Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Map of the county of Xishuangbanna, in Yunnan province showing most of the cities and towns I visited.
I have travelled in a variety of buses, but haven’t had to share with chooks or ducks yet. Just about every car driver and interurban bus driver I have been with felt obliged to overtake the vehicle in front. Most bus seats were quite comfortable. I had a day of bike riding in Jinghong and have foregone opportunities to ride a horse, not worthwhile, or sit on a dromedary. Shanks pony has had a real workout.
