LiJiang Old Town

Lijiang Old Town, also known as Dayan Town, is one of the famous towns on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Film and television dramas such as “One Meter of Sunshine” and “The Wind and Cloud in the Wooden House” have been filmed here. In the ancient city, there are wooden buildings with blue tiles, ancient streets with stone alleys, small bridges and flowing water. Standing on the east street of the ancient city, you can look at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from afar. The scenery is very beautiful.

The ancient city of Lijiang is built on the hills, and its streets and alleys are built on the water. It used to be a trading market on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Four main roads, Guangyi Street, Qiyi Street, Wuyi Street and Xinhua Street, extend from Sifang Street in the ancient city, and these four roads give rise to criss-cross streets and alleys, forming the ancient city centered on Sifang Street. The Mutusi Wangfu Mufu, which was praised by Xu Xiake back then, is located near the gate of Qiyi Street, where you can feel the connotation of Naxi ethnic architecture.

The water of the Yuhe River is divided into three parts in the city, nine parts in three parts, and then divided into countless canals, forming a situation where the main street is next to the river and the alleys are next to the canal, making the ancient city full of vitality.

The ancient city is full of shops selling local specialties, such as ethnic ornaments, tea, silverware, shawls, etc. In addition, there are many restaurants here, whether it is local flavor or western pizza, everything can satisfy you.
