We arrive at Lijiang from Kunming close to midnight... being further up north it was rather chilly and we were hurriedly bundled off to our 客栈 for the night.
The very beautiful 'old city' which we stayed in... felt like the perfect setting for a gungfu movie or a 武侠小说! Now we know why SO many people were telling us that Lijiang was not to be missed when in Yunnan... :)

Walking the maze of streets that followed a pretty little river
Some older womenfolk hanging out at the city square from the Naxi tribe, which is apparently matriarchal in culture..!
Dancing taking place in the streets
We came here twice in the 3 days that we were in Lijiang for their generous, delicious Sze Chuan beef and wanton handmade noodles...
All for just 4 yuan which amounted to less than S$1..!!
Dinner with houseparents of some of the orphanages in Lijiang before following Suh Ching back for Des to see one of the boys with a giant-cell tumor in his shoulder...
Typical Lijiang breakfast...
Naan look-alike
And noodles as always of course...
