Lijiang is a beautiful city and capital of the Naxi kingdom. Located along an important trade route that was once part of the Silk Road from Yunnan to Tibet, Lijiang became an important centre of commerce and culture. The majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain rises to the North, and the old town at its centre is often referred to as the Venice of the Orient, because of the many bridges and canals that lace through the maze of cobbled streets. The charm and architecture of this historic town led UNESCO to declare it a World Heritage Site in 1997.
