I saw this sentence on Weibo: If there is really anything called a clear conscience in a person's life, in my opinion, it is that your childhood has the joy of games, your youth has the experience of wandering, and your old age has unforgettable memories. -- Xiao Fuxing quite agreed after reading "You Should Go to Distance When You Are Young". Thinking about the places he has been passively through over the years because of work and love, they are still beautiful, broadening his horizons and giving him more talk about. Whether there was joy in childhood in the past cannot be changed. Fortunately, the current youth can still be controlled.

Therefore, Yunnan,

Having ended one life, I need to start from here and find another day of my own. Use a journey to collect your thoughts and wave goodbye to the past. You have to experience every journey yourself, and you have to experience every mood yourself... A peace is there.

pre-departure preparation

It is very important and must be prepared in advance for a trip to the Southern Region of Colorful Clouds, the most beautiful frontier in China. Therefore, some of the items I carried during my own personal travel are listed below. Of course, each traveler has different needs and the items I carried are not exactly the same. I hope they can serve as a source of inspiration. In order to read the journey more perfectly and better improve the materials needed during the journey. So, the items I brought this time are as follows:

1. Backpack: On the one hand, the backpack can hold different lenses, drinking water and reserved clothing. The backpack is equipped with different lenses, and it is also very convenient to change the lenses at any time according to different scenes.

2. Clothing: Dali's weather is sometimes very hot, which can be said to be the summer climate. At night, it is winter weather. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, so you must carry thick clothes with you while carrying short sleeves.

3. About travel: Travel should not arrange everything properly, and people will be very tired, which will lose the meaning of travel.

4. About the itinerary

Day 1: Arrive in Kunming

Day 2: Kunming--Shilin Scenic Area--Dianchi Lake--Dali

Day 3: Erhai Lake-Nanzhao Style Island-Dali Ancient City

Day 4: Bai Cultural Park--Dongba Secret Realm--Lijiang Ancient City

Day 5: Naxi Cultural Park--Yulong Snow Mountain--Kunming

Day 6: Kunming-Return journey

We arrived in Kunming on time four hours after getting on the plane. As the radio plane slowly descended, we looked out the window. It was late and there was no rain. I was overjoyed! Passengers walked out of the cabin one after another carrying big and small bags. We thought at that time, let others go out first. Anyway, we were late, so let's go out last.

Near Kunming, clouds have begun to wreak havoc. That's how the South of Colorful Clouds is called.

Considering that I would go to Shilin the next day, I rested early in the arranged hotel on the first day ~

the next day

stone Forest scenic spot

The world's only karst landform scenic spot located in the subtropical plateau area is known as the "No. 1 Wonder in the World" and "Stone Forest Museum"

It's spectacular,

Ashima ~~ There are many Ashima

The Yunnan Stone Forest is a veritable "forest" made of rocks. Walking through it, you can see many strange rocks, which are abrupt and majestic, and have different postures.

"Due to the action of limestone, the stone pillars are separated from each other, and after years of wind and rain erosion, countless stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites, and stone buds have formed a collection of strange rocks, waterfalls, lakes, caves, peaks and hills. A diverse stone forest. "

It is said to be the filming base of the movie Ashima,?? Thinking about it for a long time, it's really unclear. It seems that it's really ancient

Elephants, can you tell? To be honest, the tour guide also pointed to many rocks that looked like mice and rabbits. I was so blind that I couldn't find them. I can only sigh that people's imagination is too rich.
dianchi

Dianchi Lake is the soul of Kunming. Kunming's abbreviation for "Dian" also comes from this. When you come to Kunming, you don't visit Dianchi Lake, and you always feel that it is not so perfect. So, when you walk around Dianchi Lake ~ Haigeng Park is located on the east bank of Dianchi Lake. It is a beautiful park and the main viewing place for Dianchi Lake.

The sun is very bright. Stop and watch. The lake water shines brightly in the sun. Haigeng Park is part of Dianchi Lake. Haigeng refers to a long embankment that goes deep into Dianchi Lake, dividing Dianchi Lake into two lakes.

Feeding seagulls is a must-have, but be careful if they poop on you

I like this one so much. Thanks to my sister for taking a quick photo of it for me.

Dali ancient city

It was already evening when we arrived in Dali. After we hurriedly checked in to the hotel, it was not too late yet

Renmin road

The intersection of Fuxing Road and Renmin Road____

There is this scene every day at the intersection of Fuxing Road and Renmin Road

There are also some stalls at Erhai Gate. Every night there are singing people under Erhai Gate___

It's lively Renmin Road. I'm tired after playing for a day. Go back early and rest. Let's have a good time in Dali tomorrow

the third day

A trip to Erhai Lake

Erhai Lake is not a sea, but it is more beautiful than the sea. This simple but not simple summary is enough to summarize the beauty and majesty of Dali Erhai Lake! It can also truly express the true nature of Erhai Lake! Yamano-kun's summary should not be contradictory in most people's views, right?

Nanzhao Fengqing Island

The one in the middle is Nanzhao Fengqing Island, and the position to see the sunrise is at the left rear of Fengqing Island.

As the cleanest, cleanest and most comfortable area in the Erhai Lake, dig color. Not only can you see the vast sea scenery here, but you can also appreciate the beauty of the original Erhai Natural Village!

As the cleanest, cleanest and most comfortable area in the Erhai Lake, dig color. Not only can you see the vast sea scenery here, but you can also appreciate the beauty of the original Erhai Natural Village! This is the rebuilt house in the original ecological village.

Haha, next is our Jeep + Photo Time.

But no matter how much I turn, I cannot deny that I am still good-looking

There are several of us in our group, two of whom we met on the trip

So the photo above has a post-stage

The clouds and clouds of Cangshan and the sunset reflections of Erhai Lake form an exciting landscape. Such a landscape is truly rare to see.

Erhai Lake is not a sea, but it is more beautiful than the sea. But this is indeed a scenery like the sea. If it weren't Dali, some people might really mistake it for the seaside.

Compared with the real sea, in addition to the scenery of the sea, there are also scenery that the sea does not have. This is the most unique and charming aspect of Erhai Lake.

Like the ancient town of Shuanglang, Ducai has its own charm and unique scenery, and the leisurely and elegant way of playing can better understand the feelings here. The surrounding islands, large and small, such as Xiao Putuo and other islands, are also very good choices, so I personally think that you can choose to spend at least 3 hours of play time during the colorful tour. If you enjoy a slow life, you can consider a day at your discretion. Yamano-kun just chose to play all day long and dig for color.

Don't you like it here to enjoy the scenery that is not the sea but better than the sea?

Even if it is simply sitting in a corner by the Lake of Dixi Erhai in a daze, it is still an extremely comfortable enjoyment.

The clouds in the distance are on the same line as the lake nearby, giving people a feeling of enlightenment. No wonder Dali Kingdom became China's Buddhist capital. It was all determined by links, right?

Dali ancient city

After returning from the Erhai Lake, I still walked firmly in Dali to soothe my long-standing heart.

When I first arrived here, Dali gave me an impression that it was not as prosperous as Lijiang as others said, but the accumulation of history and traces of time were very obvious. The aura of the emperor and the mark of prosperity of the years are vaguely inspired by the Buddha around him. This is the Dali we encountered.

The ancient city of Dali bears witness to the majestic cultural and historical foundation of the Dali Kingdom in the past! The ancient city of Dali is not as big as the ancient city of Lijiang, but the history and culture it carries is well-known throughout Southeast Asia.

Wuhualou

There is a rice noodle on the left next to this stone pillar in Foreign Street. Don't you recommend it? I think it tastes weird? Shan? I don't know.

I like this feeling of national style. It is very suitable for buying it home to make sofa cushions, tablecloths, etc., all of which are quite unique.

It's oily, ice cold, and I shake my head straight after eating. It'll be better if it's fresh out of the pot

the fourth day

First stop, Dongba Secret Realm

This place is really beautiful, with blue skies, white clouds, and glass plank roads. Snow mountains are also clearly visible. The key is that when I left, I still saw the rainbow. It was so perfect! The key is that there is no need for tickets and no payment for parking!

This large glass suspension bridge is very exciting, I dare not play

Lishui Jinsha Performance

As one of the most must-see large-scale performances, it is held indoors and can accommodate an audience of 5,000 people. This is a performance woven with local characteristics and a large-scale performance with the theme of Lijiang's national culture and historical stories. The plot is rich, the story is complete, and the sense of experience is strong. Coupled with high-tech equipment, accompanied by elements such as dance, acrobatics, stage machinery, panoramic special effects and installation art, it gives people a perfect immersive experience. It is called "a must-see performance in a lifetime" by many people.

Lijiang ancient city

After watching the performance, we started to visit the ancient city. The ancient city of Lijiang is much larger and more prosperous than the ancient city of Dali.

As night falls, the sky becomes blue, and the lights in the ancient city are lit up one by one. Waves of singing came from the bar street, making Lijiang even more charming when the lights were on.

Lijiang at night has become another world, with tourists from all over the world composing different carnival songs.

Sifang Street extends in all directions, and a small alley next to it is covered with colorful oil-paper umbrellas, which is especially romantic at night.

Only at night will you find that there are more tourists in the ancient city of Lijiang than you think.

The roads in the ancient city are all paved with red breccia. As the most popular ancient town, the stone slabs have been polished until they are transparent.

The crowded streets and laughing shops are stacked in every place in Lijiang. Lijiang stories are piled up, which can be silent and carnival.

Lijiang doesn't need to chase the moon at night like a meteor. You just need to slow down and feel the unique charm of the ancient city at night.

There are lanterns selling beside the Dashi Bridge every night. I pass by many times, but I forget to buy them every time.

It only took about 3 minutes to walk back from Dashiqiao Bridge, and he and Xiaohe ran to the roof to take photos of the night scene.

Lion Mountain is even more charming at night. Several songs come from afar, giving Lijiang a fireworks atmosphere at night.

the fifth day

The Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi. It is composed of thirteen continuous snow peaks that look like silver dragons flying, hence the name Yulong Snow Mountain. Its main peak is a steep fan at an altitude of 5596 meters, making it the snowy mountain with the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere.

I have always wondered why the buildings in Lijiang are not tall. A friend in Lijiang told me that it is the habit of Lijiang people to take a look at the snowy mountains every day.

Scientific analysis is that because Lijiang is located in an earthquake zone, there are no tall buildings. However, no matter what, the snowy mountains are of great significance to Lijiang people.

It is often ridiculed as one of the most expensive scenic spots in China, but a trip to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is obviously indispensable.

The Yulong Snow Mountain has a cableway directly to the top of the mountain. This is probably the fastest scenic spot for transportation to the Snow Mountain in China.

However, it should be noted that you need to take a large cableway to reach the top of the mountain. Generally, you have to book tickets in advance and there is a limit on the number of people per day.

In fact, we set off very early and started queuing from the entrance of the scenic area. It was almost lunchtime when we reached the top of the mountain.

It's still off-season. It feels like tourists coming to the ancient city of Lijiang are crowded onto the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It's hard to imagine how congested it will be during holidays.

The cableway entrance is still a few hundred meters away from the highest point of the plank road. From here, you need to walk up the mountain. On the surface, this distance seems gentle.

However, just a few hundred meters is not easy at all. Every step I take makes my heart jump out.

On the snowy mountain at an altitude of 4860 meters, every breath and heartbeat feel so real.

The weather is very important when you come to Yulong Snow Mountain, but today is blue sky and white clouds, and I feel like my character has exploded.

After descending from the Yulong Snow Mountain, the second stop is to the Lanyue Valley. On the way to the middle of the scenic area, we also pass through Yaomuping and Yunshanping. You can choose a stop according to your own time.

When I first heard about Blue Moon Valley, I thought its name was so nice. Because its predecessor was known as the "Baishui River" earlier.

On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley.

Some people say that Blue Moon Valley is a small Jiuzhai. The water here is clear and it really looks like Jiuzhai at a glance.

In the afternoon, the sun shines on the water, making layers of waves, which is particularly beautiful.

Keep moving forward along the plank road. The water is crystal clear, as if you are in a fairyland.

The lake water in the Blue Moon Valley is formed by melting snow. During the flowing process, four large water surfaces are formed due to the obstruction of mountains. They are called "Yuye" Lake,"Jingtan" Lake,"Blue Moon" Lake and "Tingtao" Lake.

Due to the height difference of the terrain, there are many small waterfalls in the scenic area, and the photos are also very good.

Due to time reasons, I didn't go to Chengyunshanping, but I felt very satisfied after seeing the scenery of Lanyue Valley. I strongly recommend coming to Lanyue Valley.

I took a taxi back to the ancient city from the scenic area. The grove on the roadside was well lit, and I took two photos with my friends.

There are still many photo attractions in Lijiang. I will continue to update it when I have time. If you like it, remember to like it and collect it.

Lijiang Story, to be continued...

Return to Kunming Airport on the last day

The days to avoid the traffic can only be a few days

We are the two insignificant people among the thousands of passers-by in Lijiang and Dali

I like Dali best, the Erhai Lake is beautiful with blue and Cangshan mountains

Back in Guangzhou, I didn't resist or say I fled.

Because this is my home.

It is the starting point and the end point

Goodbye and see you again
