Mile, Yunnan
























I just got back home from Mile, Yunnan which is famous for its huge buddha and natural hot springs.  I have to say that Mile is one of the cleanest cities I have been to in China and is a great place to get away for a little relaxing vacation from the big city.  We stayed at a 5 star hotel that cost about 35 u.s. dollars a night...^_^  Included was a incredible breakfast and access to all the different natural hot springs.  The next day we went hiking to see the big golden buddha which was also amazing.  Then we went to have lunch at my teachers parents house.  It was pretty cool to have a huge home cooked lunch with some local people.  My teachers family was great and the food was delicious.  After that we went and rented some paddle boats and cruised around the lake.  It is only about 3 hours from Kunming and I hope to get back there again someday.  PEACE
