My experience for Lijiang travel

The guide told us many Chinese couples like to choose Lijiang for their wedding holidays, for its peace, softness and romantic. Many people inclined to choose Lijiang to be their living place for the rest life. For Lijiang visit, hereunder are some of my own experience:

1. Besides the well known streets as the Square Street, the Qiyi Road, the Wuyi Road, where you may come across lots of visitors and find lines of stores which is also very beautiful, but always feel lack of something. Highly recommend to walk along some little lanes deep into the old town. You will be wrapped in the tranquility of the town. Along the street, you may meet some Naxi nannas weaving at the gate, or some girls doing washing. This is the authentic Lijiang.

2. Take as many photos as you can. Every corner in Lijiang could be a perfect scenery picture with its peculiar flavor. No matter take enough photoes of the people, don''t miss the particular sceneries there. Any photo you took casually may win the photograph contest.

3. Pondering at times is the must way to feel the ture Lijiang. Pondering on two dogs playing with each other, staring at a lonely flagstone, can all bring you lots fun.

Last but not the least, do pick up a clean and comfortable hotel.
