Lijiang is a nirvana of blue sky, white clouds and beautiful scenery. Towering about the cobblestones of UNESCO World Heritage Site Lijiang Old Town are the icy peaks of Yulong Snow Mountain.
LSituated high above the snow mountains of China’s Yunnan province, Liiang is the original location of the semi-mythical “Shangri-La”. The area around Lijiang is rich with ethnic minority people, including both the Naxi with their rich musical traditions, and the matriarchal Mosuo tribes of Lugu lake.
Lijiang is a superb place to explore the cultures of China’s borderlands such as Naxi, Mosuo and Lisu, as well as the heritage of the ancient Tea Horse Road. No wonder that this ancient capital has a special place in the world’s imagination
