31 may to 2 june 2007, lijiang

horse dung “马粪"
la shi hai “拉市海”

naxi tribe "纳西族"

a quiet back street of lijiang
10hrs bus ride from kunming to lijiang - sunset at dali

after viewing some of jackson's recent photographs of his visit to lijiang, we decided to come here and take a look. i love Lijiang for its unique presence. it is like a revived old city. in the morning, there is folk dancing. at night, the restaurants and drinking bars were filled with people dancing and singing. there were like rows of young people lined up outside their shops, singing loudly to compete with the people opposite. one group will start singing a line. the group lined up opposite will have to continue singing from there. whichever group fails to continue, will be booed.
