The old town of Lijiang
Lijiang is a maze of cobbled streets, rickety wooden buildings and canals.
Very easy to get lost, which we did, wandering through the lanes and alleys lined with stalls making and selling beautiful handcrafts and knick-knacks.
I love coming to a new place and seeing all the different styles of street foods, here they call them Naxi snacks. One style ...

Sur les pavés la Chine
... l’UNESCO. Lijiang m’a un peu rappelé Québec, en version chinoise. Dans les principales artères et dans un rayon d’un kilomètre autour de la place centrale, toutes les maisons abritent des restaurants, des marchands de thé et des boutiques de souvenirs. Ces dernières vendent toutes les mêmes merdes, c’est à se demander comment ils survivent. A en juger par leurs étals, toute la Chine devrait déjà être équipée d’écharpes traditionnelles, de ...
