I’m stuck in my Lijiang folder so here’s another one from there. You can’t talk about China without mentioning the food. Chinese eat almost everything that one can digest. And the variety of food changes as you go from provence to provence. Street food in particular is a fun experience. There is always something interesting you can pick up on the corner. Chicken feet seemed to be quite popular.
Lijiang is a place with lots of history and is mostly known for its cute, very Chinese city center. Its streets are probably how an average foreigner imagines old China must have looked like. Evidently it’s a place packed with tourists, both foreign and local trying get a taste of an escaping part of China.
I’ve decided to make this week a China week. In my short time there I have managed to travel from east all the way to its western borders and back. It’s a massive country and only after having done the trip I’ve truly realized how massive and diverse it is. This is in Dunhuang, in the Gansu province. Dunhuang is a tiny city by Chinese standards and is a part of China where things seem to be going at a slower pace.
I passed by him as he was playing on the street for money. He had a very judgemental and aggressive expression, like he was angry with people for giving him money. Or maybe it was just an emotion that came with the song.
Zadar, Croatia has a very cool seawall around its city center. It’s not a very long walk but a very pleasant one, especially when the sun is going down.
