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.

Golden Eagles and Venetian Alleys
... br> Contrast the scything peasants to a group of twenty something's we saw a couple of weeks back in a Shanghai techno club. On the table next to us in broad techno-light, lines of cocaine were being cut up and taken all over the glass tabletops.
