【内容】
Lijiang is located in Lijing Prefecture in the Northwest of Yunnan province. The population of Lijiang Prefecture is over 1 million involving 21 nationalities, for example, the Naxi, Yi, Lisu, Pumi,etc..
Lijiang has a history of almost a thousand years. The scenes are unique and unconventional. It is one of the best-historical, cultural cities at the state level in China. It consists of three parts: Dayan、Baisha、Suhe. So why is it called Dayan? Because it is in the middle of Lijiang basin, and the Lijiang basin looks like a big ink stone, and in Chinese the pronunciation of that is “yan”.
The Dayan town is famous in China for its old and simple architectural style and the elegant art for the lay-out of the town. Whatever street and whatever lane you go in; there is a small stream with small bridges across it here and there. As a saying has it : A house beside a stream with a small bridge across it makes a wonderful scene which you can only find here.” That’s why we regard Dayan town to be the “Oriental Venice”.
In the center of the ancient town, here is the Sifang Street. It is a place for country fair trades. Since ancient times, Sifang Street has been a collecting and distributing center of all kinds of products with travelers and traders going and coming everywhere. On a market day people of different minorities in their unique costumes come here to do business and make the place crowed and noisy. If you spend a whole day here, you can experience the poetic changes here. In the morning, the street stretch its arms and woke up; in the midday, it becomes a busy man; When the night comes, the light is on, it changes into a dressed young lady; And at night it becomes quiet and fell asleep.
