By admin on 2014-12-19

Someone said that Ljiang is the only fairyland which was left by God on the earth. Lijiang Ancient Town is in the embrace of snow mountains, accompanied by serene rivers, and bathed in the fragrance of flowers. People live leisurely in harmony with the nature and reserve their primary living styles. It is a virgin land untouched by the modern civilization, and the last pure land for the spiritual quietness.


 

 The Most Beautiful Ancient Town of China:Lijiang


 
Lijiang is an important city in ancient China, with numerous minorities. Situated in the joint place of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, Lijiang has an altitude of 2418 meters and a total area about 20,600 square kilometers. It is a well-preserved ancient town with 12 minorities, among which Naxi Nationality takes the major part of the whole population.
                                                         
As early as in Nanchao Dynasty, that is about 1600 years ago, the first residents moved here and the history of Lijiang Ancient Town began. In Song Dynasty, there were about 1000 families. In 1274, the town changed into the present name. And in the following dynasties, the town became more and more prospering. In 1770, Lijiang County was officially established and in 1961, Lijiang Naxi Nationality Autonomous County was set up. In 1997, Lijiang Ancient Town was taken into the list of World Cultural Heritage, and became the first cultural city with the honorable title. Before 1996, Lijiang Ancient Town was an intact land from cultures of Han Nationality. However, with the speed up of modern civilization and tourism industry, Lijiang Ancient Town is influenced by modern features. At present, some Naxi people n longer wear their traditional clothing, and the children of Lijiang are educated in mandarin. You can even see the local residents talking with foreign travelers in fluent English, and the phenomenon is the consequences of commercial driving. Therefore, it is the joint task of the government and tourists to protect the Lijiang Ancient Town in its primary lokkings.
