Okay, last update then I really have to pack my bag.
After leaving Lake Erhai we stopped in a a place that does tie dye. I never really understood how the process worked, so seeing the cloth being tied and then dyed (duh) was actually pretty rad. Some of the patterns were pretty awesome, and we left the place with a new tablecloth!
Last stop for us was to see the three pagodas at a temple on the edge of town. The entrance fee is extortionate, so we were content with hanging out front andtaking some photos for free (even if we had to wait an age for a group of businessmen to finish taking theirs first).
