Overview

How popular is this time-locked place? Lijiang¡¯s (Àö½­, L¨¬ji¨¡ng) maze of cobbled streets, rickety (or rickety-looking, given gentrification) wooden buildings and gushing canals suck in over eight million people a year. So thick are the crowds in the narrow alleys that it can feel like they've all arrived at the same time.
