Fun place day and night that's superbly organised and set out. If you like taking pics you'll need lots of storage. Simply brilliant. The other reviews say it all.

The town was very busy in the evening but wonderful to walk round in the morning. Lots of beautiful views and nice to have the streams running through town with lots of colourful flowers. Ate some great food.

This is a really lovely ancient town. Must see for all visitors! If you can spare more time, it can take at least 3 to 4 hours. Many locals come here to take photos, Young ones will make the effort to dress up in their minority groups, having make up done & dressing up beautifully! A sight to behold when photos taken by professional photographers. Setting is breath taking...loving every aspect of this ancient town. There are many different shops, restaurants & local fare available, no worries of lack of food here!

Be prepared to get lost in the maze of lanes. The old town is a charming quaint place. Lovely scenic instagramable places with every turn and corner. Better by day than at night. It takes the effort of a whole community to maintain this place.

I love Lijiang ancient town. It’s colorful, bustling, a lot to see and especially beautiful when it’s litted at night. Make sure you stay one night as 2-hours walk is not enough. I highly recommend Intercontinental Lijiang ancient town resort as its side door is the start of Lijiang old town South Gate. Very convenient. It’s quiet with modern facilities yet in an ancient Chinese architecture design that blends well with the surrounding ancient town. It has wide spread of breakfast too. If you are lucky, you will be able to see Jade Dragon Snow mountain on a clear day from the breakfast restaurant. At dusk, don’t forget to go next to Seven Colors Chinese restaurant to see the overall view of the ancient city from the top. It’s beautiful when all is litted.

This is one of the most beautiful old town in china at night amongst all the other old towns we have visited. We were here 15 years ago,and things have changed drastically. The town is vibrant, colorful,and comes a live after dark. There are lots of souvenir shops,eatery which has sprung up. In addition near the main square there are now bars with local bands and singers which add to the night time atmosphere. Most of the old houses,temples,city gates are also lit up at night. Remember the last time we visited we almost get lost,now understanding the system and the direction and instructions,it is easy to find your way. Just follow the path of the river from east to west you will get your sense of orientation. We love it and spend two nights and one morning strolling the street just to feel the difference between night and day!!

This is the best old town I have been too . Apparently, it is one of the only two unesco old towns in China - according to the tour guide . The two beautiful streams , stoned tiles , spider web layout , a good variety of shops , scenic view from the top all contributed to a positive experience . One downside is the products there are at least 50% more expensive than shun hee old town
