Practical notes
The recommended classic route is Big Water Wheel → Xianwen Lane Youzhi Umbrella Street → Sifang Street → Mufu → Lion Rock Observation → Wuyi Street → Night view of the ancient city; in the evening there are Naxi bonfires on Sifang Street, and the Lion Rock Observation Deck is the best place to see the panoramic view of the ancient city and the sunset; the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so prepare a light jacket. Please refer to the latest official announcement for opening, reservation and ticketing arrangements.
