Between the sky and the earth

If you r travelling in Lijiang, of course u will go to the Ancient City (古城). But among the shops, bars and foot corts there are some hidden treasures, that you might want to explore.

💛 There is one called Tian Di Yuan (天地院).
What's cool about it? In this place you can see the cultural heritage of the Naxi etnicity. Not only stuff in two exhibition halls, but also watch the performance of locals, listen to unique Naxi songs and music, watch them dancing. There was a woman who was playing music using the leaf from the tree. Not just wisteling, but really playing on it. That was quite impressive. Plus there is a translator, who translated all the lyrics into Putong hua.
