The audience swells to more than twice the size of the first day's; ticket prices are slashed, and whole families from the environs of Lijiang turn up. Miao minority women in ornate, outsize headgear wander the periphery and look on curiously; sanitation workers move through the crowd picking up garbage with chopsticks.
