Na Xi minority nationality (纳西少数民族) women are well known for hard work. Na means 'dark skin' and Xi means 'ethnic group'.
Photo 1 - The Na Xi old lady carries a basket laden with pastries and bread on her back (a common backpack in Lijiang, possibly from the local tea growing and picking tradition). Two Han shop attendants were buying their afternoon snacks from the old lady.
Photo 2 - A younger Na Xi woman with her son asleep on her back was doing her rounds collecting recycled cardboard in her trishaw.
