Lijiang Must-Experience Healing List 1️⃣ Stroll through Dayan Ancient Town Wake up in the morning light of Sifang Street, listen to the gurgling water, and watch vines climb the wooden buildings. When night falls, folk songs from the bar street mingle with lanterns, creating a unique charm where vibrant local life meets artistic flair. 2️⃣ Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: Divine Secret Realm Ride the cable car through clouds and mist to reach the vast, snow-capped peak at 4,680 m; at the mountain's foot, Blue Moon Valley resembles inlaid jade, while the meadows and wildflowers of Yak Meadow form a picturesque scene gifted by nature. 3️⃣ Lugu Lake: A Worldly Gem Glide across the heart of the lake in a Mosuo dugout canoe, as Mosuo women sing love songs and Ottelia flowers sway in the turquoise waves. At night, stay in a lake-view guesthouse and await the romantic transition from starry skies to morning mist. 4️⃣ Baisha Ancient Town - Authentic Naxi Avoid the crowds and step into the starting point of the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Blue and white tie-dye fabrics from the workshop flutter gently in the wind. On the cafe's terrace, snow-capped mountains and the aroma of coffee create a picturesque scene. 🎨 Cultural Immersion: Touching the Warmth of the Soul - Listen to Naxi ancient music, and decipher the code of Dongba culture within its thousand-year-old melodies; - Learn to write Dongba script, using pictographs to record your travel stories. - Dress in traditional Naxi attire and spend half a day as a Naxi girl, 'draped in stars and moon'.
