Lijiang Ancient Town has various names given by the groups of tourists, among which, the Affair City is the most famous. Affair, a title sounds little ambiguous, full of bourgeoisie feelings, but is entrusted the anticipation of tourist friends to a kind of aesthetic emotion and once release of self.

It is relaxing enough to hiking, playing water, horsing and boating, even can stay in hotel reading and dazing in bar.
