A good day in Lijiang

I've been wanting to visit Lijiang for a long time, and I finally got my wish.
This trip consisted of Kunming-Lijiang-Shangri-La-Dali-Kunming.
I wanted to spend a longer stay in Lijiang, so I ended up staying for three nights.
I started by choosing a hotel, looking at reviews on Trip.com. My main requirement was a room for four people, with comfortable seating and a place to chat. Luckily, I got what I wanted, and the atmosphere was great, quiet, and beautiful.
We stayed at Xiyun Academy Banshan Scenic Area (the Old Town of Lijiang Sifang Street Dashui Store).
On the first day, we arrived in the evening and walked to find dinner not far from the hotel. It was drizzling, so the stone paths in the old town were a bit slippery, so we had to be careful. My first meal in Lijiang was very impressive. The restaurant specializes in mushroom hot pot, but we ordered side dishes because we had just eaten hot pot in Kunming. Everything was delicious, especially the fried potatoes and mushroom fried rice. I gave it a thumbs up.
On the second day, we left early to visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Blue Moon Valley. We watched the Impression Lijiang show in the rain, took a scenic train ride, and then returned to the old town. Dinner was at a noodle shop near the hotel. The noodles were soft and the soup was rich.
On the third day, we visited the old town of Baisha, stopping at Yun Ti Yang Cafe. Then, we strolled back to the local market near the old town. There were lots of fruits and various kinds of dried mushrooms. From the market, we walked to the Mu Mansion to watch the evening performance. It was fun, with audience interaction and a walk through the various parts of the mansion. It was very interesting.
On the fourth day, we left early to go to Shangri-La.
