Li Jiang #4

There is a high, snow covered mountain north of Li Jiang, and it is the centre of a National Park.  A tram

takes tourists to the top to see the glacier, etc.  The view was great on Snow Mountain.

A word about the food.

The cuisine in this area is salty and tasty.  Do you know when you are coaxed into having some meat, because it "tastes

just like beef," but never does?  Well, I can attest that yak meat, for once, is something that does taste just like beef.  We enjoyed

it a few times.  Every meal was delicious, even up the Yangtze valley where we ate with meat curing just outside the window.
