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 didn’t 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 bookshop 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.
