Infinite Scenery Awaits in Lijiang

🌟【Lijiang Night Tour Guide】 🌙 Lijiang Old Town Night View: A Millennia-Old Light and Shadow Feast At night, Lijiang seems to be lit by a thousand lanterns, and the stone paths glow softly in the warm light. Highly recommended spots to check out: 🎑 Lijiang Old Town is very large If you want to hit the highlights, here are 8 simple must-see spots: ⭐️1. Xianwen Alley: The legendary oil-paper umbrella street, reminiscent of the rainy alley in Dai Wangshu’s poetry ⭐️2. Sakura Restaurant: This place is quite beautiful, filled with flowers and succulents Of course, it’s also very crowded. After wandering the old town for a long time, you’ll find this spot where people line up just to take photos. ⭐️3. Three-Eyed Well: Built using spring water gushing from underground, this three-tiered water pool follows the terrain’s elevation. Many elders and children like to rest and play here, creating a lively scene of modern city life. ⭐️4. Sifang Street: The center of Lijiang Old Town, a gathering place for tourists and the busiest street. The bar street extends from the Big Waterwheel to here. During the day, Naxi grandmothers dance, and you can hold hands and join in. ⭐️5. Big Stone Bridge: Here you’ll find a bridge, a creek, and flowers. For photography enthusiasts, this angle easily produces stunning shots and is very unique. Many photo shoot sessions take place here. ⭐️6. Yichi Alley: Known as an immersive place to experience Lijiang culture. I think you need to be genuinely interested to feel it; otherwise, just stroll around casually. ⭐️7. Zhenxing Alley: Filled with colorful lanterns🏮, all inscribed with Dongba pictographs, full of rich Dongba cultural atmosphere. If you can’t feel the vibe, just enjoy looking at the lanterns. ⭐️8. Wind Chime Street (Wanzi Bridge): From Wanyi Bridge to South Gate Bridge, many wind chimes hang from the eaves. When the breeze blows, the chimes produce pleasant sounds that refresh the mind 😊 🏨 Hotel Recommendation: VoooLa pin Pinyue ● Rizhao Jinshan Snow Mountain Panoramic Smart Villa Boutique (Lijiang Old Town Branch) ✔️ Located in the old town, super convenient, right in the heart of the area ✔️ The inn is on the main street of Qiyi Street; just walk straight out the door Along the way, there are many popular check-in spots like 👉 Pomegranate Well, Three-Eyed Well, Wanzi Bridge, Sakura Restaurant, Oil-Paper Umbrella Street, Sifang Street, and more☝️ ✅ The environment is truly beautiful The guesthouse is filled with the atmosphere of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, very fitting with local characteristics The courtyard-style design is full of greenery🌴 The environment is very elegant, and staying here lets you experience a peaceful tranquility 🈶 Free afternoon tea☕️ + delicious flower cakes👍 ✅ Fully equipped rooms (Tea room + 24-hour butler service + coffee + zero-pressure mattress + full smart home + bathtub + wet and dry separation + smart toilet + eco-friendly furniture + 180-degree lighting + gifts + luggage pick-up and drop-off + airport transfer) The biggest surprise this stay!

The old town has many stone paths, so it’s recommended to wear comfortable shoes, or your feet will hurt after walking for a long time. 2. 💃 Special Experience 💃 Costume photo shoot: There are many shops renting ethnic costumes throughout the old town.
