In recent years, it has become a hot tourist destination for tourists both from China and abroad. I have always been wondering what fascinates tourists from abroad about the ancient city of Lijiang. It is due to its culture or scenery. The Ethnic culture (Naxi culture) in Lijiang is well preserved. I was told that Naxi ancient music has gained international fame, and it was performed across the world including the United Kingdom, Norway and Finland. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to listen to the music. Have you ever been to Lijiang? What fascinates you about the ancient city of Lijiang?
