Climbing in Shigu, Yunnan (石鼓鎮)

After our hike from Tiger Leaping Gorge, we drove straight to Shigu, which is a new-ish climbing area about 1 hour away from Lijiang Town or 2 hours from the Gorge, and about 1-2 hours from Liming.

Tiger Leaping Gorge, Yunnan

4 years ago, M and I attempted to hike Tiger Leaping Gorge but unfortunately that did not happen due to heavy rain and landslides blocking the road. Finally this time my plans aligned and I found some friends willing to join me on a 4 day trip to Yunnan. (Alas, M could not). Arriving in […]

In Guangzhou we had a hard time catching a cab because all the […]

So not much to write except to not trust the weather reports cuz they totally failed. […]

That was great because I got an excuse to go on a little excursion with M to a mountain called SanQingShan in JiangXi province. I found this mountain randomly because I was thinking […]
