Lijiang -- The Most Romantic Town in Yunnan

Da Yan

Lijiang is a prefecture-level city of Yunnan, China. There are many famous tourist attractions, such as Yulong Snow Mountain, Lugu Lake, Da Yan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, Tiger Leaping Gorge, etc.

Lijiang is an ancient town and people there are living with a very leisurely pace. There are many minorities in Yunnan and all of them are very plain, simple and honest. Shuhe Ancient Town is much quieter than Da Yan and you’d better book a hotel there if you want to have a nice sleep at night.

Lugu lake

Most visitors say that Lijiang is a good place to read a book with light music under the sunshine. To visit Lijiang is to get rid of busy life and have a good rest. However, the problem is that the sun is very hot at noon so you’d better well protect your skin with sunblock in advance.

You also can watch a performance named “Lijiang Impression” which was directed by Zhang Yimou on the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. You can know a lot of Lijiang culture after you watch this grand show.
