Flag of China  Lijiang, Yunnan, China
Thursday, October 30, 2008

Here's some pics from a small wood workshop, a couple of hours from Lijiang. To get there, you have to take a mini bus up a valley, then walk for about half an hour.

The craftsmen work there, and each week the products are taken to Lijiang for sale in shops.
