A Guide to Lijiang: What I Learned Walking 10,000 Steps a Day (with Tears in My Eyes)

I traveled to Lijiang for a while, walking about 30,000 steps every day. Here are some fun places to go, delicious food to eat, and some travel tips. Save this post ⭐ so you can use it when you go to Lijiang! · 🌿Lijiang Old Town Dayan Flower Lane➡️Big Waterwheel➡️Daishi Bridge➡️Sifang Street➡️Mu Mansion➡️Zhongyi Market➡️Lijiang Check-in Wall➡️Black Dragon Pool Park 🌿Shuhe Ancient Town Lijiang Botanical Garden (Prayer Flag Square)➡️Qinglong Bridge➡️Feihua Touch Water➡️Haligu➡️Jiuding Dragon Pool 🌿Baisha Ancient Town Baisha Fresco➡️Baisha Archway . 🌟 Lijiang Travel Tips: 1️⃣ The old city is full of bumpy stone roads, so it's especially difficult to drag luggage! It is recommended to stay in the outer areas of the old city, and be sure to choose flat shoes. 2️⃣ Avoid staying in the bar street area, as the music may continue until the early hours of the morning. 3️⃣ The climate in the plateau area is dry, so remember to drink plenty of water every day! The ultraviolet rays are strong, so you need to wear sunscreen all day long (hat and sunglasses are essential). 4️⃣ The temperature will drop significantly on rainy days, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so it is recommended to bring a jacket with you, but be sure to wear sunscreen on sunny days. 5️⃣ You can compare prices at several stores for local specialties or souvenirs, as there may be price differences for the same products. . 😃Food & ☕Coffee & ⏰️Grocery store✅check in ✔Muyu Ruins Restaurant ✔Chijunke Yunnan Wild Mushroom Hot Pot ✔Bamboo Coffee ✔Tiancun Sour Yak Beef Hot Pot ✔️Jixiang Grilled Erkuai & Grilled Cheese ✔️Madao Grocery Store ✔️Bread Shop ✔️Neverland ✔️Junzailai Restaurant

Old Town of Lijiang

Wander Through Winter’s Charm in Lijiang Old Town 🌸🍂 Stroll into a dreamy December in Lijiang Old Town—cobblestone alleys lined with ancient wooden facades, glowing lanterns, and the sweet surprise of cherry blossoms and golden autumn leaves. This UNESCO gem pairs timeless architecture with nature’s seasonal show, perfect for those seeking cultural vibes and magical photo ops! 🗺️ Recommended Route & Must-Dos: Start your day early to catch soft morning light. Enter via the ancient South Gate, winding towards Square Street, the beating heart full of cafes and local crafts. Wander deeper through secluded lanes by Black Dragon Pool, a serene spot where mountains mirror in calm waters. Pop into the smaller courtyards for quieter scenes and sample piping hot yak butter tea or local flower cakes for a quick warm-up. 📸 Insta-Worthy Angles: Snap the cherry blossoms peeking around red lanterns on the main street, and don’t miss the fiery yellow leaves tumbling over old tiled roofs by the canal bridges. The vista from Lion Hill is breathtaking—grab a panorama of the old town and snow-dusted peaks beyond! ✨ Visiting Tips: December mornings can be chilly. Dress in layers and bring a simple scarf for extra warmth. The air is crisp and crowds thin—ideal for a peaceful walk! Local shops often open before 9 AM and close around 9–10 PM. Lijiang’s altitude means the sun can be strong even in winter—don’t forget sunscreen. #Lijiang #OldTown #WinterMagic #CulturalHeritage #TravelAsia
