Day 5 : Back to Zhongdian Old Town..

Day 5 : 30th June 2011

By late afternoon we decided to head back to the Zhongdian Old Town for the 'photographers' in our group to capture images of the town under the evening light.



natives in colourful costumes.. Tibetan?....

kids back from school...


llamas ( Buddhist monks) out on an evening stroll..



the town square with stalls hawking street food...
while pakdokter's partner and Ravee went around snapping pictures

pakdokter sat at one corner of the square and chatted up a young Ozzie boy from

Perth doing a PhD in Tibetan culture for Uni Western Australia

his girlfriend is a 'chic' from Hong Kong....

we found a clean cafe run by a pretty Tibetan lady...

so we stopped for refreshments....

the cafe owner recommended her friend's restaurant for dinner....





as the evening light fell the square was emptied of the hawkers

and became a dancing ground.....






the dance of all the tribes looked the same to pakdokter...
