The Old Town of Lijiang in Yunnan Province

The past few days of the Spring Festival holiday period were spent in Lijiang in Yunnan Province about a 90-minute flight from Chengdu. The classic view of Lijiang is above. Taken in Black Dragon Pool Park, the source for the water that runs through the Old Town of Lijiang, it features the Deyue Pavilion (originally erected in the 17th century, restored and rebuilt in 1963) and the marble, five-arched bridge with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the background and reflected in the pool. I'll make several posts about different places in and around Lijiang.
