China, Yunnan 云南 XII: Eating time

The most boring typical tourist food in China, a lot of dishes but none is  good.... eat just to survive

This is much more better, a BBQ of everything

BBQ lamp, a bit salty but taste good

Local beer

BBQ cucumber

BBQ smelly tofu

BBQ egg plant, this one is really good

Taiwanese sausage hotdog in mainland

This is the best one, the black goat 黑山羊.
The chef is separating the skin and meat from the bone 厨师正在起肉 

Only the skeleton left

Steam boat Black Goat Meat. This one is worth to try again if I have a chance  

Meat served with skin... woww

Cooked in herb soup, the combination is just awesome, especially in such a cold weather.

China, Yunnan 云南 XI: Some good moments

Papercutting 剪纸 - the artist cut a  silhouette of both of us while we were having our steamboat dinner and it took the artist less than 10 minutes to come out each of them.

On a street of Kunming city

A packaged ready-to-eat chicken feet

Something wrong with my Samsonite luggage bag when we arrived in Kunming. The front locking device could not be open. At first we though we could have mixed up the password so we tried all the thousand combinations from 000 to 999.  It took us around 1 hour but the lock is still locked. We become worry but the local tour guide consoled us what we need is just a screw driver. Believe it or not, with two screw drivers borrowed from the hotel, we forced open the bag in less than 5 minutes, even it is a top class Samsonite bag....

Nice view from our hotel in Dali

A huge Kwan-yin 观音 full body portrait  at the main lobby in our hotel in Dali. The local Bai people 白族 is devout believer to Kwan-yin.

Dried chili, in one of a restaurant from our way back from Lijiang to Dali
