When I first arrived at Sifang Street, I was completely stunned. The square street is full of dancing Naxi people, and tourists dance with them in the dance team.

Introduction of Lijiang tourist attractions
Introduction: The ancient city of Lijiang is one of the few well-preserved ancient cities of ethnic minorities in China, which concentrates the essence of Naxi culture and completely preserves the historical features formed since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. Lijiang has been a transit point for the Silk Road and the ancient tea-horse road since ancient times. Lijiang has Old Town of Lijiang, which was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. Naxi people's name is Miyamoto Nao, Miyamoto Nao is a granary and Naxi Nao is a market. Old Town of Lijiang used to be a gathering place for granaries. Here are the top ten tourist attractions in Lijiang, including details of the attractions, game features and comments from netizens. Let's have a look.
I. Old Town of Lijiang
Old Town of Lijiang is known as the most well-preserved ancient town of ethnic minorities in China. In a narrow sense, it refers to Dayan ancient town, the main body of Old Town of Lijiang. Lijiang Dayan Ancient City has famous small scenic spots such as Sifang Street, Dashiqiao, Bar Street and Shogunate. There are the most concentrated inns and tourist souvenirs with the most national characteristics in China. It is a must-see for Lijiang tourism.
Comments: It is precisely because Old Town of Lijiang is so famous. During the tourist season such as the Golden Week, the streets and alleys are crowded and businesses are busy, completely losing the leisure characteristics of Lijiang tourism. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to avoid the tourist season as much as possible, especially to travel to Lijiang during the Golden Week.
Second, Yulong Snow Mountain
Yulong Snow Mountain is the snow mountain with the lowest latitude (that is, the southernmost). Up to now, no one has been able to climb to the top, the sacred mountain of Naxi nationality in Lijiang, a snow-capped mountain famous for its double suicide culture. Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area includes Ganhaizi, Yunshan Ping, Maoniuping, Glacier Park and the highest golf course in China.
Comments: It is precisely because Yulong Snow Mountain is the lowest latitude snow mountain, coupled with global warming, the number of tourists going up the mountain has surged, and the amount of snow in Yulong Snow Mountain is decreasing every year. In severe cases, artificial snowfall can only guarantee the scenery of snow-capped mountains. Therefore, it is also recommended to avoid going to Yulong Snow Mountain during the tourist season. Some people say that there is no need to go to Yulong Snow Mountain at all, and it is more spectacular from a distance than from a close look.
Third, Lugu Lake.
Lugu Lake is famous for the Mosuo people's marriage custom, the last matriarchal society and the pristine and quiet paradise-like scenery. Lugu Lake Scenic Area includes Li Ge Island, Luoshui Village and Gem Goddess Mountain. Pig trough boat, Surima wine and wooden pagoda house are the symbols of Lugu Lake.
Comments: The marriage customs of Lugu Lake tend to be over-publicized and distorted, which destroys the simplicity of Lugu Lake to some extent.
Fourth, Shuhe ancient town.
Shuhe ancient town is called "Shihe" in ancient times and "Shaowu" in Naxi language. Before tourism development, it was called Longquan Village. Because there are several crystal clear springs in the village, it is also called "the hometown of clear springs". Shuhe Ancient Town is an important part of "Old Town of Lijiang, a World Cultural Heritage" awarded by UNESCO. History is also longer than Lijiang Dayan Ancient City. In ancient times, Shuhe was the gathering place where Lijiang Tusi introduced skilled craftsmen from the Central Plains, and it was also the handicraft center of Lijiang. Today, Shuhe is known as an ancient town with a smaller capital and a quieter life than Lijiang. Take "the ancient town in the countryside, the village in the ancient town" as the main business card. There is the largest stone bridge in Lijiang, Qinglong Bridge, and the most artistic spring, Jiuding Longtan.
Comments: Shuhe Ancient Town is a semi-ancient and semi-artificial ancient town which is protected and developed by Kunming Ye Ding Real Estate Group. A large area at the entrance of the ancient town is an antique commercial street. Crossing the Qinglong Bridge is the real Shuhe River.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Lashihai
Lashihai is a plateau lake, located in Lashixiang, Yulong County, Lijiang City. "Rush" is a Naxi language, which means a new barren dam. Yunnan people call the lake "Haizi", so it is called Lashihai. Lashihai is a paradise for birds and the back garden of Lijiang, but it has not been officially developed so far and is a famous "wild scenic spot" in Lijiang. Because of its "wildness", migratory birds have been living here continuously. Lashihai has also become the most interesting place in Lijiang. You can ride horses, row boats, watch birds, have picnics and camp in Lashihai.
Comments: It is precisely because of the "wildness" of Lashihai that the tourism management here is not standardized. There are many quotations for the same cycling route, which varies from person to person.
Six, Tiger Leaping Gorge
Tiger Leaping Gorge is located at the junction of Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang and Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La, about 60 kilometers away from Old Town of Lijiang. Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into three sections: Upper Tiger Jump, Middle Tiger Jump and Lower Tiger Jump, with a total length of18km and a vertical height difference of 3,790m. It is one of the deepest canyons in the world. In the 1980s, foreign backpackers began to hike here, and gradually began to have inns to provide light meals. Now it is a very mature hiking route. Tiger Leaping Gorge is located on the way from Lijiang to Shangri-La, and usually combines some outdoor routes such as "Happy Four-Day Tour" and "Rain Collapse Six-Day Tour".
Comments: Tiger jumping is the best hiking route, which requires a certain amount of physical strength. Walking on Tiger Leaping Gorge should avoid rainy days as much as possible, which may lead to landslides and other dangers.
Seven, Laojunshan
Laojun Mountain is known as the ancestor of mountainous areas in Yunnan. According to legend, Taishang Laojun was an alchemist here, hence the name. Laojun Mountain is located at 1 10 km southwest of Old Town of Lijiang, bordering Lanping and Jianchuan, with its main peak at an altitude of about 4,300m. Different from Yulong Snow Mountain, Laojun Mountain is lush in four seasons, with vast and quiet virgin forests, wild azaleas everywhere, plateau meadows and 99 glacial lakes, commonly known as 99 Longtan. The Danxia landform formed by red sandstone has more than 200 square kilometers.
Comments: At present (2009), Laojun Mountain has not been overexploited, and there are few tourists, but the strategic level of Lijiang tourism development has been mentioned, so we should go as early as possible. In addition, Laojun Mountain is adjacent to Shaxi Ancient Town in Jianchuan County, Dali, and Shaxi Ancient Town in Yunnan is called "the only surviving ancient market on the ancient tea-horse road", which is quite quaint and quiet, and is well worth visiting.
Eight, Wenbishan
Wenbi Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain are surrounded by Lijiang Dam in the south and north. Yulong Snow Mountain is famous for its natural landscape, and Wenbi Mountain is famous for its human landscape. Wenfeng Temple, one of the five Lama temples in Lijiang, is here. Wenbihai under Wenbishan is listed as an "international wetland reserve" together with Lashihai.
Comments: It is a good angle to see Yulong Snow Mountain on Wenbi Mountain. There are not many tourists on Wenbi Mountain. When the Buddha smoke rises, people will have the association of being in a fairyland.
Nine, Baisha ancient town
Baisha Ancient Town is the oldest ancient town in Lijiang, located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. It is the earliest settlement of Naxi ancestors after they entered Lijiang Basin, the birthplace of Naxi culture, and the political and religious center of Lijiang before Song and Yuan Dynasties. Up to now, there are still religious buildings such as Liu Li Hall, Dabaoji Palace, Dading Pavilion and King Kong Hall. There are also cultural and artistic heritages such as white sand murals and white sand fine music.
Comments: Baisha Ancient Town has not been officially developed, but the development right has been given to Ye Ding Group, which is responsible for the protection and development of Shuhe Ancient Town. In addition to ancient buildings, Baisha ancient town also has vast rural scenery. Baisha Ancient Town is also the closest ancient town to the snow-capped mountains in China.
Ten, the first bay of the Yangtze River
The first bay of the Yangtze River is located in Shigu Town, Yulong County, Lijiang City. Jinsha River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, made a spectacular turn here because it is called the first bay of the Yangtze River. Shigu town near the first bay of the Yangtze River is the earliest origin of Lijiang place names.
Comments: Naxi people in Shigu Town make it at sunrise and rest at sunset. It seems that their lives have not been greatly affected by tourism, so they are also called "Lijiang Life".
These are the top ten tourist attractions in Lijiang. I believe you already know them.

Former Residence of Luo Ke
10, Locke's former residence
A dozen miles north from Old Town of Lijiang, we came to Song Xue Natural Village, Yuhu Administrative Village at the southern foot of Yulong Snow Mountain. The Naxi language of this village is called "Uluken", which means the village at the foot of snow-capped mountains. 1922, Australian-American Joseph? Locke (1884- 1962), as an explorer, writer and photographer of National Geographic magazine, entered Yunnan, China from the Thai-Burmese border, and then moved from Simao in the south of Yunnan to Lijiang in the northwest of Yunnan, where he lived for 27 years, most of which was in Yuhu, Song and Xue Cun. He described: "Uluken, a small village with beautiful environment, is located on the hillside of the pure Lijiang Snow Mountain. The main fan of the Snow Mountain is steep, protecting it like a protector. The headquarters of the Yunnan provincial expedition of the National Geographic Society is located here.
Locke's former residence in Song Xue Cun, Yuhu has been restored and has become a "Locke's former residence exhibition hall" for tourists to visit. Locke's former residence has one hospital and three rooms. The building facing east is the former residence of the headquarters of the China Yunnan expedition of the National Geographic Society of the United States. Locke has lived in the living room upstairs for more than 20 years. The furniture, tables and chairs, brazier, bookshelf, alarm clock and other electrical appliances in the room are Locke's relics. Sitting in the building facing south, downstairs is the "Exhibition Hall of Luo's Former Residence", which displays a large number of historical photos taken by Luo in that year, as well as a number of relics left by Luo in Lijiang, including woolen coats, shotguns, dental appliances, artisan tools, aluminum nails and cowhide, etc., all brought by Luo from western society in that year. Locke is the first foreign scholar to introduce Lijiang national culture to the western world.
