The morning wakes, Lijiang and finally a village loafers: the streets are completely empty at 8am ! But a small morning walk is required, there are people who settled near the market, and gradually we see the residents and tourists begin to wander around.

After that, we start from outside the city looking for a mini-bus from the mountain, because obviously I want to go do my walk away up there (need for adventure as always). We found our driver and we went far away, about 1 hour trip to get there.

Once there, we are very close to Tibet, and ... just full of Tibetans living in the vicinity. Women have a funny head, very tanned and ruddy cheeks! Really super cool heads. We take the eggs to reach the very top of the mountain ...

Upstairs, there is a Tibetan who is a kind of scarf, weed I know not how to explain exactly but she braids with his son and drooling is not very clean, but a priori it is a technique that works very well ! One advantage of being there to make a grand tour around the summit. Once again, I found the same feeling as the previous day ... feel strange to be in the Pyrenees! They later crossed a kind of fat cow full of hair and with beautiful horns on his head (at the same time she could not have them on the buttocks). For me it is Merely a yak black and white, the Chinese call it more simply a hairy cow ...

At right is a Chinese chess game, the real name is? (xiangqi or "failure of elephants"). The game consists of a general (= king), 5 soldiers (= pieces), 2 mandarins, 2 elephants, 2 horses (jumpers =), 2 chariots (= turns) and 2 guns. One can see a space in the middle of the spectrum is the river, and crosses represent the palace. The rules are somewhat in the same style as for chess, but a little more complicated ...

On the way home, the mini bus we stopped at several places, so a temple decorated with very strange. On son clothes are old underwear broken and trash bags. In fact it Naxi how to make donations: the bags were filled with fruit and underwear on one side represent femininity and masculinity on the other, all making the offering a spiritual act in its deepest sense. Not ... I actually say anything, and besides I have not really understood why there were these bits of tissue around ! The driver takes us as a priceless jewelery (I wonder how they manage to sell green wristbands at the cost of a Chinese car), but it's good for the driver for what we buy something or not he wins € 1! That's happiness.

Back in Lijiang, nightfall, it was a good restaurant (it fail, the restaurants are really good and also cheap), and then a nice bar with good cocktails and a bottle of vodka in the couples (eh yeah, Absolut is really everywhere).
