Yunnan-Lijiang



Lijiang old Town stree
Lijiang is an ancient small town located in the northwest of Yunnan province. Chinese people call Yunnan as “ the south place of colorful cloud”. In my opinion, the reason is that Yunnan Province is full of beautiful popular tourist attractions. Actually, the province itself is a gorgeous attraction. There are Snow Mountains, stone forest, rivers, gorges, lakes, ancient cities and architectures, blue sky, fresh air, creatures, every ethnic minorities cultures of China and so on. However, in this post, I just pick up the tip of the iceberg Lijiang country to describe Yunnan.

In general, Lijiang is an old town to drink, eat, shop and relax. There are no high buildings around the town. Unlike cities, people who live in Lijiang are enjoying the slow pace of life. When you walk into the small town, you will feel a totally different context. Backpackers and tourists are everywhere because Lijiang is a transition place to other attractions. People are walking with relax expression. A lot of small snack stores and shops are located in the both side of streets. Most of them are selling minority food, adornments and clothes.



Lashihai wetland
The central part of Lijiang town is called Si Fang Jie. There are many pubs around there. When the night falls, Si Fang jie becomes lively rise. There will be a bonfire, and local people will dance there. Tourists are welcome to join them. Bars are divided into music bar and dance bar. Personally, I prefer to go music bar because I am likely to enjoy the live music with fresh coffee or cocktail. However, the most exciting in Lijiang town is short-term flings. It is always happened.



Lashihai hill
Around the old town, there are a number of popular attractions. In my opinion, Lashihai wetland is not the best but it is very close to Lijiang. Specifically, tourists can visit the hill with riding a horse and paddle a boat in the lake. You should try the grilled fish cooked by local fishermen on the small boat if you go there. It is very delicious.
