The Old Town of LiJiang is a magical place. The town has never been walled since trade was always welcome. It still is.
There are so many shops lining the narrow, winding alleys. The sound and fragrance of water flowing through the canals lining the streets is
lovely. You can see silversmiths and weavers sitting in the narrow shops. It is fun to see so many colourful and beautiful articles.
One picture shows the rooftops of the Old Town viewed from a pagoda on a hill.
Another is of a silversmith at work.
Then there are the pictures of buying scarves. The Naxi woman was very fun and I thought that her work was even and excellent.
We tried to return the next day to purchase more scarves, but she was closed for the day. Lily, she is the one who made my
new pink scarf look great. Through our guide she said that the colour was too bright for her, at her age. I decided that it wasn't
too bright for me.
