Back to Lijiang and staying at the Indigo Hotel in the Ancient City

Lijiang is located on the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in the northwest of Yunnan Province. It is connected to the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture and Panzhihua City in the east, and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in the south. During the Paleolithic Age, late Homo sapiens were already active in Lijiang. During the Warring States period, it belonged to the Shu Prefecture of the Qin Kingdom. After Zhuang Qiao of Chu opened up Yunnan, it belonged to the Dian Kingdom. Lijiang has three world heritages: culture, nature, and memory, as well as the Naxi Dongba culture and the matriarchal culture of Lugu Lake. The ancient city of Lijiang was built in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties. When the Mu family ancestors of Lijiang moved the ruling center from Baisha Ancient Town to Lion Mountain, they began to build the city. The establishment of the Tusi system in the Ming Dynasty marked the first glorious period in the history of the ancient city of Lijiang. The streets of Dayan Ancient City are built along the mountains and rivers, with attractions such as the Mu Mansion, Wangu Tower, Sifang Street, and Wenchang Palace. Driving back to Lijiang from Shangri-La and checking into the Indigo Hotel in the Ancient City. The hotel is located at the South Gate of the ancient town, a great location. The hotel is fully integrated into the surrounding environment of the ancient city, combining Naxi, Tibetan, and Tea Horse Road cultural elements. It is a great choice for off-peak travel. The handsome guy at the hotel front desk also upgraded me to a deluxe suite for free. It's so beautiful. When I came to Lijiang, I stayed at the InterContinental Hotel next door, so I am very familiar with the surrounding environment. The breakfast buffet is also at the InterContinental Hotel, which is very good. I also went to the ancient city for a walk, a wonderful time.
