STREET SCENE
Lijiang, Yunnan, China
Kathleen and I traveled into mainland China for 6 days... the best travel experience we have had to date. The sights were awesome, the people were magnificent and welcoming. We traveled by subway, bus, airplane, another airplane and a taxi which finally dropped us in Lijiang. Lijiang is located in the northwest of the Yunnan Province just a bit north of Vietnam on the map. We stayed in Lijiang for three days and then traveled by car through Tiger Leaping Gorge (the Yuba river on steroids) and arrived about six hours later in Shangrila. Shangrila is located north of Lijiang at around 13,000 ft. The contrast between Lijiang and Shangrila is vast. I would describe Shangrila as high desert with a middle-east feel (although I have never been to the middle-east) that features Tibetan culture, rustic villages, temples, scenic views, chickens, pigs and yaks. A very quiet and peaceful place it proved to be. With that said, the menus feature yak... yak, yak, yak. A must if you enjoy yak! Also, the beer (Dali) is served at room temperature.
I took almost 1,800 photos on the trip. I wish I could post them all but.... enjoy!
