We woke up very late and around midday, we took a a brunch with Adrien in the hostel, we had almost all the hostel for us (as it will open 1st of October). Afang gave us some delicious french toast with some real coffee from Yunnan. The light was just enough to warm the old patio
Then as it was the day of the market, all the minorities came to sell and buy food clothes and other in traditional outfit.
The old town was crowded of people and goods to sell.
I finish to buy a pipe and some Tobacco from Yunnan.
We were I think the only tourists of the town and with all the local, I think I found the real China or the real Shangrila. I just hope that will not change too quick when the tourist will discover this small paradise.
We went also in a resto to drink some tea, and we took a course to smoke the big water pipe with my new tobacco.
In the evening, we went in a Shop with antiquities and then we drunk a bear to close this very nice day.
