In my opinion, there are two beautiful things in the world: the coolness of midsummer and the warm sun in winter.

Early winter approaches with trembling steps, and under the invasion of cold air, they are particularly eager for warmth.

In this case, without any hesitation, I booked the ticket, packed my luggage, and set out in one go.

Once again, I went to Yunnan, a paradise on earth that is like spring all year round, to pursue my own warm winter sun.

Many people planted grass in Dali because of the song "Go to Dali" and came to Dali to experience the scenery in the lyrics.

Dali is synonymous with all beauty, and this is my third time here.

Every time I visit Dali, I feel different. I feel like a friend who has been reunited for a long time. I am both familiar and new surprises.

I made a reservation at the inn online in advance before I came here, and I saw Canghai Suji. I admit I was attracted by the name, and it turned out that there was no rollover. As soon as you get off the plane, you will catch a bus heading for the ancient city. The journey from the airport to the inn is about 50 minutes.

The store is located in Dali Canghai Golf International Community, at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, on the shores of Erhai Lake, and within a 10-minute drive from the ancient city of Dali. Upon arrival, the exterior of the hotel was presented to you. It is a simple modern European building, with one on the left and right, and the middle connection is public areas such as lobby and restaurant. The room I booked was a queen bed room with a very good view. Standing on the balcony and looking out, there was a large lawn on the golf course in the distance. It was very good to take pictures. The style of the room is also what I like. A large number of wood-colored furniture gives people a warm feeling and is full of fresh air.

There is a tea table in the courtyard for guests to rest. Even if you don't go to the scenic spots, you can sit in this splendid garden and serve a cup of tea. You can stay all day without doing anything. Because I don't know when it started, being in a daze is also a luxury for people.

Because the hotel is a bit away from the ancient city of Dali, but there is no problem at all, because we rented a car and it only takes ten minutes to reach the ancient city. There are advantages to being far away. Being close to the ancient city will definitely be noisy. Giving up and getting something is the norm.

Under the baptism of time, one or two weeds occasionally appear on the mottled ancient city wall; on both sides of the street, the snow water of Cangshan flows quietly along the ditches; there are rows of shops, and there is no lack of interesting gadgets while wandering around; Climbing the city wall, you can have a panoramic view of the entire ancient city. Jin Yong once said that Dali is the most thorough place to preserve the inheritance of Chinese culture. Every time I travel, I deeply agree with it.

Whether it is a residential house with blue bricks and black tiles and white walls, or a commercial street crowded with tourists, it is well integrated here. Tourists are not disgusted by the commercial existence here. On the contrary, they come to visit with a very tolerant attitude. This may be Dali's unique purification magic.

The ancient city of Dali in the book, the Cangshan and Erhai in the song, and the scenery and snow in the wine become within reach here.

When you are tired of shopping, find a specialty restaurant in Dali to satisfy your appetite. I was pleasantly surprised by this century-old restaurant. I never thought that in an ancient house, it would be a place for delicious food. After 120 years of vicissitudes, this house is really old. The mahogany doors, thick wooden beams, and the mark of time can be seen in the details.

This is the private courtyard of the owner's house. After being transformed into a restaurant, the old courtyard has also given new vitality. Every plant, tree, table and chair is enough to show the boss's intention.

The environment is beautiful and the dishes are also very good. I love passion fruit hot and sour fish most. I can't stop the sour and spicy fish slices one bite after another. I can also soak in rice in hot and sour fish soup. It's only fun to eat two bowls. The white tiled roast meat has been completely roasted, and the excess oil from the pork five flowers has been completely roasted. What is left is the burnt aroma of pork, which is not greasy at all. Spring rolls are fried and dipped in special sauce. They taste great. The boss said that their braised chicken and water poplar flowers are also signature dishes, so I can only come back next time to enjoy it.

Erhai Lake is not a sea, but it is more beautiful than a sea. Starting from the ancient city of Dali, renting a battery car and riding slowly all the way to feel the breeze blowing against your face and the sky high and broad clouds is the most stressful way.

The cycling route will pass through Xizhou Ancient Town, Haishue Park, and Shuanglang Ancient Town. I heard from the housekeeper of the inn that the market in Xizhou Ancient Town is very lively every day, and I can see the original and authentic life of the local people in Dali, so I got up early and went to Xizhou Ancient Town to experience it.

There weren't many people when we first arrived at Xizhou Market, which shows that it was indeed a bit early. But not long after, the market became lively, and many street vendors came out one after another to set up stalls. The originally clean and wide streets became so lively and noisy.

This is an ancient Bai town with a history of thousands of years. Like the ancient city of Dali, it has a strong ethnic customs and a profound sense of history and culture. However, unlike the ancient city of Dali, it is more primitive and simple, without much commercial development, and the residents of the ancient town are all locals.

Bai folk houses are original residents of Xizhou. Times have changed and history has changed, but time seems to have stopped here, and the traditional folk customs of folk houses are preserved completely here.

If you want to experience the original and original Bai ancient town, you should come to Xizhou.

The specialty of Xizhou Ancient Town is Xizhou Baba, and you can also eat the most authentic ones here. Freshly baked, charred and crispy Xizhou Baba is perfect for breakfast. Xizhou Baba comes in two flavors, salty and sweet. I am a big fan of the Xian Party.

It is also very interesting to experience the life of local people while traveling.

Haishue Park is not far from Xizhou Ancient Town.

Because it is a peninsula extending into the Erhai Lake, it is named Haishue Park. Compared with a park in the traditional sense, this place is more like a secret land in the world that has not been overexploited. In winter, Haijiao Park is a little fresher. The blue sky and white clouds are reflected in the lake, and it is impossible to tell whether it is the blue of the sky or the blue of the water.

There is a couple tree in the park. The two trees grow side by side and snuggle together tightly. The earth serves as the medium and the blue sky serves as proof. It turns out that plants also have love. In the next life, we must be a tree and stand forever.

Many seagulls can be seen on the Erhai Lake in winter. These seagulls all fly to Dali from afar to spend the winter. In Haishue Park, blue sky and white clouds, coupled with the clear Erhai Lake, and seagulls passing by at low altitude from time to time, every frame is beautiful without adding filters. Want such a clean and leisurely feeling is like only the tranquility and peace in a fairy tale.

In early winter, Haijiao Park is picturesque, with light sea breeze and comfortable. In this land, even time flows particularly slowly. On the way to stroll, you will see some newlyweds taking wedding photos. Presumably, against the backdrop of such beautiful scenery, their photo happiness will overflow the screen. It is also because of this that Haishue Park has become one of Dali's online celebrity check-in spots.

Shuanglang Ancient Town, which is close to Xizhou Ancient Town, is also my destination.

Everyone says that the time in Shuanglang is slow, but only by really coming here can you experience the tranquility and leisure.

I don't know if it's time to go to the market, but I can see many aunts and grandmothers carrying baskets picking things at the stalls and speaking authentic dialects. They are probably bargaining and full of life. The older generation of people here still wear traditional national costumes and live in a peaceful place. Only when the state of a small country and few people is comfortable and natural.

When I was a child, happiness was simple; when I grew up, it was simple and happy.

There is a place called Yuji Island in Shuanglang. The island is not big, but it also has a unique scenery. There are many places on the island where you can see the Erhai Lake from a distance, and there is even a telescope where you can see the scenery across the sea. Walking around the island and passing by Yuji Temple, it turns out that Yuji Island is named after it.

The island is very quiet and simple. Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace were also built here. The Moon Palace is Yang Liping's residence, and the Sun Palace is a hotel open to the public. You only need to spend at the hotel to enter and visit. Such an ethereal dancer and such a fairyland on earth seem to be connected together.

It was almost evening when we returned to the ancient city of Dali, and it was almost time for dinner. Dinner was served at Jinhua Amei Restaurant, a well-known Internet celebrity restaurant in Dali. The reason why I have come to Yunnan so many times, in addition to the beautiful scenery that I can't give up, is also a large part of it because of Yunnan food. For some reason, I like Yunnan food to the point of being a little obsessed, so every meal must be eaten in a formal Yunnan restaurant.

Jinhua Amei means a kind and simple woman in Yunnan dialect. After entering the door, I was attracted by the decoration full of Dali Bai ethnic characteristics. I ordered mushroom soup, stuffed tofu, Pu 'er tea-scented beef, and flower scented papaya fish made with golden flowers.

The mushroom soup is very delicious, and the taste buds are activated with a single bite. The steamed tofu is very delicious, with a crispy outer shell and a smooth and tender inside. The papaya fish did not step on thunder at all. The fish meat was not fishy at all. It was extremely tender and tender. The beef was very large. This was the first time I had eaten beef with this flavor.

After eating this meal, I felt that it would be worth it even if I came to Dali specially next time.

In such an antique environment, eating is also a kind of enjoyment. I also saw many tourists taking photos here and checking in.

I found a bar while strolling along Renmin Road after dinner. At first glance, the outside is no different from other bars in Dali, but there is a unique place when you walk inside. The bar is transformed from a traditional Dali courtyard. The first floor is open as a bar and the second floor is protected as a cultural relic. There are several different singers singing one night, from folk songs to pop songs. Sitting here quietly all night with a glass of wine for each person and emptying yourself is indescribable.

It is said that Dali lacks most literary and artistic youth, so the Four Seasons Market can be called a gathering place for literary and artistic youth.

In Dali, there is a four-season market every Saturday, starting from 2 o'clock in the afternoon and ending at night. The rise of markets actually has little to do with local customs. Many "big drifters" who have fled Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou to live in Dali gather here. All kinds of handicrafts, food and toys will meet suitable buyers here, and artists will also perform live. It is quite the style of an ancient Jianghu chivalrous man.

Folk songs, rock or experimental music are performed here from time to time, and interesting cultural creations, antiques, handmade ornaments and ancient works bring the market to the local atmosphere. The Bai traditional armour horse, wool felt, and blue dye express the collision and integration of the nation and the world, old things and new things grow freely here.

Sellers randomly place their sales items on the stall or on the lawn, and then bask in the sun leisurely. If anyone is interested, they will buy them, and it doesn't matter if no one else is interested. This kind of straightforward behavior really makes others envious.

There are also many dogs on the lawn led out by their owners to stroll around. Children who do not go to kindergarten also come to join in the fun. Accompanied by rhythmic music, looking at the clouds and listening to the wind, everyone is immersed in their own world. Dali's charm lies not only in its picturesque scenery, but also in its all-encompassing nature. Diversified cultures gather and intertwined here. No matter where you come from, you can find your value and meaning here.

If you happen to come to Dali on Saturday, you must come to this four-season market with no fences and no tickets to communicate with these interesting people.

Maybe they have played out the story you are playing out, or maybe your current life is a dream they are striving for.

Caicun Wharf can be regarded as a very small minority attraction in Dali, but its scenery is not diminished by its small minority. This eastern village, located in the ancient city of Dali, has its back on Cangshan Mountain and faces the Erhai Lake. Standing on the dock, it jumps high. In the distance, the sky is high and the clouds are clear and the distant mountains are long; nearby, the blue waves are rippling, and the waves are still the same. There is only a blue line left at the junction of the paddy fields, and the beautiful scenery will always be pleasant.

Walk along the shore, and sit on the steps of the dock to rest when you are tired. The genial wind blows from the sea, willow branches sway, birds hover, the sunshine is gentle, Jay Chou's sunny day is played in the headphones, and everything is just right. Just sit here quietly, enjoying the comfortable time that you don't usually have, empty your mind, ignore the passage of time, stop flipping through your boring mobile phone, and listen to the voice deep in your heart.

Occasionally, a boat drifted by, occasionally three friends laughed and joked, and occasionally a couple walked by sweetly. This peaceful and peaceful atmosphere was really tempting.

There are also large areas of wetlands not far away. Branches and meadows emerge from the water, mixed with various unknown flowers and plants or eating waterbirds, adding a bit of spirituality and wildness to the village. Tourists and birds, do not interfere with each other and make each other interesting.

Of course, here you can buy a ferry ticket, take a small boat, float leisurely in the Erhai Lake, bend down to play in the water, and look up to admire the clouds. This is another wonderful experience.

I envy the residents living here. After dinner, they can go to the seaside to blow the wind and enjoy the colorful sunset. Along the newly built Huanhai West Road, around the wetland park, they can breathe fresh air. The pastoral life always makes people feel yearning.

Near Caicun, the Yang Liping Grand Theater, which was completed only in the first half of this year, has become one of Dali's must-check cards. It is located on the northeast side of the ancient city of Dali, north of the Caicun Tourist Highway, and between Cheyi Village and Caicun Village. It can be easily located on Gaode and Baidu maps.

After arriving at the Grand Theater, the picture presented in front of me was enough to describe it as shocking. The bright sun poured down, and the unique blue sky that can only be seen in Dali made people palpitating. Around the periphery of the Grand Theater, different angles show different aesthetic feelings. Under the blue sky and white clouds, there are emerald green Cangshan Mountain, blue Erhai Lake, quiet villages, and vast fields, with a panoramic view of the "most" Dali paintings and admiring this unique art building. I can't think of anything else except shocking and beautiful.

Inside the Grand Theater, the overall shape is curved. Looking up, you can see blue sky and white clouds. It is simply like a picture that only exists in anime.

Standing from a distance and looking out, the theater is almost perfectly integrated with the Cangshan peaks that it relies on. The strong visual impact will definitely make you feel that this trip is great value. Raise the camera and take a random photo, and you can grab a large piece of it easily. Here, you won't feel the obtrusiveness of this building at all, as if it should stand here and look like this, complementing the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai in Dali. Therefore, man and nature are not irreconcilable opposites. As long as they are careful enough, they can coexist harmoniously.

Returning to the ancient city from Caicun, it was almost time for dinner.

The Dali Kingdom of Jin Yong's "Eight Parts of the Dragon" adds a bit of martial arts to Dali. Dali Duan Gongzi's restaurant is particularly eye-catching. The love between Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan is still fresh in my memory even after many years. It is really unreasonable for martial arts fans not to come and eat such a restaurant name. There are two stores in Dali, one is the Tianlong Babu Characteristic Experience Store, and the other is the Dali Ancient Country Culture Experience Store. I went to the Ancient Country Culture Experience Store.

The wooden signboards and the antique storefront are no different from the decoration of ancient inns. The decoration in the store is also very consistent with the culture of ancient Dali. The exquisite murals on the walls show the history and ancient times of the Dali Kingdom, and carefully observe and appreciate the local customs and customs of Dali. The throne of the King of Dali is also resplendent and very domineering.

I must mention that the tableware in this store is the most creative I have ever seen. Bamboo tubes, swords, and shau pans make people call themselves experts and take photos.

The dishes are also very Yunnan specialties, so we ordered several specialties. Pineapple rice is sweet and sour, and the specialty rattan pepper chicken sesame and sesame spicy is very enjoyable. The citronella pork ribs are very delicious, and it feels great to nibble on the ribs in large chunks. Overall, I am very satisfied and the waiting time is worth it. Of course, it is better if I don't need to wait.

Weishan Ancient City is a very unfamiliar place to many people who come to Dali for the first time, but because of this, Weishan Ancient City maintains its original tranquility. Compared with the ancient city of Dali, the ancient city of Weishan can meet the tourist needs of tourists. At the same time, it also retains the original living conditions in the ancient city, which shocked me when I arrived here. The ancient city of Weishan is the birthplace of Nanzhao State, so the ancient city is very large in scale.

It takes more than an hour to reach Weishan County from the ancient city of Dali, and the ancient city of Weishan is embedded in Weishan County and integrated with the surrounding mountains. The people of Weishan live with the ancient city, which has more vitality because of its life.

This ancient city had cottages since the early Tang Dynasty. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Duan family chief began to build the Tucheng, but it was not officially built in the Ming Dynasty. The entire county seat is still relatively complete today. The overall wool of the ancient city still retains the chessboard pattern when the city was built more than 600 years ago. There is a square city, 25 streets, and 18 alleys. The streets are distributed in a square shape. The standard tic-shaped structure is scattered from the center to all directions. Large and small Ming and Qing architectural houses are scattered. Walking in such an ancient city, if you don't make relevant strategies in advance, you can easily get lost in it.

Different from other famous and highly commercialized ancient cities, Weishan Ancient City reveals more of the atmosphere of life. Although there are tourists, there are only a few scattered and not many. Most of the people walking on the streets and selling in shops are locals.

Enter the ancient street paved with stone slabs and stroll slowly. The old courtyards on both sides have been dyed old by the years. They snuggle against each other and experience the baptism of time rings together. While people laugh and laugh, they listen to history and tell stories.

Here, you can find the historical heritage of the ancient Nanzhao country. Gongchen Tower is majestic. Echoing it from afar is Xinggong Tower. It stands quietly under the blue sky, and the figure of pigeons flies through the air, which is extremely charming, just like Beijing's Bell and Drum Tower; Here, you can also find the most secular fireworks, the path of the vegetable market, the warm sun shines on the ground, drink a large bowl of tea at a tea stall, and have a bowl of raked meat and bait noodles at the noodle shop. In addition, you can constantly encounter smiles and warmth in barber shops, orchid gardens, inns, saddle-gear shops, and stele shops.

I was satisfied to leave Weishan Ancient City.

The next planned destination is Shaxi Ancient Town, two hours 'drive from the ancient city of Dali. It is often called by tourists as the "Ancient City of Dali twenty years ago".

I have never been to the ancient city of Dali twenty years ago, and I don't know what it looks like. However, after coming to Shaxi Ancient Town, I really understood what the so-called "ancient city of Dali twenty years ago" is.

This ancient town of Shaxi, hidden in the mountains of Yunnan, exudes an atmosphere of tranquility and simplicity. It is the place closest to China's ideal rural life. Before entering the city, you will see large tracts of fields and romantic lavender flowers. Fields, crisscross traffic, scattered houses, and groups of ducks swaying down the pond, giving a leisurely and comfortable pastoral scenery.

Residents of Shaxi and tourists who came here jointly created this beautiful picture of Shaxi. On Sideng Street, old people with crutches are walking leisurely. If they are lucky, they can witness a traditional Bai concert together and feel the traditional atmosphere of the nation. The ancient town is not big and can be walked around in half a day. The slow pace is most suitable for friends and couples to walk hand in hand on the stone road.

Find a quiet cafe, order a cup of popular coffee, and spend the lazy afternoon together. These are all signs of the rejuvenation of this ancient city. There is no noise from bars and music, only the tranquility of cafes and bookstores.

Speaking of bookstores, I have to mention the pioneer bookstore in this ancient city. In Beilong Village, the ancient town of Shaxi, the outer wall made of mud and gravel looks like an old house from the 1820s and 1930s. This used to be a granary, and it is now a granary, but it has changed from food to food to enrich spirit and thought.

Bright yellow light shines through the window, and it is not difficult to see what kind of prosperous scenery is inside. Walking inside, the solid wood bookshelves are filled with densely packed books. The best-selling and niche books can be selected from them. Anyone can choose their favorites. Walking up the stairs, just like this bookstore, I, a stranger on the earth, once again walked into the poems and literature that once illuminated and warmed me, and drank a cup of coffee with Adonis Rambo and Simboska flavor.

Pick up a book that you like, put on headphones, and quietly immerse yourself in the ocean of knowledge. Hold the book in your hand, smell the faint ink fragrance, and feel the touch of paper matte on your fingertips. I am really happy.

Taking Shaxi Ancient Town as Dali's last stop, we have grasped the cycle of years very well.

In my heart, Dali is a beautiful girl with a graceful upper body. After looking back and smiling, it is attachment, similarity, and watching for thousands of years.

This trip to Dali made me further realize its changeable nature, leisure, nature and simplicity. Erhai Lake, Shuanglang, Xizhou... every place is worth remembering.

I like this slow way of in-depth travel very much, which allows me to freely taste the life I aspire to.

Some people say that the significance of travel lies in that when you tell your story to others, it is not just about the trivial land.

It takes a two-hour drive from Dali to Lijiang, and the beauty of the way is sprinkled. After seven o'clock in the evening, my feet were already on the soil of Lijiang. After a long journey, I didn't have much energy to visit the ancient city again. After settling in the hotel, I played around.

I first met Lijiang in Da Bing's "Be Good, Touch your Head". The book depicts me a Lijiang who is loyal and free, and I have always longed for it. This is not my first time here. Every time, I have new encounters and surprises.

Lijiang in the narrow sense simply refers to the ancient city of Lijiang (Dayan Ancient City). In the broad sense, Lijiang also includes Shuhe Ancient Town and Baisha Ancient Town. These three ancient towns have become representative ancient towns of Naxi culture and important towns on the ancient tea-horse road.

The ancient city of Lijiang is a changeable girl that can satisfy everyone's fantasies. I haven't gotten up so early for a long time. I just want to have a full breakfast and have a good stroll around Lijiang in the morning.

Walking in the quiet and distant alleys in the morning, watching the mist and shining light, under the sunshine, the ancient city was shrouded in a dreamy atmosphere. Lijiang has the most flavor at this time. It seems to be sleeping but not sleeping, and it seems to be awake but not awake. It has an ignorant beauty. The most important thing is that there are fewer people and it is cleaner.

The small bridges in the city are winding, the flowing wine and winding water, and the eaves are low, making it look like a beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River; the sky outside the city is high and the clouds are high, the snowy mountains are tall, and the wind is light and the clouds are clear, giving a plateau scenery far from the world.

The winding blue stone road stretches vertically and horizontally, full of fireworks. Each of the inns has its own characteristics, without exception, is beautiful and has very different styles. The courtyard is full of flowers, and some of them appear on the walls, inadvertently attracting you to hold on, which is enough to show the owner's careful care. I can finally realize the original intention of those who resigned their jobs and opened inns in Lijiang. Not only did they want to give tourists a safe place to stay, but more importantly, they also provided themselves with a safe haven.

Wandering in the ancient city, I went to the teahouse of Miss Douer in the Book of Ice, and also went to the cabin of Ice. Accompanied by the gurgling water of the stream flowing down the snowy mountains, the crisp copper bells jingling under the eaves, I met with flowers, weeping willows, small bridges, and breeze... A simple, elegant and quiet picture.

Whether it is nature or time, this ancient city is treated too well. Feel the impact of gorgeous colors in Umbrella Alley on Sifang Street; the large waterwheel at the north gate squeaks, allowing you to feel the mark of ancient times; the shouts and sales of Zhongyi Market allow you to deeply understand the taste of life in this ancient city.

In the ancient city of Lijiang, whether it is a noisy night in a bar, or a dull cat basking in the sun during the day, whether it is a wanderer chasing his dreams and leaving his troubles behind, or a reclusive person who has peace of mind and seeks stability all the time, there is one of the most simple wishes., is to find the most authentic self.

Lijiang is the destination and the journey.

For lunch, I chose Dianyuan Private Kitchen, an online popular restaurant in the ancient city. The location of the restaurant is very easy to find, just near the central square of the ancient city, and you can find it while shopping around. The shop is in Lijiang's traditional architectural style. The lobby is not big from the outside, but it is only after entering that you discover a unique cave. A two-story building and a courtyard were packed with tables and chairs. The traditional decoration of the Naxi people and the right placement of green plants and flowers are very suitable for taking photos. Even if you don't eat here anymore, just sitting in the restaurant is a very comfortable thing.

I saw on the Internet that this restaurant specializes in Lijiang specialties, so I followed the recommendation and ordered some dishes. Dianyuan's secret flower scented snow mountain fish breaks the conventional practice. The fish is innate, tender, smooth and delicious without any fishy smell; the secret dry fragrant Baoshan fire ladle beef is firm and chewy, and the more delicious it is chewed;

Yunnan's rice noodles are famous. In addition to the traditional crossing the bridge rice noodles, you can also eat Hani Terrace Chicken Red Rice Noodles, which is super delicious. Each dish is not only beautiful in color, but even the tableware is very distinctive and does not step on thunder at all.

It can be seen from the expressions of the surrounding diners that everyone ate this meal happily.

I went to Shuhe Ancient Town in the afternoon. The ancient town of Shuhe gives people a very different feeling than the ancient city of Lijiang. Although Shuhe Ancient Town has also begun to be commercialized, and many houses along the street have been converted into shops, bars and inns, because there are not many tourists and the degree of commercialization is not heavy, everything is still so lazy and simple. natural.

Walking on the stone road and crossing the thousand-year-old tea-horse ancient road, the sound of hooves is still melodious. Time freezes at this moment. You can see the prosperous scenery of the past. People come and go, and the tea-horse ancient road museum is also in Shuhe. Interested in this period of history can go in and deeply experience the culture of the tea-horse ancient road.

The tourists walking in the ancient town do not panic the residents of the ancient town. They still spend their lives leisurely at their own pace. The stream is gurgling under the Qinglong Bridge, and people come and go on the bridge.

Jiuding Tan, as the place with the most concentrated beautiful scenery in Shuhe Ancient Town, seems to have come to a paradise amidst the green trees and red flowers. Naxi women washing clothes by the river and simple old people carrying firewood in the alleys. From them, all you can feel is leisurely and comfortable.

Shuhe also has a Sifang Street, but compared with the prosperity of Lijiang, it seems much deserted. This kind of loneliness seems to me to be very rare. If reality permits, I hope to stay here forever, put aside worldly troubles, and spend more time alone with myself clearly, reading, chatting, being in a daze, and dreaming. Wouldn't it be beautiful?

Baisha Ancient Town should be regarded as the most simple town in Lijiang. After walking around Shuhe, the next stop arrived here, which really didn't disappoint. Baisha is more natural and fascinating than Lijiang and Shuhe.

The rough and uncarved stone roads, the Dongba pictograms that can be seen everywhere, and the rhythm of life at sunrise and sunset, you can experience the most primitive Naxi legacy here.

Here, you can change your identity, experience another life, and live another life. Life needs fireworks, and it also needs to be beautiful quietly. At the coffee shop on the white sand street, you want to have a cup of coffee, sit under the awning, and occasionally have a sip, making you feel comfortable.

Looking up at the clearly visible Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the old lady is sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun, the residents are returning home with baskets on their backs, the blue sky is close at hand, hungry children playing on the streets, and dogs chasing each other in the alleys. What a beautiful picture.

People are really complex. Sometimes their desires are overwhelming, and sometimes they are easily moved by something simple and pure. After more experience, you will understand that there is no need to deliberately cater to anything. Interesting people and lovely things will cater to each other.

It was already night from Baisha back to the Ancient City of Lijiang. Although he had eaten a lot of snacks along the way, his stomach was still clamoring at this moment. He couldn't wait to collect dinner and chose the Prince of West Yunnan restaurant. There is a saying that Yunnan food is really not enough to get tired of eating it. The Prince of Western Yunnan is also very popular on the Internet, so he still needs to wait for a wait. The most difficult time in the world is waiting for a wait. After entering, I found that the decoration inside was very Lijiang characteristics. Big water cars, ancient tea-horse roads, and Naxi elements could be seen everywhere in the store. The menu was made into a scroll imperial edict style, full of ancient style.

Ethnic bamboo bamboo tube snow mountain fish, Miao secret sour soup beef, Yunnan Naxi pork ribs, every dish poked my stomach, and I couldn't stop taking one bite at a time. The tableware used to serve the vegetables were all super beautiful and creative. This exquisite presentation added a little delicacy to the dishes.

The food pictures taken in the store praised the circle of friends every minute. I have to say that my vanity was greatly satisfied.

After dinner, I returned to the hotel and had a good night's sleep.

When I came to Lijiang in the past, I only looked at the shape of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance. This time, I wanted to climb there and have a look. You must know that this season, the first snow has already been ushered in on the Yulong Snow Mountain. I wonder what kind of fate will happen on this snow-capped mountain.

Get up early the next day, wrap yourself up thickly, and set off for Yulong Snow Mountain.

This sacred mountain in the eyes of the Naxi people, the closer we get, the more excited our hearts become. After arriving at the scenic spot, I was not surprised to see the crowd queuing. It seems that many tourists have surprisingly consistent ideas and line up for tickets according to their usual practice.

After riding on the cable car, it rose higher and higher as it swung, and the snow became heavier and heavier. The patient who was afraid of heights did not dare to look down, but he did not want to miss the beautiful scenery. Under this contradictory mentality, he reached the top of the mountain. After getting off the cable car, I was so shocked by the whiteness that I couldn't speak.

The clouds are rising, the sea of clouds is rolling, and the steep peaks are covered with white snow. Although there is a little lack of oxygen, I can't help but raise my camera and take pictures. I feel that there is no need to revise the pictures because it is already beautiful.

Light makeup wraps Yulong Mountain, crystal clear and beautiful in the snow. There are countless snow-capped mountains and ice peaks in the natural world, and countless mountains and mountains in the world. However, I feel that there are rare and holy snow-capped mountains like the Yulong Snow Mountain. Blue skies, white clouds, and snowy mountains are not stained with dust in the secular world. They are too healing.

There are restaurants, lounges and the like on the top of the mountain, where you can have a little food and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your body. After that, we took the cable car down the mountain. Compared with the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with an altitude of 4680 meters, what makes me more excited is the Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the mountain. Because water is rich in copper ions, its color is blue, and it looks like the moon, hence the name.

Perhaps it was a touch of blue from the jade pool in the sky that accidentally fell under the sky, and it hit the south of the colorful clouds and became a watercolor painting. I once heard a saying that is very suitable for the scenery here: "Everyone wants you to be happy, but I think that you have traveled through the mountains and rivers and feel that the world is worth it."

Because of the natural snow water, a sapphire-like lake is formed. It is clear and transparent, and shines under the illumination of the sun. The shadows of trees, the sky, and the clouds can all be traced on the water, like a fairyland on earth.

The shallow river bed is white, the deep valley is far away, and the mountain breeze is cold. It's as beautiful as a painting here.

The four seasons pass, the years pass, I have experienced the gentleness of spring, felt the warmth of summer, and walked through the tranquility of autumn leaves. Everything will settle in winter. I couldn't help but pause and touch the lake water. The heart-piercing coolness made me wake up.

After coming out of Blue Moon Valley, I was ready to return. A journey through mountains, a journey through water, a journey through memories. I came in a hurry, but I didn't give up when I returned. The freedom you yearn for, the sky you are in awe, and when you meet beautiful things, Blue Moon Valley will always be engraved in your heart.

Everything I encounter in Dali and Lijiang is my treasure. When I am depressed, I can't help but open the box of memories, turn out these treasures, and then savor and play carefully. It has the power to heal everything.

I have seen clouds in Cangshan and rain in Erhai Lake.

I have seen early winter snow covering the Yulong Snow Mountain, and I have also seen the lush foot of the mountain.

In this silent place far away from the dust, I let the breeze blow my face and the water ripple.

I saw the spring breeze, eight miles and ten miles, with flowers on my sleeves.

No matter when you recall them, they are always gratifying and warm in life.
