David SchmidtSpotted this beautiful sign at the Jianshui Railway Station! 🚉 It’s a powerful reminder of the diversity here in Yunnan. The message reads: “Promote all ethnic groups to hold together as tightly as pomegranate seeds.” It’s displayed in Chinese, the local indigenous script (likely Hani or Yi), and a phonetic transcription. A perfect sentiment to see before boarding the train to Dali. 🤝✨

Enjoying a quick pit stop in Jianshui before the journey continues to Dali! 🚄 The weather down here is absolutely perfect – warm, sunny, and a beautiful 15°C. Just a short break to soak up the sun before our train takes us further north. ☀️
Past the halfway mark on our China adventure! 🇨🇳
From Jianshui to Yuanyang, we’ve captured some incredible drone footage. The sheer volume of sights and impressions is almost overwhelming – this country’s culture is just too deep to explore fully in one lifetime.
Can’t wait to organize this material for a dedicated album and my Selected collection. Stay tuned! 📸

Arrived in Jianshui (建水) today and I’m completely stunned by the beauty here. 🏮
It’s such a fascinating contrast – lots of ancient buildings have been converted into modern shops, while others feel like they haven't changed in centuries, still selling goods the traditional way. The Old Town is guarded by these ginormous gates that have stood strong for hundreds of years. It feels like stepping back in time. 🇨🇳✨

Our week in the tropical paradise of Sanya has come to an end, but the adventure is just getting started.
Tomorrow, we’re trading the ocean breeze for mountain air as we kick off the second leg of our China journey! 🇨🇳
We’re expecting a dramatic shift in both the landscape and the temperature as we head deep into the mountains. It’s going to be a total change of pace, and I can’t wait to see the clouds over the terraces! ⛰️☁️
