Got a shock error message from my Garmin watch on the eve of CNY.
Was it the end of my Sports Watch life cycle?
Was it a world-wide error?
Was it a 'prank' from Garmin- wishing us Happy CNY?
Or was I invited to the "Squid" Game?

The final day of the trip. This 9 days trip is fun but more on 'exhausting' than 'relaxing'. I don't particularly think that 9 days are too long. Perhaps its the hectic schedule of the trip that causes the fatigue. Going thru the program, what are the places that we could have miss? I couldn't find any.
Today's program is a final visit at Li Jiang old town, and then start commencing the road back home, which includes taking a taxi at 3pm+, and then train to Kun Ming at 5pm+, and then from Kun Ming train station to airport at 10pm+, and then flight back to KL at 2am. A very tiring journey back indeed.
Day 8 of the trip commence with a visit to the Songzanlin Monastery (and Museum). This is suppose to be the main attraction for Shangri-la, however, we find the other attraction more 'attractive. I don't see or sense presence of pilgrim. On the other hand, there are plenty of tourist here for photo session.
Taking a private car to Shangri-La allowed us to visit 3 places today.
Firstly, we visit the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Spot. The view is great and it would have been even greater should it be raining season. It is located right between Li Jiang and Shangri-la, therefore its an on-the-way spot that everyone visited. The crowd is much lesser than expected.
