Lijiang Healing Journey: Finding Yourself at the Age That’s Neither Too Young Nor Too Old

At the age that’s neither too young nor too old 🙇‍♀️ Life owes me satisfaction, and I owe life effort 💪 My current state is: Trying but not quite succeeding 🙅‍♀️ Competing but not winning 🤦‍♀️ Resting but not fully relaxing 🤷‍♀️ Every day passes in aimless busyness... Whenever I feel like this, it’s time to take a walk in Lijiang! 🏔️ 📍Morning at Sifang Street: Sunlight spills over the ancient stone pavement The silhouette of an elderly Naxi grandmother Is the most healing scenery 👵 📍Afternoon by the Big Waterwheel: Listening to the babbling water Sipping a cup of Lijiang’s special snow tea Letting time slow down 🍵 📍Night on Bar Street: The ancient city night scene lit by lanterns A folk song can soothe the soul 🎵 In this ancient city full of stories around every corner Find the meaning of living slowly again ❤️

Stepping Into a Living Postcard at Lijiang Old Town 🌧️🏮✨ Lijiang Old Town is a UNESCO treasure where ancient cobblestone streets, stone bridges, and classic wooden houses glow under neon-lit lanterns. Nighttime transforms the whole place into a vibrant maze—rain or shine, the crowds bring the city’s heartbeat to life! 🗺️ Recommended Route: Start at the Waterwheel for a must-snap opening shot, then stroll south through Square Street and along the main canals. Hit up Lion Hill for sweeping views dotted with rooftops and twinkling lanterns. 📸 Top Photo Spots: – Waterwheel entrance at dusk: Catch lights reflecting off wet stones. – Ancient bridges by the canals: Frame lanterns and winding streets. – The side alleys: Their moody glow and detailed woodwork pop best after sunset. 🎒 Must-dos: – Sample local snacks from open-front shops—yak jerky and rose cakes are crowd favorites. – Duck into a tiny bar for Naxi folk music (even if it’s drizzling outside, the vibe stays strong). – Try calligraphy or silver jewelry workshops tucked in hidden courtyards. 💡 Visiting Tips: – Wear sturdy non-slip shoes: The ancient stone flooring gets dangerously slick when wet! – Bring a light rain jacket, not an umbrella; narrow lanes make umbrellas awkward and the rain enhances the colors anyway. – Nights are dazzling but busiest, so pace yourself and watch pickpocket hotspots in crowds. ⚠️ Precautions: Watch your step in wet conditions—the floors get very slippery fast, so don’t rush, especially on bridges. #Lijiang #OldTown #NightMarkets #ChinaTravel #TravelTips
