Black Dragon Pool--Lijiang

I visited this exquisite site in Lijiang, China, exactly when the pandemic was breaking out in Wuhan Province far to the east of this location. The country-wide lockdown was instituted overnight, and direct flights to the United States from China were suddenly prohibited. Fortunately, after many unsuccessful attempts spanning over three weeks to reschedule my original flight--to basically make my escape--I had an epiphany that I could take a high-speed train to Kunming, the capital of the Yunnan Province, and from there fly to Bangkok and then back to the United States with new tickets. I was very fortunate to get out when I did!

 

Thank you everyone for your faves and kind comments!
