Wandering Through Lijiang Old Town

📍 Lijiang Old Town, Yunnan Province, China

✨ Lijiang Old Town is a beautifully preserved ancient town with cobblestone streets, flowing canals, and traditional Naxi architecture. It feels like stepping into a storybook, especially in the soft glow of the evening lanterns.

✨ The town is filled with charming teahouses, handicraft shops, and local eateries. You can spend hours just strolling, browsing for souvenirs, or sipping tea by the water.

✨ One of the highlights is the view from Wangu Tower on Lion Hill, where you can see the rooftops of the old town stretch out toward the mountains.

✨ Lijiang also has a lively cultural scene, with traditional Naxi music performances and local artisans weaving or painting right on the streets.

✨ Try visiting early in the morning or later in the evening to enjoy a quieter atmosphere before or after the tour groups. Wear comfy shoes—those cobblestone streets are beautiful but bumpy!
