【China・Lijiang Sifang Street】Immerse yourself in culture and music at the heart of Lijiang Old Town.

Sifang Street is the very center of Lijiang Old Town. Surrounded by traditional architecture and bustling with people day and night, this stone-paved square was once a vital trading hub on the Silk Road. Today, it still retains a strong sense of its historical charm. 👀 Highlights ✨ 🎶 Nightly spectacle! Traditional Naxi dance Every evening around 7 PM, the square comes alive with traditional Naxi dance performances. Locals join hands and dance in circles to the rhythm of drums and flutes, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that naturally draws in tourists. Everyone is welcome to join, making it a perfect way to create unforgettable travel memories! 🕺💃 I personally joined in, and dancing around the torches while holding hands with others reminded me of campfires from my school days—it was an incredibly fun experience! 🔥 🍡 Food, shopping, and entertainment all in one place! The streets are lined with souvenir shops and local food stalls. From yak meat jerky and butter tea to traditional Naxi sweets, strolling and sampling these delicacies is pure bliss. You’ll also find plenty of souvenirs like handicrafts, embroidery, and silver accessories. 📸 Picture-perfect spots filled with Lijiang’s charm The red lantern-lit streets at night resemble scenes straight out of a movie. This enchanting space, where history and culture intertwine, offers countless photogenic moments.
