UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Naxi People

Today's post is about my travels to the Old Town of Lijiang in Yunna, China. The people of this town are mainly from the Naxi ethnic group that have been culturally influenced by the Han Chinese. Ancient trade routes to Tibet and India have gone through here.

This post mainly features some architectural styles found in the Old Town of Lijiang.
