Description
There are thirteen peaks on Jade Dragon Mountain, rising to 5000 meters above the city of Lijiang, in Yunnan province, China. The city is 2400 meters high, but is far enough south and close enough to the ocean to stay warm.
It's the only place I've ever visited that can compete with Northern California (where I live) for its beauty, charm, and perfect climate.
The large, round-topped building is the new art museum, which also highlights the local peoples' unique ideographic written language.
This image was captured an hour past dawn, out my hotel-room window.
