Everywhere in the old town: Souvenirs of all kind

    Small shops in the old town
    by Ines28
    Lijiang is the perfect place to buy souvenirs and local handicraft. Woodcarving, old chinese advertising posters, combs, tea, herbs, clothes, bags, books about Lijiang, dried yak meat and lots more can be found in every street of the old town. Many shops have nearly the same things, so compare and don't forget to bargain!

    A small talisman for the car for example will cost about 10 Yuan, a piece of woodcarving about 100 Yuan, and a poster about 30 Yuan (not so sure about that)

    One of the few souvenirs we did buy which was not available anywhere else was these supposedly Naxi clay figurines and wall hangings. Whether or not they are truly authentic is open to debate but they were different.

    About A$8.00

    If you love shopping, you'll spend 2 or 3 days just shopping around in Lijiang. There are just tooo many!

    The local crafts are really cute and not expensive compared with those in Europe. But as mentioned in my tourist trap tip, please bargain and compare the price.

    Wax printed cloth, silver bracelets, necklace, wooden plates, hand printed T-shirt (you can choose the design and people will draw it for you. ready within half an hour.

    Not every shop accepts credit card.

    by FreeCloud
    Many souvenir shops (lined side by side along major streets in Dayan) sell various items from batik clothes/table cloth, Chinese herbs, dry mushrooms (many types of wild mushroom grown in Yun Nan provinces. I bought 6 types of them), teas, clothes, Naxi or Bai or other ethnic group traditional custumes, handmade wood carving pieces, and so on.

    Cash. Hardly anywhere accepts credit card in town.

    Where's fluffy?
    by honurox
    If you can find a gift for the person who has everything, them you might just have the perfect gift for them. I nice dog skin. These skins have not been turned into a piece of clothes yet, so you would just wear it drapped over your sholder.
    For a few extra RMB you can get the one with the painted on tiger strips. You'll be the envy of all youfrinds with your new dog-tiger skin out fit

    I don't know if the lanterns are for sale or not, but they're pretty interesting to look at and form part of a store near the restaurant area.
