Zhejiang to Yunnan Province

We started our adventure out of the apartment in the evening of 23 March.....

Rozi acted as my special sherpa..... before heading to the railway station...one of the items in the bag.....dried beef rendang and rice cube...LOL....

Waiting for our D109 fast train to Changsha

Rozi insisted that I took the photo to show the train speed...that was at 199km/hour....





We reached Changsha Railway early morning of 24th March....the ticket for early morning train to Kunming was sold out...we gotta wait for 8:30am train and camped out at the McD next to railway station for nearly 7 hours......however, there a a few motels and hotels within minutes walking distance nearby but we decided to wait instead since there were not many people around the station (that was truly backpacking experience!!).....






We managed to get soft bed shared with a local couple from Suzhou......so I have to put on my hijab while sleeping....my first experience but I slept comfortably may be too tired to think of other things!!.......Rozi was on upper deck and it was quite funny since we were chatting in Bahasa Malaysia talking about the couple doing lovveeyy dooveyyy stuffs until both of us fell asleep.........it was a very memorable 22 hours train ride from Changsha to Kunming city........






These are some of the photos taken from the train ride.......some mountainous scenery near Guizhou...











Somewhere near Kunming.....
