So we were travelling by bus once again and despite of the newest bus station in Zhongdian the bus was still built for the old Chinese size, which means that for most of them and particularly for Peter there was no room for the legs.

Kegong tower
This nice tower marks the entrance to the market square the most touristy place in Lijiang
Typical postcard picture
You should see all the young Chinese with their state of the art photo equipment lining up to take some pictures. Stephan nearly developed an inferiority complex
Naxi women
Probably one of the few real local residents
What a wonderful dress
and you could put it on and have your picture taken for no more than 10 Yuans

Another postcard photo from Lijiang

White marble bridge
Definitively the most attractive sight within the Black Dragon Pool Park
Chinese pavilions
All around the park there are some nice little pavilions to provide shade against the sun our protection against the rain
Klaudia in the park
If the water had been a bit warmer nothing could have stopped her to go swimming
