Heilongtan Suocui Bridge: Capture the reflection of Yulong Snow Mountain in the early morning, and the composition of the ancient bridge and pavilion is like an ink painting.
🌟Friendly reminder
The ultraviolet rays on the plateau are strong, so SPF50+ sunscreen, sunglasses and moisturizer are necessary;
The snowy mountains are at a high altitude, so bring an oxygen bottle with you (it is cheaper to buy in the city);
Respect Naxi culture, avoid touching the Dongba characters on the eaves, and avoid stepping on the threshold.
Lijiang, a thousand-year-old ancient city awakening to the sound of tea, horses and camel bells, is waiting for you to appreciate the code of time on the stone road! 🏮✨#Lijiang Ancient Town #Lijiang Tourism #Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain #Lijiang Travel Guide
