Description
In this online experience, visit the beautiful old town of Lijiang, also known as the Venice of the East, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. The old town was built in the 13th Century and was an important stop on the ancient tea and horse road from Yunnan to Tibet.
We will walk through the cobbled stone streets of the old town, passing by the beautiful water canals, ancient bridges, unique buildings and courtyards. The town covers an area of 3.8 square kilometres and is home to a mixture of Naxi, Bai and Han people.
Visit the central market to see one of the earliest squares with an auto washing system. See the ancient drinking water systems in Lijiang - the three wells from where the locals get water for drinking, washing vegetables and clothes. Learn about the local fare and street food like grilled tofu, and walk by interesting shops in town like Dongba handmade papers shops, silver making and leather making shops.
So come, join me on this live walking tour to enjoy a bird's eye view of the old town through the eyes of a local!
