The town features cobblestone streets, traditional Naxi architecture, and a network of canals that add to its charm, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking a combination of history, culture, and natural beauty. Visitors can explore the old streets lined with quaint shops, artisanal crafts, and cozy cafés, or take a leisurely walk by the tranquil streams that flow through the town.
