Chengdu to Dali in a day

Not reccomended!I have had a pretty tiring day leaving Chengdu at 620am and making it here just before 5pm. It was with much regret that I left Chengdu but I really did want to see more of the Tibetan side of China, so here I am. So far, I have been approachedby many trying to sell me some herbal 'tea'....mmmm. Tomorrow, will get a bike and head out of town.
Chengdu was great, but more about that later...
