Kun Ming, China - The Spring City

I was fortunate to be given the opportunity to join the National Sales Convention on 26 Feb 2008. Kunming is the capital of the Province of Yunnan. It is reputed as the "Spring City of China" due to the fact that it is endowed with a pleasant climate, spring all the year round and is adorned with more than 400 kinds of flowers.

Fortunately or unfortunately, our first night in the City of Spring, the temperature fell drastically that there was unexpected snowfall at night. We were told that this rare snowfall was the first time since the last 5 years.

On the second day, the team left for Stone Forest to participate in a HSBC Editon"Amazing Race". The Stone Forest is the most scenic attraction in Yunnan Province and there is an old local saying that says, 'if you have visited Kunming without seeing the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time.' It is true: the Stone Forest is definitely one of a kind!

Shuttle ride to stone forest. All of us are divided into team according to the local tribes' name such as "Naxi, Miao, Bai" and so on.. Sounded like some kind of vulgar lingo to me. Anyway, i was from the " Miao". The one in the pic who looks like auntie is me. It was really cold, okay!? Clad in warm clothes made the already plump figure looked even more puffed up!(Sigh..)

" Now you see me...."

"Now you don't!" A picturesque backdrop with mirror-like lake near the entrance to the Stone Forest.

Another fairyland on earth

This is like a scene in most of the Chinese Kungfu movies. You can imagine this thing like flying dragon and crouching tiger.
