Hey guys, so we are at this cave
Jiuxiang cave, so one of the biggest caves in the province of Yunnan
Yeah, and we have to take this elevator down to the bottom to get to the caves
So it's pretty high up, as you can see
Yeah

This is a special kind of drink in Yunnan province
I haven't seen this drink anywhere in the country and anywhere in the world
What they do is they put the yogurt drink with sticky rice -- glutinous rice
and it's so good
I got mango juice
So refreshing, so good, on hot sunny day like today
So tomorrow, where's our next destination, babe?
Tomorrow we're going to Guilin, which is well known for its river rafting and the mountain scene
