Impression of Lijiang
[ Naxi Elderly ] A city's sense of history, age and vicissitudes can be touched in daily life as long as there are activities of the elderly. Lijiang is such a city, but those hunched over, insisting on wearing Naxi living clothes, sitting in groups of three to five in front of their homes in the sun gossiping about the elderly, in the Sifang Street is less and less.
[ Liberation Hat ] The ink blue khaki made of liberation hat used to be the favorite of Naxi women, but also almost become their symbol, now the young Naxi women have abandoned the aesthetics of the previous generation. The easiest way to tell the difference between a local and an outsider is to look at their dress. The one who wears a striped square scarf tied around his head and flaunts around in striped khaki clothes is definitely an outsider tourist, because they are too much like a local.
[ Shops ] According to the pattern of the Sifang Street, normally people's homes are built on the waterfront, and nowadays these homes have become a family of stores, restaurants, and bars, and the shopkeepers' accents are southern and northern. The number of such stores is still increasing, and the handicrafts and other things for sale also have more and more little to do with Lijiang, but only borrowed the name of Lijiang, so that the people who spend money are after recalling can still say, this is in Lijiang to buy.
