After the Dragon Backbone Rice Terraces I had to go back to Yangshuo to pick up my passport that I had left in the hostel (oops). After a couple of days I flew from Guilin (the larger city next to Yangshuo) to Kunming, in the Yunnan province. The Yunnan is the region in China with the largest number of ethnic minorities and with the best weather all-year-around (never too hot nor too cold).
Kunming is the capital and the main travel hub in Yunnan, where all the buses, trains and flights seem to converge. When I got there I felt a warm, dry weather that reminded me the summer in Portugal. Even the smell in the air was similar. The city itself doesn't have much to see, but the laid-back pace of life there contrasts with the frantic and noisy life in other parts of China.
In Yunnan it is not difficult to meet the same travellers over and over again in different places, and as a consequence groups are formed and grow every day. In Kunming the beginning of a group of travellers started to form, ready to explore this region.
