"Lijiang - is it real?" Lijiang by Ines28

Lijiang Travel Guide: 567 reviews and 1,869 photos

Lijiang is probably the most beautiful place I've ever been to. The old chinese houses, the canals throughout the city, the bridges and the cobblestoned streets are unbelievably beautiful. If there weren't the many small shops and chinese tourist groups with their identical hats, you might think you just jumped back in time for about a couple of decades. And as if this wasn't already enough, you will be spoiled on clear days with the stunning sight of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:lots of great views, cozy atmosphere
  • Cons:None!
  • In a nutshell:The place is too beautiful to be true!

    yes, it s hard to believe that it is real, It's is just a nice place to go to get away from the city.
