After Dali, another bus took us to a similar tourist town, Lijiang. Like Dali, Lijiang has an old town, mountains, minorities (mostly Naxi in Lijiang), and tourists.
We mostly used the town as a base for our Tiger Leaping Gorge adventure, but we managed a few hours for exploring.

In the midst of our Lijiang time, we took off for a 2-day hike of Tiger Leaping Gorge. Photos coming soon, assuming you're not tired of me yet. :)
Nice... Lot of familiar scenes! How was Alexander's?
ReplyDeleteHmm... I have a feeling I'm supposed to remember Alexander's, but I don't.
DeleteQuaint, slightly out of place French pastry shop on the road from the hostel into town! It was our breakfast for at least one or two mornings I think. :)
