... or fruits. I also went to a dongbei restaurant for some northern chinese food. In the evening, I went to see the famous Naxi Orchestra, located inside a beautiful building in Old Town. All members (26 at last count) are Naxi and play a type of Taoist temple music (known as dòngjīng ) that has been lost elsewhere in China.

... It was 5 yuan and it was delicious! Better than our over priced breakfast yesterday. I read somewhere that Naxi flat bread is called Ba Ba (not sure if this is it). We stopped at the mini mart/travel center and booked the flight to Chengdu. Bill only changed his mind three times about the flight time. I think the lady and I were both ready to strangle him! I was trying to confirm the bus situation at the Lijiang tourist information booth and the girl ...

(there's some debate on Jane's sex, and I've just learned that as the youngest of 4 sons in a tibetan family it was traditional to raise Jane as a girl).

In the past 5 years, Tiger Leaping Gorge's high trail has transformed from an experts only trek into something of a must do for tourist and travelers alike in the region. Trails were poorly marked if at all and people got lost more often than not. The low trail has been turned into a paved road full of tour buses so even the common man can take a look at the beauty of the Gorge. We didn't get started until about 11:30 so we had the hardest part of the ...

... restaurants, and store after store after store of stuff. There were so many stores full of similar stuff that you could not identify your location by store because they all looked the same. After a few days there, we were a little eager to get away (and the prices were about to more than double due to the May holiday), and so we headed to Tiger Leaping Gorge.
