The Lijiang Ancient Town has been a commercial, political and cultural center of the Naxi people and other ethnic groups for over eight centuries.

As a UNESCO World Heritage Site approved in 1997, Lijiang, with its Naxi people, still preserve much of their native Dongba culture and deep spiritual connection to nature.

Lijiang may spoil you with its beauty. Snow-capped mountain vistas, ancient architecture and streets, canals and waterways, and the Naxi people and their distinct culture combine to make Lijiang leave a lasting cultural value to humankind. The aged wooden buildings decked with hanging red lanterns and local musicians playing their centuries-old Naxi instruments in the time-worn streets, display a lifestyle and culture that seem lost in time.
