The commanding height next to Old Town of Lijiang is the best angle to overlook the panoramic view of the ancient city.

Introduction of scenic spots

Wanlou, located at the top of Lion Mountain in the west of Old Town of Lijiang, is the manor building of the ancient Mu Tusi family. Its pavilions are carved with scenery, and its appearance is very atmospheric. In addition, Wangulou is an excellent place to watch and photograph the panoramic view of Old Town of Lijiang. Visitors who like photography will not miss it.

Climbing Lion Mountain from the west side of Old Town of Lijiang takes about half an hour to an hour to reach the Wangulou area. Although there is an angle overlooking the ancient city along the way, it is not as open and spectacular as the Wangu Building. Standing in the scenic spot, the gray roofs of the ancient city are patchwork, and the rugged Yulong Snow Mountain with white peaks stands in the distance. The scenery here is picturesque, and many widely circulated photographic blockbusters were shot from here.

The ancient building itself is also a building worth visiting. This attic has 13 corners, symbolizing the thirteen peaks of Yulong. There are 2,300 auspicious patterns, such as Dai Yue, dotted with stars, all of which are very beautiful, representing 23 ethnic groups living in Lijiang. In addition, there are dragon patterns, caissons and stone carvings. Each has its own characteristics. Don't miss them when you visit.
