Absolutely amazing! In the ancient town of Lijiang, I unexpectedly broke into an ancient dreamland! ✨

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Absolutely amazing! In the ancient town of Lijiang, I unexpectedly broke into an ancient dreamland! ✨ Things to know before you go🚩 The ancient city of Lijiang is about 2,400 meters above sea level, and there is a big temperature difference between morning and night. Remember to bring a thick coat. Sisters who are allergic to altitude sickness can prepare some glucose! There are many cobblestone roads in the ancient city, so don’t wear high heels 👠 The best choice is to choose comfortable flat shoes! Must-visit attractions📸 • Big Waterwheel: the “face” of Lijiang Ancient Town! It is also the entrance sign of the ancient city and the birthplace of countless internet celebrity blockbusters. It has a great feel both during the day and at night. • Sifang Street: the center of the ancient city! This place is well connected. It is a bustling market during the day and turns into a bonfire party at night. Dancing in circles with the locals, the atmosphere is at its best! • Wangu Tower: the best viewing platform overlooking the panoramic view of the ancient city! Climbing up the Wangu Tower, you can see rows of green tile roofs everywhere. It is simple during the day and bright at night🌃 • Mu Mansion: Known as the "Little Forbidden City in Lijiang", it is the residence of the chieftain of the Mu clan. The building is magnificent and gorgeous, with red walls, golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings. It is a must-see for lovers of ancient style! Food recommendations 🍜 • Yunnan rice noodles: a variety of flavors to choose from, delicious soup, chewy rice noodles, even more delicious with some chili oil! • Steam Pot Chicken: The chicken soup is slow-cooked with pure steam, so delicious that it will make your eyebrows drop. The chicken is soft and tasty, and drinking a bowl of it will warm your stomach! • Grilled milk fan: a local specialty snack! It has a rich milky flavor, coated with rose jam or white sugar, sweet, fragrant and crispy, you will fall in love with it at first bite! • Dongba barbecue: pork belly with alternating fat and lean meat, grilled over charcoal, with a crispy crust and sprinkled with cumin and chili, the aroma is intoxicating! Accommodation Guide 🏠 There are many characteristic homestays in the ancient city. It is recommended to stay near Sifang Street or Wuyi Street. It is convenient for travel and you can also experience the nightlife of the ancient city at night. If you want to be quieter, you can choose a homestay in the marginal area, which is more affordable. A little reminder💡 ✅ Vehicles are not allowed in the ancient city. If you have a lot of luggage, please contact the owner of the B&B in advance to help with the transportation. ✅ The city of romance is well-known, but be careful of wine-selling scams and various "routines" ✅ You can bargain when buying souvenirs, and put your bargaining skills to good use!
