1Black Dragon Pool (Northwest Gate)

National park
Black Dragon Pool, also known as Heilongtan, is a significant water source in Lijiang. It originates from the Yulong Snow Mountain and supplies the town through a network of canals and channels. The pool's streams reach every corner of the town, nurturing willow trees and over 350 unique bridges. This tranquil spot offers a refreshing escape from city life, with views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and a Buddhist temple on site.
Beautiful! 50RMB to get in from some entrances, BUT THERE ARE PLACES WHERE YOU CAN ENTER FOR FREE WHICH I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Instead of entering near the main attractions, enter at one of the “further” lakes. View where the Lijiang museum is on the map, and look to the road. Walking around there and further from the mai n attractions, there should be a way to get in. As of 6pm right now, multiple are open. Once inside, cross a bridge walk down towards the main attractions. This way, you’ll see the whole park, all the gorgeous lakes, and hopefully save some money lol. I paid and personally think it was worth it. It is beautiful, and if you explore the entire grounds, it could take 4+ hours. There is a 3-story Dongba culture museum (which is mostly in Chinese so I skimmed through) but was extremely interesting. There is a hike of Elephant Mountain, or 象山。 It provides great views of Lijiang, and both the starting and end points are in the park, or you could do it as an out and back, which is how I did it. It took me about 50minutes in total to get to the almost top (heard thunder and turned) and back down. However, I was really pushing and am very very active so doing the full hike could probably be 2+ hours, depending on pace. The hike is all paved and stairs. TLDR it’s really pretty and if you don’t enter from the main gates it could be free. If those gates are closed, come back closer to closing time.

The Black Dragon lake is part of Lijiang Ancient City. It’s a peaceful park with scenic view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the background. Not a must to visit but if you have additional time, take a stroll around this lake is rather therapeutic

Before sunset in winter season, the trees were looked warm and earthy. The place wasn’t so crowded that time as tourists likely visit at noon. We walked around, from the gate to small garden where people play games and sit, and we follow the pool and found a spot to take pictures that frame the beauty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, marble bridge, and the pool in one. Very pretty. If you’re in Lijiang and craving for a place to calm you mind and soul, to see a magical evening as the sun set and time stop just to appreciate your life, come to Black Dragon Pool around 4 PM.

Fee is 50 yuan which I find it kinda expensive. However, kid under 12 and elderly over 60 got free entry. To pay for ticket, you must have WeChat only. Nice garden and many spots to take nice photos. Con is toilet.

Shuhe Ancient Town, located near Lijiang in Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, is a well-preserved historic village with a 1,000-year history. Often called the 'Venice of the Orient' for its canals and stone bridges, Shuhe offers a peaceful alternative to the bustling Lijiang Old Town. The town features traditional Naxi architecture and cultural sites like the Square Market and Sifang Street.
Another small ancient town to explore in Lijiang. It’s definitely not as big as Lijiang old town and there are lesser people too. It’s selling the same things as the old town, so good to compare prices before getting. The toilets are quite so what dirty… so beware!

Compared to 白沙古镇, this town feels noticeably more deserted, with fewer visitors around. Most tourists, including my family and me, are often worn out after a day of exploring the more popular attractions. Seeking a break, we decided to find a cozy café to relax for a while.

Typical ancient town with rows of shops and commercialised atmosphere. Local attractions are also not interesting. While I was there , they had a nightly dance around a bonfire which is a highlight. But this bonfire night dance is also present at other ancient towns :)

This old town was beautiful, but pretty okay as it looked the same as the other touristic old towns within the Dali/Lijiang region. Quite enjoyable but not worth making an extra trip for.

Shuhe Ancient Town was not as impressive as expected. I found it quite commercialized, with many shops and little that felt truly unique or cultural. While it may be pleasant for a short walk, there wasn’t much that stood out for me. Overall, I would rate it 3 stars.

One of the quietest ancient towns you will find in Yunnan, this place is not particularly a tourism destination as it is still most residential owned. However, what is truly interesting was that this is only one out of three places In the world that you can find naturally grown spirulina - and you can purchase some home as well!

Attraction

Lijiang Old Town, with a history of over 800 years, was once a significant political and cultural center. It played a crucial role in trade among various Asian countries. The town's streets are filled with shops offering exquisite handicrafts, reflecting its past prosperity. Navigating the cobblestone streets can be challenging due to their similarity, but venturing away from crowded tourist spots reveals quieter, traditional areas and local-owned restaurants serving authentic cuisine at lower prices.
Ancient city towering over Lijiang.... has its unique character....a wide variety of shops and eateries. But not so convenient for the elderly and physically challenged visitors.
DENNIS T — Google review
This was my second time visiting to Lijiang Old Town (Dayan Ancient Town) and the first was back in 2001 with my family ,where the locals were still living in those houses here. 20years later, this place had became more vibrant, commercial and crowded. But I do understand that the main income source for some of them are from tourism. However, there are still some areas in the old town which was not crowded and worth exploring. I would suggest to take your time to walk away from the few main streets (around Mufu (木府)and Sanyanjing (三眼井) if you would like to explore the other sides of the old town, as it can get very crowded starting in late evening. The tour buses are usually dropping tourists at the north side of the town, where the Large Water Wheel located. You can try out their local delights such as flower biscuits in one of the shop on Sifang street, called MuLaoYe (木老爷鲜花饼). If you have extra time, can go up to Shizi Mountain to have night view. There are plenty of Inns available for stay in the town, but do mind the cobblestone streets might not be friendly to your luggage, do check with your Inn if they provide concierge service.

Be prepared for crowds, neon lights, squares with multiple musics at the same time....for shure nothing that could be referred as UNESCO protected. Old town is nice in the morning...what happens in the night is a shame. For shure is not a feeling of old town.

Beautiful old town to take a walk. Night time can be very crowded and chaotic, many local tourists clamouring to take photos and pushing. It is much more restful in the daytime/morning. Fewer shops open, but it is much more serene and relaxing to take a walk in. It is beautiful either way. Nighttime it is lit up with spectacular lights. But daytime you see the quiet beauty.

Lijiang Old Town is worthy of its recognition as a UNESCO heritage site. It has been well kept and maintained. It's such a pleasure walking along the ancient cobbled stone streets with their clean and clear canals running alongside. The houses maintain their old charm. Small stone bridges still connect the streets across their canals. Really a great experience.

Nestled in the heart of Yunnan Province, the Old Town of Lijiang is a captivating destination that transports visitors back in time. This ancient town, established during the late Song and early Yuan Dynasties, boasts over 800 years of history. Its charming cobblestone streets are lined with traditional Naxi houses, creating a picturesque setting enhanced by serene streams and quaint bridges.
We are staying in the old town so spent lotsa time exploring this place which is a maze. I can see many stores selling the same food items too. Very nice place with many pubs.

Lijiang Ancient Town is always lively, especially at night when the streets are crowded with people, food stalls, and music. It is very commercial, but that also means there’s a wide variety of good food, bars, and cultural shows to enjoy. The town blends a traditional setting with a bustling, modern nightlife atmosphere—an interesting fusion that makes it both vibrant and unique.
Michael H — Google review
The town feels like a step back in time. Cobblestone streets wind through clusters of traditional wooden Naxi-style houses, their dark timber frames and curved tiled roofs reflected in narrow canals. Red lanterns hang outside teahouses, and small bridges arch gracefully over the waterways. A must visit when in China! Also, be sure to visit the traditional costume shops to immerse your cultural experience!
Lan N — Google review
I really like exploring the ancient town here, even though I know the buildings are newly renovated and not actually ancient, but the look and feel is there. It’s also super convenient to eat, and things are really cheap (I live in America so cheap is relative). There are unique experiences here that highlight the local culture such as the mushroom hot pot (Lijiang is known for their diverse variety of mushrooms). Because we went during off-peak season it wasn’t overt crowded so it was nice. After dark the lights turn on and there’s street performers (there was even a concert stage performance the day we were there) which is all free to watch.

Visited last October — just amazing, no other word for it. The old town has this magical vibe with cobblestone streets, canals, and mountain views that make you feel like you stepped into another world. I even shot my cover of Cry Me a River by JT right there, that’s how inspiring the place was. A must-see if you ever get the chance. 🌄🎶

I recently visited lijiang old town and was pleasantly surprised by how great the overall experience was. The prices were very reasonable, definitely a good bargain for what you get. The environment felt clean, comfortable, and welcoming, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy your time. Another big plus was how convenient the payment process was. They accept Touch ‘n Go, so paying was quick and easy without any hassle. Overall, I had a really good impression it's affordable, comfortable, and modern. I’d definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good value and a pleasant atmosphere.

Lijiang's beautiful scenery can be seen everywhere and its folk customs are simple. The perfect combination of music, handicrafts, and ancient city scenery is like a perfect concerto.

(Translated by Google) YuFeng Temple (China Yunnan, Lijiang, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, 玉湖段白沙乡 邮政编码: 674101) is a temple that compiles the unique Dongba culture of the Naxi people. The Naxi people used their own hieroglyph, Dongba. It is still used to this day. The priest of Dongpo religion Dongpamanshinwon, which enshrines all the gods believed in by Dongpa and Dongpa religion, is located on the site of a famous site in Baesan Imsu on the hillside of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. In the 10,000Gods Garden, the philosophical world of the Naxi people, including Totem Buddhism and Taoism, is carved into a brilliant artistic masterpiece of Dongpo Buddhism, which plays a role in understanding the Dongpo religion of the Naxi people. Two huge totem poles stand at the main gate and the 240m long God Chart Road. There are two god gates and the two highest god staffs of the Dongpa. The left side of the axis is the god's area, and the right side is the ghost area, so there is a division between humans and gods and ghosts. It shows the relationship well.  It is interesting that Eros Park exists, and I think that human life is similar everywhere. It is also surprising that ghosts have existed since ancient times. The white sand mural, Naxi Tokyo music, and Dongba characters are rare treasures that symbolize the Naxi people and are human assets that must be preserved forever. I thought: It is about 20km away from Baeksu River in Namwolgok, and the entrance fee is 20 won. (Original) 동파 만신원(YuFeng Temple.

The Ancient City Zhongyi Market is a bustling hub of local life in Lijiang Old Town, where the Naxi people gather to buy and sell fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities while dressed in traditional costumes. Visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant scenes of everyday life and sample local snacks. The market offers a wide array of items including cooked food, raw food, clothes, and daily necessities at affordable prices.
This is a hidden gem of a market, largely frequented by locals rather than tourists, which gives it an authentic, unpolished vibe. It’s a fantastic spot for anyone looking to experience the day-to-day life of Lijiang. The market is full of colorful fruit stalls, delicious street food, wet markets with fresh produce, and all kinds of daily essentials. Prices here are much more affordable than in the more tourist-heavy areas of the city. If you’re looking for a true local experience and great deals, this is definitely the place to visit!

I saw a video of this important and ancient place! It seems like a dying art form that is not only historic but very beautiful. Their oldest band member is 101! Please go and support and see the gorgeous venue and unique instruments that are centuries years old and were hidden during the Cultural Revolution. Check out ZoeyXinYiGong’s video. I definitely want to go one day.

(Translated by Google) Come to Lashihai and look for the road that the caravan once walked Like traveling through time and space In order to preserve nature, the local government took back the original land of the local people and distributed it to each family. The residents were afraid that vicious competition would damage the tourism resources, so they centralized the management of the horses. This way, the residents' annual income is more than 100,000 yuan, and job opportunities are guaranteed. The guy who leads the horses here is always very calm and reminds us not to rush and to take our time. Definitely an unforgettable travel experience (Original) 來到拉市海 尋馬幫曾走過的路 彷如時空穿越 當地政府為了保持自然 將當地人原有的土地收回 一家分發兩頭馬 居民深怕惡性競爭 壞了旅遊資源 故將馬兒集中管理 這樣居民一年的收入也有十多萬元人民幣 又保障了工作機會 所以這裡牽馬的小哥 總是不疾不徐的 反倒提醒我們不要著急 慢慢來 絕對是一個難忘的旅遊體驗

The wetland itself is fine. But don’t fall for the tourist trap. Should’ve read the reviews first. The mule ride is not worth it, there is barely any view to see and a lot of garbage along the way. The guide provides some info (only mandarin) but has a poor attitude and speaks too fast for someone who isn’t fluent, and the boat ride is just a slow boat along the canal to get back to the original drop off point, no view. The whole place feels like it must’ve pretty good 15 years ago but they never maintained it.

Sorry, but this is not a hotel. This is a historic site. It’s the historic mansion once belonging to General Mu. There is an entrance fee and you can get a guide to take you around. There is no written information provided so a bit hard to figure out the history unless you have a guide. You can take the 300 steps to the pagoda at the top of the hill but once you get there you have to pay an additional fee to get to the overlook. If you do pay, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views of the old town and surrounding area.

Baishui River and Blue Moon Valley is actually next to each other. Blue Moon Valley is formed by the melting snow and glaciers from the mountains, which flow down along the cliffs. The water was so transparent! View also nice. Lots of couple came here for shooting wedding photo.
J-Ho C — Google review
Blue Moon Valley is absolutely stunning the meltwater from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain creates the most intense, unbelievable turquoise blue lakes. It truly feels like walking through a painting. The White Water Terraces and the mountain backdrop make for incredible photos. • Tip: Go on a sunny day for the best color, and consider walking the whole length instead of taking the shuttle for the best views! Can be crowded, but worth it.

It is famous for its series of vibrant turquoise lakes and waterfalls, which are formed by glacier-meltwater that is rich in minerals.

Wangu Tower, also known as Wangu Tower, is a remarkable 5-story wooden pavilion situated atop Lion Hill in Lijiang. Constructed in traditional Chinese style in 1997, this iconic structure offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lijiang Old Town and its surroundings. From the tower's vantage point, visitors can admire the meandering rivers to the east, the modern town to the west, and the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain range to the north.
Lovely walk up and away from the busy streets below. Nice tower architecture and carvings. View from the tower is as expected though windows are largely closed with small gaps. Access Mu Mansion directly from the exit with another ticket purchase. Recommended to combine the 2 sights.

Enjoyable tour of 万鼓楼. paranoia view of Li Jiang lots of grey roof top of the ancient town. The wooden pavilion was reconstructed in 1997 as part of the Lijiang areas’ declaration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wangu Pavilion means ‘the pavilion of everlasting clarity’

Nice place that can see lijiang views from the top. Luckily there are not so many people when we went there.. just a little exhaust because we climb those stairs from MuFu to WanGuLou

It's great to visit in the late afternoon. The temple is lovely, and the panoramic views are worth the climb and admission.
Cori — Google review
When we bought the ticket to the old town (¥80) we were told that it included all other entries but then we came to this one and they said we had to buy another ticket​ for ¥50... If you only want the rooftop views, not go to the top of the hill, you can buy a drink on the bars next door and enjoy the view.
