LIJIANG: Travel Guide | Old Town (Full HD) Yunnan, China
Lijiang Old Town is located in Lijiang in northwestern Yunnan Province. The Old Town dates back roughly 1000 years and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is filled with traditional architecture, several canals, traditional and modern shops, and flowers everywhere. The main ethnic minority in this area are the Naxi (Nashi). Their culture has been passed down and can be seen in the architecture, clothing, music, dancing, cuisine, and wares throughout the old town and surrounding areas. To get to Lijiang I took the night train from Kunming for roughly $20 USD and returned to Kunming by fast train for roughly $30 USD. You can also fly or bus into Lijiang from Kunming as well.

The old town of Lijiang (Yunnan - China)
(EN) Lijiang is a prefecture-level city in the northwest of Yunnan Province, China. It has an area of 21,219 square kilometres (8,193 sq mi) and a population of 1,244,7690 as of 2010 census whom 155,540 in built up area.
The town has a history going back more than 800 years and was once a confluence for trade along the old tea horse road. The Lijiang old town is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges. The old town of Lijiang differs from other ancient Chinese cities in architecture, history and the culture of its traditional residents the Nakhi people, therefore people there are called 胖金哥 and 胖金妹 (male and female respectively).
Lijiang old town (including Dayan, Baisha and Shuhe) was registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List on December 4, 1997. Since then, the local government has taken more responsibility for the development and protection of the old city. Lijiang's tourism also boomed, and travellers from around the world flooded in; although many locals fear that due to much of the development, the old town of Lijiang will lose its appeal.
Recently, the government has started to develop additional old city sections adjacent to the site of the original old city. This is to accommodate the large number of tourists who walk the cobblestone streets (cars are not allowed in the old city), typically as part of package tours. Evenings in the old city can be particularly rowdy, not least due to the many outdoor bars, where boisterous groups of tourists try to outsing other groups.
Lijiang is also home to the Jade Water Village, a Dongba cultural centre and Lugu Lake, a lake which is a tourist attraction. (wikipedia)

Where we stayed:
We slept at the Zen Garden Hotel. The room was a littlebit disappointing for the price, but you also pay for the great location in the middle of the old town! And eventually the bed was good. Cookies are amazing, hotel staff is friendly, and just walking out the door you walk into the old town. The common room is very beautiful.

Old Town of Lijiang (UNESCO/NHK)
The Old Town of Lijiang, which is perfectly adapted to the uneven topography of this key commercial and strategic site, has retained a historic townscape of high quality and authenticity. Its architecture is noteworthy for the blending of elements from several cultures that have come together over many centuries. Lijiang also possesses an ancient water-supply system of great complexity and ingenuity that still functions effectively today.

Discovering ‘Old Town’ in LiJiang, China - with @caitofalltraits
A friend’s destination wedding took me to LiJiang, China, and it was one of the most breathtaking places I’d ever visited. And of course... I discovered Lijiang Street food specialties, which includes some unconventional animals and a new way of eating cheese! DELICIOUS!!
We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel which was a marvelous place, partly because one of the town’s main attractions, ‘GuCheng’ or ‘Old Town’ is situated in its back-yard, accessible in minutes by foot.
Needless to say, we went back each of the 3 days that we were there, to take in the sights and sounds, follow the trail to the legendary ‘Black Dragon Pool’, and buy souvenirs unique to YUNAN and LiJiang, that we discovered only by being at the mountain town, 2400ft above sea-level.
Don’t miss the snippets of the stunning wedding of Chervin and Krystal Chow-Tan, Founders of @bluesky.escapes who expertly put together this fantastic experience for their guests.
What a magical trip this has been.

Lijiang, China part 1 of 5, Old Town
Lijiang, China is one of the few well-preserved historic towns left in China. Our movie was shot some years ago before tourism really expanded, so we can look back in time and see village life as it was in the past century. The little town is a pedestrian zone with ancient wooden buildings and several small streams running through it, creating a peaceful atmosphere. Even though it has become more crowded with tourists, Lijiang still is a wonderful place to visit.
