Yunnan: Shuhe
Near the entrance to the AAAA grade tourist attraction.
Shuhe is a small old city a ten minute drive from Lijiang.
A little kid wields chopsticks and a rice bowl.
Wei Wei is a really cool artist originally from Inner Mongolia but lately from Xiamen.
She had been visiting friends in Shuhe for the last month, so we came to co-visit.

He's so husky, commanding, and alert. Ay, a fine captain!
The sparkling canals bubbling through town have their origin at this waterway.

Drumming, Drinking, and Dancing with Shi San, a Tibetan friend.
His is the house of fire and music.
Shi San is sure rocking those horns behind him.
When he takes of his glasses, Shi San reveals that he has lovely eyes.
When his hair is lifted up, it is revealed that Trevor indeed has a neck.
