1. The Big Waterwheel

The Big Waterwheel can be said to be the symbol of Lijiang Old Town Architecture, after coming to the ancient city, if you don't see such a large waterwheel, then such a trip can be said to be incomplete.

The water flows down from the Black Dragon Pool, pushing the waterwheel around regardless of spring, summer, autumn or winter. There is no shortage of people taking photos with the waterwheel around it. After seeing the waterwheel, you can go to the nearby wishing forest and make a wish here.

2. Wangu Tower

Wangu Tower is the best place to overlook the entire ancient city. It towers high in the mountains and stands out from the crowd.

Start along the stone road washed over time, all the way to Lion Rock. There are many very interesting shops on the road. When you enter Lion Rock Park, the Wangu Tower stands here. When you first see the Wangu Tower, you will definitely be attracted by it. This kind of building is shocking. It is 33 meters high. Every brick and tile is full of the charm of Chinese architecture. You can have a panoramic view of the ancient city from the top of the building.

3. Sifang Street

Sifang Street is one of the must-visit landmarks in Lijiang Old Town. It used to be the trading center of the ancient city and was very lively.

Nowadays, Sifang Street is also a must-pass for tourists in Lijiang Old Town. Every day, local Naxi grannies dance enthusiastically, attracting many people to watch. When the group came here to travel, they joined the team to feel the enthusiasm of the locals.

4. Xianwen Alley

Lijiang Old Town is famous for its oil-paper umbrellas. In Xianwen Alley, small umbrellas of various colors hang under the blue sky and white clouds. The "Jiangnan" feeling of the ancient city has intensified.

There are various small shops on both sides of the alley, adding to the pyrotechnic atmosphere of the alley. The ancient charm here is strong, but whether you are wearing national costumes or modern clothes, you can perfectly blend into it. Every frame is full of charm. Like a scroll.

Duanzi bought an oil-paper umbrella as a souvenir in a small shop, and it is still hanging on the wall of Tuanzi’s room.

5. Zhongyi Market

Speaking of fireworks, the most pyrotechnic place in the ancient city is Zhongyi Market.

When the first ray of sunshine shines in the morning, the breakfast stalls here are already crowded with people. Vegetable farmers bring the freshest vegetables here to sell. The various fruit stalls are like colorful puzzles. Create a colorful market like this.

There is also a night market here when night falls. It is the night market that the dumplings come to visit. Buy a handful of mutton skewers at a stall, eat while browsing the entire night market, and feel the fireworks of the entire ancient city.

Itinerary:

First of all, Tuanzi came to Lijiang by plane. You must not drive by yourself, because the parking fees here are sky-high and unaffordable.

On the first day, Tuanzi got off the plane and went to the ancient city. Because he had booked a hotel in advance, it was right in the city.

On the second day, the group visited four scenic spots: Dashuiche Sifang Street and Xianwen Lane Zhongyi Market.

On the third day, Tuanzi visited all the remaining attractions and the entire ancient city in two days.

In fact, most people only need one day to visit Lijiang Old Town, because when you come to Yunnan, you don’t just visit Lijiang Old Town.

After everyone visited the Old Town of Lijiang, Tuanzi also recommended that everyone visit other scenic spots in Yunnan.
