Hiking to the Waterfalls Outside Nabang/Laiza
After only a few days in the area, I had the chance to hike along the river that officially divides Yunnan Province, China and Kachin State, Burma to visit a waterfall with three friends. It was the only real trip I would make in my seven and a half weeks in the area, so I'm glad I took advantage of it.
It was a bit tough going in the midday heat right after eating a big lunch, but it was nice. We had to walk across the river several times where we couldn't continue on the same side we were on, and as we waded across several times my bare feet nearly slipped on the rocks underwater. Luckily that didn't happen, as I had two non-waterproof cameras, a non-waterproof GPS device, and my non-waterproof phone with me!
When we arrived at the waterfalls it was great to sit down and relax, eat a huge handful of peanuts, and take some photos of my friends playing around in the water:
The walk home was much easier as it was more downhill and the weather had cooled slightly. I like this kind of bridge - I wish we had more like this in Canada:
After returning home, it was time for supper, ping pong, a shower, and sleep.
