The break of day reveals an ancient Chinese town located in Lijiang, Shangri-La, Yunnan, China. The cobbled stone alley-way features classic architecture, wood and iron facades, a property with a hotel, restaurant, and place of worship, and a residential area filled with homes. The clear sky and sun shine off the road surface, trees, and vegetation. A shrine, temple, and other infrastructure are visible down the small road and straight down the alley-way.
