Mondays and Tuesdays are my days off, my virtual weekends. I took advantage of that fact on Tuesday and took a walk from my apartment to the older part of town and back. Walking is my sole mode of transportation for now and I enjoy it always. Here are some of the sights I saw.
This is the Yuxi Museum, which is just down the street from my apartment. Haven’t been in there yet–maybe next Monday. 
I then headed south into the older part of the city. There is a temple there that is small but quite nice. 
There are other examples of classic Chinese architecture in this part of town.
This part of town has many blocks of older streets lined with one- and two-story retail shops. Given the rapid pace of urbanization here, I would not be surprised to return to Yuxi in four years and find much of this gone.
The walk back to my side of town took me through some of the nicest commercial streets in Yuxi.
