After heading out of Xiamen we flew to Kunming. A drastic difference in cities. Kunming has entailed a lot of walking, about 10 plus kilometers a day. We have been to several temples, but the highlight so far has been the food.
The first night we were able to find our way to a local eatery and the food was fantastic. Pineapple and spare ribs, wood ear mushrooms, crispy beef, and soy beans with mustard greens. All in all, it was excellent.
Today we went on a long walk to pretty much nowhere. The map and guidebooks touted this park on the north end of dianchi (a large lake south of Kunming) but a wrong turn and we were on the wrong side of the canal from the park. Fortunately there was a small park that offered a (some what disappointing) view of the north end of the lake. But to salvage the day I was able to locate a bicycle store and find a dowel that I have been looking for to make my luggage rack a little more secure and keep my baggage from falling off. So that was good.
