## About Lion Hill

Named for the mountain's resemblance to a sleeping lion. The Old Town's buildings cluster around its foot, making it the best spot to photograph the panorama of Lijiang Old Town. From Wangu Tower on the summit, you can gaze north at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, east over the Old Town, west over Lijiang New Town and south over the rural villages.
