Old Town of Lijiang, The town has a history going back more than 1,000 years and was once a confluence for trade along the "Old Tea Horse Caravan Trail". The Dayan Old town is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges, a system fast becoming. #OldTownofLijiang #China
#TroveOn Lijiang is a bit touristy for my liking but it's still fun to explore and get lost in the small alleys. Especially beautiful at night. Walk up the hill to see the lights from above.
