Last (shopping) day in Lijiang

We woke up late in the morning and had an excellent breakfast at N's Kitchen.
The sun was out, and the view from the near by window had an incredible lighting.



We roamed the streets and bought a cool chopsticks set, as well as several beautiful other presents for family and friends.
We stopped to eat lunch at one of the street stalls. A lady prepared delicious dumplings with a side dish - LAG BAOMER potatoes!



It looks like everyone in Lijiang is so talent. Its not only that there are a huge amount of shops selling stuff. The shop owners are also the ones who produce these stuff, whether it is paintings, wood carvings, bells, jewelery,...

We took some pictures of a portrait art gallery for Maayan's mother:


We lost our way and found the Three Pit Well. In ancient times the first was used for drinking, the second for washing food and the third for laundry. Nowadays, only the second one is used to wash vegetables.


And here is yet another talented person playing a local Sitar-like instrument:



That's it. Tomorrow we take a flight from Lijiang to Xian, where we'll see the famous Terracotta warriors.
