Lijiang Attractions
3 must-see attractions — from world-famous landmarks to local gems
Yulong Snow Mountain Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Gazing up at the snow-capped mountains from the Old Town and looking down on the world from the mountains offer two completely different, awe-inspiring experiences. If you’re lucky enough to witness the “Golden Mountain” phenomenon—the sun illuminating the mountain—it’s an unforgettable sight.
Lijiang Old Town Lijiang Old Town
Lijiang Old Town is one of the most charming ancient towns in China. Find a café on the second floor, order a cup of Yunnan small-bean coffee, and gaze at the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain—this is the Lijiang way of life.
Baisha Ancient Town Baisha Ancient Town
If you find Dayan too commercialized and Shuhe not quiet enough—Baisha is the answer. This unspoiled Naxi village at the foot of the snow-capped mountains has the fewest tourists and the most authentic local atmosphere.
