Dragon Pool

Favorite thing: Lijiang is UNESCO World Heritage Town since 1999. The well preserved Oldtown with the narrow streets, old houses and many street cafes is definitively worth a visit.

Terraced Fields

Favorite thing: Lijiang is located in a valley, and thus the fertile plain can be used for agriculture. Terraced fields can be seen from the airport into the city of Lijiang.

Lijiang Old Men

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

vigi 1194 reviews

Fondest memory: A group of old men chatting and relaxing under a big tree in DongDa Street. Beacuse of the dry weather and strong sunlight, most Yunnan people have tan skin and rickles on their faces.

Favorite thing: Lijiang is a great place to watch people, for hiking and just hanging around. Just opposite of the bus station is this Mao-Statue which is home for a lot of doves.
