"Now visiting Lijiang is really worth it! It is currently the off-peak season, so there are not many tourists and it's great for taking photos~ Since Lijiang doesn't have an airport, we flew to Dali first and then took a car here. It gave us the opportunity to visit many attractions! Zhongyi Market, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and Baisha Ancient Town are all worth a visit. You can also try on ethnic costumes for some great photo opportunities~"
The streets of Lijiang Ancient Town are built along the mountains and rivers, paved with red cobblestones, hence it is also called "Wooden Mansion". Lijiang Ancient Town is a place rich in cultural resources, with many attractions worth visiting, such as the large waterwheel at Lion Hill and Sifang Street.
The large waterwheel 🌊 is an iconic building in Lijiang Ancient Town. It is powered by waterwheels, which drive the waterwheel, and the waterwheel moves the water from the well to flow in all directions, then extracts the water from the well to irrigate the farmland. It is a very distinctive attraction where you can not only enjoy the beautiful scenery but also learn about the Naxi culture.
💗If you want to experience the life of Lijiang, you can also visit the villages of the Naxi ethnic group to experience the local residents' way of life. If you have time, you can also go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is considered a sacred mountain by the Naxi people. When in Lijiang, you must take a look at the snow-capped mountain. Not only can you see its beautiful appearance, but you can also experience the feeling of "walking in the clouds".
⛰️Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has an altitude of 5,596 meters and is the highest peak in China. To climb Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you need to make preparations in advance:
1⃣️ First of all, prepare oxygen cylinders, chocolate, beef jerky, and other food;
2⃣️ Secondly, wear warm clothes;
3⃣️ And then, pay attention to the high altitude. You may experience symptoms like headaches and dizziness at the beginning.
If you don't want to take the cable car, you can choose to hike up the snow mountain and enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way~
