I wanted to come to Lijiang a long time ago, but I never made up my mind. Now I have finally taken that step and given myself a little vacation. I have a two-day trip to Lijiang. Although it is very tight, for this city that doesn't know time, two days are also the most beautiful time.

Day 1: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

The cost is between 420 and 500. The general cost of carpooling is 40 yuan per person round trip, but in the end, carpooling will cost more than 400 yuan, because there are still tickets and cableway fees of 220 yuan. The cost of oxygen and renting clothes is actually 4680. It is not very cold at all, and there is no need to rent clothes and buy oxygen at all. There is no place to put them after renting clothes are hot.) After contacting a good car, you can stroll around the ancient city at night. The ancient city is very lively at night, but please don't believe in romantic encounters. It is said that there are thousands of wine trays in the ancient city, and many young girls rely on them for a living. We gathered at about 7:30 the next morning at the ancient city's water cart and set off for Yulong Snow Mountain.

The snowy and immortal mountains are long and secret realms, and no one steps on the fog to cover the vast expanse. It snows all year round, and jade flows through the ancient town. Yulong Snow Mountain is a sacred mountain in the hearts of Naxi people. Its main peak is a steep fan at an altitude of 5596 meters. It is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round. It is an unconquered virgin peak.

The Yulong Snow Mountain consists of 12 snowy peaks. The alpine and snowy scenery is located above 4000 meters above sea level. It is a national 5A-level scenic spot and is famous for its dangers, strangeness, beauty and beauty. Every morning, there will be "Impressions?" on the Lanyue Valley Square in the Snow Mountain Ganhaizi Scenic Area. A large-scale live performance of Lijiang. There is a magical story among the Naxi people: Yulong Snow Mountain and Haba Snow Mountain are twin brothers. They depend on each other and make a living in gold in the Jinsha River. One day, a ferocious demon king suddenly came from the north. He occupied the Jinsha River and prohibited people from seeking gold. The brothers Yulong and Haba were furious and waved their swords to fight against the demon king. Brother Haba was exhausted and unfortunately his head was cut off by the demon king. Brother Yulong fought with the demon king for three days and three nights, cutting off thirteen swords in a row, and finally drove the demon king away. From then on, Brother Haba became the headless Haba Snow Mountain. Brother Yulong held thirteen swords high day and night in order to prevent demons from invading again, which later became thirteen snowy peaks. And his battle sweat turned into black water and white water. The Yulong Snow Mountain is often regarded as an external symbol of the Naxi people, and this legendary Yulong hero has become a symbol of the inner spirit of the Naxi people. The "Sanduo", the patron saint of the Naxi ethnic group, is the embodiment of the Yulong Snow Mountain.

The highest point allowed to climb on the snowy mountain is 4680 above sea level. After coming down, you can visit the Blue Moon Valley, which was formerly known as the "Baishui River". On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley. The name Baishui River is also called Baishui River because the mud at the bottom of the lake is white and the water turns white when it rains. The river water in the Blue Moon Valley was blocked by mountains during its flow, forming four large water surfaces, known as the "Yuye" Lake, the "Jingtan" Lake, the "Blue Moon" Lake and the "Tingtao" Lake. Near the Lanyue Valley, there is also Yunshanping, also known as the Sacrifice Valley. It is said that after the Naxi men and women fell in love, if their families opposed, they would both go to the Yulong Snow Mountain to die for love. When they died, the entire ethnic group would go to see them off. Legend has it that the place they went to after their martyrdom was like a paradise. They rode tigers when they traveled, and they all ate and wore luxurious food. The largest sacrifice in the Yulong Snow Mountain in history was 12 couples. They found a place on the mountain full of azaleas and played together for three days and three nights. Then they hung on a tree and both died in the form of hanging themselves.

After coming down from the snowy mountains, I and several hikers in the inn planned to try Lijiang's most distinctive salmon, one fish and three meals. It was the first time to eat fresh salmon raw. It was not like the frozen food in the supermarket, which was very delicious. Taste of Lijiang.

The next day:

After finishing the trip to Yulong Snow Mountain, I rested in the inn and went to Shuhe Ancient Town. The distance between Shuhe Ancient Town and Dayan Ancient City is about 7 - 8 kilometers away. Shuhe, known as "Shaowu" in Naxi language, was one of the earliest settlements of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi. It was an important market town well preserved on the ancient tea-horse road. It was also a living specimen of the Naxi ancestors 'transition from farming civilization to commercial civilization. It is a model of market town construction formed by opening up to the outside world and horse gang activities. The ancient town was built during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty and is also called Longquan Village. This ancient village faces east to west, and the back mountain of the ancient town is the remnant of the majestic Yulong Snow Mountain. The mountains here are beautiful and the trees are green. Tourists who come to visit are all impressed by the beauty of this place

The scenery was impressed and shocked. The Dashiqiao Bridge and Dajue Palace in the town are still intact. The murals in Dajue Palace vividly depict the figures in Buddhism. This was once a gathering place for Lijiang leather goods. In the ancient town, there is also a Longquan Temple built in the Qing Dynasty, where Sun Bin, the founder of the cobbler, is enshrined.
