Quick thoughts and updates:
- Lijiang’s old city is gorgeous. It’s the nicest (and cleanest) city I’ve seen in China yet. Very little pollution, no cars in the old city, and cool architecture
- Chinese tourists outnumber foreign tourist by at least 10:1
- Unfortunately, both my mom and I caught a fever and cold while in Hunan; we spend most of yesterday resting and reading. It also rained most of yesterday too, so we didn’t actually miss much.
- There was a bit of sunshine this morning, but it’s started to rain again this afternoon. I haven’t gotten a clear view of the mountains yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
That’s all! I won’t have pictures for a while, perhaps only after I return to the US at the end of the month.
