Train Journey: Chuxiong [楚雄] to Dali [大理]

Duration: about 1 hour View from the train window: we probably went from 1,500m to 1,900m above sea-level without feeling much difference in the train. The sky was so blue and the fields were lined with crops.

We enjoyed watching the Yi people, dressed in their traditional costumes,
