If you happen to be in Yunnan Province for the Tomb Sweeping holiday, then Lijiang is a must visit for sure. Lijiang Ancient Town is a UNESCO world heritage site and has a history going back more than 1,000 years. This city is also home to the Naxi Chinese ethnic minority and you can try the local cuisine which is mouth watering 🤤 I recommend going to Baisha village which is just a short ride away via public bus to get more local foods as well as hand crafted items! Honestly stepping into Lijiang felt like something out of a storybook, everywhere was absolutely stunning and photos don’t do the city justice. #yunnantravel #yunnan #lijiang #scenicspotguide#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel

Enchanting Yunnan: Lijiang, Dali & Shangri-La Highlights 🏔️⛩️🍃 Journey through Yunnan’s dreamscape with this three-city adventure—where ancient towns, alpine vistas, and Tibetan charm greet you at every turn! Start in Lijiang Old Town, wandering stone lanes and crossing charming bridges. Don’t miss the view from Lion Hill for a classic “rooftops and snow mountains” shot—morning light is unbeatable for photos! Sip Yunnan coffee in a courtyard café, and if time allows, stroll Black Dragon Pool Park for mountain reflections. Next, hop to Dali and cycle beside Erhai Lake (bike rental stands near the lake entrance). The Three Pagodas offer dramatic symmetry—try the reflection shot from the east side. Be sure to explore Dali Ancient Town’s lively music bars at sunset. Sample the local rushan cheese—it’s unique to Dali. Finish up in Shangri-La, with a sunrise visit to Songzanlin Monastery for surreal golden hues. Old Town makes for magical evening strolls (watch for lantern-lit alleys!). Head to Napa Lake if it’s migration season to spot wild birds. Dress warmly—Shangri-La’s altitude brings chilly evenings, even in summer! Tips: Start your days early to dodge crowds and catch golden morning light for photos. Altitude in Shangri-La can be tough—pace yourself and bring layers. For intercity travel, try booking advance tickets via trip.com for seamless bus/train rides. Don’t rush—each town deserves savoring. #Yunnan #Lijiang #Dali #ShangriLa #TravelChina
