All the main city buses in Lijiang recently got a new makeover, which included the following Naxi and Chinese characters sprayed onto the fronts and backs of each bus:
The Chinese here is Lijiang Gongjiao 丽江公交; simply Lijiang (丽江) public transport (gongjiao 公交 – short for gonggong jiaotong 公共交通). The Naxi Dongba script utilised here however is particularly interesting as it involves the coining of a new pictographic character for the word ‘public transportation’.
