Features: Although titled New Compendium of Lijiang Scenery and Culture, this book is not entirely a "new compilation" because Lijiang has never had a dedicated shopping guide published before. However, it strives to meet the requirements of being a "new compilation." The chapters are written to embody the characteristics of being "new," as well as "famous," "unique," and "significant." The book does not aim to cover everything in Lijiang in exhaustive detail but instead presents a fresh perspective, exploring historical and cultural dimensions to showcase new materials, achievements, and discoveries. It highlights Lijiang's distinctive, extraordinary, internationally and domestically renowned, locally famous, historically and practically important, and major people and events. The sources used are accurate, the cultural quality is high, and the language is elegant and concise. The narrative is both informative and engaging, combining documentary value with readability. During the compilation process, the geographical focus is on Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County and Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, with coverage extending to Yongsheng and Huaping counties. The content centers on scenic spots, historical sites, folk customs, ethnic cultures, and famous historical figures, supplemented by local specialties, rare birds and animals, unique flora and fauna, as well as transportation and tourism facilities.
