Features: Lijiang Ancient Town is the central town of Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County in Yunnan Province. It is the oldest and finest example of the "harmony between humans and nature" that the world today strives to achieve. Lijiang Ancient Town is also known as Dayan Ancient Town, a paradise for the Naxi people for 800 years. The place is connected by spring and autumn all year round, with a pleasant climate and abundant rainfall. When the ancient town was first built, the Yuquan Spring water was divided into three parts, and then further divided into nine, allowing the spring water to flow throughout the city, visible on every street.
