Meet Yunnan-Meet a better self

preface

In the blink of an eye, most of 2019 has quietly passed, summer is coming to an end, and autumn is about to start from scratch. Time always flies very quickly. Thinking back on the changes I vowed to make on New Year's Day in 19th, it seems that there have not been much change. So in order to make my year less ordinary and have a little bit of meaning, I decided to take advantage of the National Day holiday to go to Yunnan.

As for why Yunnan, I think it is because this place has given me too many surprises. In my memory, every place has its own characteristics. As soon as we talk, that impression will emerge in your mind and linger. When talking about Xizang, you may think of eagles soaring in the sky, solemn temples, glittering temples under the sun, and lamas wearing big red robes praying piously to Buddha. When talking about Taiwan, you may think of small and fresh buildings, lively crowds in night markets, and delicious street snacks... Yunnan alone is beyond my imagination, because every place has its own characteristics, and the people there are simple and kind, the sky there is blue and clear, and the sun is bright but not hot. The melons and fruits in roadside vendors are bright in color and taste full and juicy. The pace of life there is slow, and even spending an afternoon drinking tea there will not make people feel guilty. Tired of the fast pace of Guangzhou, I decided to go to Yunnan, a place that kept me in my dreams. In September, I booked a ticket from Guangzhou to Yunnan and embarked on this ordinary but extraordinary journey. travel.

Preliminary preparations:

My little girlfriend has a Panasonic camera gf9, charger, power charging treasure, clothes, sunscreen (although it is already October, it is still very sunny there), coat, umbrella (it may also rain). There are also all kinds of beautiful small skirts with concave shapes!! (Bohemian dress!) Medicine (In order to prevent acclimatization, I still brought Baoji Pills, cold medicine, and Band-Aid)

Meet Dayanhua Lane

The first day was a flight at night, and it was already very late to get to Yunnan. Therefore, I didn't take any photos, but it's strange to say that after getting off the plane and stepping into Yunnan, I always feel an inexplicable sense of intimacy. The owner of the inn that day, the very considerate inn owner was afraid that I would be hungry, so he thoughtlessly prepared some snacks for me, as well as Yunnan's specialty snack, flower cakes. I was very happy on the first day I came here and slept soundly.

Before dawn, I started my trip for today-Dayanhua Lane in Lijiang. I think everyone has a different Lijiang in their hearts, and what Lijiang is like in everyone's hearts is also related to everyone's mentality and mood.

Some people may think that Lijiang is seriously commercialized, but I think Lijiang is one of the few places where I have decided to stay in the ancient town for a few months or even half a year. I like the slow pace and leisurely pace here. I can meet interesting people everywhere and eat delicious food everywhere.

On the basis of inheriting local traditions and authentic culture, Dayanhua Lane builds a bridge of communication between the ancient Dongba culture and modern people, removes the noisy, noisy and chaotic commercial phenomena in the ancient city, and integrates pure traditional Naxi crafts, food, singing and dancing, etiquette, tea ceremony, jade culture, etc. into the theme town, integrated management, with tourists 'experience as the core, and in-depth cultural experience tourism services are created. Walking to the street of Huaxiang, the wind blew across my face, but I felt very comfortable and at ease.

I don't know why, but on the first day I came to Yunnan, I missed the local food crazily. I want to eat sour soup beef with delicious meat, sour and spicy meat, as well as local hot pot, paired with a variety of snacks, which makes people mouth watering ~ So on the first day I came to Yunnan, I opened a review software online and found the Mapang cuisine restaurant.

This store should be a famous Internet celebrity store. It will be ranked at six o'clock, but fortunately it came early and didn't wait long. I was amazed when I first came in. I couldn't help but be surprised. It was indeed Yunnan. It was ancient and it felt like I had traveled through thousands of years to come here.

At night, I came to the folk square with the crowd. I once thought that traveling means stopping and stopping by one person, and you may meet different people and different souls along the way. You may have traveled a distance together and then separated and went to different places. But it doesn't matter. When I come to Lijiang, I take advantage of the night to find a favorite bar, listen to a few folk songs, and wash away the fatigue of the journey. This is what travel means. It is always fate to meet each other.

The beautiful sky Labu Sea

I heard it late last night in the folk square, so I gave myself a vacation on the third day and slept until I woke up naturally before getting up. Because the inn is located near Dayanhua Lane, I woke up and asked the innkeeper what delicious food was nearby. He recommended Lao Wang's house next door to me, and I checked the reviews online, so I went.

This store makes me feel that the service is in place, novel and interesting. You will be given a small hourglass to check the time. And his food is delicious and beautiful! There are also many people taking photos and checking in!

After eating, I, I took a bus to Labu Hai. Shihai is located in the middle of Lashiba, 10 kilometers west of Lijiang City. It is the first nature reserve named after "wetland" in Yunnan Province and is adjacent to the colorful rose base.

"Lashi" is the ancient Naxi translation,"La" means barren dam, and "Shi" means new, meaning new barren dam. This place is also one of the reasons why I want to come to Lijiang. I have been here before, but that time due to time constraints, I just took a quick look and didn't take a closer look.

The Lashi Sea has beautiful mountains and waters, especially the beautiful spring. The water is as green as flawless jade, and the bottom of the pool more than 6 meters deep can be seen. The forest here is dense, the flowers and plants are prosperous, and it is quiet and beautiful.

There is also a beautiful lake, but this time I still feel that I have not prepared time and should have prepared more time to go. Fortunately, I had a great time. I ate the special grilled fish there for dinner before leaving. I still want to eat it again.

Laojun Mountain, the magic craftsmanship of nature

On the fourth day, I made an appointment for an afternoon bus to leave Lijiang. Taking advantage of the fact that there was still a little time in the morning, I set off early for Laojun Mountain. My first impression of Laojun Mountain was that it was high. The fog in the morning gave me a solemn and solemn feeling. There were many strange rocks in the mountain, which was quite interesting. I even took photos and passed them on to my parents.

I heard that in 2016, Jiang Jinfu and Cheng Yanqiu starred in the TV series "Adventure in Finding Love", which was also filmed there. I like this place very much, and I will definitely come with my parents next time I come back.

Dream of Shangri-La

When I first traveled to Yunnan, I couldn't get to Shangri-La due to schedule problems, so I finally arranged Shangri-La this time. It was already evening when I arrived, and I chose to stay at the Fifth Meteorite Hotel. As for why he chose this hotel, he was only attracted by his name at first. It seemed that there was a charming story behind the hotel.

The hotel is located in the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La, with an excellent location! And every house has the characteristics of a local minority! So I finally chose to stay at this hotel. I had a good experience and the staff were super friendly.

After getting up early smelling the fresh air of the ancient city, I have to praise the breakfast at the Fifth Meteorite Hotel. The variety is very rich and delicious!! I really love this restaurant.

After breakfast, I came to the ancient city of Dukezong. The ancient city of Dukezong is known as the City of Moonlight. It was built according to the Utopia of Shambhala in the Buddhist scriptures. It is said that this is still the place where the caravan used to do business, and the deep horseshoe marks printed on the stone road are the mark of that time.

Walking on this road is like being more than a thousand years ago and experiencing the local humanity. The intangible cultural heritage experience of the ancient city of Dukezong also deeply impressed me. There are not only flower alleys, but also performance shows. After watching it, you can feel the wisdom of mankind more than a thousand years ago. Unconsciously, it took a day to visit the ancient city of Dukezong. such

I came back to my senses. It was almost seven o'clock in the evening. So after eating nearby, I returned to the hotel. I have to say that it was really pleasant to come back to the hotel after a long day of shopping and I was exhausted.

Napahai Grassland

In the blink of an eye, the last day arrived. I booked a ticket to go home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, so I took advantage of the fact that I still had some time in the morning to go to the Napahai Grassland. This should be my last stop in Yunnan. I have to go back in the afternoon. I really can't bear to think about it.

The Napahai Grassland was established in 1984. It is a seasonal lake. It is lush and lush at a glance. Here, it seems that the sky and the grassland are very close, and it seems that you can reach out and touch the sky. Looking at the sky, my soul was also touched.

This is my schedule for the past few days. I have had a great time these days. I will come again in Yunnan when I have the opportunity.

Do it again.
