Picture Post 6: Dali and Shibaoshan

Part two-ish of our province field trip-- a night in the backpacker haven of Dali and then a night in the only place I've ever stayed with no running water, a monastery on the mountain, Shibaoshan, where ancient grottoes in the cliffs house altars and I got pickpocketed by a monkey

A Dali street


Sunlight on the Dali mountains


The famous Dali pagodas


Temples tucked into the cliff and a waterfall at the Shibaoshan grottoes




An old altar in the grottoes of Shibaoshan


The Shibaoshan monkeys
