Even though part of it is teeming with mostly local tourists, the old town of Lijiang is a very pretty place where you can easily spend several days exploring.
Apart from wandering the alleys and streets of the old town of Lijiang, it is a good idea to go up the Lion Hill and climb the Wan Gou Lou Pagoda for good views of the old town as well as Jade Dragon Snow mountain to the north. While the some of the streets fill up during the day, waking up early to catch the first rays of sunlight on the cobblestone streets certainly is worth the while. We spent quite some time watching the traditionally dressed Naxi women walking down the old streets on which the early morning light was casting long shadows, while delicate rays of sunlight seemed to fall off the roofs of the houses, onto the pavement.
