Description: | Situated 200 kilometers to northwest of Dali, Lijiang is celebrated for its rich local Naxi ethnic minority culture, magnificent snowy mountains and picturesque sceneries. Major Tourist Attractions The Old Town of Lijiang: An old town which is one of the world cultural heritage sites and it covers an area of 3.8 square kilometers. The town is surrounded by tree-covered mountains on all sides with crystal clear water running in the middle of it and it was built in the middle of a flatland at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain. As the layout of the town resembles a big jade ink slab, hence the name - "Dayan Zheng" (the Town of Big Ink Slab). Black Dragon Pool: A park which is situated just at the foot of Elephant Hill with the reflection of Yulong Snow Mountain in the pool. Structures include the One-cent Pavilion, Moon-Embracing Hall, Five-Phoenix Hall and the Five-Arch Bridge are found here. Along the side of Elephant Hill, there are also a number of springs that flows out of the Pool. To the south of the pool is a small waterfall where the water also flows into the old town of Lijiang. Yulong (Jade Dragon) Snow Mountain: A snow-capped mountain with the highest point of 5596 meters.

There are cable cars that will bring you to a height of 4506 meters above sea level. Looking from afar, the mountain range resembles a jade dragon, hence the name - "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain". First Bend of Yangtze River: A sharp turn of Yangtze River from the south to the north which formes part of a spectacular view. Tiger Leaping Gorge: A gorge which lies between Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain and it is about 55 kilometers north of Lijiang. A tiger was said to leap across the gorge with the help of a large rock in the middle of the rapid river, hence the name - "Tiger Leaping Gorge".
