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.
