A Chinese mountain village

There was one more stop on my list of places to visit before nightfall. I didn't know what it was, and simply followed my GPS instructions. I ended up in a really cute mountainous village, which had been used by a National Geographic researcher as his base of exploration to research the local Naxi people. Nowadays it seemed popular with tourists, seeing how there were small electric buses carting people along the steep main road, but it did retain a lot of nice character. Somehow I also ended up stumbled upon a very hipster bakery and coffee shop, where I ordered a hot chocolate to warm my hands and order some dark bread with yogurt filling. I also got a red bean bread with dried strawberry pieces to go.

I also found an apiary and bought a little bit of honey comb for later. As sunset was drawing in, I had to get going. Not only was it around an hour long drive to get back home, but the temperatures were dropping fast, and I had failed in procuring a pair of gloves suitable for my hand size, so driving for that long was going to freeze my hands off already. No need to risk actual frost bite.もっと詳しく
