Ready for a dreamy adventure? Let’s talk about the stunning Old Town of Lijiang, where ancient Chinese architecture meets snow-capped views under epic blue skies ☁️🏔️ Here’s how to soak in the town’s best, along with some game-changing local tips from my own walking tour! Top Spots to Visit: Old Town of Lijiang (Dayan Ancient City, Gucheng District, Lijiang City; open 24/7 year-round) You’ll want to stay right inside the ancient city—trust me, waking up surrounded by winding old alleys, flower-filled courtyards, and classic tiled roofs is pure Lijiang magic. Morning walks here feel like wandering through a living history book, especially when the sun lights up those historic buildings! Tip: Don’t be shy about getting lost. The best moments come from random strolls down smaller lanes (bring comfy shoes)—each twisting street brings its own vibe, from colorful flowers to close-up stonework and lanterns. 🌸🏮 For mind-blowing views, step out early and look up: the ancient rooftops against the snow mountains make for killer snaps (hello, mountain backdrop with endless blue sky). Evenings are dreamy too, with soft lights and local musicians drifting through the alleys. Getting Around: Walking rules in Lijiang Old Town—the town’s heart is pedestrian-friendly, so ditch the car and grab free maps at your hotel. If it rains, pack a light umbrella, but know the streets are just as atmospheric under cloudy skies. Food Rec: Try the local Lanzhou and Naxi cuisine at any Old Town eatery; for something iconic, hunt down "Lijiang Baba" pastries. #LijiangOldTown #AncientChina #DreamyTravel #TravelTips #tripdotcom
