Lijiang Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Lijiang in China.
Known as the Venice of the Far East, Lijiang is an historic old Chinese town in the northwest province of Yunnan. It was the centre of the Naxi, a Tibetan-Tobirmanic nation that had an impressive and unique culture. Dayan, Lijiang's old town, contains an intriguing variety of canals and waterways. It developed at the beginning of the 12th century, during the Late Song epoch.The picturesque centre of the old town of Dayan is an architectural jewel. Numerous streams and three rivers flow through the historic part of the town and there are several beautiful stone bridges that date back to the time of both the Ming and Qing dynasties.For over 470 wonderful years of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties each of the Naxi rulers came from the Mu family and for more than twenty-two generations life in and around Lijiang was led by this family until in 1723 the Qing Dynasty appointed a new government, thus the Mu era came to an end.

LIJIANG: Travel Guide | Old Town (Full HD) Yunnan, China
Lijiang Old Town is located in Lijiang in northwestern Yunnan Province. The Old Town dates back roughly 1000 years and is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town is filled with traditional architecture, several canals, traditional and modern shops, and flowers everywhere. The main ethnic minority in this area are the Naxi (Nashi). Their culture has been passed down and can be seen in the architecture, clothing, music, dancing, cuisine, and wares throughout the old town and surrounding areas. To get to Lijiang I took the night train from Kunming for roughly $20 USD and returned to Kunming by fast train for roughly $30 USD. You can also fly or bus into Lijiang from Kunming as well.

Where we stayed:
We slept at the Zen Garden Hotel. The room was a littlebit disappointing for the price, but you also pay for the great location in the middle of the old town! And eventually the bed was good. Cookies are amazing, hotel staff is friendly, and just walking out the door you walk into the old town. The common room is very beautiful.

Lijiang, The Forgotten Kingdom (Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, episode 11)
Russian-born author Peter Goullart was the first Westerner to dub the village of Lijiang 'The Forgotten Kingdom'. The local Naxi people, their town and the surrounding countryside captured his heart back in the 1930s. He ended up staying for almost a decade. In this episode of Yunnan: The China You Never Knew, host Jordan Porter follows in the footsteps of Goullart and countless others, as he explores this UNESCO World Heritage site.
In the series, we follow Chinese food and alcohol expert Jordan Porter as he crisscrosses western Yunnan. Along the way, he learns about indigenous cultures, samples fantastic local food and speaks with the people who call this unique corner of China home. For more about Destination China and Yunnan province, see the following links:

Show host Jordan Porter is an entrepreneur, writer and the founder of Chengdu Food Tours and the Chengdu Baijiu Club. Originally from Canada, he has lived Sichuan's capital since 2010 and is driven by a passion for the food and drink of southwest China. When not writing or eating, he enjoys driving around the countryside, talking to farmers, exploring mountains and listening to rock'n'roll.

#Lijiang, #China
27 October 2016
In our China #Tour we visited Lijiang as well. Lijiang has a nice old town. It is really nice to walk through the old town. Lijiang is very popular for young #Chinese people. Especial when they are going to marry. In the Lijiang Old #City you find good restaurants and a lot of bars.
Our highlight was the 5.596 meter high Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. You can climb the #mountain by cable car up to 4.506 meter. Then you walk up to 4.591m. Unfortunately there was too much snow. We had to turn at 4.567.
In the same Yulong Snow Mountain National Scenic Area you can also find the Blue Moon Valley. It is the place to make some pictures for just married couples.

Discovering ‘Old Town’ in LiJiang, China - with @caitofalltraits
A friend’s destination wedding took me to LiJiang, China, and it was one of the most breathtaking places I’d ever visited. And of course... I discovered Lijiang Street food specialties, which includes some unconventional animals and a new way of eating cheese! DELICIOUS!!
We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel which was a marvelous place, partly because one of the town’s main attractions, ‘GuCheng’ or ‘Old Town’ is situated in its back-yard, accessible in minutes by foot.
Needless to say, we went back each of the 3 days that we were there, to take in the sights and sounds, follow the trail to the legendary ‘Black Dragon Pool’, and buy souvenirs unique to YUNAN and LiJiang, that we discovered only by being at the mountain town, 2400ft above sea-level.
Don’t miss the snippets of the stunning wedding of Chervin and Krystal Chow-Tan, Founders of @bluesky.escapes who expertly put together this fantastic experience for their guests.
What a magical trip this has been.

Fresh off of the bus and into the city! We arrived at Lijiang in the late afternoon and immediately made our way to the Ancient City by motorised cart for RMB 20 for each of us. The ride was quick and took less than 15 minutes.
Upon entering the Ancient City we made a point of first finding an inn to stay at for the night. We wandered through a few streets and charming alleys until we came upon a quaint inn which cost us RMB ... for the night. If we had booked online, we could have gotten the room for RMB 50! Nevertheless we were happy with the standard of accommodation and the price we paid. After checking in and setting our bags in the room, we decided to go into the city to eat and explore!
