[quote=BOBERT,380271]Point taken SYOUNG. Contrived might have been a better adjective than "glitzy". It's certainly not Las Vegas but it's not Yellowstone Park either. I thought the nightly bonfire dancing would have been better suited to Disneyland, but I confess it was still colourful and entertaining. The candle lit paper boats floating down the artificial canals and the endless trinket shops only added to the surreal atmosphere. I agree the ethnic Naxi are not TOTALLY false. However they are becoming well educated in the benefits of relieving tourists of their money as opposed to more meaningful employment. They are not in the same league as India yet, but they are learning fast. To be honest I found that a bit sad. I felt slightly uncomfortable and embarrassed in Lijiang, much as I do when visiting a zoo. The ubiquitous Chinese tour groups with their flags and matching T shirts didn't help my melancholy. They are incongruous and inexplicable, but that's China.[/quote]
