3. Lijiang

After we left Shangri-La, we stopped at "Tiger leaping gorge". This is 500 steps down (and up...) to a river. Some Chinese men are earning some money by carrying you upstairs. That's a real heavy job...
Then we stopped at a little place called Shigu. I show you only a few pictures of this village. Our destination was Lijiang city... very touristic, about 99% of the visitors are Chinese. But still a lot of fun for someone like me.
I really like the people here. They are very friendly and they even smile to me (and some didn't like to be photographed). In this nice city we visited a Naxi show. The Naxi are one of the local minorities in China.
