The wind of the world is the dust harassed by the secular world and occasionally makes us forget. When we look at the turmoil of the present, our hearts should be able to love green mountains, flowing water, and everything about nature. Life is a journey with an unknown end. Walking at this moment is to create time again and again that others cannot replace.

Walking on the road, I like and am accustomed to finding a comfortable shop, picking an elegant postcard, and freezing my mood at the moment in a certain month and day of the year and tell my friends, including me.

Yunnan, I wanted to go when I was in college. Although I may be familiar with it so much that I can't stop crying, I still look forward to the scenery above the clouds.

I don't have the habit of sorting out strategies. I only have two ideas for this travel note. One is to commemorate, and the other just wants to give some suggestions to friends I just met in simple words.

Dali

Day1 Guangdong-Kunming-Dali

Our flight was at 4:40 p.m., but it was delayed by two hours. Because some of the flights from Chaoshan to Kunming stopped in Nanning, Guangxi, it took four hours. We arrived in Kunming at 10:15 p.m. In order to catch the train, we gave up on the original Airport Express Line

(Original plan: It is about 24 kilometers from Kunming Changshui Airport to Kunming Railway Station. Take the Airport Express No. 2 Express Line from Kunming Changshui Airport to Kunming Railway Station and get off directly at Jinjiang. You can reach the railway station after traveling about 100 miles from where you get off. Express fare is 25 yuan/person (walk out of the airport gate and cross the road (directly opposite the gate, right in front of Exit 3!) There is an airport bus, 25 yuan, 40-60 minutes, and it leaves when it is full. There is no traffic jam in about 45 minutes. Stop at Kunming Jinjiang 100 places before Kunming Railway Station and get off the bus.)

Due to the delay of the plane, the scheduled train was missed. In the end, we made a strong and brave decision-in order to shorten the ride time on the journey, we exchanged for train station tickets and headed straight to Dali. The original berth ticket was a pity, but it was a small hardship when you were away. The first 8-hour late-night standing ticket was shown vividly on this trip. The toilets in the corridors of the train were all covered with people, and the smell of human meat was smelled of the whole train. The wheels were clattering thousands of times back and forth, and they finally made it to Dali.

shuanglang

Day2: Cangshan Erhai Lake (Dali Ancient City-Chongsheng Temple-Three Pagoda Reflecting Gong

I vaguely remember Xue Xiaochan saying,"I came by train late at night to see you just for a reunion and then leave." The moment we got off the bus in Dali, our mood was as clear as the sky in Dali.

Dali ancient city

For Dali, there are some expectations. In my mind, Dali is just the longing Cangshan Erhai Lake, just Brother Duan's home. But when I arrived in Dali, I was not only amazed by this wonderful place of feng shui, but also moved by the warmth of Dali's humanity.

"Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon", the four scenery of Dali constitute the main line of romance "wind, flowers, snow and moon". The Bai people have lived and lived here for generations. It is also the historical location of Dali and Nanzhao States, the former residence of the Duan family written by Jin Yong, and the starting point of the Yunnan-Tibet line.

Near Cangshan, there are scenic spots such as Huadian Spring and Tianlongba Film and Television City in Dali Cangshan. The Chongsheng Temple at the foot of Cangshan was built during the Nanzhao Baohe period. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are magnificent and are one of the scenic spots of Canger. There are many islands and fishing villages near the Erhai Lake, such as Xizhou, Shuanglang, etc. The islands have beautiful environment and beautiful scenery.

Dali is much more prosperous than imagined. The ancient city of Dali is bordered by the rippling blue waves of Erhai Lake in the east and the year-round green Cangshan Mountain in the west, forming an urban pattern of "one water surrounds Cangshan and Cangshan embraces the ancient city". The layout of the ancient city of Dali is regular, not as compact and noisy as the ancient city of Lijiang. During the day, the bustling crowds of the ancient city of Dali, the cries of merchants, the sound of grinding silver on the street, the colorful electric car shops one after another, the occasionally flowing streams, and the flawless blue sky, everything is so calm and comfortable. The ancient city of Dali is a little peaceful at night. Perhaps this is its true charm, which can be as deep and distant as the starry sky. In the ancient city after ten o'clock, there were few people. I met the young owner of the "Laiyuan" store and generously presented a postcard, and I was very happy.

Chongsheng Temple is located one kilometer north of the ancient city of Dali in Yunnan Province and takes half an hour on foot. The Three Sacred Towers are the only 5A-level scenic spots in Dali. Tour time: About 2 to 5 hours The Three Towers Reflection Park is located about two to three hundred meters south of Chongsheng Temple. Tickets for Chongsheng Temple include the Three Towers Reflection Park, and there is no need to purchase a separate ticket. The park is very small, and the water in the park reflects the three towers of Chongsheng Temple. It is the best place to photograph the three towers. If you like photography, you must come here.

Take a bus to the ancient city or take a taxi for more than 10 yuan. The water quality of the Erhai Lake at Caicun Wharf is also quite good. However, it is still not recommended to go to Caicun Wharf, because when you get there, you basically go by boat, and the ticket price is very expensive. It is recommended to ride directly in the ancient city with a battery bike, and the direction of riding is Huanhai Road. (Battery cars usually cost 80 yuan a day, and bicycles cost 20 yuan a day).

The sun at five o'clock in the evening is like the three o'clock sunshine in the afternoon on the polar plains, warm yet gentle. I like the boundless rice fields on the road around the Erhai Lake, the blue sky without a trace of white, and the embrace of Diancang Mountain without breaking... Arriving at the edge of the Erhai Lake, it is already 7 o'clock in the evening, and the lake is still sparkling with golden waves. An uncle calmly With a cigarette in his mouth, fishing in the lake, letting the tourists around him play, and letting the swimmers splash the waves, he is still as determined as a rock. For the memory of Erhai Lake, it is warmly reflected in the sun and never far away.

If I still have time, I hope I can stay in Dali and slowly enjoy its sunny days, cloudy days, rainy days or occasional showers. Because it is worth looking forward to.

Lijiang ancient city

Day3: Head to Lijiang (Zhongyi Market-Qiyi Street, Wuyi Street, and Sifang, Ancient City of Lijiang

Going to Lijiang: Lijiang Railway Station is more than 10 kilometers away from the ancient city. Xiao Qian reminded me that there are three ways to get from the railway station to the ancient city:

a. The route passed by bus No. 18: Railway Station-Zhongyi Market-Bailong Square. (If you want to go to the big water train, you can transfer to No. 11)

The routes passed by Bus No. 4: Railway Station-Zhongyi Market-Bailong Square-Guchengkou (Dashuichui)-Red Sun Square-Heilongtan-Ancient City No. 1 Middle School. (Warm reminder: Not all No. 4 buses reach the train station. There is a sign in the lower right corner in front of the No. 4 bus arriving at the train station that says "Arrive at the train station". Other ones without signs are not at the train station. The No. 4 bus arriving at the train station takes about 30 minutes or every hour, so you need patience!)

b. Noodle car: If you are willing to take a 10-yuan noodle car (for soliciting customers), it's okay. Be more careful and pay attention to safety. (Ordinary minibuses will take you to Lashihai and then trick you. If you don't play, they won't drive you back to the ancient city, so it's best for everyone not to take this kind of bus)

c, kz pick up: The best way is to book a room in advance and ask kz to pick up the station.

I have a strange habit of visiting the local market every time I go out. The market is the place that best reflects the living, living and traveling of a place. We arrived in Lijiang at noon. Since we had to transfer to the No. 2 bus at Zhongyi Market to get to kz, we went to visit the market, which was quite a surprise. Things are cheaper than those in the ancient city of Lijiang, fruits are good and cheap, and the local people are also very enthusiastic. We made colorful pigtails there. I also learned to distinguish between good and bad matsutake matsutake in the market, which is also a small gain.

I have been to Fenghuang Ancient City, so the moment I stepped into Lijiang Ancient City, I felt familiar. Streets, buildings, and stones exude tranquility in the quiet afternoon. After placing the luggage, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was still high. We live in the south gate away from the center of the ancient city. As soon as kz comes out, we see small bridges, flowing water and bluestone slabs. The whole stream is covered with water grass and is green, and the willow leaves hang low on the stream. The dark green in the shadow becomes clear green under the sunshine, which is really pleasing.

Spreading out the map, I thought we could walk to Sifang Street quickly. What I didn't expect was that the ancient city of Lijiang was so big that it would take me a long time to walk on Qiyi Street just to get out. People say that Lijiang is the capital of romantic encounters. After all, Lijiang is too lively, and sometimes it is crowded with people. Traveling through such an ancient city, you can imagine that there will be such a person walking for you among the surging crowds in the world and grabbing you. Of course, this can only be an illusion. There are also many international friends in Lijiang. While shopping, they suddenly met a foreigner in the eye and habitually greeted him. He suddenly responded happily. The relationship between people is sometimes so simple. This is the only friendly sentence, hello! That's enough.

Most of the people living in Lijiang are Naxi. Dongba culture is a religious culture and an ancient Naxi culture passed down from Dongba to generations. You can see it everywhere in the Ancient City of Lijiang or the Ancient Town of Shuhe.

Walking to the official gate, I suddenly encountered heavy rain. In a hurry, I took shelter from the rain in a snack shop in Lijiang and had dinner. Lijiang's snacks are dazzling, but they are truly expensive! And they are all at the same price, 25 yuan for a small bowl

Shangri-La

DAY4 Tashi Dele, Shangri-La!

Our first stop was Tiger Leaping Gorge. It is the first Grand Canyon on the Jinsha River (Yangtze River) and a world-famous Grand Canyon. The Tiger Leaping Gorge is located in the southeast of Shangri-La, 05 kilometers away from the urban area of Shangri-La, 35 kilometers away from the First Bay of the Yangtze River, and 60 kilometers away from Lijiang. It is divided into three sections: upper tiger jump, middle tiger jump and lower tiger jump. We went to the tiger jump. I was a little excited to finally see the Yangtze River boiling.

On the way to Shangri-La, I encountered a heavy rain. Shangri-La in the rain seems to have been washed by a god, but it still looks sacred. Outside the car window, horses were grazing on the knoll, and several oxen or yaks were lying lazily on the hillside. Sitting in the car, I have the urge to get off.

"The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is green, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass low to see cattle and sheep." Living in the plains, we can finally embrace the prairie. The green of the grassland is so pure and so remote. Being in the grassland is like being in a green ocean. Not far away, a plane glided past the sky, and a group of yaks were happily filling their stomachs. The endless grassland was dotted with these lovely creatures and was full of life.

That day, I closed my eyes in the fragrant mist of the Buddhist temple, and suddenly heard the true words in your chanting of the Buddhist scriptures;

That month, I shook all the prayer tubes, not to cross over, but to touch your fingertips;

That year, I bowed my head and crawled on the mountain road, not for audience, but just to keep my warmth close to you;

In that life, I turned mountains, rivers and pagodas not to cultivate the afterlife, but to meet you on the way.

--Cangyang Gyatso

"Buddhist Classics" once records that in the past, when Buddha picked flowers, only Kasyapa smiled and walked towards bliss. The Buddha said: Each flower is a world, each grass is a heaven, each leaf is a Tathagata, each sand is a bliss, each side is a pure land, each smile is a dust, and a thought is a tranquility. If the heart does not move, people will not act recklessly, and if they do not move, they will not be hurt; if the heart moves, people will act recklessly, hurting their bodies and bones, and then they will experience all the sufferings of the world. Ask what obsession is in the world? May a leaf be put down, and a smile will dust.

pudacuo

DAY5 is beautiful Pudacuo!

"Life is a journey and a journey; a waiting and a reunion; an adventure and a treasure hunt; a tears and a song." Mr. Wang Guozhen once said this. Shangri-La is the Tibetan language of Diqing, which means "the sun and the moon in the heart". In 1933, James? In his novel "The Lost Horizon", Hilton described for the first time an eternal peaceful and tranquil place "Shangri-La" far away among the mountains of the east. When passing through Moonlight City, when getting off the bus at Dukezong, when turning the Jinglun in Guishan Park, I suddenly discovered that Shangri-La is a spiritual wait for heaven in the world. It is a beautiful reunion of heaven, earth and people. It is the most beautiful adventure of mankind into nature and a search to purify the soul. In Shangri-La, when the sun jumps from the horizon every day, every yesterday can be forgotten. You just need to live in every minute of this moment.

Shangri-La

In the early morning of the second day after arriving in Shangri-La, we set off at 7 o'clock and walked into Pudacuo National Forest Park. The entire park is divided into three sections. The first section belongs to Duhu, the second section is Luorong Ecological Ethnic Village, and the third section is Bita Sea. Pudacuo under the blue sky is indeed beautiful, and every step is a scene. We think the most beautiful scenery is Yudu Lake, which is said to be the place where Nana and Zhang Jie got married.

Xue Xiaochan said that time has long added the most wonderful things to the people who practice it. That wonderful thing is a grassland blessed by nature, a mirror-like lake water, a light, stability, and a reverence for nature. Thank you to our Tibetan brothers and sisters for protecting this peaceful sacred land for us from generation to generation.

There is a time when parting comes. On the way to Shangri-La, I met a group of college students from Guangdong and four families from Fujian. We are very happy to play and eat with each other. I hope that one day, we can see each other again at a certain point.

tea-horse road

DAY6 The shocking tea-horse ancient road

Lijiang is surprisingly quiet in the early morning. What you hear is the sound of running water, the sound of birds, or the sound of a trolley box hitting the stone steps. In the morning in Lijiang, you will feel comfortable and comfortable here to exercise in the sun, read in the rain, watch fish, plant flowers, drink tea, play the piano or take a nap.

The team leader successfully received us as scheduled and started a shocking exploration trip on the ancient tea-horse road...

Lijiang's most famous scenic spots are the Yulong Snow Mountain and the Lashi Sea. Lashihai is connected with the ancient tea-horse road. The Ancient Tea Horse Road is a very special regional name. It is one of the world's most spectacular natural scenery and the most mysterious culture. It originated from the ancient tea-horse exchange between the southwestern border and the northwest border. It flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It existed in southwest and northwest China. It uses horse gangs as the main means of transportation and is a corridor for economic and cultural exchanges among ethnic groups in southwest China.

The ancient tea-horse road has a steep hillside all the way. We rode up it on horseback. What shocked us was that such a steep and narrow mountain road and such a muddy and potholed stone steps were the old tea-horse ancient road! Along the way, the horse bells jingled. The horse rode for a long time, but suddenly encountered the empty greenery-Xiaoyunshanping, an ancient road station. There is a small hill above Xiaoyunshanping, where you can see the entire view of Lijiang and the Yulong Snow Mountain. This scene is beautiful.

Lashihai is located in the middle of Lashiba, 10 kilometers west of Lijiang County. It is the first nature reserve named after "wetland" in Yunnan Province. "Lashi" is the ancient Naxi translation,"La" means barren dam, and "Shi" means new, meaning new barren dam. The best time to visit Lashihai is December in winter is a good time to watch birds, with about 30,000 birds every year. Although we went at the wrong time, the Lashihai Sea has beautiful mountains and rivers, beautiful water and grass, and a vast lake view. It was refreshing to cruise on the lake.

After coming back from Lashihai, we wanted to visit Mufu.

Mufu is the common name for the Mu's Tusi Yamen in Lijiang. The Mu's Tusi family went through three dynasties: the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In its heyday, Mufu covered an area of more than 100 acres and had nearly 100 buildings. It was the heart of the 800-year-old Dayan Ancient City. Although it is just a Tusi house, its luxury and grandeur are no less than the official residence of any prince and noble. According to the Records of Lijiang Prefecture, the former Mufu Hall was majestic and had a strict layout. The central axis alone was 369 meters long. On the central axis, there were halls such as the Council Hall, the Wanjuan Tower, and the Dharma Hall. There were houses on both sides, and there were countless towers and pavilions; the garden corridors were unique in style. Its overall architectural style is "built like the Forbidden City". Therefore, there is a saying that "there is the Forbidden City in the north and the Mufu in the south."

Because I couldn't stand the excessive noise in Lijiang at night, I chose to sit in the clear bar of Sunshine City and sing softly while listening to the song. We all agree that the best Qingba in Lijiang is the best to hear. The singer gently hummed Karen Mok's "Cloudy Sky" and Wang Ruolin's "Labyrinth" on the rainy night, served local boutique specialty coffee, and sat lazily on a bamboo chair. At eleven o'clock in the evening, it was raining heavily in Lijiang. After delivering postcards, on the way back to the inn, the mud and water were damp. The few alleys that were crossed became colder and colder. I was surprised all the way. Lijiang did not have the smell of soil after the rain, but it smelled of vegetation. At night, the ancient city was silent, and each deep lamp was the bright starlight of the ancient city. She was finally harmonious again.

The midnight rain, like a naughty child, wakes up anxiously in the untimely night, and then begins to play and make noise. There was another thick layer of mist in front of the window.

Shuhe ancient town

Since we had to catch the evening train to Kunming for the last two days, we deliberately arranged a day to rest in Lijiang. This time, I chose to live in Shuhe Ancient Town. I happened to meet a super adorable collie at night. Finally, because of the collie, we met a big brother from Guangzhou and his darling Sichuan sister. We started chatting. Pick up a simple note of the years, start folding the time, make your thoughts light, listen to the beauty, and pick up happiness. Among our topics, we include Lijiang, work, city and life... The tranquility of Shuhe Ancient Town at night, coupled with heart-to-heart friends and a few bottles of fresh Dali beer, we are peaceful and peaceful here.

This is an Internet celebrity gourmet restaurant in Lijiang and the most popular one in Lijiang. It is recommended by many people. Many celebrities who come to Lijiang and want to eat Yunnan local specialties will basically check in to this restaurant!

This house is in Shuhe Ancient Town. We just arrived in Shuhe Ancient Town, so we decided to have a meal. When we arrived at the door, the environment was still very good. There were many flowers at the door and a stream flowing through the door. It felt so comfortable. The environment inside the store was also Good, I like it very much!

The waiter has a very good attitude and is very enthusiastic. The store mainly serves local Yunnan cuisine. The taste is delicious and the portions are also very sufficient. Moreover, the price is absolutely affordable for Lijiang. You have to check in. It's worth it!

In a beautiful environment like Shuhe, we were very tired from playing for so many days, so we decided to find a coffee restaurant and stayed for a long time. We really enjoyed it. The environment in the store was really good and quiet. There were also many books. You can read it for free. Everything in the store, coffee, desserts, wine, etc., are relatively affordable. The waiter has a very good attitude and is very enthusiastic. I feel really happy. We must have such a small shop when visiting Shuhe and enjoy the life of Shuhe!

Kunming

DAY8 Kunming Cuihu Lake Lake Lake

After a tiring night of travel and travel, the dream was still filled with clattering sounds. Because of the familiarity, it was safe. At six o'clock in the morning, the train arrived in Kunming ahead of schedule. Due to past murders, Kunming Railway Station still has many special police officers on duty at this hour. At this time, the entire sky in Kunming was still blue, as if the city had not woken up yet.

On this day, the originally planned route was Cuihu Park-----Yunnan Army Martial Arts School----Yunnan University--Yunnan Normal University (Southwest Associated University)----Yunnan Railway Museum---Jinbi Square.

After washing up, I arrived at Cuihu at eight o'clock. In the park, many middle-aged women are dancing Dai dances. Because it was interesting, he put down his backpack without hesitation and jumped with the aunts. "Ten acres of lotus fish world, half a city of willows caressing towers." Mr. Wang Zengqi once said that Cuihu is Kunming's eye. The most outstanding thing about Cuihu is the lotus flower and its strong humanistic atmosphere. The lotus pond is extremely beautiful, not inferior to Mr. Zhu Ziqing's moonlight in the lotus pond. The dragonflies on the lake seem to want to turn into floating lotus petals, beautiful among the clouds and water. At this time, you will understand the infinite attachment of all literati to this pool of water.

Jinma Biji Store

There are still many historical attractions in Yunnan University, but many are not open to tourists. After visiting Yunda, it was already noon and we were very tired. We returned to our residence and fell into a deep sleep. As a result, we missed the time to go to the Railway Museum, but we were content to get a nap. After getting up, I went out at five o'clock in the afternoon, came to Jinbifang, and headed straight to the "Jianxin Garden". In this life, I finally ate the most delicious, delicious and authentic crossing the bridge rice noodles!!

home

Day9 Home

From black hair to white hair, from night to dawn, from spring light to winter snow, from the corners to the ends of the earth. In a person's life, there will always be only one end of his journey-home. Although Yunnan is beautiful, it is not my home after all. So, I got up at five o'clock in the morning, and after fighting with passengers from all over the world for an hour at Changshui International Airport, I finally got on the plane back to Shantou.

The significance of travel lies in meeting, meeting the most beautiful scenery, meeting the most beautiful moment in my life, and meeting memories that no one else can erase. It can amaze the time and warm the years. I understand that walking more does not mean that you have more world. But I am firm that reading and traveling are an unexpected growth. A person's narrowness, entanglement, timidity or sadness can all slowly fade away after each trip. Everyone can live as they like, not for life and death, but for the warmth and love that ultimately settles.

Finally, I would like to thank you for reading this travel book full of false rumors. May you live your life as you please, as you please, and as you please.

I also have a great regret on this trip that I didn't have time to go to Meili Snow Mountain. I hope one day I can see Rizhao Jinshan on the hillside of Kawagbo.
