I.
Dayan Town (The ancient town of
Lijiang) :
Lying
in a broad, fertile valley dominated by the towering, snow-capped
peaks of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Range, the ancient city
of Lijiang is founded in Dayan Town, a large Naxi settlement first
built during the Southern Song Dynasty some eight centuries ago.
In December 1986, the State Council designated the place as a
famous ancient historical and cultural city of a national caliber.
In 1997, the UNESCO put Lijiang on a list of the world's major
cultural heritages.
