Lijiang Ancient City
Lijiang is a small city in Yunnan provence.  Yunnan is in China's southwest.  We all went to Lijiang for a vacation.  Lijiang's weather was great.  Blue sky's every day.  The people there tell us that Lijiang is not to hot in summer and not too cold in winter.

This is a view across Lijiang old town.
The town has hundreds of little alleys to walk along.  There are no cars in this part of town.


There are many little brooks and streams running through the town.  They are all crystal clear.
 

That's Jade Dragon mountain in the distance.  It can be seen from all over the town.
The street's are lined with shop's.  This town is really famous here in China so there are hundreds of tourist shops.  It's makes the town feel a little fake but it's still fun.
Lijiang's old town really is not unique in the region.  These towns are common in the region.  The one in Lijiang is one of the biggest and best developed.  We went to another that less developed.
This is a well in the middle of town.  The woman is cleaning vegetables.
There's that mountain.
A Na Xi woman walks with her child.
This area is call Si Fang Square.  Here it is shown at night.  The many parts of the town are decorated like this.  It is quite a festive atmosphere.
