I meant to check out and catch a bus to Yabuli, but I couldn’t buy a ticket the night before or the next morning. Cheap rooms in Snow Town rarely appeared on Trip. I stayed another night to figure out the bus because I didn’t want to pay for a taxi :D
I checked out, went to lunch and took a different room 600 metres away. At 356 yuan, about 1.3 million đồng, it was the cheapest in the village.
I walked around looking for the tourism centre to ask about bus tickets. I couldn’t find it, and I didn’t know what to type in Chinese into the map. I lay in my room from three in the afternoon to seven at night trying to buy a ticket. I couldn’t do it without a Chinese phone number. I texted Yinna to say I couldn’t book. She offered to do it for me and managed after about an hour of trying :D
I knew it was 85 yuan but asked how much to transfer in case she charged me for the trouble. She wrote it out for me: eighty-five :D
With a ticket back sorted, I could finally go out and enjoy myself.
A little livestream while I wandered.
The skewer stall looked good, but the wait seemed long, so I didn’t buy anything.

I didn’t edit any of these photos. Chinese photo editors do love their bright colours :D
