Tianmen Mountain was one of the places I decided to visit during my trip to Zhangjiajie. I had an extra day before heading to the 'Avatar Mountains'.

I just got out of the overnight bus from Kunming to Shangri-La. I was still drowsy when I got to the hostel. It wasn't check-in time yet, so I was looking for something to do to pass the time.

Dali was one of the places I had in mind when I was traveling in Yunnan, I decided to go because it was along the way and between the places I was going to visit already.
