Lijiang is a classic must-see place that cannot be avoided on almost everyone's itinerary. Naturally, I can't escape the customs. In the past, Lijiang has always existed in others 'descriptions. Now that I finally have a few days of free time, I can't wait to set off towards the holy land in my mind.
When it comes to Lijiang, what fascinates me most is the unique national culture. Naxi culture is the soul of Lijiang, which has contributed to the blooming and retreat of the ancient city. I have been very interested in these since I was a child. Naturally, the beautiful scenery and delicious food of Lijiang are also something I am very eager to experience.
In order to meet my many requirements for Lijiang, I arranged my itinerary well and went to the Naxi Culture Experience Hall in Lijiang on the first morning. After all, the mysterious Naxi culture aroused my interest even more. There are the oldest Naxi villages there.
Time has stopped here. This kind of masonry with historical traces instantly gives people the illusion of traveling through time and space. If it weren't for the fact that people come and go wearing modern costumes reminding me, I really feel like this here has always been like this., never changed.
The experience hall is very good. You can also hear Naxi ancient music, including embroidery experience, tie-dyeing experience, Dongba papermaking...
Among them, my favorite is the tie-dyeing experience. After all, embroidery is really a very, very delicate job. Although I love its exquisiteness, I know that my endurance is limited, my eyesight is not very good, and the stitches are pitifully ugly. I have insufficient strength... I really fell in love with tie-dyeing at a glance. It's quite interesting to love this kind of manual activity, but I can only experience this kind of activity myself.
In the afternoon, I arrived at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that I was longing for. The Glacier Cableway is the only way to reach the summit of Yulong Snow Mountain. You can take the cableway to reach Glacier Park. From the 4506-meter Glacier Park, and then walking to the 4680-meter area, you can see the grand scenery of the entire snowy mountain, the layered vegetation changes, and the snowy glaciers. I feel that this snowy mountain cableway is still very exciting.
The Yulong Snow Mountain is the southernmost snowy mountain in China and the highest mountain peak with the lowest latitude and highest altitude in the northern hemisphere in the world. Because of the Naxi people, this place is also covered with a layer of holiness. Only when you are immersed in it can you feel the healing feeling of being purified, a place that can calm the soul.
I think this is why many people yearn for Lijiang. Only when you come here, only in this place, will certain emotions and ideas be aroused, you will face your heart seriously, and your soul will be washed and repaired.
The next morning, I planned to visit the ancient city.
I feel that when you come to Lijiang, don't rush to chase the scenery on the road, and don't think of yourself as a tourist. You can integrate into the city calmly like the locals, feel its profound history and culture, and touch it. Its historical pulse through time and space. Whether it is the bustling crowd on the streets, the constant cries in your ears, the unique buildings, and the bright colors that constantly intrude into your eyes, you should learn to feel it slowly.
I woke up before seven o'clock, so I got up early to see the ancient city in the early morning light. Fortunately, the weather is good and I feel very lucky. There are many alleys in the ancient city. This ancient city is not suitable for passing quickly by like walking horses and watching lanterns. It is more suitable for slowly viewing. Because there are too many details worth thinking about in the ancient city of Lijiang. There are old streets with bluestone slabs, mottled traces on the walls can be seen, and some small bridges, giving the illusion of being in the south of the Yangtze River.
This place is really a model of the integration of Han culture and ethnic minority culture. It actually allows people to glimpse the elegance and calmness of the small bridges and flowing water in the south, and also feel Lijiang's unique charm.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Lashihai National Wetland Park, the birthplace of Lijiang culture and was once an indispensable and important town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Lashihai is a place where a large number of Naxi people live, and you can feel the deeper meaning of Naxi culture here.
Riding horses and rowing, and also experienced the history and culture of the horse gang.
Lanyue Valley is also often called the Little Jiuzhai in Yunnan. It is said that its color changes like Jiuzhaigou.
If it is sunny and the sky is blue, the lake water will become like a sapphire, but it will be mixed with some mint green light. If it is rainy, the water here will become transparent and clear. It's really beautiful. This trip to Lijiang was worthwhile.
I still feel that something is missing...
Lijiang is always pursuing dreams and never forgetting your original intention
We had dinner at the Dream House Salmon Restaurant, which was recommended by the innkeeper. In short, we were very satisfied after visiting it. Both the dishes and the service attitude were first-class.
The restaurant provides pick-up and drop-off services, which is really very considerate, because many tourists are actually road savvy, and if we might find it ourselves, we would walk a lot of wrong roads.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we kept ordering at first, and the waiter would kindly tell us that we could order less for the time being, afraid that we would not be able to finish it. It was a big praise.
When we finally checked out, the manager gave us a discount. The per capita consumption was only about 60 yuan, which was very affordable. The salmon here was much cheaper than the ones in Gucheng.
Stop and stop, enjoy this slow life, and take pictures of every scene and every detail of Dayan Ancient City. The river water is very clear and you can wash vegetables and clothes.
Wandering in the ancient city, I saw the very popular dessert shop on Weibo, so I walked in and ordered a few desserts. Originally, I just came to join in the fun, but when I ate the yogurt, I was filled with bubbles because it was really to my liking. I generally don't like the yogurt in the supermarket. It's either too sweet or too sour. As a result, this restaurant tasted just right. I even packed two servings before leaving.
Here, you can always find a corner of your own
