Visit Lijiang with mom

Finding the perfect Mother's Day gift isn't easy. When flowers, perfume, and candy have worn out the surprise, you may want to change the gift game a bit, for example, by traveling with her to somewhere special.

Remember when she always said, "the world is the best textbook"? One of the best things about getting older is that we get to take care of mom and check out the world with her.

And one of the most relaxing destinations to spend some special time with mom is Lijiang, southwest China's Yunnan province.

Many people see Lijiang as a place where time seems to pass slowly and without any hassles - and urban residents sometimes think of it as the city of their dreams. Visitors can stroll around the ancient town of Lijiang and also visit nearby Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is covered in snow all year and features 13 peaks jutting upward across the skyline. Lijiang is also one of the most attractive Chinese cities for foreigners.
