Lijiang Ancient Town, located in Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, is a town with a history of over 700 years. In 2002, it was listed as one of the ten most desirable cities in China. Lijiang Ancient Town is a city with diverse ethnic cultures and entertainment activities, with beautiful attractions and the Palace of Longevity, built according to the style of the Forbidden City. Let's explore it with the editor!
Although Lijiang Ancient Town has many modern elements, you can still feel the lazy and comfortable atmosphere when strolling through the old alleyways. The editor recommends the first place: Wanggu Tower, which is a high point overlooking Lion Mountain. Climbing Wanggu Tower allows you to overlook the entire ancient town, especially at night, you can capture the beautiful lights of thousands of homes. If the weather is good, you can even see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
After climbing Wanggu Tower down Lion Mountain, you can visit the Palace of Longevity. The unique feature of the Palace of Longevity is that it was built according to the style of the Forbidden City, belonging to the Naxi royal palace. Lijiang tourism has a saying: 'Without visiting the Palace of Longevity, it's like not visiting Lijiang'.
The center of Lijiang Ancient Town is the famous Four Square Street, with blue and white stone paving, which is the most developed area of the ancient town. It's also a good place to appreciate the street scenery. The editor recommends visiting Four Square Street in the evening, where you can find various unique bars and tea houses. The doors of the bars are hung with big red lanterns, creating a lively and harmonious atmosphere. You can choose a place to enjoy the river view while drinking…
Regarding accommodation in Lijiang Ancient Town, the editor recommends choosing various guesthouses. These guesthouses are mostly wooden buildings, allowing you to fully experience the Southern atmosphere of bridges and flowing water. In 2019, the maintenance fee standard for the ancient town was lowered to 50 yuan, which is 30 yuan cheaper than before.
Transportation: Lijiang Airport has a shuttle bus.
