Lijiang
The Ancient Charm at the Foot of Snow-Capped Mountains
Lijiang is a UNESCO World Heritage ancient town, where Naxi culture and the magnificent scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain blend perfectly—cobblestone streets, traditional music, and alpine landscapes create an unforgettable experience.
With over 800 years of history, Lijiang Ancient Town is a settlement of the Naxi people and one of China's best-preserved historic towns. Strolling through its maze-like waterways, stone bridges, and wooden architecture, you'll hear the echoes of Naxi Dongba music in the streets.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (5,596 meters) serves as a magnificent backdrop, offering breathtaking views year-round. Beyond the ancient town, you can explore Tiger Leaping Gorge—one of the world's deepest canyons—the matriarchal Mosuo culture of Lugu Lake, and the tranquil rural scenery of Baisha and Shuhe ancient towns.
Lijiang is the gateway to northwestern Yunnan, connecting to Shangri-La, the Three Parallel Rivers UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the ancient Tea Horse Road.
