The Iconic Heart of Lijiang Old Town The Large Water Wheel is an absolute must-see and the perfect starting point for anyone visiting the ancient town of Lijiang. It's more than just a photo spot; it's a beautiful and functional historic landmark that symbolizes the harmony between the ancient Naxi people and their environment. The Experience: The water wheel itself is impressively large and picturesque, set against the backdrop of traditional architecture with the stunning Jade Dragon Snow Mountain often visible in the distance. The constant, gentle motion of the wheel, powered by the flowing water from the Yuquan River (Jade Spring River), is incredibly soothing and transports you back in time. The sound of the water is peaceful and provides a wonderful white noise that contrasts with the bustling old town behind you. The Area: The wheel marks the entrance to the old town. From here, you can cross the bridge and immediately get lost in the labyrinth of charming cobblestone streets, shops, and restaurants. It's especially beautiful in the early morning when the light is soft and the crowds are thin, or in the evening when it's lit up. Tips for Visitors: Best Time for Photos: Come early in the morning to avoid the crowds and get the clearest shot with the mountains in the background. Explore Further: Follow the canals that branch out from the wheel. They weave through the entire old town and make for a wonderful walking tour. It's Free: There's no cost to see this landmark, making it an essential and accessible stop. This isn't just a quick stop; it's a place to pause for a moment and appreciate the ancient engineering and the natural beauty that defines Lijiang. A truly iconic and photogenic scene that captures the spirit of the place. Highly recommend starting your Lijiang adventure here!

The **Large Water Wheel** (大水车) is one of the most iconic landmarks in Lijiang Ancient Town, symbolizing the harmony between nature and Naxi culture. Located at the entrance of the old town, this giant wooden water wheel, powered by flowing streams from the Jade River, represents Lijiang’s ancient irrigation system. Visitors can admire its rustic beauty, take photos against the scenic backdrop of old bridges and willow trees, and stroll along the nearby Square Street (Sifangjie) to explore shops and cafes. Though the wheel itself is decorative, it serves as a cultural emblem, marking the start of a journey into Lijiang’s timeless charm.

Phố cổ Lệ Giang, nằm ở tỉnh Vân Nam, Trung Quốc, là một trong những điểm đến du lịch nổi tiếng với vẻ đẹp cổ kính và không gian đậm chất văn hóa. Khi màn đêm buông xuống, nơi đây khoác lên mình một diện mạo hoàn toàn khác biệt, mang lại những cảm xúc ấn tượng khó quên cho bất kỳ ai đặt chân tới.

Bước vào phố cổ Lệ Giang khi đêm về, điều đầu tiên đập vào mắt bạn chính là ánh sáng lung linh từ hàng ngàn chiếc đèn lồng đỏ treo dọc các con đường nhỏ. Những chiếc đèn này không chỉ tạo nên khung cảnh lãng mạn mà còn gợi lên cảm giác hoài niệm về một thời quá khứ xa xưa. Ánh sáng dịu nhẹ của đèn lồng hòa quyện với màu đen huyền bí của bầu trời đêm tạo nên một bức tranh sống động, vừa gần gũi vừa mê hoặc.

Con đường đá cổ kính dưới chân bạn, được xây dựng từ hàng trăm năm trước, vẫn giữ nguyên nét thô sơ và bền bỉ. Dưới ánh đèn, từng viên đá trở nên bóng loáng, phản chiếu ánh sáng mờ ảo. Tiếng bước chân của du khách xen lẫn tiếng nước chảy róc rách từ những con kênh nhỏ len lỏi khắp phố cổ càng làm tăng thêm sự tĩnh lặng và yên bình. Bạn có thể cảm nhận rõ ràng nhịp sống chậm rãi, thư thái, khác hẳn với sự hối hả thường ngày.

Một điểm nhấn đặc biệt của Lệ Giang về đêm chính là không khí sôi động nhưng vẫn đầy chất thơ tại các quán trà, quán bar nhỏ ven đường. Tại đây, bạn có thể thưởng thức một tách trà Ô Long thơm ngát hoặc lắng nghe những giai điệu nhạc dân tộc do các nghệ nhân địa phương biểu diễn. Âm nhạc nhẹ nhàng, sâu lắng vang lên giữa không gian cổ kính khiến lòng người như chùng lại, tràn ngập cảm giác thư thái và thanh thản.

Ngoài ra, khu chợ đêm tại Lệ Giang cũng là nơi không thể bỏ qua. Các gian hàng bày bán đủ loại mặt hàng thủ công mỹ nghệ, từ đồ trang sức bạc truyền thống của người Nạp Tây đến những bức tranh thêu tay tinh xảo. Mùi hương thảo mộc, mùi thức ăn đường phố thơm phức lan tỏa trong không khí càng làm tăng thêm sự hấp dẫn. Bạn có thể thử một vài món ăn địa phương như bánh bao hấp, thịt nướng hay các món lẩu nóng hổi, tất cả đều mang đậm hương vị độc đáo của vùng đất này.

Đặc biệt, khi đứng trên cầu Sư Tử – một biểu tượng của Lệ Giang – và nhìn xuống dòng kênh uốn lượn dưới ánh đèn, bạn sẽ cảm nhận được sự kết hợp hài hòa giữa thiên nhiên và con người. Cảnh tượng ấy giống như một giấc mơ, nơi thời gian dường như ngừng trôi, để lại chỉ còn những xúc cảm thuần khiết nhất.

Tất cả những yếu tố này tạo nên một Lệ Giang về đêm tuyệt đẹp, vừa lãng mạn, vừa bình yên nhưng cũng không kém phần sống động. Đó là sự pha trộn độc đáo giữa quá khứ và hiện tại, giữa truyền thống và hiện đại, khiến bất kỳ ai ghé thăm cũng phải lưu luyến...
