Dayan Subdistrict

Few urban districts in Yunnan have a history as closely tied to Naxi culture as Dayan Subdistrict. At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, it contains Dayan Ancient Town, the core of the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Lijiang. Lanes, canals and stone bridges reflect a townscape shaped by water as much as by trade. The Mu Residence recalls the hereditary Naxi rulers who once administered Lijiang, while nearby Black Dragon Pool is a cultural landmark beneath the mountain. Today, Dayan is Lijiang’s historic centre, where Naxi traditions coexist with busy shops and guesthouses.
