Think and share.

My draft:
Lijiang is an ancient city high up in the mountains of Yunnan, near the borders of Sichuan and Tibet. It was an important stop on the Ancient Tea and Horse Road, which connected central China with Myanmar (缅甸) and India, transporting not just tea but also silk and other goods. Lijiang’s Old Town, with a history of over 800 years, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Evaluate the draft
My draft:
Today, Lijiang is mostly known for its ethnic minority culture, especially the culture of the Naxi ethnic group. The Naxi are famous for their Dongba culture. They have their own unique written language that uses pictures and symbols.
Evaluate the draft
They also create beautiful arts and crafts, and are well known for their singing, and dancing. Strolling (漫步) around the Old Town, one can witness Naxi life much as it was hundreds of years ago. One can also try traditional Naxi food, including the air-dried pork liver, Naxi baba (a kind of flat bread), and Naxi hot pot.
My draft:
Evaluate the draft
But if you really want to see Naxi traditional culture, it is best to visit during the Torch Festival, which usually occurs in the summer. During the festival, the streets are full of torches (火把), bonfires (篝火), and lots of people singing and dancing.
My draft:
Evaluate the draft
While the main ethnic group living in the area is the Naxi, there are also at least 19 other ethnic groups, including Yi, Lisu (傈僳族), Bai (白族), Tibetan (藏族), and Pumi (普米族). It is easy to arrange a short homestay with an ethnic minority family to learn more about their way of life.
My draft:
Evaluate the draft
Just outside the city, there are beautiful mountains, meadows (草地), lakes, rivers, and gorges (峡谷), offering plenty of opportunities to go hiking, kayaking (皮划艇), or rafting. Like much of Yunnan, the weather is always fairly mild in Lijiang, so it is fine to visit throughout the year.
My draft:
Evaluate the draft
Lijiang can be easily reached by airplane or train, and visitors can hire bikes or cars to explore the area. It is the perfect place for tourists to experience the colorful culture of China’s ethic minorities.
