Wagulu temple
After we slept late, we were back in the old town navigating through the canals, bridges and wooden shop-houses of Lijiang.
In the morning, we kicked back near the Wagulu temple which offers a stunning view of the whole city and it maze-like layout.
Shuhe Old Town
We boarded a public bus to Shuhe as we like the village the day before. After browsing the shops selling the local specialities including copper-work, wood carving and leatherwork, we visited the tea trade road museum. Not the best but as it suddenly started to rain, it provided a nice shelter.
Departing Lijiang
As the rain stopped, we returned to the Lijiang for an early dinner. Our last sleeper train in China was departing tonight. We splurged ourselves with a VIP cabin!
