The hotel booked by Ctrip online is located in the north of the ancient city of Lijiang, close to the ancient city parking lot, and close to the large water truck. It is very convenient for tourists who pull a large trolley box to stay in. You can reach the inn immediately after entering the ancient city.


Although the hotel is a B & B, it is quiet and sanitary. On the first day of arrival, the lobby manager also sent us hot flower cakes to taste... ...


The store is very warm. You can drink Pu 'er or Dianhong here. Everyone can chat together and be in a daze. It is casual and comfortable.


Day 1: Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Blue Moon Valley

This is the parking lot of the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area. Although there is not much snow on the snow mountain, it has a more layered feeling!


Entering the scenic area, prepare to take the scenic area shuttle bus to the starting point of the Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway.


Take a bus to the lower station at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, which is also the starting point of the Snow Mountain Cableway. This place is 3356 meters above sea level. The cableway runs upwards from here. The scenery in front of you is lush and there is no hint of autumn!


This is the upper cableway station directly below Fanfan Peak, the main peak of Yulong Snow Mountain, with an altitude of 4506 meters. At this time, the clouds blocked the sun, and the rocks in front of me were quite gray, but I found that the color of the stones resembled snow, so I called them "snow stones."

There are very few tourists on the mountain plank road (we don't need to queue up when taking the cableway, and there is no queue for 1 to 2 hours as the legendary one), which may be a benefit brought by the off-season and sensitive periods!


The clouds and mist move on the mountain, and the tip of the iceberg can be vaguely seen in front of me. This natural landscape puzzles me!


Standing at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, let the clouds linger around.


Going up, heading for 4680!


A group of people in red in the distance actually became a beautiful scenery!


The sun dispels the clouds, the plank road is illuminated by light and shadow, and the picture is rich and three-dimensional!


Mountains and clouds intertwined!


The fog dissipates and the peak returns, setting off the blue sky!


Aerial view of the upper station of the large cableway in the clouds and mist!


Overlooking the mountain plank road!


Under the sunlight, the simple wooden cabin below actually became the focus of vision!


Look at the mountain peak amidst the clouds and mist!


In just a few minutes, the sky became gloomy, and snow could be vaguely seen upwards. The red flag was the highest peak of the plank road, with an altitude of 4680 meters. This time I didn't dare to go up, because I had a bit of altitude reaction!


The rising fog on the observation deck makes people feel as if they have entered a fairyland!


On the top of the bald hillside, several vaguely visible figures brought the picture in the photo to life.


The Yulong Snow Mountain is more than 4500 meters above the sea, with only snow and cold "snow stones".


This is a couple who does not want warmth!



Take oxygen in the mountains!


There was not a single blade of grass growing on the top of the mountain. Because the weather was not very cold, we couldn't appreciate the glaciers of the Yulong Snow Mountain on this trip!



Return from the upper station of the cableway back to this lower station and wait for the scenic area shuttle bus to the Blue Moon Valley!


This is the Blue Moon Valley at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. There are Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake, Tingtao Lake, Yuye Lake and Hongxian Inn in Lanyue Valley.

This is Jingtan Lake in Blue Moon Valley!


Look at how beautiful the water of Jingtan Lake is. It looks really green as jade from this angle, and the lake surface has different colors due to the illumination of light!


Jingtan Lake is like emerald at this time!


Looking at Jingtan Lake from another angle, the water is blue!


Legend has it that Blue Moon Valley is the prototype of the Blue Moon Valley in British writer James Hilton's "The Lost Horizon".


The lonely and straight tree trunks in the water make people sigh at the tenacity of vitality; the reflection of white clouds on the lake makes people feel the charm of nature!


The blue waves in the valley are so beautiful!


"A Drop of Water Passes through Lijiang" is a timely work!


The lake water is particularly clear, as if you are in Jiuzhaigou!


Jingtan Lake looks small and exquisite, but it is very peaceful!

The river water in Lanyue Valley was blocked by mountains during its flow, forming four larger water surfaces, known as Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Lanyue Lake and Tingtao Lake. This is Blue Moon Lake in Blue Moon Valley!

The water surface of Lanyue Lake here is actually as green as blue, and the sky and the color of the lake are harmonious and peaceful!


The Lanyue Lake here is surrounded by green mountains and green trees. Under the bright sunshine, a water rose on the jasper-like lake surface.

A ray of white light!


Photo of Blue Moon Lake!


Walking on the lake plank road is like walking in a landscape gallery!


This is Tingtao Lake in Blue Moon Valley. Due to the large drop in the lake, the stream flows through it like a flying waterfall. You can hear the sound of water when you are near the lake!


When taking this photo, my friend was listening to the waves, and accidentally photographed a flying little rainbow!


Listen to Tao Lake and take photos!


This is the Jade Liquid Lake in Blue Moon Valley!

Hongxian Inn is an inn between Yuye Lake and Jingtan Lake!



This is an alpine grassland at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain at an altitude of 3100 meters. Because it was once a lake wetland, it later dried up into a dense alpine meadow, it is called Ganhaizi. You can see more than ten peaks of Yunlong Snow Mountain from here!


I didn't like to be photographed, so I also took a photo while resting here.


Day 2: Jinsha River, Tiger Leaping Gorge Grand Canyon

The First Bay of the Yangtze River is located between Shigu Town, Lijiang City, in the northwest of Yunnan Province, and Shasongbi Village, in the south of Shangri-La County. The Jinsha River, which comes from northwest, turns sharply here and flows north and east, forming the First Bay of the Yangtze River. This picture is a picture of the Jinsha River flowing from the northwest.


This picture shows the Jinsha River turning north and east. If there is aerial photography, the real spectacle of the "First Bay of the Yangtze River" will appear on the screen!


We took a raft rafting for about 20 minutes in this Jinsha River section to experience the Jinsha River with many swirls and surging undercurrents.


The side of this stone is engraved with "Red Army Land", which must be related to the Red Army's Long March... ...


The Jinsha River is full of wild fun!

Folk corridor in Sangushui Scenic Area!


We had lunch in the Chamagudu Water Town of the Jinsha River. The rural restaurant was very clean. There were only four of us in a group (20 yuan/meal fee per person). We ate chicken and seven or eight kinds of fresh, dried and soy products in a large earth-stove iron pot. The chicken was so tender that we couldn't find in the city. There was also the freshly baked cake that was very fragrant and fragrant. This down-to-earth earth-stove rice was definitely cheap and cheap!


This is the pastoral scenery along the Jinsha River taken in the Chama Gudu Water Town in the boundary of Lijiang. The opposite side of the river belongs to the boundary of Shangri-La!


The Dongba Heavenly Pillar photographed in Gudu Water Town!


The must-visit place today is the Tiger Leaping Gorge. This is the ticket for the Tiger Leaping Gorge. The shooting from this angle is not something ordinary tourists can choose. The most important thing is that it was taken during the peak season. Look at the rolling Jinsha River is filled with its unique khaki color, which is extremely beautiful and spectacular!


This is the rolling river water I photographed from the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Although it lacks the unique earthy color of the rushing river water, it is far less spectacular and beautiful than the picture above. However, when I am between these deep mountains and canyons, I am faced with the waves. When the water rolls in, it is still very shocking! And lamented that this trip was worth it... ...。


A man-made work in the Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area-the Big Rock Tiger!


The Tiger Leaping Gorge, famous for its "danger", is one of the deepest canyons in China.


The Jinsha River traveled thousands of miles here and suddenly encountered the obstruction of two snowy mountains, the Yulong Snow Mountain and the Haba Snow Mountain, which made the originally calm and peaceful river in front of the picture suddenly become furious.


I can only hear the roaring of the river water here!


The narrowest part of the river is only about 30 meters. It is said that a tiger descends down the mountain, lifts his feet slightly on this reef in the river, and then crosses it into the sky, so it is called the Tiger Leaping Gorge.


The triangular reef is called the "Tiger Jumping Stone"!


The place in the photo is Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La; the place on the opposite side is the Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang!


According to local people, the river water is more rapid and spectacular in summer!



The impression that the Tiger Leaping Gorge gave me is that the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the mountains are majestic and steep!


The rolling snowy peaks of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain opposite are faintly visible!


The mountain on the Yulong Snow Mountain opposite the Linxia is steep and precipitous, almost a cliff, with no way to find it.


It is rare to encounter a situation where there are very few tourists in a domestic scenic spot, so I can sit on this somewhat "spoiling" swing and have a rest, hehe.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge Scenic Area we visited this time is the "Upper Tiger Leaping Gorge" in Shangri-La County. The scenic area is very comfortable to play. The repaired plank road allows visitors to not only appreciate the beauty of the Chuanliu Canyon, but also reduce the danger. trip. However, it is somewhat regrettable for people who like hiking expeditions here (because it lacks some original things after all), so they (it is said that there are more foreign hiking explorers) prefer to hike for 2 to 3 days and travel through difficult and difficult trek., and happily travel through the undeveloped "Middle Tiger Jump" and "Lower Tiger Jump" in the Tiger Leaping Gorge Grand Canyon... ...。


At around four o'clock in the afternoon, we returned to Xueyue Inn, sat there drinking Pu 'er, looked at the block outside the glass curtain wall, and chatted about the sky. It was so pleasant!


The ginkgo tree outside Xueyue Inn has turned yellow and is shining golden by the sun. It is very beautiful!


In the evening, we went to Lion Mountain in the ancient city of Lijiang and watched the sunset of the ancient city!


The architecture of the ancient city of Lijiang integrates the essence of Han, Bai, Yi, Tibetan, Naxi and other ethnic groups. Tomorrow, we will concentrate on walking around the ancient city more!


There is a closed courtyard house under the camera!


Most of the houses built along Lion Rock are civil structures!


The ancient city of Lijiang is surrounded by Xiangshan Mountain and Jinhong Mountain in the north and Lion Mountain in the west. Looking from here, the beauty of its mountain city can be seen!


The roads of the ancient city of Lijiang have no rules, and the entire city has no strict city walls. However, the layout is with three mountains as screens and connected by a river;


Standing in this residential leisure bar, we looked at the Yulong Snow Mountain (left mountain peak) covered by clouds in the distance. At this time, the snow on the snow mountain was white.


Everyone ordered some fruits or snacks and quietly watched the sunset on the snowy mountains!


Gradually, the sunset turned the snow on the top of the snowy mountains and the white clouds in the sky red!


Unique lamp!


The sun has finally set, and the lights shine on the sisters. The picture is beautiful!


This is also the filming location of the TV series "Beijing Youth".


Overlooking the ancient city!


In the store, the guitarist is singing "About Winter"!


Night is slowly falling!


The ancient city has become the lights of thousands of homes!


Day 3: Ancient City of Lijiang (also known as Dayan Town)

The ancient city of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasties. It declared the entire ancient city for a World Cultural Heritage and achieved success!

Go north along the ancient city of Yuhe, you can see the Yulong Snow Mountain!


This is the snowy mountain reflected by the morning glow taken around 7:30 in the morning!


The large waterwheel in the ancient city of Lijiang is maintained by the water flowing from the Black Dragon Pool into the Jade River.


On the right side of the waterwheel is a wall showing Chairman Jiang Zemin's inscription!


Go north along the Jade River upstream and leave the ancient city for about 5 to 6 minutes. You will reach Lijiang Black Dragon Pool Park.


The Yulong Snow Mountain photographed at Black Dragon Pool at around 7:45 a.m.!


The Deyue Tower, which faces water on all sides in the Black Dragon Pool, was built in the second year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1876) and renovated in 1963. The plaque of the "Deyue Tower" hanging in the building and the two couplets on the front are written by Mr. Guo Moruo.


The Black Dragon Pool located at the foot of Xiangshan was built in the second year of Qianlong (1737). The five-hole stone arch bridge in front is like a rainbow lying on the waves, dividing the pool water into two.


The crystal clear spring pool is actually the source of drinking water for people in the ancient city of Lijiang!


The Black Dragon Pool in the morning light is very quiet!


Half of the Xiangshan Mountain is reflected in the water, giving the Black Dragon Pool a view of water in the mountains and mountains in the water.


A natural autumn landscape oil painting!


The photo was taken around 9 a.m., the sun was shining high, and the scene was different from the photo taken at 7:45! (I spent more than two hours playing in the Black Dragon Pool. There are some large ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties worth viewing. I also watched the photography exhibition of the ancient city of Lijiang. It was a beautiful enjoyment!)


The entire ancient city is covered with stone roads like this!


The Dongba script on the city wall is the only surviving hieroglyphs in the world. Nowadays, Naxi people still use and learn these characters!


"Rain flows fragrant" on the wooden archway, which is the homophonic of "Go read" in Nasi.


Mufu is the common name for Lijiang Mu's Tusi Yamen. It is located at the foot of Lion Mountain in the ancient city of Lijiang and is now the Lijiang Ancient City Museum.


The Mufu Conference Hall in the ancient city of Lijiang is very royal!


Mufu Wanjuan Building is one of the largest library buildings in Yunnan.


Mufu Promenade, turn left at the end to enter Mufu Family Courtyard (the living area of Mufu Tusi Family).


The orchids in Mufu's courtyard are a unique orchid species I have ever seen!


On a wall in the Mufu courtyard is displayed Naxi women's costumes (this white material is made of sheepskin).


Mu Mansion Protector Hall!


Mufu Guangbi Tower is the gate of the back garden.


Mufu Yuyin Tower is the place where the imperial edict is received, and it is also the place where Mufu songs, dances and banquets are held!


Climb high and shoot Yuyin Tower!


Standing in the Sanqing Hall of Mufu built on Lion Mountain, the house views the entire Mufu building complex. It feels like standing in Jingshan Park and overlooking the Forbidden City. No wonder Xu Xiake once lamented the Mufu: "The beauty of the palace is similar to that of a king."


This is the Kegong Square in the ancient city of Lijiang, which was built during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty!



This is Sifang Street, which is located in the center of the ancient city of Lijiang, with markets extending in all directions and alleys leading to secluded areas. It is said that Sifang Street was built by Mu's Tusi in the Ming Dynasty in accordance with the shape of his seal; it was once the most important hub station on the ancient tea-horse road; Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, merchants from all walks of life gathered.



We are with the Naxi people (Photo taken on Sifang Street)!


Lijiang Ancient Music, commonly known as Naxi Ancient Music, is an ancient music relic that flows in Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang and its surrounding Naxi inhabited areas. According to research, this ancient music originated in the 14th century AD. It is the oldest music in Yunnan Province and one of the oldest music in China or the world!



This is the Naxi Ancient Music Concert Hall, an ordinary courtyard built with simplicity and simplicity. It's a pity that the performance was suspended due to the epidemic and I couldn't listen to it with my own eyes. It's a pity!


The ancient city of Lijiang with water as its core presents its unique spatial layout of water alleys due to the use of water.


Most of the streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are built around mountains and rivers!


The narrow alleys are decorated in a literary and artistic manner, revealing the blue sky, and the visual feeling is very beautiful!


At this time, the blue sky and white walls are reflected in the clear stream, and there are potted flowers and plants everywhere (Lijiang people love flowers very much). There are few tourists in the alleys in the morning. The beauty is simple and pure!


This ancient city with small bridges and flowing water with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters is truly rare in the world. No wonder it has become one of the two ancient cities in China that have successfully declared the entire ancient city as a World Cultural Heritage.


Different from our small bridges and flowing water in Suzhou, but it really makes people feel more cordial!


With a casual tap, you can take pictures of ancient stone carvings like this on the steps!


The river course here in the ancient city of Lijiang is very narrow, and the water comes from the Black Dragon Pool at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the north of the city!


This is the most lively place at night. It is a bar street that young people like!



There are more than 300 bridges built on the Yushui River system in the ancient city of Lijiang, especially the Dashi Bridge 100 meters east of Sifang Street, which is the most distinctive. However, when I passed this bridge, I was carrying the bacon and pork ribs I had purchased in both hands. Therefore, I didn't go to shoot the Dashi Bridge. Now I think about it, it's a pity!


I ate Yunnan Bridge Rice Noodles here. There is a castle tour photo in the store. People who like scenery and real scenes will be very interested!


This is the quantity of crossing the bridge rice noodles for one person!


This is a stone pot of four kinds of mushrooms such as matsutake and chicken meat eaten in the ancient city!

It is also recommended that when you visit the Ancient City of Lijiang, you must go to the Apo Pork Ribs Store and eat preserved pork ribs and matsutake (which are a rare treasure among the fungi in Lijiang) soup pot. After we ate preserved pork ribs there (we forgot to take pictures), we felt that they tasted delicious. The meat was smooth and tender. Coupled with matsutake and local wild vegetables, it was truly delicious.
