Leap of adventure

It is worth spending a day or two in Lijiang to see the picturesque old town with its maze of cobblestone streets and canals.

I have a date with Lijiang

Splendid landscapes, the exotic ways of the Naxi ethnic group and the precious Dongba Culture make up the unique city of Lijiang. Each year it attracts a great number of visitors from home and abroad.
