What was Old Town of Lijiang like in Xu Xiake's travels?

1636, Xu Xiake, a 5 1 year-old Ming Dynasty traveler, set out from his hometown of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, and began his last and long-distance investigation trip.

Two years later, Xu Xiake entered Yunnan from Guizhou. When Xu Xiake walked into Old Town of Lijiang and walked on the streets paved with colorful gravel, he was fascinated by the scenery of Lijiang. In the later Travels of Xu Xiake, we can also see the features of Old Town of Lijiang at that time: the water on the dock and the surrounding fields. Among them, there are streams coming up from Dongshan, and the irrigated fields are wider. Who started from Wenbi Mountain in the southwest, followed Nanshan to the east, followed Dongyuan Mountain to the east, crossed Sansheng Bridge and joined Erhui River, so the three rivers joined together, forming the source of Yangyang River ... From Xu Xiake's travel notes, we can touch the figure of this ancient civilization more than 300 years ago and feel the huge structure of ancient culture.
