丽江古城
Lijiang Old Town is a UNESCO-listed Naxi cultural gem with a living water system, ancient pictographic script, and a maze of cobblestone lanes. Visit early or late to avoid crowds and experience its authentic charm.
Climb Wangu Tower on Lion Hill for the best panoramic view—go at sunset for golden light and fewer crowds. Skip the Sifang Street restaurants; head to Zhongyi Lane for local noodle shops and Naxi hotpot. Arrive before 8 AM to see the town empty and hear the water canals undisturbed.
Open 24 hours (gates open, but pedestrian-only from 8 AM to 11 PM)
Free entry (no ticket required; passport registration at main gates)
4-5 hours (or overnight for full experience)
