I didn't expect that I would seriously write my first travel story this time

I am procrastinating and have been in arrears with my friends with several travel notes

My friends ask me questions from time to time
What about your travel notes on Xizang
What about your travel stories in Xinjiang
What about your travel notes on Huangshan Mountain
emmm...
My New Year's wish is to complete these travel notes

Hobbies ~ Travel and reading

Taking photos ~ average level, hehe

After the whole trip, I found that the road was definitely beautiful, but it was also easy to see some pits that were hard to prevent. A full set of exclusive "pit prevention guides" can be added to friends in need.

Speaking of the beginning of this journey

It's because Shanghai has been in rainy weather for half a month without the sun.
I feel like I'm going to mold
So he left as he said
Decided to go to Lijiang, Yunnan to bask in the sun

I've always wanted to run west
Xinjiang, Qinghai, Sichuan
I especially like the natural scenery of these places
There are also cattle, sheep and other small animals everywhere
I feel like I can feel better

The ancient city of Lijiang is still very lively when people come and go at night

Start your journey--Yulong Snow Mountain

The first person to enter the scenic area is Gan Haizi
Ganhaizi is a plateau meadow located at the eastern foot of the snowy mountain
Overlooking the beautiful scenery of the snowy mountains

Yulong Snow Mountain

Enough photos taken at the foot of the snowy mountain
The snow-capped peaks are particularly beautiful in the sun
As a southerner who cannot see snow all year round,
I really want to jump in the snow and roll

Yulong Snow Mountain

Yulong Snow Mountain

Walking along the plank road from Glacier Park can reach a maximum of 4680 meters
Before starting, I was full of confidence and felt that walking more than 100 meters was a piece of cake
I even think I can do without oxygen
As a result, the further I climbed, I started slapping the face.
I have to sit down and rest for a while almost every step of the stairs behind me.
Wait until the symptoms of high-altitude fever are alleviated before moving forward

Go down to the snowy mountains and have lunch and take a short rest before heading to the Blue Moon Valley
Lanyue Valley is located in the valley north of Ganhaizi at the eastern foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain
Four lakes were formed due to the obstruction of mountains
And the four lakes show a different blue color
Makes me feel like I'm in Jiuzhaigou
The scenery here is super beautiful and refreshing
Sitting by the lake and basking in the sun is so pleasant

After more than four hours of driving, I finally arrived at Lugu Lake
You must buy a ticket before entering the scenic area
I must sigh that the toilets here are really luxurious
There is a viewing platform near the ticket office that overlooks the entire Lugu Lake
The sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the beautiful scenery of Lugu Lake is panoramic

caohai
We set off from Caohai by pig trough boat to Lianghai and then to Wangfei Island
This season, only withered and dilapidated grass remains in the Caohai
Although not as vibrant as green grass
Yellow withered grass and blue lake surface also have another beauty
Various birds and ducks inhabit and swim among them
At that time, I had the urge to jerk off the ducks. They were so cute.

Lugu Lake

After the boat rowed to the bright sea, the water became clearer and you could see the water plants on the bottom of the sea.
It is said that water plants will bloom in spring and summer, which should be more beautiful
When the sun shines on, it feels like the whole pig tank boat is floating on the water. It's very dreamy.
There are also many seagulls on the lake
You can prepare some bread and dried fish to feed them
They'll follow you all the way. It's a spectacular scene.
I tried to feed it by hand for the first time. I was so excited and afraid of getting hurt
Fortunately, it didn't catch the moment when I was taken away by it, so I didn't feel much.
But my expression is out of control, haha

The sun shines on the lake and shines
The breeze blew against the face and the boat swayed slowly and suddenly I wanted to take a nap
There are many little black ducks swimming on the water in the distance
At that time, there was suddenly an idea in my mind that I wanted to eat Zhou Hei Duck...

Lovers Beach has two boundaries, one in Yunnan and one in Sichuan

Our first stop today is Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge is located between Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain
The tiger leaping stone in the center of the river divides the rapids into two and the waves shake the sky
Legend has it that a tiger once jumped from the Yulong Snow Mountain to the Haba Snow Mountain with his feet on the stone in the heart of the river, hence the name

Tiger Leaping Gorge

After starting from Tiger Leaping Gorge, I passed Haba Village on the way

Haba Village

After arriving in Shangri-La, he entered Tibetan areas

The buildings on the streets are also different from Lijiang. They are all Tibetan style

Gadan Songzanlin Temple

Songzanlin Temple is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan
Known as the Little Potala Palace
There are many black birds circling over the temple (forgive me for being illiterate and not knowing what species it is)
It feels very sacred
Remember to respect the beliefs of local people when entering the temple
No noise and no hat are allowed to visit clockwise
Go to a strange place and encounter different beliefs and lives
Sometimes even if you can't understand it, you must respect it.
You can take some photos outside
After entering, you have to listen carefully, explain and visit

After leaving the temple, you can walk around the lake and take a panoramic view of the temple.
The environment here is very good and there are many ducklings on the lake.

The cutest thing is that there are many little squirrels here
And they're not afraid of people.
Put some melon seeds in your hand and they will come and eat them
After getting the melon seeds, I climbed up the tree
Then they will crack the melon seeds out
The melon seeds were thrown from the tree and threw them all over my face
These heartless little guys

Just walking aimlessly like this
This kind of slow life is so beautiful

After returning from Shuhe Ancient Town, I decided to visit Mufu
Mufu was originally the Mu's Tusi Palace and is now the Lijiang Museum
So the entire Mufu building is very grand and glorious
The overall style is modeled after the Forbidden City
It can be seen in many details
On the central axis of the Mufu are major halls such as the Council Hall, Wanjuan Tower, Dharma Hall
There is a home garden next to it, and there is a overpass behind it, which connects to the Jade Garden.

Experience sharing:

About temperature and clothing
Although Yunnan has always been sunny and clear
But the temperature difference between morning and night is very large
When I go out early and come home late, my hands and feet are frozen
So prepare a thick coat or down jacket
You can take off your coat when the sun shines at noon
It's still a little cold where there is no sun
I'm afraid of the cold. I always wear a down jacket
But I didn't have a chance to wear them in the end with a few spring clothes
The temperature in Shangri-La is lower than that in Lijiang
Be sure to pay attention to cold and warm:

About sun protection:
Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection! Pay attention to sun protection!
Pay attention to moisturizing! Pay attention to moisturizing! Pay attention to moisturizing!
Important things must be said three times

About cash:
Now whether it is Lugu Lake in Lijiang or Shangri-La
Alipay and WeChat are both very popular
If it weren't for a particularly remote place
You don't have to bring too much cash.
I used my mobile phone to make almost all payments there
Unless there is some inconvenient situation
So you can prepare a little cash

About altitude sickness:
Lijiang has a higher altitude, and Shangri-La has an altitude of more than 3,000 meters.
Fortunately, we hardly felt anything
Eat and drink well, everything is good
In addition to exercising above 4500 meters above sea level when you are in the snowy mountains
So when climbing the snowy mountains, everyone still has to do what they can
Once your body has a strong high reaction, stop it immediately
Don't put too much burden on your hearts for altitude sickness
A good rest usually won't cause too much trouble
