The Da Yan Ancient Town, part of the Lijiang Ancient City is a small and beautiful town, which is something like Venice and Suzhou, while it has richer flavor of rural life than Venice and Suzhou. It has been integrated with scenic mountains and rivers and mingled with the scattered villages. The Lijiang Ancient City has witnessed the vestige and vicissitudes of the Nahsi nationality from generation to generation. So many stories of the historical legends handed down in the streets and lanes, in the imposing dwellings and courtyards, as well as in shops and workshops of the ancient city.
