Lijiang

-If you are traveling through Yunnan province Lijiang is a must visit place, and stay couple of days. Lijiang is definitely the best place to feel Naxi culture and cusine. Also it is best location if you plan to visit Shangri-La. Coming to Lijiang is fairly easy by plane, bus or train. -Lijiang is famous for being an UNESCO Heritage site, having 3 ancient towns. Lijiang ancient town is the biggest and most popular. Shuhe ancient town is couple of kilometers away form city center , little bit less crowded but still beautiful. And Baisha ancient town is located couple of kilometers North of city center and in my opinion is the most beautiful one. You van sit in coffee shops and enjoy beautiful view on the mountains. -Attractions that are close to LiJiang and mist see are Blue moon valley and Tiger leaping Gorge -Anyway LiJiang took our breath away and i will definitely be back here #gorgeousyunnan #lijiang #lijiangoldtown #yunnan

Enchanting Yunnan: Lijiang, Dali & Shangri-La Highlights 🏔️⛩️🍃 Journey through Yunnan’s dreamscape with this three-city adventure—where ancient towns, alpine vistas, and Tibetan charm greet you at every turn! Start in Lijiang Old Town, wandering stone lanes and crossing charming bridges. Don’t miss the view from Lion Hill for a classic “rooftops and snow mountains” shot—morning light is unbeatable for photos! Sip Yunnan coffee in a courtyard café, and if time allows, stroll Black Dragon Pool Park for mountain reflections. Next, hop to Dali and cycle beside Erhai Lake (bike rental stands near the lake entrance). The Three Pagodas offer dramatic symmetry—try the reflection shot from the east side. Be sure to explore Dali Ancient Town’s lively music bars at sunset. Sample the local rushan cheese—it’s unique to Dali. Finish up in Shangri-La, with a sunrise visit to Songzanlin Monastery for surreal golden hues. Old Town makes for magical evening strolls (watch for lantern-lit alleys!). Head to Napa Lake if it’s migration season to spot wild birds. Dress warmly—Shangri-La’s altitude brings chilly evenings, even in summer! Tips: Start your days early to dodge crowds and catch golden morning light for photos. Altitude in Shangri-La can be tough—pace yourself and bring layers. For intercity travel, try booking advance tickets via trip.com for seamless bus/train rides. Don’t rush—each town deserves savoring. #Yunnan #Lijiang #Dali #ShangriLa #TravelChina
