Recently, spring is in full bloom and spring is warm. I believe many friends can't help but want to travel and have a comfortable and unforgettable "outing trip".

Recently, I came to Lijiang, the famous tourist city in Yunnan. I really can't remember how many times I have been to Lijiang. I always feel familiar with Lijiang, and I feel like I can discover something new every time.

You can say that, right? Every time I come to Lijiang, I feel that I have regained the "poetry and distance" that I have long lost in my life here. This may be the meaning of travel.


Part 1: Return to Lijiang and live in the "distant place"

In the morning, I flew from Guangzhou to Kunming, then transferred from Kunming to high-speed rail to Lijiang. It was almost all day long. When I arrived in Lijiang, it was almost evening. Fortunately, the weather was good and there were no clouds. As soon as I left the high-speed rail station, I saw the distant Yulong Snow Mountain.

When I was still on the high-speed rail, a friend in Lijiang left me a message saying,"Welcome back." In fact, I have not settled in Lijiang for a long time, but every time I come to Lijiang, I do feel like "coming back". Moreover, Lijiang seems to have a magic power that can relieve my spiritual internal friction.

Coincidentally, the inn I stayed in in Lijiang this time was located near Shuhe Ancient Town, and its name was "Yuanfang Inn".

As soon as I walked into the "Lijiang Yuanfang Inn", it was indeed worthy of its reputation. The architecture and decoration style of the entire inn perfectly blended traditional elements and modern style, which made me relax at once.

Then, I checked into a large room on the third floor of the "Distance Inn" that could see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the balcony.

Not only is the room unique in view, but the interior decoration of the room is also eye-catching!

Chinese-style solid wood furniture, silk bedding, and complete bathroom space, all kinds of smart devices and home appliances are all available, and even the bathtub is particularly designed.

Although the sky turned dark before I had time to take a few glances at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, as long as I thought of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain being in front of me at all times, I could truly feel "Lijiang, I am back."

Especially living in this "Distance Inn" instantly allowed me to find the "Poetry and Distance" that I had lost for a long time in life.

After dinner, I went for a stroll in the ancient town of Shuhe nearby. Maybe it was too late, most shops were closed, and there were not many tourists, but there were still wandering singers sitting on the roadside singing, and a group of people were surrounding him. Listen.

The night in Shuhe Ancient Town is not so lively and noisy, but it has a unique flavor. It seems to contain many people's stories and worries.

No matter how you evaluate Lijiang, in fact, Lijiang has been a place that has been enduring in everyone's minds for decades, and tourists have been coming in an endless stream. It must have its own unique charm."In the eyes of a hundred people, there are a hundred Lijiang", I wonder what Lijiang will look like in your eyes?


Part 2: Riding horses, picnics, and drinking coffee under the snowy mountains

On the second day in Lijiang, Yunnan, we set off early from the "Yuanfang Inn" in Shuhe Ancient Town to the racecourse at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain.

My friends and I were riding horses and picnicking here, and the troubles and trivia of life seemed to be thrown out of the sky in an instant.

The snowy mountains in the distance, the large rapeseed fields nearby, and the unique plateau blue of Lijiang's sky, no matter what spiritual internal friction is, it is instantly cured in such an environment.

The "Little Fairy Tales of Senhuo" cafe next to the racecourse is also a good place to check in. The white wooden cabin is full of fairy tale atmosphere. It is said that the manager of the cafe has come from all over Taiwan.

Whether it is coffee or desserts, the quality is indeed very high, really no less than boutique cafes in big cities. But the key is, how can a big city have such a unique natural environment?

At noon, we had another authentic farmhouse earthen chicken next to the racecourse. It seemed that at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, whether it was riding horses, picnicking, drinking coffee or eating, everything became ceremonial.

Travel is meaningless. Maybe the little things that travel adds to your life will really make sense to you.


Part 3: Lijiang's treasure ancient town "Shuhe Ancient Town"

During my trip to Lijiang this time, the focus was on "Shuhe Ancient Town", which is also one of Lijiang's "Treasure Ancient Town" in my mind.

I don't know if you know anything about Lijiang's "Shuhe Ancient Town". Many tourists come to Lijiang and usually focus on "Dayan Ancient Town".

Many tourists are accustomed to calling the "Dayan Ancient Town" with the most tourists in Lijiang "" Ancient Town of Lijiang ". However, in fact," Ancient Town of Lijiang "also includes many other ancient towns, including" Shuhe Ancient Town ".

"Shuhe Ancient Town" is located about 8 kilometers north of "Dayan Ancient Town" and takes about 20 minutes by car. The geographical location is not too remote and the transportation is relatively convenient.

When you come to Lijiang's "Shuhe Ancient Town", you will find that the scenery here is as good as "Dayan Ancient Town", but it does not have as many tourists as "Dayan Ancient Town".

Therefore,"Shuhe Ancient Town" is less noisy and lively, but more peaceful and leisurely, and the overall atmosphere also makes people feel more authentic.

If you want to experience Lijiang's "slow life" and don't want to crowd with so many tourists,"Shuhe Ancient Town" is really a good choice!

There are many Internet celebrity cafes or Internet celebrity shops in Lijiang's "Shuhe Ancient Town". It feels so pleasant to find time to spend a leisurely afternoon here!

"Lijiang Yuanfang Inn" is just outside the north gate of "Shuhe Ancient Town". It is quite convenient to walk to this ancient town at any time to experience the unique charm of Lijiang!


Part 4: Leaving Lijiang is inseparable from the "distance"

On the third day in Lijiang, I was about to leave soon, and suddenly I felt a little reluctant to part.

This time I came to Lijiang for a trip, and the "Distance Inn" I chose to stay in can be said to be full of legends.

Why is "Lijiang Distance Inn" full of legends?

The main reason is that the construction period of this boutique B & B located outside the north gate of Shuhe Ancient Town is as long as six years, so that many people in Shuhe know that there seems to be a B & B that has never been opened outside the north gate of Shuhe Ancient Town.

Now,"Lijiang Yuanfang Inn" has finally opened its doors to welcome guests, so I came to stay in this legendary boutique B & B in Shuhe Ancient Town to see what it looks like inside.

"Lijiang Distance Inn" has three floors in total. The first floor is a lobby. The courtyard is full of flowers all year round, and the second to third floors are guest rooms.

I live in a room on the third floor that overlooks the Yulong Snow Mountain. The decoration of the entire B & B can almost satisfy everyone's imagination of Chinese classical romance. It is really improving.

In addition,"Lijiang Yuanfang Inn" will also hold various cultural and artistic activities from time to time. You can enjoy local traditional music and various traditional arts live here.

You can experience Lijiang's cultural connotation without leaving the inn, gain more understanding of the city of Lijiang, and develop deeper feelings. Perhaps this is the real "poetry and distance"?


Naturally, it's no wonder that after staying at "Lijiang Distance Inn" for three consecutive nights, I was almost reluctant to leave Lijiang. I hope that when I have the opportunity in the future, I can return to Lijiang as soon as possible to find the "Poetry and Distance" here.
