The water from the Yuquan River, which originates at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the north of the city, enters the city in three streams, and then divides into numerous tributaries, flowing through the streets and alleys throughout the city, forming a poetic picture of "water flowing in front of every house, and willows hanging behind every house." The streets are informally arranged but freely distributed. The main street is next to the water, and the alleys are next to the canals. More than 300 ancient stone bridges complement the river, green trees, ancient lanes, and ancient houses.

Try to stay in the surrounding areas and avoid the center of the ancient city. Taking into account the issue of food, this will not only save money on food , and live a little quieter.
As for food, I think everyone must think that Lijiang is a tourist city and food is very expensive. I can tell you clearly that food here is not expensive if you find the right place. Because the rent in the ancient city is too high, it is very expensive. The cost of water, electricity and transfer fees are very high, so eating in the ancient city is very expensive. How expensive it is, you can imagine which city has the highest consumption in the country. However, there are some snack bars run by locals near the Old Town of Lijiang that are very cheap. Since these stores are owned by their own houses and have preferential policies from locals, the operating costs are very low, so the food prices are very cheap, and the food is practical and economical.
Things to note when traveling around Lijiang
"There is no free lunch in the world." I think everyone knows this truth. With the development of tourism, various dark sides are also indirectly reflected. Yes, some people are greedy for petty gains and end up being deceived everywhere. Instead of saving money, they end up getting more money. So when you come here, try not to talk to some solicitors on the street, and don't listen to introductions from friends from other places, unless the friends who introduce you are a few. If you have been to Lijiang for the first time or have some business in Lijiang, otherwise you will be fooled. There are some idle people in Lijiang who specialize in this matter, either soliciting customers on the street or in bars. Everyone thinks they know a good person and obeys his words. However, they end up being deceived, wasting their time and money. How to avoid similar things from happening? When you come, try to ask and read as much as possible, find some clubs with good reputations to travel to, or talk to the reception desk through the recommendation of the owner of the inn where you stay. This way, when something unpleasant happens, you can find a recommender to avoid making mistakes. Affects play mood.
