麗江古城，又名大研鎮，是座歷史悠久、沒有圍牆的古城，已被列為世界文化遺產之一。城裡四處小橋流水，街上不是商店，就是餐廳酒吧，再來就是客棧酒店。這裡大多數店家都有漢字和東巴象形文字的招牌，英文招牌名字就別太認真看，有的全是漢語拼音，有的翻譯得讓人搖頭，不然就是讓人笑掉大牙。房子建築方面，外觀極有古味，屋頂的懸魚多為單魚或雙魚，還有很多東巴圖騰的大小木雕藝術品等等，讓人駐足欣賞的東西實在太多。所以，我們在古城裡不知不覺就逛了幾個小時，直到夜深了才打車回酒店休息。
Lijiang Ancient Town, or Dayan Town, is one fo the UNESCO world heritages with more than 800 years history.

在慶祝元旦的當兒，我們到烏特勒支欣賞中國花燈（官方網頁：點此）。這些來自四川自貢的大型花燈，照亮了烏特勒支大學的植物園區，吸引了非常多民眾來遊園。看了許多朋友分享的照片，我也興致勃勃，於是約了家公家婆一起去賞燈，順便讓兩老近距離接觸下花燈文化。
Chinese people celebrate the Lantern Festival at the first full moon of a Chinese new year. China Light Utrecht is an Chinese light festival that has been organised at the Botanic Gardens in de Uithof/Utrecht University (Official website: click here). I have been attracted by the photos of many friends, and decided to visit this festival with Bart and his parents during this new year holiday. This is also a good chance to let them learn more about Chinese tradition and culture.

下午，用過午餐之後，我們先到黑龍潭公園走走。黑龍潭公園，亦被稱為玉泉公園，為麗江古城的一部分。黑龍潭的水為玉龍雪山及其周邊的山系的泉水，泉水經此流入麗江古城，所以，黑龍潭也是麗江的主要水源。
After lunch, we went to Jade Spring Park to have a walk. Jade Spring Park, also named as Black Dragon Pool Park, is a part of Lijiang Ancient Town. This pool collects water from Yulong snow mountain and is the main water source of Lijiang Ancient Town.
