I always believe that the holy sunshine of Lijiang illuminates the corners of everyone's life, ignites the passion of life, and relieves an impetuous soul.

No matter where you come from, Lijiang will always be the second home for your soul. Lashihai. 10 a.m.

On the way to Shangri-La, I hurried past the mountains of Lashihai, and the eagles circling in the sky were freely shuttling through the clouds.

Looking far into the Jinsha River, the twilight atmosphere is bright, and you can still see the winding and majestic scenery.

This is the Tiger Leaping Gorge that we must pass through during our trip to Shangri-La. We went to the Chinese Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is famous for its steep terrain, rapid water and majestic momentum. Looking from afar, the water flows in the mountains and canyons, with white waves.

After two hours of trekking, I finally reached the side of the mountain stream from the top of the mountain. The road was simply miserable. It was full of stones and sand, uneven and slippery. It is quite painful to exercise hard on the plateau. There is a rapid breathing and there is not enough air. Everyone is panting heavily.

This was built at his own expense by a local resident surnamed Zhang. It is called the "Teacher Zhang Path". Everyone charges a fee. The nearby inns and water sellers are all relatives of Teacher Zhang. However, this road is really built on top of natural hazards. Every inch of it has been invested in taking risks. It is so difficult to walk on it, and how difficult it was when it was built at the beginning. So, understand long live! Although it is the dry season in winter, the rumbling water is still very imposing. The color is also quite beautiful green, but unfortunately the camera cannot depict this different color realistically enough. When I went up the mountain, I followed the guide and chose a shortcut, so I didn't have to go back up the road and climb the bumpy rocks. However, this is a "brave ladder". It is fixed on the cliff with only a few iron bars and paved with a few narrow wooden boards. It is almost straight up and down, and is divided into three sections. After going up, you can directly reach the top of the mountain. Halfway through the climb, I felt my arms were sore, but there was no turning back on this road, so I had to hold on tightly and climb bravely. OK! Success! Leaving the Tiger Leaping Gorge where the sound of water rumbled, in addition to the magnificent mountains and mountains, there is only one word in my memory: "tired"! Ha, I just blame myself for not exercising more. Taking the bus to Shangri-La and continuing the journey, the tour guide reminded us not to sleep no matter how tired we were, because our physique was not suitable for rising from the plains to the plateau, and we would feel strong headaches and dizziness, which scared us to hold our eyelids until we reached our destination.

Shangri-La. 5 p.m.

The streets of Moonlight Ancient City are somewhat similar to the Ancient City of Lijiang, except that it is more peaceful and far-reaching, the air is colder and clearer, and every breath will cool down to the chest. The tour guide was explaining to us the long-standing legends of Moonlight Ancient City and Shangri-La, when he suddenly saw the puppy next to him listening attentively. Shangri-La is already a Tibetan area, and Tibetan Buddhist murals and scriptures can be seen everywhere. Each painting has a long history of legend, contains profound truth, and is the true meaning of teaching people to be good. This painting teaches people to respect the elderly, love the young, and coexist peacefully.

Through layers of eaves, you can see the world's largest prayer wheel standing on the hillside of the Dafo Temple. The dazzling gold color is so vivid and eye-catching in the ancient buildings.

The decoration of residents 'houses here is more ethnic, and the gorgeous carvings at the entrance attract us to stop and watch.
The crossroads in the heart of the street. It was nearly dusk, the sky was still bright, and tourists in twos and threes were resting around the white tower. A coffee and tea bar built next to the mountain. Although the weather is cold and the earth is frozen, it still has a simple and elegant atmosphere. Mani pile in front of local residents. Each piece is engraved with a wish, believing that pious prayers will eventually come true. Standing under the world's largest prayer wheel, everyone seems so small, but the wishes in their hearts are great. The prayer wheel is 21 meters high and has a total weight of 60 tons. The body of the cylinder is made of pure copper and gold. The wall of the cylinder is embossed with the four major Bodhisattva Manjusri, Samantabata, Guanyin and Ksitigarbha. The lower level is the eight Buddhist treasures: Dharma snail, Sutra wheel, treasure umbrella, hundred covers, lotus flower, treasure vase, goldfish, and plate length. Inside the cylinder are Buddhist mantras, 1.24 million six-character mantra and 16 tons of various Buddhist treasures. A group of more than a dozen of us rotated clockwise three times together, praying for the peace of the country and the people.

The long-famous yak hot pot. What a big pot, yak meat is more chewy than ordinary beef, and the beef tastes more fragrant and full. When the pot is opened, the aroma is overflowing, spicy and hot, and there are many fresh vegetables cooked in the pot. Although it is on the plateau, it is rich in materials, with everything you have, and life is rich.

But I still suddenly miss the dreamer salmon in the ancient city of Huama Street. The fresh and tender feeling is still unforgettable. What should I do? However, I really want to go back to the ancient city of Huama Street and tell my boss that I should open a dreamer salmon restaurant in Shangri-La.

Songzan Forest Temple. 10 a.m.

The majestic and solemn complex of buildings stands against the mountain. This is one of the thirteen forests in Tibetan areas built by Emperor Kangxi and the Fifth Dalai Lama of the Qing Dynasty. It is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Tibetan areas in Yunnan and the most prestigious Guru sect in Tibetan areas. The grand temple-Songzanlin Temple. Because its exterior layout resembles the Potala Palace, it is also known as the "Little Potala Palace". During the reign of Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, it was also named "Guihua Temple". Under the pure sky, the temple becomes more solemn and majestic, and the soul gradually becomes calm and peaceful.

The colorful and exquisite paintings make the building more spiritual, auspicious, peaceful and vibrant.
Ramyangcuo Lake at the foot of Songzanlin Temple. The small island in the center of the lake is regarded as sacred and inviolable and cannot be climbed on casually. Mani Dui on the island, year after year, quietly guarding this water area alone and facing the temple.

The Shengli Building on the roof of the main entrance of Songzanlin Temple symbolizes the victory of completing a positive fruit and is one of the Tibetan auspicious eight treasures. The golden light is shining in the sun, dazzling and beautiful. Returning to Lijiang. 4 p.m.

The bus was running on the mountain road. After two days of bumps and trekking, most of the people on the bus were already sleepy. Only I was still reluctant to part with this magical land and returned to my hometown. Everything here The beauty will become a memory, so let me keep this deep nostalgia in front of me forever.

The ancient city of Lijiang. 10 a.m.
After returning from a trip to Shangri-La, I return to the warm and comfortable embrace of the ancient city. Sitting in the house leisurely sipping coffee, you can see the distant snowy mountains through the window. The thin clouds drift away like mist, and the worldly troubles also go away, leaving only a sense of tranquility in my heart., Leaving the pressure and burden of living in a bustling city forever, even if you escape it, you can at least live it again in this life. Hehe, that's right, Dreamers Salmon Restaurant, here I come again ~ Ancient City Guxiang. 2 p.m.

This time is the warmest time of the day. Although it is during the Spring Festival, the temperature can reach 15 degrees. Thick cotton-padded clothes cannot be worn here. Even when traveling here in winter, remember to bring a thin coat.

Walking slowly between these small courtyards and ancient streets, I caught the melodious singing from the small shop in my ears, and my eyes were full of comfortable colors, gurgling water, slight fragrance of flowers, comfortable air, idle mood, comfortable environment, such an afternoon is the greatest happiness in life.

The most beautiful corner of Lijiang in my memory.

From this moment on, faint sorrow and deep attachment have quietly permeated. I am leaving, how can I express the reluctance in my heart by missing you? Many people say that coming here feels like I have suddenly found my own home. I am nothing more than that. Maybe I will come here again one day in the future and stay forever. The longer I left Lijiang, the stronger I missed the tranquility and tranquility until it couldn't melt away, entangled with the hustle and complexity of the city.

Perhaps Lijiang in reality is not a pure land, and will also be assimilated by commercial atmosphere and a steady stream of tourists. But deep in my memory, what I will never forget is the peace and ease that I have been looking for for a long time. In such a small city, only soft words are worthy of the agility and gentleness here, and only a calm and calm mood can you understand and experience real life. Perhaps life is more important than living. In a limited life, an unforgettable tranquility is the whole truth.
