In the morning, Afang drive us to temple in the mountain, as they were renovating the temple, she succeeded to ask the to open the door. It was woman Buddha, which was representing the wiseness. The stone of the temple are looking like the top of a turtle and the local gave them a holy signification. After the visit we went to Lijiang one more time in another house of Afang. She invited us to stay for the night.
Lijiang is a kind of tourist land. They renovated the old quarter and change any single house in a shop to sell goods to tourist. However, Afang house was still in a part of the old town still quiet. We had the quietness of her house and life of the touristic old town.
Around midnight, after one more terrific diner, we went to walk in the city. The good point is that after midnight all the shop close and the old town become more a traditional old town.
