The old town of Lijiang
... Pool Park, where you can get a stunning view of Jade Dragon Snow mountain and a glimpse of the traditional Naxi lifestyle.
Ordering food down this part of china is a bit more difficult, for lunch we ended up with 5 small pieces of pork and some kind of fried pastry with sugar sprinkled over it,

The (way too popular) old town of Lijiang
... its beautiful location around some great mountain ranges and its cultural mix of different ethnical groups. Unfortunately in 1996 a major earthquake destroyed a lot of the city, but thanks to the regular tourist invasions (and related money flow), the town has been rebuilt (although in a Chinese fashion, i.e. not everywhere in an authentic way).

Tomorrow, I'm going up to some random mountain and shrine with a fellow Chinese American I met on the bus. I'm not sure what's there, but hopefully it's as great as the Yunnan area has been so far. Now off to rest my tired feet. And dab iodine on my cuts...
