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 ...

Nonetheless we enjoyed our one day stay in Lijiang, as we got eventually lost in the remote little alleys when walking off the main tourist roads. This was really a ...
Tiger Leaping Gorge

Old Towns and Old Tony ... the big 3-0!
... dishes, each completely different from the next. And Tony the carnivore absolutely loved it! Delicious marinated tofu, lotus flower roots, broccoli, bitter melon and scrambled egg, brown rice, potato rosti, stir fried julienned vegetables, corn, water spinach and garlic, famous Yunnan mushrooms to name a few and it was washed down with a clear delicate vegetable broth.
