Default Glimpses of Lijiang, trip to southwest China

I'd like to share with you few shot I took in Lijiang, Yunnan province, China where I spent a week on a trip with my family last october.

Lijiang is an old town with a pedestrian center. There are lot of tourists but it's easy to avoid the crowd by following the narrow streets and streams.

Look at this cute little girl in minority costume:

Lijiang is the home of Naxi minority, Naxis are still hanging around the city:

Hope you enjoyed this little virtual trip !!!

really some great colors, they are perfectly vibrant.

Was that from post production, or are these straight from the cam?

thanks
