Old is gold !

The ancient old town in Lijiang, was supremely a trade market some 100 years before. The horsemen, traders and locals from all nearby towns, cities gather here. It's importance has only increased over the time, that people from Sichuan and Tibet also participated in the trade in here. Over the time, as technology has took over the market and trade the old practice also disappeared. But these days, it has become more colorful and lively that people cherish its history. #lijiangtravel #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday

Spring is the perfect time to visit Lijiang, Yunnan: the weather is ideal, the hordes of summer tourists haven't yet arrived, and the fruit trees are blossoming. We spent a very enjoyable couple of days wandering the streets of the old town, tasting local food and sipping coffee made from beans grown in Yunnan. Lijiang is undoubtedly a tourist destination, but it's one well worth visiting. The old town is small enough to be covered on foot (indeed, most of it is closed to vehicle traffic), so get a guesthouse in or near the old town (we stayed just outside the north gate, where a small hill gives a great view of the area) and leave the traffic jams of metropolitan China behind. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #lijiang #yunnan #china #historicallandmarks #oldtown #coffee #mountains #tourism #springblossoms
