درس طبخ الزهور الطازجة + سوق دونان للزهور (كونمينغ)

I expected the Lijiang cooking session to be mostly watching. We actually had time to handle the ingredients, ask basic questions and make mistakes without feeling rushed.

What helped was simple: our questions wandered well beyond the standard facts, and the guide stayed with them. That made the time at Lijiang much more interesting. I would rather keep the pause at the cooking session than add another stop.

Looking back, the schedule is fairly full. I would have liked another twenty minutes at the cooking session, but I would not drop any of the main stops.

Looking back, this wasn't a “see everything” tour, and that was a strength. The time around Lijiang felt specific to Lijiang, not interchangeable with another city.
