Day 15 - Wednesday 18/Nov/2018 - Dali to Qiaotou (Tiger Leaping Gorge) journey

---

Decided to skip the Lijiang destination for a while, as I will have my return flight to Hangzhou from this place. So I must anyhow stay there later on. So I can continue directly to the Tiger Leaping Gorge.
Built a great team to do the two days hiking trail through the gorge:
- a New yorker, 6O+
- a Swedish couple
- a girl from London
All gathered in the hostel of Dali, and teamspirit confirmed by biking together for one day.

• bus from Dali to Lijiang, 10:30, booked through the hostel, including pickup at the hostel, 2.5h, 75Yuan.
• private bus from Lijiang to the guesthouse in the gorge, 300Yuan/5p.
• entrance ticket to the gorge, 65Yuan.


!---! Jane's Guesthouse, Qiaotou, Yunnan, China (extremely basic).

Managed to rent a minivan for our five, nearly same price as taking the bus.
