Step Back in Time: A Day in Lijiang Old Town

#chinatrip Lijiang Old Town greeted me with its iconic waterwheels, a symbol of the town’s rich history and harmony with nature. These ancient wheels have stood the test of time, blending perfectly with the red stone carvings that tell stories of the past. Walking through the cobblestone streets felt like stepping into a living museum. Each turn revealed something new – charming bridges over clear streams, intricately carved wooden signs, and shops bursting with local handicrafts. The famous Square Market was a delightful maze of color and tradition. It’s not just a market; it’s a meeting point of history and culture. As the sun set, the warmth of a crackling fire in the square brought people together, creating a magical ambiance. Lijiang Old Town is not just a destination but an experience that lingers in your heart.
