Merchandise in the old towns of Dali and Lijiang, in Yunann Province, China, is colourful and tempting. Lijiang is a Unesco World Heritage site with an altitude of 2,500 meteres above sea level. It can get cold at night, even in summer. Both towns are popular with young Chinese travellers, particularly on the weekends, when they come to party and shop. The cobblestoned streets are closed to traffic, making the evening promenade a pleasant experience. An appealing travel challenge from Ailsa this week.
ALMOST ITALIAN

Belle immagini, Francesca. I’ve never seen tea packed in that way; did you buy it?

yes, so many tea shops pack the special regional teas this way. Tea shops everywhere, with locals sampling expensive teas, costing more tgan a fine brunello in Italy.
