Easily the most amazing bus ride I've ever taken. The road from Lijiang to Xichang, the first city of any size in Sichuan province, was quite long, 15-16 hours or so, but worth it for the mountain scenery.

You go up into the moutains out of Lijiang and then descend through stuff like this
Harrowing roads, but breathtaking views
The ubiquitous rice terraces
After 7 or 8 hours, we arrived at Lake Lugu, I think it's called. I almost got off it looked so nice.
