Lijiang Attractions Detailed Introduction & Precautions | Avoiding Tourist Traps in Lijiang

🏔️ Baisha Ancient Town Compared to the bustling Lijiang Ancient Town and the quiet Shuhe Ancient Town, I prefer Baisha Ancient Town, a village under the snow mountain🏔️, which is also a utopia in the hearts of young people. Here, you can get close to the snow mountain, with photo opportunities galore, and the town is filled with the daily life and culture of the Naxi people. 🏔️ Wenhai Village A 40-minute drive on mountain roads from Baisha Ancient Town takes you to the other side of the snow mountain. This place boasts pristine natural scenery, tranquil villages, mysterious lakes, and herds of cattle, horses, and sheep that can be seen everywhere, as if you've entered a secluded paradise deep in the snow mountain. 🏔️ Dongba Valley Located at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain🏔️, you can witness the 'Golden Mountain' illuminated by the sunrise⛰️. We set off from Baisha Ancient Town early in the morning, and after more than 20 minutes, we arrived at a natural lake where you can see the complete reflection of the 'Golden Mountain', offering a healing and romantic experience. 🏔️ Black Dragon Pool One of Lijiang's 4A scenic spots, upon entering, you can see a crystal-clear pool. The place is interestingly juxtaposed with classical architecture by the mountain and water, and the view of the 'Golden Mountain' illuminated by the sun🌞⛰️ here is unparalleled, right next to Lijiang Ancient Town. 🏔️ Lijiang Ancient Town Lijiang Ancient Town is a national 5A scenic area. Walking here, you can see stone bridges, ancient trees, and streams everywhere, forming a unique waterside landscape. Be sure to slow down and feel the lively atmosphere of the old town, with romantic vibes emanating from places like Zhongyi Alley, Mugu Building, and Sifang Street. ⛰️ Longnu Lake You can also see the 'Golden Mountain' illuminated by the sunrise⛰️ here, right next to Yuhu Village. Horse riding🐴, blue sky, snow mountain🏔️, lake, grass🌿 meadows, cattle🐮, sheep🐏, and the solitary tree🌲, with a gentle breeze and the sun🌞 shining brightly, the lake surface sparkles with stars⭐, serene and beautiful. ⛰️ Shuhe Ancient Town One of the settlements of the Naxi ancestors in the Lijiang basin, this place is nestled against the mountain⛰️ and by the water, with an ancient charm, quiet and peaceful environment, and relatively fewer tourists. It's a hidden ancient village away from the hustle and bustle, where you can experience a slow-paced life. 🏔️ Qingxi Reservoir A beautiful spot with few people, very close to the ancient town. On a clear day, you can see the reflection of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain🏔️. If you're not in a hurry when visiting Lijiang, you can go here for a look, and it's free.
