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.

We stayed at: Kevin's Trekker Inn, Shangri-La, China
Good place, sweet and friendly, great value for your money.
(affiliate link)
Our hike to the Yakfields around Shangri-La and our Tibetan Homestay we arranged with: Khampa Caravan.
Loved it! The hike is definitely lonely and unique, though the village was not as spectaculair as we'd hoped.
And for those who wonder: Till early 2000's this town was called Zongdian, but the government thought it would attrack more tourists if they would rename the place Shangri-La. After the novel of James Hilton. Where Shangri-La is described as a mystical paradise on earth....
In 2014 the old city got fire and hundreds of houses were destroyed. Though rebuilding goes fast!

CAMERA equipment I use
**Canon Powershot N100 – (affiliate)
A budget option I loved very much for my first year of travel vlogging.
** Sony RX100 mk4 – (affiliate)
Oh my, how I love this new camera! Use this one from the Batanes series (Philippines II) onwards.
** GoPro HERO4 Silver – (affiliate)
I mainly use this camera for under water shots. Love the little screen at the back so your shots will not be a surprise till you're at your computer

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.

Lijiang, The Forgotten Kingdom (Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, episode 11)
Russian-born author Peter Goullart was the first Westerner to dub the village of Lijiang 'The Forgotten Kingdom'. The local Naxi people, their town and the surrounding countryside captured his heart back in the 1930s. He ended up staying for almost a decade. In this episode of Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, host Jordan Porter follows in the footsteps of Goullart and countless others, as he explores this UNESCO World Heritage site.
In the series, we follow Chinese food and alcohol expert Jordan Porter as he crisscrosses western Yunnan. Along the way, he learns about indigenous cultures, samples fantastic local food and speaks with the people who call this unique corner of China home. For more about Destination China and Yunnan province, see the following links:

Its most famous for the pool in Jade Spring Park as well as its white marble bridge, and views of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The park was originally built in 1737. You can take a leisurely walk around the park or hike up Elephant Hill and get some great views of Lijiang and the surrounding areas.

Yunnan, China: Part One - Lijiang
At the time of filming I had been living in China for 8 months and I'd not done any real hiking which, for a boy whose heart lives in the mountains of the English Lake District, was criminal. Sure, I'd been up some touristy mountains in China but they were soulless tourist traps with steps leading the way up rather than real trails. I took myself to Yunnan province to do the famous Tiger Leaping Gorge trek and, although it didn't take me to the summit of any mountain, I found myself feeling more like me again. In part one I share my journey to Lijiang - part two will be the hike itself!
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)
