Trip to Yunnan China pt 1

The departure day of my trip to Yunnan, China. I will be visiting Kunming, Dali and Lijiang along the trip and it was exhilarating.

Finally, I was back here to my home country after my holiday to Yunnan, China for 8 whole days. I missed the turn-me-black-sunshine, the wet-my-pyjamas-rain, dusty-freaking-air from the construction site next to my home and of course, the highly-cholesterol-food here. I was like just break myself from Hell Aitelya.
All right, let see whats going on throughout the trip to Yunnan.

participant gather at office at 3am
It was 3.00 am in the morning and it seems that all the trip partaker has already arrived to the travel agency office. There are 15 participants on this trip to Yunnan, China and me and my wifey was the youngest couple of the group. Yeah, I did fell that I'm getting older instantly looking all the veterans around me. The bus starts the journey towards KLIA soon after all the luggage is loaded.

our tourguide mr ho
Our tour guide Mr. Ho is giving a short briefing about what to expect during the 8 days trip to Yunnan. It seems that the weather there currently was pretty good though.

departure hall at klia
We arrived to the KL International Airport at 6.00am early in the morning and check in immediately into the departure hall. You see, the departure hell, ops its departure hall, it was so quiet you could sleep everywhere you like. We gotta wait like another 2 hours until the flight take place.

our plane to kunming a320
Ha, there's our plane. Quite some times didn't fly already. Its an Airbus A320-200 and its going to bring me straight to Kunming.

onboard the plane
Niamah, I was seated in row #45 which is the freaking very last row in the plane. Luckily the toilet was not located behind my seat, else I'm gonna get toxicated by those aunty uncle's thing ar!

food during the flight to kunming
Sitting at the very freaking end of the plane also leave me no choice for the food. There's only this chicken sausage and egg left. OKlah, better than nothing also wat.

above the cloud
Above the Cloud. I think the Antartica should looks like this too. A huge field of white ice and a clear blue sky.

kunming city from plane
Kunming is the capital city of Yunnan province of China. It is a city on a highlands of 1900 meter above sea level. That is even higher than our Genting Highlands which is only about 1700 meter above sea level.

Populated by over 4 million peoples, Kunming is also know as the 'City of Spring'. That is because there is no significant difference between the four season in terms of its weather. You could actually see flowers blooming along the year here.

transit to airport
We touch down to the Kunming International Airport at about 1pm in the afternoon. Though Kunming airport seems to be just a small airport, it handles about 150 flight on daily basis. That would be less than ten minutes per flight. Its a really busy airport. If you were to wait to see a plane to take off in Ipoh Undernational Airport, you should have died 9 times already.
die waiting

lion dance at the airport
Outside Kunming Airport, we were welcomed by these lion dance troupe. I wonder what do we have at our good ole KLIA on this Visit Malaysia Year to welcome the visitors.

kunming tourguide xiao xhai
Our local tour guide in Kunming is Mr. Zhai. He would be happy if you call him Xiao Zhai or Zhai Zhai but definitely not So Chai OK. No, don't say that! Shhh....

fossil power plant
A Fossil fuel Power Plant like this one supplies electricity in most of the city in China. It is powered using coal.
Each year, hundreds of Chinese died in the coal mining industry.

All right, I'm sure you want to see those marvelous Yunnan scenic photo here. Read here for the Xi Shan and the Jin Ma BiJi Archway.
