Mu Palace (木府; Mùfǔ). The palace where the Mu Clan of the Naxi people ruled for over 400 years. It is a large complex that extends part way up the hill behind it. At the top is a Daoist temple, with a few Daoists ready to give fortunes to visitors for a donation. A taste of Mulaoye Wine (木老爷酒; Mùlǎoyejiǔ), a kind of local alcohol, is available for ¥5 (in a shot glass), and there is also a free tea tasting area. Allow at least 2 hours to walk explore this expansive complex and do wander off into the side courtyards as it will take you back to the main courtyards. If you are visiting Wangulou, exit the Lion Hill Park from the south exit which leads you right into the back entrance of Mu Palace. Entry fee is ¥45 (May 200909), and the non-posted student price is ¥20.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山; Yùlóngxuě Shān), (15km from Lijiang. Mules can be rented from the nearby Baisha Village or you can take a cable car to the top. Prices vary for the mules depending on what elevation you want to go to. ¥180 to ride to 3800 meters plus ¥5 for insurance. ¥300 to 4200 meters. ¥350 to 4600 meters. If you pay for the lowest elevation you might be able to bargain with the handlers when you reach the end and continue to the higher elevations for a lower price. Passengers over 100 kg might have to pay a surcharge. Tickets for the cable car cost ¥170 round-trip). A mountain massif (also identified as a small mountain range) visible from Lijiang and capped all year round. Its highest peak is Shanzidou (扇子陡; Shānzidǒu) at 5,596m. The view of the massif from the gardens at the Black Dragon Pool in Lijiang is noted as one of China's finest views. The far side of the mountain forms one side of Tiger Leaping Gorge (虎跳峡; Hǔtiàoxiá). Entrance to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain ¥190, which only seems to be collected when entering from the Lijiang end.
Black Dragon Pool (黑龙潭; Hēilóngtán), (About 1 km from Square Street). 8AM-5PM. Free, but you have to show your receipt of the Old Town Preservation, which is costs ¥80.
丽江经验教训：
1、昆明到丽江的车太久了, 坐飞机，从昆明到丽江，每天有很多班。
2、去新城去吃 - 七星街的罗非鱼，火腿鸡，长水路上的带皮黑山羊、象山市场的腊排骨等等都很好吃。
3、在丽江可以在客栈里找到很多同行的朋友的，可以相约一起包车去玩，比较省钱。
4、上玉龙雪山大索道, 在海拔高的地方，一定不能剧烈运动，不然很容易高原反应。
丽江的收获：
1、当地的工艺品 - 披肩什么的，都非常便宜；买松茸等云南特产的菌类，做汤喝，味道还真是好。
2、在丽江住了两家客栈不错，一家叫“德丰大宝”客栈，是几个喜欢旅游的年轻人开的。客栈的院子实在是漂亮，典型的纳西族建筑风格，房间也非常漂亮，卫生间用的是透明的玻璃设计，很适合蜜月，他们有个自己的网站，http://www.timeinns.com/，大家可以去看看。还有一家叫“云阁居”客栈，客栈有一条非常可爱的小狗皮皮，眼睛很大，一副很聪明的样子。云阁居在狮子山上，看风景比较好，从观景房往外看，整个古城都在眼前铺开。
3、在酒吧学会了当地“拉歌”的后缀：“亚索，亚索，亚亚索……”觉得挺有意思的。据说他们当地纳西族的人，生下来会走路就会跳舞，会说话就会唱歌，挺神奇的。在酒吧街看到了几个当地人，长得很想蒲巴甲，挺帅的。听说酒吧街艳遇特别多，不知道是真是假。
4、去拉市海那边骑马走山路，感受茶马古道。确实不一样！拉市海其实就是一个大湖，湖水非常清澈，荡舟湖上，远眺群山，十分惬意。玩拉市海，比玩雪山轻松。而且在拉市海也能看见雪山。

Sydney Beaches
Palm Beach, about 14 miles north of Manly (1hr drive) and known as "Palmie," is locally considered the jewel of the northern beaches. Its beautiful remoteness s the reason celebs have chosen to buy holiday homes here, and visitors tend to be equally flush.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Beach,_New_South_Wales
http://www.palmbeachbandb.com.au/palmbeach/maplarge.html - Detailed Map
Manly, about seven miles north of Sydney via a half-hour ferry ride from Circular Quay or by car from the city center, looks and feels like a holiday resort. The Corso, the main street that connects the beach with the harborside ferry wharf, is lined with boutiques and alfresco cafes.
Bondi, Australia's most famous beach, is about four miles from the city center. Finding a parking spot among the surrounding cafes and surf-wear shops is nearly impossible, but if you come early you can stake out a spot on the half-moon of golden sand and settle in for a day of the best swimming, sunning, and people-watching in Sydney.
A mile or so farther south is Coogee, a sort of mini-Bondi that's increasingly popular with the young, good-looking backpacker set. There's not much surf here, so it also attracts families with young children.
