After our Dali experience, we decided that one full day in Lijiang was plenty. So, we started with a walking tour of the old town. We wandered through alleys and ended up on a dirt path that appeared to head up to the pagoda. It did get us to the pagoda and to the Palace, but there was no entry. 
We had a fairly awful dinner at Mama Fu’s and headed back to our spot by the market for cold beers. We once again ran into the Tibetan guy and his wife and had some interesting conversations. Then we headed back to our hotel for yet another frustrating encounter with their staff. We decided that we’re far better off at backpacker’s hotels.
So, we headed back down again, passing an obviously crazed guy laying in the middle of the path with his pants zipper pulled down and a banana in his pants- he gave us a leering grin and we quickly headed down the hill.
We finally found the Mu Mansion and wandered through the grounds. It was like being in a human scale version of the Forbidden City.
