China is not all what we expected and trust me, as a couple of Americans, we certainly had some reservations about trekking through the country without a real plan. An Unbelievable Town in Ancient China. Lijiang’s Waterways. Coffee Culture in Yunnan. Hiking Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier. Live Music, Local Food & Fuzzy Animals. Pu’er Tea and the Tea Horse Road. Cobblestone Streets and Intriguing Artists. The Naxi People of Lijiang Yunnan. Hiking Tiger Leaping Gorge. Sunset Streets & Shopping in Old Lijiang. Night Lights & Incredible Ambience (Shopping and Street Food). Lijiang’s Last Grandma. Lijiang Comes Alive at Night.
