Lion Hill

In the morning, I pick you up at hotels at 9:00 am.

We start at the Big Water Wheels. The water wheels had been used for the milling and irrigating systems, now only for decorations. Just by the water wheels is the landmark for the title of Lijiang Dayan Ancient Town, World Cultural Heritage.

After the water wheels, we step into the narrow pub alley with a clear stream going through it. It gives you a feeling to experience the time tunnel how the Naxi people lived and worked in the old town since it was built 800 years ago. Today it is a very good place to relax and have a drink in the day, and also a paradise  for the young guys to let them have the own way at night.

Next we climb to the top of the Lion Hill, Wangulou Pavilion to shoot the panorama of the old town, the new town and the Yulong Snow Mountain.

Square Market had been a real market before 1998, you could notice how the former natives washed the square everyday after the busy business. And today it is also a landmark where the Kegongfang Archway is soaring on the west, showing people the cultural exchange between Naxi minority and Han people.

After lunch, we walk along the Jade River to the Heilongtan Park in 20 minutes. The park is picturesque. At the picture point you can shoot the Five-archway Bridge, The Moon-near Pavilion, One-penny Pavilion and Yulong Snow Mountain far away, and their reflections in the mirror-like lake.

Then we go through the antique tree forest to the Naxi museum. There you will know what the Naxi Pictograph looks like and the customs of Naxi minority.

The price is starting from 1 person, including guiding and entrances fee.
