The beautiful old towns of Dali, Shuhe and Lijiang

Many who visited Yunnan province, southwest of China will mostly put Dali and Lijiang into their itinerary. Here are some photos which I took during my trip to Yunnan in May. I will, in particular, recommend the small old town of Shuhe 束河 to anyone who wish to have a relaxing and quiet vacation in a beautiful and serene place.
