Top Tips
Consider staying somewhere in the maze of alleyways that make up the Old Town of Lijiang. There are much more dining and accommodation options here than in other parts of the city, and much more English being used too.
Don’t forget to visit Black Dragon Pool Park for those archetypal views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (玉龙雪山).
If you’re in the area and like hiking, you’ll no doubt be pressing on to complete the Tiger Leaping Gorge 3-Day Hike or something similar. This is a fantastic and not-too-strenuous hike, and the trail starts not too far from Lijiang.
Lijiang sits at over 2,000m of elevation, so be prepared for it to be cooler than other parts of Yunnan.
