Lijiang and more of Dali

This area of the Yunnan province has about 5 different ethnic groups and many people travel to the mountain city of Lijiang to see the Naxia peoople, one of the last matriarchical societies in the world. Chinese and Western alike flock there because of the so called "free love" or open relationships that the Naxia women have; women make all the major decisions, own the property, and are in charge of the children. I guess the only real difference is that at least here in Yunnan they acknowledge what is true everywhere else...women rule!!
