The uncertainty of 2020 has meant that we needed to refocus our summer travels on China instead of returning to Canada. While this is certainly bittersweet, we've made the most of our 33 days of freedom. Beginning Dali, Yunnan, our route was expertly planned by LeeAnne to increase our altitude gently as we traveled from Dali to Shaaxi then Tiger Leaping Gorge then Baoshan stone village then overland to Lugu Lake then Shangri La then Yubeng and, finally, Lijiang. Our guide for much of the journey was the intrepid Mr Mu and our companions for the first 3 weeks were our good buddies, the Turners. This video captures much of our high-altitude fun from jaw-dropping canyons to a glacier lake at nearly 4000m.
