Lijiang | Lijiang Ancient Town

| Lijiang Ancient Town. Lijiang Ancient Town, as a World Cultural Heritage site and a national 5A-level tourist attraction, has a history of over 800 years. The streets are freely distributed without being confined to neatness, with the main street by the water and the alleys along the canals. Countless ancient stone bridges, rivers, green trees, old alleys, and ancient buildings complement each other, resembling the 'small bridges and flowing water of households' depicted in ancient poetry. Walking on the streets of the ancient town in the evening, under the sunlight, the old village is shrouded in mist, making it a place people yearn for. Here one can experience a leisurely life, with flowers everywhere in the town, flat stone roads, babbling streams, slowing down to appreciate the dazzling array of calligraphy and paintings, Naxi costumes, antiques, and general merchandise, as well as a variety of delicious foods that are not too expensive. There are all kinds of small taverns throughout the ancient town, where you can take a break and have a drink, listen to folk songs, and feel a different kind of life. Next to the ancient town is the Zhongyi Market, where there are many super cheap fruits for sale, and a lot of snacks. Those interested can also go for a visit.
