Lijiang, previously unknown to the public, has risen to become an international tourist city renowned at home and abroad.
China's accelerated urbanization and booming tourism have threatened the preservation of ancient villages that have retained the local culture for thousands of years.
Winter is the best season to visit Huangshan if you want to enjoy the sea of clouds, especially at sunrise.
After 30 years of reform and opening-up, Lijiang has developed into a world famous tourism site from an unknown small town.
According to the Lugu Lake scenic administration, a big snow storm hit Lugu Lake on the night of Jan 9.
Because of the warm weather and diverse culture, celebrating Chinese New Year in Lijiang ancient town is a good choice.
The 2015 Lijiang Photography Collection Activity, themed “Flavor of Winter and Beauty of Spring”, started on Jan 1.
