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.
When we arrived and walked through the old town in search of a guesthouse, we were amazed by the amount of Chinese tourists. They were everywhere; the narrow streets were so full that at times you could only shuffle ahead - no cars are allowed into the old city. Nevertheless, the town quickly won our hearts, also because the tourist area is just a small, concentrated part of the much bigger old town of Lijiang. Dayan, as the old town is correctly called, has lots of charm left: narrow cobblestone streets, canals, wooden and stone bridges, willows, courtyards, small squares, stone city gates... Moreover, the Naxi people are still very present and still seem in charge of the old town. Still, it was absolutely amazing to see the vibrant city which must have one of the highest concentrations of hotels, restaurants, and souvenir shops in a confined space of the world.
