I just arrived Lijiang this noon. I walked around the old town this afternoon. It's just as good as I thought.

From wikipedia.

The world famous Old Town of Lijiang is located in Lijiang City. It is a UNESCO Heritage Site.

 

The town has a history going back more than 800 years and was once a confluence for trade along the old tea horse road. The Lijiang old town is famous for its orderly system of waterways and bridges. The old town of Lijiang differs from other ancient Chinese cities in architecture, history and the culture of its traditional residents the Nakhi people, therefore people there are called 胖金哥 and 胖金妹 (pàng jīn gē, pàng jīn mèi, male and female respectively).

Small town called Shuhe beside Lijiang. It's quite nice, less travelers there, even better and more casual than Lijiang. I wanna stay there for a few months for vacation.
