We arrive there in the night and check in Mama Naxi Guesthouse - great place to meet other travellers.

We arrived there late on a cold evening. In the morning, we met up with a local guide whose name sounded like 'Macherie'. I told him that his name meant ‘My Dear’ in French and he seemed very pleased about ...
The Ancient City of Lijiang
... the old market—which turned out to be a typical Chinese outdoor market—and returned to Mama Naxi’s to find that it would take another hour before our rooms were ready, but we could drop off our bags in a storage closet.
