Finally on Tibet, a region that is very special and I am glad to have discovered before it was even worse. We had a hard time leaving Lhasa, all routes are traces and prices were pretty discouraged but still saw things beautiful, including the downtown Lhasa, the surrounding villages and especially the mountains. Many rides on the peaks surrounding Lhasa with one company for many yaks and beautiful landscapes. After I returned to Lhasa mainland China with a first stop Zhongdian in northern Yunnan Province, there's still a lot of influences and qq Tibetan mountains even if vegetation Tibet is different, so like, walking in the downtown, mountain, etc.. The next direction Tiger Leaping Gorge, a mini 2-day trek in an area of rugged mountains along the Yangtze River. Then Lijiang, or there is a pseudo Disneyland replica of the ancient city, in fact shielded from tourist shops, restaurants, hotels ... nothing short of authentic and full of Chinese tourists. Then Dali, a town touristy but more relaxed, I left the 2 night, meeting cool people rode horses to the lake with a Chinese etc.. And yesterday I went to the region Xixuanbanna. After 17h of sleeper bus on small road here I am this morning Jihong, near the border of Myanmar and Laos. And I think despite the monsoon qq day stay in the corner in search of a bit of authenticity.
