The bus dropped Claire & I in Qiao Tou after a 2 hour ride through mountains, valleys and over rivers.
"Are you here to walk the Gorge?"
"Yes"
"It's closed"
Tiger Leaping Gorge, one of the key attractions that brought us to China, is off-limits. Constant rain in Yunnan over the last week had resulted in a fatal landslide and the closing of TLG. Whilst it's hard to dwell on the disappointment given others lost their lives, the walk was something we were really looking forward to.
Instead we headed back to Li Jiang, the second historic/preserved city in Yunnan we've visited after Dali. Despite trying to re jig our plans it looks like we're stuck here a few days, before continuing with the adventure. The pics are of Li Jiang.
