The main Naxi town

... busy thoroughfare on the fringes of what is known as the “New town”. During that time we see many examples of traditional costumes and not just amongst the older women. These are people going about their daily business, young mothers with babies on their backs or women with shopping baskets, also on their backs.

Tourism can be a blessing in terms of the money it brings but it can also damage traditional ways of life. However, I find it ...

    ... and it may be the last time to be able to hike on the trail if the government goes ahead with their plan of building a dam there. I left Naxi Family house at 8am and got to Qiautou around 10 just in time to catch a bus back to Lijiang.

    Back in Lijiang, I walked the streets one more time and indulged in local food at Nr. 88 Naxi snacks, at Nr. 52 another Naxi restaurant and at Aan Yoghurt, local made yoghurt that can be ordered with ...

    ... br>we walked some of the way but the heat was intense and we had to turn back but we had a good 6 hour walk. the scenery was amazing and being so high up was a new experience for me.

    Jane's guest house was a nice place to stay but Jane is a bit annoying. as our visas are running out, we decided to go the next morning to Dali, on the bus for 5 hours.

    The Gorge - Day 1

    ... this hike quite easy to plan. Our first day of hiking here included a climb up the grueling "28 Bends." We had a boisterous evening with Mahlee and Frank, the Dutch couple with whom we have been casually traveling for the past week, and a fun bunch Americans we met along the way.

    ... a necklace. It really added to the charm of the place seeing that a lot of the crafts they sold were handmade and could be done right before your eyes. Later in the evening we walked up to "Looking into the Past Pavilion" (Wangou Lou), which was built upon Lion Hill and looks out over the town. It gives a great view but unfortunately was built using 400+ year old ancient trees from the northern Yunnan forests.

    The Tiger Roared

    ... ladders and steep trails. Quite an adventure! After enjoying the power of the river, we took off along a side path back to Walnut Garden that was slashed out of the sheer cliff face. It provided unparalleled views back up (and eventually down) the river, our favorite stretch of hiking. It ended up taking a little longer than expected to get back and we relished the chance to finally sit down at Woody's Guesthouse just down the road (but with superior view ...

    ... carrying capability. Once we had loaded our rucksacks up, we waited patiently in the frickin' rain whilst one of the guys took advantage of the opportunity of having a fully-loaded trailer to pump up his front-tyre. Off we trudged through torrential rain, puddles that would have detered Dr Foster from a return visit and streets swarming with newly qualified Chinese drivers. After 15 minuted of tramping through narrow alleyways that in drier ...

We are staying in a guesthouse which is our cheapest in China yet! Its really quaint and its actually a traditional courtyard house, with a real Naxi family living it!! They are really nice and look after us well, they have the cutest little boy who yesterday sat on our step reading his books ...
