Ancient Town of Lijiang
Lijiang Ancient Town is also called as Dayan Ancient Town, which is an ancient town at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain in northwestern Yunnan. In 1997, it was put on the World Cultural Heritage List. Lijiang got its name from the Jinsha River, which flows through the town. All year round the snow-capped peaks are enticing people to come for a visit. The Dayan Town is the center of Lijiang Naxi Ethnic Minority Autonomous County.
The Dayan Town contains a group of well-preserved ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The world-famous Sifang (square) Street is lined with little shops. Five major streets connect all the roads and lanes. Streets which run beside the streams are all paved with colorful cobbles. After rain, they look shining and neat. Naxi women, wearing their blue pleated skirts and sheepskin shawls decorated with seven stars and seven ribbons, add a lingering charm to the ancient town.
Most of the residents of the Dayan Town are Naxi people. Their houses are traditional buildings with carved beams and painted rafters. Bridges, courtyards and springs are everywhere. Lijiang was first built in the 13th century, and is one of the few ancient towns that have no city walls in the world. The master of the Naxi minority all come from the Mu Family. In Chinese, 木 plus a frame becomes 困 ( kùn, surrounded), so they did not build city walls.
