What is there to do near Lijiang?

1: Nanxi Village

A wonderland comparable to Shangri-La.

Lijiang Nanxi Village is about 24 kilometers away from Lijiang Ancient City on the other side of Wenbi Peak. You can take a van to Wenbi Peak in half an hour! This is the Naxi village with the highest altitude and the most unique geographical location in Lijiang. If you want to go to Nanxi Village, first go to Wenfeng Temple to worship Buddha, then walk along a path next to the temple to Lingdong halfway up the mountain, and then walk to Nanxi Village along a dirt road just saved in Lingdong. It is almost 12 kilometers from Wenfeng Temple to Nanxi Village. It's much more comfortable to take the short route and you can reach the village in an hour.

What to see: The highest altitude, Naxi ancient village, and beautiful flowers.

Two: Tai'an Township

The beautiful virgin land under the Yulong Snow Mountain

Distance from Yulong County, Lijiang Tai'an Township, which is 27 kilometers away, has a unique pastoral landscape in summer. Large tracts of potato flowers and rapeseed flowers complement each other, and the flowers are in full bloom and colorful. Admire Tai'an's sea of ??flowers, taste farm food, and appreciate Dongba culture. Many times, I just go there to see the blue sky and white clouds that are closer to the sky, breathe the purer air, roam freely in the mountains and fields, appreciate the natural scenery of the different seasons, and of course, take photos as you like! In Tai'an, you can completely relax your body and mind!

Intoxicated in In the paradise of pure land on earth

You may have been to Ganhaizi and Lashihai in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and you may have heard of Wenhai in Baisha, but few people have been to Jiuzihai.

Lijiang was originally exquisite

Baisha Ancient Town is the most popular among these small attractions, but it is still relatively quiet compared to Dayan and Shuhe.

As early as when King Nanzhao of the Tang Dynasty named Jade Dragon Snow Mountain "Beiyue", Mu's ancestor King Lijiang began to build Baisha Street and Beiyue Temple here. In addition, if you have certain attainments in painting, you can also take a look at the Baisha murals. Baisha murals are eclectic and unique to various religious cultures and art schools.

Attractions: Naxi original ecology, Ming and Qing architectural complexes, white sand murals.

Coordinates: 10 kilometers north of Lijiang City, adjacent to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the north, Longquan in the south, and Yizhi Mountain in the west.
