China Day 3 - Dali (大理)

The 2nd day at Dali was very hot. The first place of interest that we went to was the filming city of 天龙八部. At least something that i was looking forward to at Dali but when i was there, i felt a little disappointed. It wasnt as grand as i thought it should be.

Its very near Dian Chan Shan(点苍山)

The place was rather small and we didnt really explore all parts. We locate a quiet spot with nice lighting and do some portraits for one another

Have to admit that thou this town is a little more complicated than the rest and slightly more dirty, it has its own attraction.
