Lijiang: Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡) & Xue Shan (雪山)

Sight-seeing day out...

At a Tibetan-esque temple on the way to Tiger Leaping Gorge...

Mel & me with the beautiful beautiful mountains...

At Tiger Leaping Gorge... which has a 3,900m drop in elevation from the mountaintop to the riverbed - the deepest valley in the world!

Lunchbreak

One of the many lovely snapshots of God's creation that we were treated to...*wowowow*

Strawberry season!! One basketful of juicy super-sweet strawberries for only 5 yuan (or about S$1!)...

Fields of flowers...

Horseriding at the foot of Snow Mountain where Des' horse got cranky, gallopped away and almost flung him off!! We all had a minor heart attack there... So much for adventure. :p

With our friendly horse-riding guides...

We're on the top of the world... looking down on creation

Under the cherry blossom tree..!

Pretty much postcard perfect..! :)
