What to do in one day in Lijiang Old Town?

#TravelChina

This ancient city, a World Heritage Site, is over 800 years old and nestled amidst a valley. The streets are lined with ancient wooden houses, paved with cobblestones, and are connected to a canal flowing from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The atmosphere feels like you've stepped into a period drama from a Chinese TV series. Walking around, admiring the culture and architecture here is truly beautiful. This city is a charming place, with its unique lifestyle, local attractions, and food. There are also shops that rent traditional costumes for photo opportunities. You'll often see people wearing traditional costumes taking photos along the old town. We've been to Lijiang twice and are still impressed.
