Gate to Black Dragon Pool 黑龙潭
I had to wait out a heavy thunderstorm before I could leave Baisha. It hasn’t rained this bad since I got here and I guess I was lucky since it was really the rainy season when I visited. I wasn’t exactly very good for photos though since I love my skies blue. There were a few of us waiting opposite the Baisha Murals. Unfortunately for them, they would have to totally wait out the rain since they only came here by bicycle. Bus number 6 eventually passed by and I made a mad dash for the bus leaving the others behind. I tried to keep my spirits up despite the downpour and hoping that the rain would not follow me all the way to Lijiang Ancient Town.
Entering Black Dragon Pool 黑龙潭
Bus 6 brings me back to Lijiang Ancient Town and it is also a good thing. Outside the wall of the ancient city lies another one of Lijiang’s more popular sights. I got off where the bus picked me up earlier that afternoon and head left. There is a tall gate there, for Chinese readers, you would be able to tell what place this is – Black Dragon Pool. This is one of Yunnan’s most photographed sights, I hope I will be luckier here. I haven’t had blue skies here since I go here hopefully my luck would change.
