束河
A nice town out of Li Jiang. It is much quieter than Li Jiang but still has a fair share of tourists. Things sold in Shu He can be cheaper than Li Jiang if you know how to bargain. There are many silver jewellery shops. But for a tourist without training, it is difficult to identify which are good silver.
I tried the beef skews which cost 10 yuan for 3 skews. The beef is from local yaks. It is the best food I have tried in Shu He. The rest of the food I tried have too much msg for my liking. I have tried the skews twice and in both times, I have shared some with dogs looking pretty much in a hungry state. The skews are available on street hawkers, it is therefore important to look for one that barbecue the meat well and has a high turn over.
I stayed in Maple Inn in Shu He which has a wonderful owner who will help tourists with travelling plans and any trouble faced along the way. The Inn is about 500 m from Shu He main gate which means there is less inconvenient to carry your luggage to inner Shu He. Reservation was made through Booking.com. Kudos to Will and Anna.
