Introduction of Square Market:
As the center of Lijiang Old Town, it is said that the Square Market is built according to the shape of the seal of Mu Family. It has been the most important junction station in the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Since Ming and Qing Dynasty, merchants from each side came together in crowds and nationalities came and lived here so that it has been the economic and cultural center. Nowadays, the Square Market is still the most prosperous place in the Old Town, which specializes in bars, shopping and snacks.

Four main streets direct to the four different directions from Square Market and numerous lanes extend in all directions, forming a network that links every corner of the town. Streets are paved by the local bluestones which are neither muddy in the rainy season nor dusty in the dry season. Along the street, the residences are mainly tile-roofed houses with three squares, one screen wall, square courtyard and capacious corridor. The doors and windows are decorated with carved images of flowers and birds.
In addition, it might be the only square that had an auto matic street-wash system in ancient times. The sluice at the center is opened late in the night and the resulting current of water flushes from the West River, washes all the street to keep the town clean, and then flows into the Central River.
Everyday morning, many Naxi old women dance traditional Naxi dance in the Square Market. If you are interested, you can join them to dance together.
