🍂 Lijiang Old Town in Late Autumn

As the golden hues of autumn settle over Lijiang, the ancient town transforms into a breathtaking canvas of warm colors and soft light. The maple and ginkgo trees lining the canals and streets turn brilliant shades of red, amber, and gold. Wooden rooftops and stone bridges are softly dusted with fallen leaves, adding rustic charm. The air is crisp and clear, carrying a gentle, earthy scent mixed with the faint aroma of wood smoke from traditional hearths. Late autumn brings long, golden afternoons, perfect for capturing the intricate wooden architecture glowing warmly in the sunset. Early mornings feature a delicate mist hovering over the canals, adding a dreamlike quality to the cobblestone alleys. #awesomepic

Old Town of Lijiang

Very nice #luxuryhotel with amazing views onto the snow mountain in Lijiang. The location is very good for daily excursion and exploring the nearby ancient village which many food opportunities. Also the food in the hotel (ordered room service) is very tasty yet the breakfast can be very crowded. You may want to avoid peak times in order to enjoy a calm morning. The rooms are spacious and some have a plunge pool. We stayed in a two bedroom villa with a beautiful courtyard garden and small heated pool. The interior is a bit dated but still very clean! I would definitely go back #newphotographer#awesomepic#couplestrip

Never visit Lijiang in July! Unless you want all your worries to be "burned away" by torches
