Travel Blogs from Lijiang
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 ...

We stayed at a place called Sean's; its the original backpacker spot but the eponymous owner was a little bit too tense (he seems to be really angry about the fact other people have cashed in on the gorge) so we checked out a cheaper spot up the road for dinner, Tibetan Guesthouse, which had just opened up and was run by a really friendly lady.
