2010 - China (6) Yunnan: Dali (c) Shops

Dali



A little distance from the temple park is a town with crenelated walls.



A gate leads the tourists into town through a thick wall. The town inside has many shops.



The shops were owned by Bai and Yi minorities. The second floor are storage area and also for living accommodation.



The above photo shows a silversmith working on ornaments sold in the store.



Above is another craftsman in action.



I was more interested in local fruits. I bought some mandarin oranges and green-color but ripe plums. It was wonderful that I could communicate with a vendor halfway around the world in the middle of China.
