Lijiang, a beautiful, quiet ancient city, sits in the northwest of Yunnan Province. Established in late Southern Song Dynasty, it was once the capital of the ancient Naxi Kingdom. It has a mixed population of 10-odd nationalities including Naxi. The millennia-old, deep-rooted Naxi culture, blended with Confucian, Buddhist and Taoist cultures, has granted graceful charms to the city. Surrounded by verdant mountains, and with green streams meandering across, Lijiang is reminiscent of a waterside town in southeast China, hence it is reputed as “Suzhou on the Plateau”. Inside the city, there are closely built folk houses, streets and lanes paved with pebbles, and numerous stores. Once a place where the Southern Silk Road and the ancient Road of Tea and Horses met, Lijiang is still an important city of trade between Yunnan and Tibet.

幽雅的丽江古城坐落在云南省西北部,始建于南宁末年,居住着纳西等十多个民族,曾是纳西古王国之都。数千年古朴深厚的纳西文明及儒、佛、道等多元文化的融合,孕育了古城的神韵和迷人风采。这里四周青山环抱,绿水萦回,穿城过巷,处处小桥流水,一派水乡风光,被称为“高原姑苏”。
古城民居群落,瓦屋栉比,大街小巷花石铺路,店铺林立,商贾云集,历史上是南丝绸之路和茶马古道的必经之地,如今仍是滇、藏贸易重镇。
丽江古城最大的特点就是“水”,被誉为东方威尼斯的丽江古城依山傍水、古朴自然,家家流水、户户垂杨。古城西北方30公里处是海拔5596米,至今尚未被人类征服的玉龙雪山及第四世冰川遗迹。源于玉龙雪山的清泉流入古城,在城北分成三支,每支又分成数十支溪流,自北向南随街入巷,“小桥流水人家”的景象,为古城平增几分灵气。
古城的五彩石路,睛不飞灰、雨不泥泞,民居则以“三坊一照壁、四合五天井”为典型代表。从选址、布局到城市建筑以及河道水系的利用,丽江古城都独具风格,在中国乃至世界建筑史上占有重要地位。1997年12月4日,中国丽江古城以其独特的民族文化特性、城市布局特性、历史真实性被联合国教科文组织列入世界文化遗产名录。
