Day 1 - The Lost Horizon
27 March 2009
14:30 : Departed from Shenzhen Airport. Heavy rain condition at the airport caused the flight to be delayed for 20 minutes.
17:00 Arrived at Kun Ming Airport. The flight need to refuel, thus waited for 45 minutes before continue the journey to Li Jiang.
Throughout in the flight, turbulence can be felt and I saw many passengers were getting dizzy and air-sick. But I have no problem, perhaps due to I have been "trained up" in many more greater turbulence than this in my other flights. Throughout this flight, beautiful clouds can be seen capping the mountain range.

19:00 Arrived at Li Jiang airport. 
The tour guide Mr. Jiang greeted us and brought us to the Li Jiang city which is about 40 minutes drive from the airport. At this moment in the bus, I can feel that my head is getting heavy, dizzy and there is a pulsating headache too. It's due to the high altitude of this place with a range of 3000 m above sea level. At this level, the oxygen level and air pressure is very very low.
But at the same time, I can't resist the beautiful scenery of the grassland and vegetation farm lining along the way to the Li Jiang city.
19:40 We had our dinner at one of the small little home-cum-inn of the Naxi tribe people.
20:30 Checked in hotel and since I was not feeling well, thus took a light nap.
22:00 Felt much better, and can't resist the urge to go outside and had a walk. Saw the entire sky is beautifully litted up with thousands of stars, but too bad that I was not able to capture any good shots.
23:00 Bed time.
Next, more updates coming soon on this blog and my photostream.
