Below are extracts from the diary that he kept.April 20thIve been in Yunnan for two months now and Im still astonished by how varied the landscape is. Down in the south, in Xishuangbanna, its very tropical, but here I am in Lijiang, in northwest Yunnan. Lijiang is half new town and half old town. The old town is on the side of a mountain and opposite it is the 5,500 metre Yulong Xueshan Mountain, its peak covered with snow. The sky is clear blue and I dont think Ive ever seen anything else so beautiful in my life.Early this morning I walked up to a beautiful park on the slopes of the mountain, and sat and watched as the town slowly woke up to the day. Seen from above, the old town is a maze of canals, little bridges and tiny cobbled streets that tourists get lost in. Three rivers run through the city and wherever you go, you hear the sound of rushing water. Cars are not allowed in the old town. As you walk past the ancient wooden and stone houses, you feel you are walking back into the past.April 23rdThis region is where the Naxi ethnic group live and Ive spent several afternoons sitting in a caf in the old town square, just watching people. Their culture is fascinating. For example, it is the women who run Naxi society, and until recently, Naxi women inherited all property. They sit in small circles in the square, with their babies on their backs, completely uninterested in the tourists! They have the custom of playing cards on card tables in the middle of the street. The Naxi still wear traditional costume the women wear blue blouses and trousers covered by a blue or black apron.This afternoon I was lucky enough to meet a Naxi man from the old town. He was between 80 and 90 years old, but was full of energy. He spoke some English and showed me some translations of Naxi poems. It was fascinating to read them! The Naxi language is the only hieroglyphic language still in use and is over 1,000 years old. The Naxi believe that they came from a creature called Tabu, who helped them hatch from magic eggs. This story is shown in pictures in books put together in the 10th century, and there are still a few copies of these ancient books in Lijiang.April 25thLijiang is a city of painters and writers, but Naxi culture is particularly famous for its music. Passed from father to son, the music has not changed for eight centuries, and among the richer Naxi people, knowledge of this music showed that you were a real gentleman. Ive just returned from a performance of the Naxi Orchestra. It took place in an old wooden hall, and was played by Naxi men, some of whom looked as if they were well over 100 years old! They played ancient songs, songs with names such as The Water Dragon Is Singing, Wind from the River and The Sheep on
