About Lijiang

Lijiang is a Naxi town in north-west Yunnan, known for its canal-threaded old town and the snow peaks of Jade Dragon Mountain behind it.

The old town of Lijiang, a World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled lanes, stone bridges and clear canals, lined with tile-roofed wooden houses built by the Naxi people. Sifang Street is its busy square, the Mu family mansion recalls the Naxi chieftains who once ruled here, and the Black Dragon Pool park frames Jade Dragon Mountain in its still water. The Naxi Dongba script, a pictographic writing used by priests, appears on signs and souvenirs.
