Where I'm staying

According to the 2010 census, China has a population of more than 1 billion people (1,339,724,852 to be exact).  In 2010, Yunnan had a population of almost 46 million people. 

It will be interesting to see what this actually looks like on the ground.  I'd heard there are communities of people everywhere, and it took me some time to realize that even some of the quaint looking Dali and Lijiang are home to over a million people.  Shangri la is smaller, and Shaxi is so small that I couldn't find a population for it.....

Links to information and photos of the hotels and guesthouses that I've booked.....
