Previously visited : Tenchong to Dali

Long day of driving through forests and more farming ( yet more bananas, bamboo, corn and rice ; some tea on higher slopes) land. Up and down. Spectacular scenery . New road – spectacular engineering feat. Crossed the Nujang River ( Salween in Myanmar) and Mekong River. As we approached Dali, the farmhouses became more prosperous looking. Our hotel in Dali was an interesting restored building in traditional style.
