Lijiang Old Town

#yunnanspots Lijiang Old Town is truly full of history and charm! The streets are lined with ancient cobblestone paths and well-preserved wooden houses, making you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. The small shops are abundant, and you can pop into any café or restaurant to taste authentic Naxi cuisine. In the evening, the lighting on the ancient buildings gives the town a romantic vibe. Don’t miss the hustle and bustle of Sifang Street or the traditional music performances—it’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in Naxi culture and the unique atmosphere of Lijiang!
