Arrival in the beautiful city of Kunming
#WordlessWednesday
I initially wanted to start the series as #WordlessWednesday posts, but then decided on more detailed articles. Let’s begin with a spring potpourri! And yes, it really is WOW!!
The first photos from a long trip through Yunnan Province in China
Some pictures from Daoist temples
Footnotes:
[1] Stepping into our hotel is like traveling back a century. This heritage property is housed in a traditional Bai-style (白族 Báizú) residence that is approximately 100 years old.
The architecture follows the classic “Three Buildings and a Screen Wall” layout, a signature of the Bai ethnic group’s craftsmanship. While the rooms have been updated for modern comfort, the soul of the building remains intact through its original intricate wood carvings and stone masonry. Located in a quiet alley, it offers a rare, peaceful glimpse into Dali’s past, far removed from the modern bustle.
The family rank didn’t last long, though. By the next day, she had already demoted me to “second-oldest cousin.” 🙃
