Lijiang Old Town

"Lijiang City" Lijiang
(A city at an altitude of about 2,400 meters above sea level, the weather is cold all year round. Lijiang)
The old city of Lijiang has a stone-paved walkway, ancient Chinese wooden buildings, a stream that flows through almost every house, an old stone arch bridge, willows along the stream whose branches sway in the wind, and each street

In the old city area, you will meet at the square market "Sifangjia", the center of trade and purchase of goods for the townspeople and travelers. All of this has made the small city of Lijiang

a world cultural heritage, certified by UNESCO in 1997.

In China, it has a history dating back more than 800 years and used to be a trading point for goods along the old Tea Horse route. This old city area is famous for its many canals and bridges, so much so that it is called the "Venice of the East". Its architecture, history, and culture are different from other ancient cities in China, as it is a city where the Naxi or Naxi people have settled since ancient times.

Plus, there are many alleys to walk through, with small streams flowing all the way.

The atmosphere is beautiful and very shady. And this place is several times bigger than the ancient city of Shangri-La. You can't even walk around it in an hour. I'll tell you, most of the things they sell are shawls, shirts, scarves, bracelets, necklaces, key chains, magnets, and many more.
