Grand Shangrila Voyage











The 14 days trip itinerary begins from Shanghai, Chengdu, Kangding, Xinduqiao, La Rural, Yading, Xiangcheng, Zhongdian, Lijiang, Shuhe, Shanghai

This time I was pretty prepared. Physically and emotionally..............walking training....gym....clothes....pack....beauty......photography....all the gears were ready. The whole trip was about shooting, landscape mostly, Chinese who ware half of the crews, enjoy, appreciate, and crazy about mountains. They could be in the car traveling to certain spot, waited for 4-5 hours to shoot one picture in the specific lighting.
Here are the brief stat' of this trip.
The highest we were : 5217 m.
The main attraction : Mountainsssss
The longest time in the car: 6 hrs.
The physical challenge level : No complication
The emotional challenge level: High....How to stay in same location for 5 hrs. waiting for the right light ( said who?) and how to get through the Chinese toilet?
The level of fighting: High.....all the times with driver and his son request them not to smoke in the car.
The best body benefit : Every one lost two kilos.
The best scam of the trip: the caterpillar fungus A.K.A. The plant worm.
The survival food: The boil eggs, and the packet tea eggs.

......the list is still coming....I will come back to add it up if I recall other situation.

It might be a torture for me on some locations but generally, I enjoyed the city time off and never a day goes by without shooting!......
