs Tea" (a very popular drink among the Chinese, sweeten herbal tea, but I drank it bitter when I was little) It is safe to drink it. Funny they used the Canadian Rockies as a background. In Lijiang, there will be a whole different world of China. Try to find a Tibetan restaurant in the old town where you will meet some very interesting people and get some very updated traveling information in that area. Much to see and do around Lijiang. I rented a bike to go further out of the town into the villages. Don't miss the journey up north into the Tibetan plateau. You might find your Shangri-La in the book of "Lost Horizon" by James Hilton. Good luck and can't wait to read the next story.<br /><br />LipingAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109784285766388854.post-38841342211616779172010-04-07T12:17:17.518-07:002010-04-07T12:17:17.518-07:00Glad you had a chance to see the Pandas...couldn&#...Glad you had a chance to see the Pandas...couldn't imagine a trip to China without seeing them.<br /><br />Love the pic of the one napping in the tree, if only I could sleep that well!<br /><br />KevinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
