Lijiang in winter is absolutely dreamy. You can see snow-capped mountains everywhere! After spending 3 days exploring Lijiang, I've compiled 5 less-crowded spots for capturing breathtaking photos of Yulong Snow Mountain. If you love photography, don't wait—start planning your trip! 📸【My 3-Day, 2-Night Itinerary】 • Day 1: Arrive in Lijiang ➠ Lijiang Old Town • Day 2: Dongba Valley ➠ Baisha Old Town ➠ Berry Coffee ➠ Shuhe Old Town • Day 3: Jianshan Courtyard ➠ Black Dragon Pool ❶ Dongba Valley This is the perfect spot to witness the sunrise painting the mountains gold. Head to Lake 4—it's less crowded, and the reflection of the snow mountain on the water is truly stunning!! ❷ Baisha Old Town This ancient town nestled at the foot of the snow mountain is best visited in the morning when there are fewer people. Take your time and wander through its charming streets. ❸ Jianshan Courtyard The "Village Entrance Grocery Store" at the entrance, the swing, the wooden house—all framed against the backdrop of Yulong Snow Mountain—create picture-perfect scenes. ❹ Black Dragon Pool Park Entry through the museum is free. Here, you'll find ancient architecture, a serene lake, and the majestic snow mountain, offering a unique and beautiful perspective. ❺ Berry Coffee (Baisha Old Town Branch) This cozy coffee shop☕️ beneath the snow mountain offers a tranquil escape. The views from the windows on both the first and second floors are fantastic, especially of Yulong Snow Mountain🏔️. Best of all, it's rarely crowded, allowing you to enjoy the entire terrace view. Plus, the coffee is delicious!
