Lijiang, UNESCO World Heritage site in Yunnan, China.
The ancient city of Lijiang extends through a network of winding streets and canals at the base of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
The city served as a crucial trading post on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, connecting Tibet with China's regions for over 800 years.
The Naxi people maintain their traditions in Lijiang through their writing system, music performances, and architectural practices.
The city stands at 2,400 meters elevation, with streets leading to four main avenues that meet at the 500-square-meter Central Square.
Lijiang differs from other Chinese cities by not having defensive walls and following natural water flows rather than geometric planning.
