Chongqing is a city full of beautiful mountains and rivers, while Lijiang and Dali are two scenic cities in southwest my country. If you plan to travel to Chongqing, Lijiang and Dali, I recommend you to visit in the following order.

You can choose to depart from Chongqing and take a plane or train to Lijiang. Lijiang is an ancient city in Yunnan Province, known as the "Venice of the East" and famous for its unique folk culture and beautiful natural scenery.
