Lijiang (丽江市) is famous for its UNESCO Heritage Site, the Old Town of Lijiang. The town has a history going back more than 1,000 years and was once a confluence for trade along the “Old Tea Horse Caravan Trail”. The Dayan Old town is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges, a system fast becoming but a memory as the underground water table drops, probably due to over-building in the suburban areas. Lijiang’s culture combines traditional Nakhi culture and incongruous elements learned from Ming dynasty Han Chinese traders who settled in the region centuries ago. Nakhi people have kept alive a timber and mud brick housing style which they learned from Nanjing traders. Local carpenters still build elaborately constructed timber house frames from memory without blueprints or other diagrams.

Lijiang, the city of romance, a water town on the southwestern China. Lijiang with a population of 230000 in the city, with Naxi people as the majority among the 16 different ethnic groups. There is such a beautiful river flow through this mysterious region, called Jinsha River, which is the upper reach of the longest river of China, the Yangtze River, thus the name Lijiang. As a remote town in China, a commercial centre of caravans from the Tea and Horse Trail and Southern Silk Road, where you still can experience the real China. Such splendid cultures and costumes of different ethnic groups could be seen, not even to mention the fascinating beautiful natural seneries here. Lijiang has 3 UNESCO heritages, the Lijiang Old Town as the world cultural heritage, three parallel rivers (Yangtze River, Mekong River, Salween River) as the world natural heritage, Dongba Manuscripts as the world memory heritage.

   The best seasons of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain could be spring and autumn, winter is OK , summer is not that good( if the weather really bad).

   Spring: the weather is really nice, clear sky and beautiful mountain with lot of snow. Of cause the air is not very cold as winter.

   Summer: most days of summer is really wet and foggy,sometimes you can not really see the mountain.

   Autumn: the colour is totally different from other seasons, everything changing to yellow.

   Winter: the coldest period , but the snow is really nice in that time.

   But the weather of Lijiang is very changeable, the rainning night of summer sometimes even colder then winter, sometimes snow in spring or even summer. So the photos actually took in spring.
