    A pathway in the upper meadow.  In the days following our hike along the Tiger Leaping Gorge would take us to the other side of this mountain.

    The musical by the name above is presented in an outdoor theatre situated next to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.  We attended the morning show after which we climbed the mountain.

    We arrived later in the day in Lijiang.  From the hotel we took a short taxi ride to the old town.  Lijiang’s old town is quite large and is completely renovated.  While I expect it  once included residential buildings, most are now shops, restaurants, bars and small boutique hotels. 

  • Fishermen

    While driving north to Lijiang we stopped on Lake Erhai to see fishermen apply their traditional techniques to catch fish: cormorants. Fishing is a team effort: the woman (wife) rows the boat, while the man (husband) manages the birds, releasing them and then catching them.   Staged, but interesting regardless.
