Lijiang

I told you the bathrooms (or as we call them the "toilet" or the "WC") were interesting around here. Yes, Terry is wearing a fishing hat with a "fur tail." Long story.....

Street vendor making something like a hashbrown. Be careful with that big chopper!

Our good friend.....I have later photos with the infamous BYU bookstore bag.

Local folk enjoying the day.

The canals run through the village and they are used for washing clothes, dishes, vegetables and whatever else needs to be "cleaned?!"

Black Dragon Pool Park. Famous mountain in the background. Many brides were being photographed on the bridge and at the pagoda in the background.

We enjoyed historic Lijiang very near the Tibetan border in northern Yunnan Province. We went to the old town which was a delightful maze of cobbled streets, rickety old wooden buildings, gushing canals, bustling street markets all tended by merchants in traditional Naxi costumes. We visited Shuhe ancient town very near which is an older and more natural local village of the Naxi Minority. Black Dragon Pool Park was very lovely and peaceful. (photos)
