The mountains in southern Yunnan are beautiful. Those remind me the mountains in Chichibu where I live.
雲南省南部は山が綺麗だ～。地元の秩父の山を思い出す。





Crossing Mekong river again in Jinghon.
メコンをジンホンで再び渡る。



There are many different tribes in this area, so I saw people walking with tribal costume in some local towns.
民族色も濃いようで、地方じゃ民族衣装を着て歩いている人もちらほら。今はタイ族自治区なんで・・・多分タイ族？


You can get nice bed for about 50 gen($7). Of cause, food is delicious and cheep.
宿は50元出せば、かなり綺麗な宿に泊まれるし、飯も美味くて安い。


For a road, the road I take is not as beautiful as between Boten and Jinghon but nice paved road. I'm glad there was not any tunnels since Jinghon.
道路はボーテン～ジンホン間程は良くないけど、綺麗な舗装路。トンネルがなくて嬉しい。ジンホンまでのハイウェイはトンネルが多くて怖かった。


It's no doubt a lot of hills on the way but mostly those are gentle slope.
坂は思っていた通り。多い。急じゃないけど。


Now, I'm in Ranchan, a town that is not far to Burma border.
今はランチャン。ミャンマーの国境からそんなに遠くない。



I heard that in Amud area, Sichuan where I am supposed to go through, there was a big problem between Tibetan monks and Police. Not good...
何か四川省のアムド辺りの状況が良くないね。通る予定なんだけどどうだろ。
