Two sisters Ana?lle and Ana?s, French bloggers, recently had an unforgettable encounter with Naxi ethnic music at Jiefeng Lou (Welcome Pavilion) in the Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan province. There, the He Wenguang family, a four-generation household of folk artists, moved them deeply with timeless melodies.

The ladies didn't just listen quietly. They picked up traditional instruments, joined in an impromptu cross-cultural jam session and even sent out a heartfelt invitation in authentic Naxi language: "Welcome to Lijiang!"
