--I began my trip down along the Lancang river, the tempestuousness of the water not really in harmony with the quiet green valley. Zonglu (@1700m)was the first township market I came across, madeshift stands blocked the narrow street, actually...traffic police help stopped big trucks pass through during daytime on market day, no wonder there was long line of waiting trucks on both side of the town. Although the town was small but the market was lively. Lisu totally dominated the market, And here you could seen more women in costume and with more details, more colourful waist belt, one woman even wore a hat instead of the usual black turban.
 
Although the local said there was Naxi, Yi and even Miao, but you wouldn't know it as they all dressed in Han. In one corner of the market many people sit around with a bowl in hand, drinking some brownish liquid, "this is paojiu" they said and offered me some to tasted, sour mingled with burned wood charcoal favour, interesting taste I would say. the woman told me it was made from plum, took about 10 days to prepare, perhaps it was because market are every 10 days I guess! "no alcohol "she said, 1 kuai for bowl and I took 1. Squating together with all those folk I feel like in a open bar, and bottom-up was the least requirements! "drink up!" the woman ordered!
 
Further down the Lancang river is Weideng(@1700m) market, it was bigger then Zonglu and the valley was wider, you could see the same traders from yesterday but different local folks, same system to blocked heavy transportation from both end of the town, same dominated by Lisu and same busy, only it was raining today.
 
Bus connection down to Lanping area was every 2 days, it would be tomorrow then, but luckily there was a truck going down to Zongpai(@1800m) in Lanping region on the market day, and I was happy to move further down river. The road although not that bad in condition but was rather narrow, in one curve our driver almost drove us down the cliff into the Lancang when a minibus appeared around the corner. Scare the shit out of me!
 
During my wandering in Weideng, I find a stone tablet by a steel hanging bridge, the words on the tablet said tye bridge was sponsored by a Hongkong citizen Mr Chan single handed, the amount was about 620000 yuans, Mr Chan face had been engraved on the stone, even his address in HK, it was rather strange. Anyways...I was proud of him even I'd got nothing to do with it. The message also said Mr Chan had been 6 times in this area, and did a lot of help to the local communities, what a remote place for a HK citizen to visited!

Drive further south along the Mekong River to Biaocun(±í´å£©Lisu Ethnic Township.

--"only 25km" the local told me the distant between Zongpai to Shideng, look at my map, it was the shorter distant between 2 township along this Lancang trip that I could attempted by foot! So I deliberate slept through the bus departure time yesterday morning, gave myself no excuse or temptation to buy my way with vehicle. even the sky supported me with a sunny sky. The walk was simple, followed the Lancang, but most of the time I was being lead inside by the shape of the mountain, not much spectacular sight asvwhat I had hoping to see, but the walk was a refreshingly good exercise to me, it took me 6 hours to arrived at Shideng(@2000m). Same like all the town in the area, room rate from 60 to 100, but still those tinted wall with moisted marked and unclean mattress, who would pay or afforded for a room in this price in a small town like this? The answer came right away when I saw those signs of KTV and massage... The MAN!
 
Weather wasn't that good yhis morning and the marjet wouldn't got much business until 10, seem like a bit difficult to kept on the Lancang river trip as the road condition could be rough, I might just switch back inland and go down to Yunlong later on. Beside...the minority scene was monotonously, only Lisu and Bai mostly of the time, by studied the official info, still the same people populated the Lancang further down river. need some change!
