Lijiang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the City of Flowers

Lijiang, located in Yunnan Province, China, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site situated at an altitude of 2,400 meters. On clear days, you can enjoy views of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The city, built by the Naxi ethnic minority during the late Song Dynasty, boasts stunning architecture. Its cobblestone streets crisscross the town, and a network of waterways adds to its charm, making it a delightful place to explore. April is especially enchanting, as the city is filled with blooming roses 🌹. To prevent altitude sickness, take your time and walk slowly. While in Lijiang, be sure to try "Crossing the Bridge Noodles," a dish of hot soup with ingredients served over rice noodles, and the "Fresh Flower Pastry," a sweet treat made with rose petals.
