The 3.8-square-kilometer old town of Lijiang is located in the Yunnan Guizhou Plateau, 2,400 meters above sea level.
Lijiang's old town was designated as a town around the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368).
Its architecture is noteworthy for its blending of many varied elements from several different cultures that have come together there over many centuries.
Lijiang may spoil you with its beauty. Snow-capped mountain vistas, ancient architecture and streets, canals and waterways, and the Naxi people and their distinct culture give Lijiang its universal value to mankind.
