We were staying in the old town so after putting our bags at the hostel we went to walk around a little bit to get some food before we took a nap.
We found a great place that had a second floor so we could see the roofs and beyond of the old town. the food was also very good.
We ate so much food and would go there many more times.
After our nap we walked around some more and found this river running through the town. there were many streams that basically ran all throughout the town. Chopstick woman enjoying some wantons which we had for an afternoon snack/lunch.
Dessert! so delicious. i had them (dragon tails) for the first time in taiwan so we decided to get them again so shannon could try them. anne shen and dwang were waiting to capture shannon making a mess while she ate it. unfortunately/fortunately she made no mess. so no good photo of her eating it.
On the other hand, Dwang and anne were caught in the midst of enjoying their dessert.
It was cool to see some of the jewelers designing the bracelets and engraving them. Also this is a picture of the how packages get delivered. the UPS of china.
There were a lot of really cool things/souvenirs in lijiang. it was the first time that i had seen a lot of things that i wanted to buy for people. dwang with a large wind-chime. one of the food stands had this cool contraption that i would later that evening discover produced delicious dough-ie balls with walnuts in them.
in one of the squares in old town. dwang with the feature sculpture she would like in her new apartment.
we also came across an old windmill made from wood. we were trying to make our way to the black dragon pool which was just outside of the old town.
after seeing the black dragon pool we walked back to our hostel but got to also see lijiang's old town at night. very pretty with all the lights from the buildings. we also got a glimpse into the nightlife of lijiang. lijiang is known to be a place to kick back, relax, and party at night.
this time on the way back we did lots of shopping. we had seen most of old town at this point and knew what we wanted to get.
we also decided to have street food for dinner. this street food was cool because it was rice that was cooked inside bamboo.
after enjoying some street food we tried to find our way back to our hostel but we got lost. so we made some friends along the way who tried to help us. eventually we learned that they were also knew to town and were looking for an atm but we enjoyed their company for a while.
