Kunming Yunnan University

It has been nearly a month since I came back, and my memory has begun to blur. Maybe after a while, I may not remember the bits of happiness on the way. In the final analysis, people are still cold-blooded. No matter whether they are happy or sad, over time, they will no longer be as clear as they were before, and even fall into nothingness. I think I have found something that really fascinates me. The desire for freedom and my innate curiosity about the world have made me fall in love with this game of running far away. There is a saying that I strongly agree: Travel is a disease, but this disease makes people completely unwilling to treat it. DAY 1 Hangzhou-Kunming, overnight stay at Kunming Railway Station

DAY 2 Kunming: Yunnan University had traveled a long way the day before, so I slept until I woke up naturally and had brunch directly. I was still quite disappointed with Kunming's rice noodles. Go to the railway station to store your luggage and set off for Yunnan University. I don't remember which bus I took, but there are direct buses at the train station anyway.

Although Yunnan University ranks among the top ten in China in terms of landscape, I have no feelings for this at all, just like the last time I went to Xiamen University, I couldn't see how beautiful it was. Overall, the old buildings still have some characteristics. It was graduation season, and the corridors on the playground were filled with students wearing bachelor's uniforms taking graduation photos, looking young and young.

Then take a sleeper train to Dali at night. In fact, this process is also very fun, because basically the entire carriage is full of travel partners. If you are in a good mood, you can talk about anyone for a long time and chat about past travel experiences together, which is full of color.

Life in Haiti in Erhai Lake, Dali

DAY2 Dali Ancient City-Shuanglang Haiti Life leaves Dali Railway Station in the morning, and you can directly take Bus No. 8 directly to Dali Ancient City. Enjoy Cangshan Mountain along the way and never miss the scenery on the road. Well, it's really inconvenient to take pictures on the bus, and the photos taken on your mobile phone are not clear.

Dali ancient city

Famous road sections like Foreign Street have never been my favorite places. I prefer to drill various alleys and find various strange but interesting shops.

Of course, there are also cute alpacas. One of them has always been so cheap and cute ~~ You need to collect money to take pictures of alpacas. I took these secretly, hehe

The entire ancient city could be visited quickly. I found a Jiajia Inn to have tea at noon. I couldn't see anything outside. It turned out that there was a strange cave inside the inn. There are many Bai restaurants outside the south gate, where lunch can be served.

After that, we set off for Shuanglang, and we shared a car for 25 yuan per person. The car ride seems to be between 15 and 20 yuan. But I was lazy and didn't want to go to the bus station again, so I chose to carpool, hehe. Again, the scenery on the road must not be missed.

DAY3 continues to get up at six o'clock in Shuanglang and take a boat to watch the sunrise. The sunrise time here is late. But you can't see the real sunrise on the Erhai Lake. There are mountains all around you, and you can only see the sun coming out from behind the mountains.

We set off to ride the Erhai Lake in the afternoon ~~~ It was the first time I rode an electric bike in my life, and I dared to drive it as fast as possible. I accidentally became wild again. Unfortunately, the electric bike was not powerful and there was not enough electricity, so I came back halfway through the ride. This is also the most embarrassing place. Riding a bicycle requires too much energy and time, and electric bicycles cannot get where you want to go. So it's a pity that I didn't go to Haijiao Park. I can only imagine that I will come back many years later to make up for this regret. Therefore, it is recommended that if friends want to go to Haijiao Park, they should start from the ancient city of Dali. The distance is close and the electricity will be enough.

I visited Shuanglang Town in the evening when I came back. The yogurt was worth drinking, and the taste of goat milk was very strong.

Lijiang

DAY 4 Double Corridor-Lijiang. Spend the night in the wood.

Finally, I can sleep until I wake up naturally and carpool to Lijiang. Everyone is a little cheated for 100 yuan. From here, my tragedy began. First, I ate stale preserved pork ribs hot pot, which caused my friend and I to have stomach problems. Then the camera memory card suddenly jerked and all the photos disappeared. I almost lost my soul. Fortunately, I consulted a professional and used software to retrieve it. Then I went to the bar for a drink at night. I had already eaten badly, and with the effect of alcohol, I returned to the gorgeous hotel in the inn. Spitting up and down, feeling dizzy, and I can't bear to think about it.

Lijiang ancient city

Lijiang is a lazy paradise. It's already getting late and you can't see many people. It's about time to eat dinner that gradually increases. But compared with the indulgence of Lijiang at night, I prefer the purity of Lijiang during the day. Walking in an unknown alley and slowly feeling her original with every cell.

I climbed Wangulou at night, but unfortunately I didn't bring my camera and couldn't capture the night view of Lijiang. Ran into a cute little zombie.

Lijiang ancient city

DAY 5 I slept until I woke up naturally. I was very comfortable and my body almost recovered. I went to Shuhe Ancient Town for a stroll.

Shuhe River is a special existence in Lijiang. It is an ancient town that is beautiful and old alone. It is not as crowded and complicated as the ancient city, simple and peaceful! The shining light on the green tiles, the blowing wind between the branches, and the old man walking trembling on the ancient road will slowly fill the softest place in your heart!

Lijiang cuisine tasting, Lijiang's characteristic Naxi cuisine, Lijiang cuisine is a must-miss scenic spot in Lijiang and a gift that your taste buds cannot miss

Lijiang, a border town in Yunnan and an ancient historical and cultural capital, is a good place that many people dream of! Beautiful scenery, delicious food, characteristic culture, nature's ghost axe magic power, the artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water, the overflowing fragrance of flowers, I like Lijiang's windy and sunny weather, and the cloudless sky. I like to travel and taste local specialties in different cities. What impressed me in Lijiang cuisine is the local Naxi cuisine, which is delicious.

Check-in Internet celebrity restaurant: Fuxian small pot rice. Yunnan Folk Restaurants

Location: Next to the Flying Water Toughua Scenic Spot in Shuhe Ancient Town, Lijiang (convenient parking and convenient transportation)

Atmosphere: Naxi themed restaurant combines Chinese retro and Naxi architecture, giving people a fresh, comfortable and retro petty bourgeoisie atmosphere

Dining environment: Elegant, relaxed and comfortable, spacious, clean and sanitary, the restaurant is surrounded by flowers, a clear stream flows through the door, and you can hear the singer's warm singing

Service: The service staff are helpful and attentive with a great sense of service

Special Naxi cuisine: Small pot rice: overflowing fragrance, steam-pot chicken: soup and fresh meat, Naxi grilled fish: crispy skin and fragrant meat, Pu 'er tea braised pork: fat but not greasy, full of fragrance, wrapped bean curd: burnt outside and tender inside, water-sensitive poplar flowers: fresh and refined, etc. There are too many Naxi delicacies, so I don't try them one by one, and experience them if I want to eat them yourself!

Lijiang's scenery is beautiful, the nights are lively, the people are warm, the food is delicious, the soft time in Lijiang, and the slow life in Shuhe are all reasons why I love Lijiang as always!

Tiger Leaping Gorge Wolf Poison Flower Sea Napahai Shangri-La

DAY 6 Lijiang-Shangri-La: Tiger Leaping Gorge, Wolf Poison Flower Sea, Napa Sea.

Generally, you use a chartered bus to go from Lijiang to Shangri-La, because you will pass through Tiger Leaping Gorge, Xiaozhongdian and other places on the way, and you will not stop in places like these by taking the bus. The chartered car is about 800-900 per car per day, so the most cost-effective way is to sign up for a local pure entertainment group. You can park on the roadside and have security.

Shangri-La

The next step is to jump on the tiger. In fact, I would rather go to the tiger jump. The scenery there is more spectacular. You can imagine the surging river roaring in front of your eyes. But unfortunately, it was not on the way, so I had to go to the tiger dance. Wuwu, being old means being discriminated against. I specially bought an undergraduate student ID card, but it turned out that I couldn't use it when I was over 24 years old. Students who are lucky should give up and check every scenic spot.

I didn't want to go riding in the Napahai, but then I missed the scene of galloping and galloping heroically in Kanas last year, so I went with the itch. The result was still quite helpless. The herdsmen might be worried about the safety of tourists and refused to let the horses run away at all. At most, they would just make a slight bump, which was really uncomfortable.

The biggest regret of this trip was that we missed the sea of flowers in Shangri-La. The azalea sea has withered a week ago. According to previous years, this should be the time when Gesang flowers, wolfbane flowers and various wild flowers are in full bloom. However, this year is very unusual. Although the rainy season has begun, there has not been a single rain. Except for wolfbane flowers (at least some wolfbane flowers), nothing else has bloomed!! The small Zhongdian flower sea that I was thinking about was just made a joke by God and I cried and fainted in the toilet.

Arriving in the ancient city of Dukezong at around six o'clock in the evening, due to the high reaction the day before, my appetite was poor and I was in a state of nausea all day. The food here was very greasy and unaccustomed. I wanted to finish eating and visit the ancient city, but a fire burned most of it down last year, and basically everything is under reconstruction. Sigh, the disappeared civilization will not be the same even after it is rebuilt.

pudacuo

DAY 7 Pudacuo-Shangri-La

Shangri-La is much higher than Lijiang. By the time we arrived in Meili, it was already more than 4400 above sea level, but there was no altitude here. It is estimated that the altitude in Lijiang was caused by eating a bad stomach. Although I missed the flowering period, Pudacuo, which is connected by Tianshui, accompanied by green mountains and white clouds, but carries a vast atmosphere, still has no regrets for my trip.

It belongs to Duhu, with a plank road of 2.8 kilometers (if I remember correctly), and it takes about an hour to walk down. Of course, the speed depends on the number of photos you take.

It was already noon when I arrived at Bita Sea. I was so hungry that it was a mistake not to prepare dry food in advance. I could only buy some dry food from the bakery at the entrance to satisfy my hunger, and I felt heartbroken again. You know the price level in the scenic area. The plank road is 4.2 kilometers long (if I remember correctly). Based on the principle that traveling is to experience every scenery that cannot be missed, we will never take a boat. This road should be used. It is the flowering period of northwest iris, and this touch of purple can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

I didn't feel tired after walking for most of the day. It wasn't like climbing a mountain for a few steps. I guess I would have no feeling about climbing mountains from beginning to end in my life. When I left Pudacuo, I couldn't help but sigh: Hey, there are no flowers (_)...

After returning to Lijiang, I finally couldn't stand the taste of Yunnan food and had a normal dinner-Pizza Hut... In order to make up for not taking night pictures in Lijiang the previous two days, I took my camera to climb Wangulou again. In fact, there was no need to buy a ticket to enter. Many teahouses or bars with good geographical locations on Lion Mountain cost two yuan to view the scenery.

DAY 10 is still the same as when Lijiang was in Lijiang, he had been lying in bed for a whole day due to Gao Fu. He came here and carefully felt the customs of Lijiang. He simply didn't go anywhere and just walked around the ancient town.

During this period, I found a book bar and liked it very much. If it weren't for the limited time, I could have stayed here all day, reading books and writing. It seemed natural for me to be lazy in Lijiang. The books and postcards in the bookstore are hard to put down, and there is also a cat sleeping in the dark and unconscious ~

backhaul

We will depart for the railway station around 7 p.m. and return to Kunming in a sleeper. Goodbye, Lijiang.

DAY 0 Kunming-Return trip to Hangzhou.
