Today we visited Lijiang (Dayan), a majority etnia Naxi (matriarchal community). To be able to access the old city you have to pay some tickets, in the hostel some girls  left us 3 of other visitors and we promised to return them when we left, we bought the rest. You have to show them at each of the entrances or exits.

We woke up in the quiet village of Naxi, today it is clearer although the clouds cover the nearby peaks. We make our way back to the entrance of the park and go to the road to wait for a bus to take us to our next destination, Lijiang.

We get up early to get to the bus station, our next destination Quiaotou, there we start the trekking through the Tiger Leaping Gorge (according to the Chinese tradition a tiger escaped from a hunter by jumping the mighty river). It is a huge natural gorge with breathtaking views located in the Yulong Xueshan National Park.
