A Language That Looks Like Art
In Lijiang, writing can look like a collection of tiny paintings. 📜
Dongba script, traditionally used by the Naxi people, uses pictographic symbols inspired by people, animals, nature and everyday life.
Look for it on signs, handmade paper and cultural displays throughout the old town.
For a more meaningful souvenir, visit a Dongba cultural studio and learn the story behind a symbol before taking it home.
It’s more memorable than another fridge magnet—and much harder to explain at airport security. 😉
