How to have fun at Jixiangyuan?
Start your journey from Lijiang Ancient Town Jixiangyuan International Hotel (Xianghe Commercial Plaza) and explore the ancient town 🎉
🚗 Transportation:
The hotel is conveniently located about a 15–20 minute walk from Lijiang Ancient Town. You can enjoy the street shops and local life along the way. If you don't want to walk, you can take a taxi to the entrance of the ancient town for the starting fare.
🌅 Travel route:
Enter the ancient town from the entrance near Zhongyi Market. There are fewer people in the morning, so you can first check in at Sifang Street, where you can see the bluestone road and traditional Naxi buildings and feel the ancient charm. Then stroll along Wuyi Street, where there are many literary shops, handicrafts, and special clothes 👗. If you are tired, you can find a coffee shop to sit in ☕.
At noon, you can have delicious Ama Lapaigu (spicy pork ribs) in the ancient town. In the afternoon, you can visit Mufu to learn about the history and culture of Lijiang and admire the magnificent architecture. Then walk along Qiyi Street to the Big Waterwheel, a landmark check-in point. The waterwheel is beautifully lit at night, and the nearby bar street is bustling. You can choose a quiet bar to listen to folk songs and end your day in a relaxing way.
💡 Tips:
The stone road in the ancient town is not easy to walk on, so wear comfortable sneakers 👟. Buy water before entering the ancient town, as it is more expensive inside. Don't follow the people who try to attract customers, as you may be scammed.
You won't get tired of visiting the ancient town multiple times from the hotel, as it has different charms during the day and at night. Come and immerse yourself in the charm of Lijiang Ancient Town 💖
