Lijiang, China - Headwaters of the Yangtze River

Sunday August 17, 2003
The city of Lijiang, in China's Yunnan Province, is in rare company. It is one of the few cities in the world with a population of over one million people at an elevation of more than a mile above sea level. And Lijiang has a long history. It is the ancient seat of Dongba Culture. The city's ethnic Naxi people still live that culture.
