1st day
I waked up only two hours before the plane taking off and the luggage
were still not completely packed. I washed and ate something as soon
as possible, took the camera set and luggage I can remembered and
hurried downstairs to catch a cab. So, the trip is started. I am sure
there is something missed (the chewing gum only, so lucky), but
didnt know what is it. Ok, I am sure I have already taken all the
important thing-money, camera, plane tickets, ID card, mobile phone
and a happy heart.
The plane sliding in the lane, I had a deep breath. At last, the trip
is really started and I can have a short escape from the dirty, messy,
gray sky Guangzhou and boring work.
Kunming's weather is not what we expected; the temperature is about
20 degree. I have no idea about the trip line before the plane landed
but as I assumed there are tour guides showing the information of
their tour agencies and I can got one very conveniently. To be more
safe, after I and Crystal deposited our large luggage we went to books
hop to buy one tour guide book and enquire more information about the
trip. Because Kunming is the last important city in the plan, I want
to go to the more wonderful city—Dali immediately and visit
Kunming's resorts when we back from Lijiang. Time in Kunming is
limited because we have already bought the night bus tickets to
Dali (I prefer self-service travelling, so under most condition I'd
like to buy tickets myself but not give money to an agency to let
them set all our schedule), so visiting Kunming Zoo and eating the
famous local food—guoqiaomixian is the only task of the afternoon.
As reading on newspaper, all the taxis in Kunming have posters with
an animal and a number stuck in and out for to be easily identified.
That the Kunming Zoo and the best restaurant offering guoqiaomixian
are at the same location made us save time and money.
The people from Guangdong never feel satisfied with the service in
other provinces. The restaurant was closed when we went there, but
it is 2pm, crazy. We have to try the local food at a small eating
house near it. The zoo is relatively small than I imaged and there
are not many tropical animals in it. Because the weather was cold, most
animals were hiding in their rooms or in a very slow reacting
condition.
After the courtesy visiting to the zoo, about 5pm, we had tried to
visit another resort near but it was time for closing again. Then
we had enough time to enjoy the dinner. The famous restaurant has
a relatively luxury building for the price. They call the meal in
sets. Different sets of guoqiaomixian have different price from
RMB6 to RMB240. After checking the difference, we decided to have
the cheapest two sets first and in fact the choice is very smart.
The expensive sets are ready for stupid people who have enough money
but do not know how to waste it; the shark fin and swallow nest is
the reason. We had already had a basic sense of the food, so the
service didn't shocked us. A waiter brought a set of dishes with
several kinds of raw foods on it including eggs, ham slices, fish
slices, chopped green onion, etc. Then they gave you a big bowl
with noodles and a big bowl with bowling soup, still bowling.
According to the service method mentioned in the book, we added the
assortment in the soup and then the noodle. The thin layer of oil
on the soup keeps the soup having enough high temperature to make
all the food in the soup cooked. The meal is spicy, but I prefer
the service method more.
After we had rested enough, we walked in the street on the way back
to the long distance bus station. The first day in Yunnan was not
as wonderful as we expected, but we were happy and full of dream
of the next several days’ exciting trip.
