Stay near Zhongyi Market and embark on a delicious journey through Lijiang's vibrant culture.

Mushanyuan Garden Inn and Cieman Inn highlights: Located in the heart of Lijiang Ancient Town's south gate, these inns are just a 5-minute walk from Zhongyi Market, Lijiang's vibrant "food paradise." Enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace with views of the snow-capped mountains, fall asleep to the gentle hum of the city, and wake up to the aromas of Zhongyi Market—experience authentic Lijiang life. Zhongyi Market: The ultimate foodie destination in Lijiang Beloved by locals, Zhongyi Market is more than just a fresh market; it's a "museum of flavors." Here, you'll find decades-old shops, authentic Naxi cuisine, and innovative fusion snacks, all starting from just 10 yuan per person. Don't miss these must-try dishes: Stay at the South Gate Inn and unlock the ultimate food guide: 7:00 am: Walk to the market and savor freshly baked Lijiang baba (crispy layered flatbread with butter tea) or a steaming bowl of bone and rice soup (pork bone broth with sausage and rice). 2:00 pm: Avoid the crowds and grab some pan-fried tofu (crispy outside, soft inside) and chicken pea jelly (sour and spicy). Head back to the hotel courtyard for a relaxing afternoon. 6:00 pm: Explore the market again and try a mixed hot pot at Yongxia Snacks (chicken soup with pig's feet and dipping sauce) or head to nearby Mufu Alley Food Street for Lijiang bacon hot pot (similar to Xiangshan Market but more affordable). Lijiang Ancient Town South Gate Inn is not just a place to rest; it's your key to Lijiang's culinary soul. Experience the vibrant energy of Zhongyi Market and the poetic charm of the ancient town. Stay here, measure Lijiang's local life with your taste buds, and turn your trip into an immersive cultural feast. (Note: Some shops have limited opening hours, so plan ahead. Preserved fruits are high in sugar; try before you buy.)
