  • Join me in this latest video as I explore Lijiang for three hours, starting with a hike up to a scenic viewpoint. After taking in the sights from above, I meander through the city’s ancient alleyways, marveling at the historic architecture and encountering friendly local dogs along the way. The adventure concludes with a serene sunset that casts a golden glow over the city. Dive into the heart of Lijiang with me and experience its timeless charm.

      you should be glad you didnt marry her in the end.. shouldn't marry petty quarrelsome troublesome woman. give you no peace in married life. Its cheaper to keep changing gf or having many part time wives than to marry one woman.

    When you previously said you would only stay in Lijiang briefly, I was very surprised. I thought you had confused the Lijiang River in Guangxi with Lijiang Old Town in Yunnan. Lijiang Old Town is also famous for its pubs at night, some of which are quite wild. People from all over China come to these pubs in hopes of having a romantic encounter at night.

    Many ancient scenic spots have rebuilt buildings, so they look new. Because this land is only a few decades away from the last war, many famous ancient buildings have been basically destroyed. Especially Chinese ancient buildings were usually made of wood.

    I don't speak English and this is from the translator: you're really cool because it's really hard for a person to travel alone to the south of China to climb the mountains and even Chinese people might encounter a language barrier because the locals will have their own language, but you did it! Your perspective on travelling is really interesting and it makes me feel like I've been to the city too because China is really big and many Chinese people don't have the means to travel to every city, thanks a lot for sharing the video!
