Lijiang City with its own cultural and historical tradition has its own history of architectural development. The Lijiang vernacular dwellings have developed from vernacular dwelling models like "house in caves", "house on the trees" and "batten seam house of log construction" to those of "three terrace houses with one screen wall" and "quadrangle residential with 5 small yards" and "horse-mounted house with lapped corner joints".
