WINTER TERRY

Let's go to the blooming and colorful Yunnan, which is unbelievably beautiful

Lijiang Ancient Town, also known as Dayan Town, is located in the middle of the Ancient Tea Horse Road and has a history of 800 years. It is known as one of China's four great ancient towns, along with Pingyao Ancient Town, Langzhong Ancient Town, and Huizhou Ancient Town. Geographical location: The ancient town is situated in the center of the Lijiang Basin, bordered by the Lijiang Dam to the east, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to the west, Lugu Lake to the south, and Tiger Leaping Gorge to the north. Taking advantage of the terrain (backed by Lion Mountain, Elephant Mountain, and Golden Rainbow Mountain), it avoids the cold air from the snow mountain and attracts warm winds from the southeast, creating a unique climate environment. Here, it is spring all year round, warm and pleasant, with charming scenery. Attraction recommendations: The most famous are the Big Water Wheel and Sifang Street. The Big Water Wheel is a symbolic structure of Lijiang, witnessing the town's centuries-old history. Sifang Street is the central area of the ancient town, which was once an important post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road and a significant place for horse caravan trades. Today's Sifang Street is bustling with restaurants, bars, travel photography, snacks, and a dazzling array of handmade crafts. North-South route through the ancient town: Walk the busiest streets of the ancient town and experience the most intense atmosphere of Lijiang. Along the way, you can check in at the Big Water Wheel, Sifang Street, Kegongfang, Dashiqiao, Yican Well, Baisui Fang, and Sanyanjing. Route: Yuhu Square at the North Gate of the Ancient Town - East Street - Sifang Street - Dashiqiao - Baisui Fang - July 1st Street - South Gate of the Ancient Town. 📝Tips: 1 The streets within the ancient town are paved with stone slabs, uneven in height, so wear comfortable shoes. 2 The temperature difference between morning and evening in Lijiang is significant, so add clothes to prevent colds in the morning and evening. 3 Lijiang is located on the plateau, with strong ultraviolet rays and dry air, so pay attention to moisturizing and sun protection.
