The old town of Lijiang
... Baba, it is a thick wheat flatbread stuffed with meat, vegetables or sweets. Very yummy, but decadent.
Sam ate some Yak meat too, he wasn't to sure about that flavour.
The word Naxi descends from ethnically Tibetan Qiang tribes, and lived until recently in matrilineal families, which basically means the women run the show.

... and leading them along.
The Welcome Ceremony followed. The students at the orphanage did an amazing show.
