麗江的東巴谷景區是這天的第二個景點。東巴谷位於玉龍雪山腳下，是個在造山運動中形成的斷裂谷。這裡是納西族的東巴文化之發源地，東巴文字也是現世唯一還活著的象形文字。這景區不大，主要介紹東巴文化和裸美樂大峽谷的景色。我們在雨中匆匆地走完景區，全程不到一個小時。

麗江古城，又名大研鎮，是座歷史悠久、沒有圍牆的古城，已被列為世界文化遺產之一。城裡四處小橋流水，街上不是商店，就是餐廳酒吧，再來就是客棧酒店。這裡大多數店家都有漢字和東巴象形文字的招牌，英文招牌名字就別太認真看，有的全是漢語拼音，有的翻譯得讓人搖頭，不然就是讓人笑掉大牙。房子建築方面，外觀極有古味，屋頂的懸魚多為單魚或雙魚，還有很多東巴圖騰的大小木雕藝術品等等，讓人駐足欣賞的東西實在太多。所以，我們在古城裡不知不覺就逛了幾個小時，直到夜深了才打車回酒店休息。
Lijiang Ancient Town, or Dayan Town, is one fo the UNESCO world heritages with more than 800 years history. In this beautiful old town, we met everywhere something that represents local culture, mainly Dongba culture, such as buildings, decorations, woodcrafts, arts, music etc. We spent hours, till late evening, to enjoy the beauty of this wonderful town.
