Lijiang Old Town is famous for its natural beauty, cultural heritage and for being 'The Capital of Romance'

Lijiang Old Town in Southwest China's Yunnan province is a famous tourist destination. Life there is slower than in most Chinese cities. The place is dominated by naturally beautiful scenery, and the large number of people from ethnic groups provide a colorful backdrop to a visit.Historically, it's also a famous city for love. The locals have a wealth of stories about people who died for, or were revived by, love. Sometimes, the legends tell of young men and women who committed suicide to ensure their mutual affection would never fade.Nowadays, the city is regarded as a paradise of love and romance in the eyes of visitors, both Chinese and from overseas.Every aspect of the city - the blue skies, snowy white mountains, leafy trees, colorful flowers, and the architecture and cuisines of the area's large mix of ethnic groups, to people from all walks of life speaking various languages and dialects - seems designed to clear the mind of all thoughts, except those related to the pursuit for happiness, pleasure and love, especially once visitors hear the local legends.
