Lijiang in northwest Yunnan is known for its well-preserved old town and the holy Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. With canals, stone bridges and Naxi music, it is the perfect place to slow down and enjoy 'soft time'.

Lijiang Old Town

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the old town charms with Sifang Street, the Great Water Wheels and winding lanes. At night, lanterns and flowing water create a romantic mood.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

The mountain is snow-capped year-round; take the big cable car up to Glacier Park. Below, Blue Moon Valley glows emerald like a fairyland and is a popular photo spot.

Towns and around

Shuhe Old Town is quieter than Dayan; Lashi Lake offers horse-riding and boating; Tiger Leaping Gorge is famed for its dramatic cliffs, with further trips on to Shangri-La.
