Travel is another kind of life, life is a journey, and the pace of progress never stops picking up the beauty and grandeur of life, giving travel more meaning to life, and giving life more mood of travel. Maybe one day, I will be tired, I will go, and I will see all the scenery in the world. But every photo is a chapter that writes beautiful memories, recording the beautiful youth of you, me, and him. Take advantage of your youth and leave as soon as you say. On the road, I have no regrets.

In the past two or three years, I have gone to Chongqing, Chengdu, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing, Hunan, Guangxi and other places in the gap between my work. I have always wanted to visit Yunnan, but this time I finally had the opportunity to come to Lijiang and Shangri-La.

Lijiang, a prefecture-level city in Yunnan Province, is located in the northwest of Yunnan Province, at the junction of the three provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. It is an internationally renowned tourist city and an important passage for the ancient "Southern Silk Road" and the "Tea Horse Ancient Road".

Shangri-La's "Moonlight City" is the place closest to heaven. In Tibetan, it means: sun and moon in the heart. Since the publication of Hilton's American novel The Lost Horizon, the Shangri-La described in the book has entered people's world, and people are always full of countless yearning for it.

Prepare before departure:

No matter what time you go to Lijiang and Shangri-La, you must pay attention to protecting your skin. The climate there is dry and ultraviolet radiation is strong. You must prepare sunscreen, sun hats, sunglasses and other sunscreen products, and arrange clothes according to the season.

It was almost evening when we arrived in Shangri-La, and my best friend and I took our luggage and checked into the hotel we had booked in advance to rest-the legendary fifth meteor hotel in "The Lost Horizon".

The hotel is located in Dukezonghua Lane, with a very convenient location and very comfortable and spacious rooms. The decoration and interior reflect Tibetan style. Because it is at a high altitude, each room uses an all-weather dispersed oxygen supply system, so I feel more at ease when sleeping at night. After all, only with good sleep quality can I have the energy to prepare for the subsequent schedule.

It is said that Shangri-La has five meteorites, representing courage, wisdom, love, and health. And this fifth mysterious meteorite representing luck is in the hotel lobby. This is where the hotel's name comes from. The elevator goes directly to the hotel's front desk and you can see this meteor, which represents luck. It is said that if you make a sincere wish on this lucky meteor, you will be able to be safe and happy and everything will be happy ~

When entering the temple, you must follow the principle of going in and out from the left.

It turned out that intangible cultural heritage experience was so interesting.

The grassland is 7 kilometers away from the urban area, about a 15-minute drive. The Napa Sea is at the foot of the Shika Snow Mountain.

If there is a heaven on earth, it must be like Shangri-La. It is very beautiful and full of the atmosphere of ancient times. It is not as noisy as the ancient city of Lijiang. It is quieter than Shuhe Ancient Town and quieter than Dali Ancient Town. Each of its towns is full of humanistic atmosphere, and every part of its buildings is exquisite. Don't miss this treasure place when you come to Yunnan.

A place that shook my soul. This is the sum of all good things, and this is a place to leave good wishes. Goodbye, Shangri-La; goodbye, Lijiang.
