Every time I come to Lijiang, I will live in Dayan Ancient City. In addition to its reputation as one of the four major ancient cities in the country,
It is also because of the extremely cost-effective inn accommodation here and I like to stay in Naxi style courtyards.
Living in the second floor of the wooden attic, relying on the balcony to watch the scenery of the courtyard,
As if you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city in an instant, at this moment,
There is always the artistic conception of "forming a house in the human realm without the noise of horses and horses".
No matter how many times you come to Lijiang, you still have to visit Dayan Ancient City.
The lights have faded, but this is just an ancient village with a history of thousands of years.
Crossing the ancient city
For 99 yuan, I can actually take a photo shoot in ancient costumes in the ancient city.
I chose Zixia Fairy's costumes for the drama, a simple ponytail and a long skirt.
Through thousands of years of historical years in an instant, it feels like arriving at the ancient city of Lijiang thousands of years ago.
There are many niche attractions hidden at the north gate closest to Dayan Ancient City.
Perhaps it is something that tourists who come to Lijiang for the first time have no time to take into account
During the epidemic, Black Dragon Pool Park was open to the public for free. This was also the first time I visited Black Dragon Pool.
Black Dragon Pool Park in Lijiang was built in the second year of Qianlong and was called Yuquan Dragon King Temple in ancient times. Guo Moruo's poem chanted,"The Dragon Pool reflects the thirteen peaks,
Hidden dragons are in the sky, flying dragons are on the earth; jade water stretches for half a mile, ink jade is the body, and gray jade is the god."
A couplet vividly depicts the Black Dragon Pool scene.
The pool of clear spring is clear and blue. Under the sunlight, it looks like a shining gem, revealing detailed texture.
The pool reflects the water pavilions and mountain peaks, step by step, and everywhere are scenes in the mirror and paintings in the water.
In the distance is the Yulong Snow Mountain. There is no cloud in the clear winter. The clear outline of the Yulong Snow Mountain reflects the pool and pool.
The snow on the top of the mountain is vast.
There is a creative art park hidden among the mountains and forests of Yushui Street, Ancient City in the center of Lijiang.
It is called the Red Valley Slope Art District. The entire art park is built on the slope.
Only by winding up the mountain road can you discover this art park hidden deep in the mountains.
Honggu Slope Art District is located in the north of Dayan Ancient City,
It is a music and handicraft dual industry chain park that integrates ancient residential buildings, music art, creative handicrafts, and public gardening landscapes.
It also has the functions of art incubation, creative exhibitions, and natural landscape tours. It is an emerging art resort in Lijiang.
Relying on 88 grams of rare ancient trees and natural forest landscapes, Honggu Slope Park has created an art park located on Lijiang's most beautiful scenic belt.
In terms of music, there is Lijiang's first professional-level livehouse scene with a thousand-person level, which can accommodate thousands of people to celebrate.
It faces the Black Dragon Pool, overlooking the Yulong Snow Mountain, and deep in the forest with towering ancient trees, enjoy the most beautiful atmosphere brought by nature and music.

People often regard Dayan Ancient Town as the ancient city of Lijiang by default, but they don't know where the real source of Lijiang Ancient Town is.
Located 10 kilometers north of Lijiang, there is an ancient Naxi town that retains its original flavor.
It is not only an important birthplace of Naxi culture, but also the origin of Lijiang ancient town.
Baisha Ancient Town is located at the foot of Yulong Mountain. The history of Baisha dates back to the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago.
The Mu regime in Lijiang originated here and established Baisha Street, which became the political, cultural, and commercial center of the Naxi people at that time.
Introducing the mountain springs from the Yulong Snow Mountain into the village has improved the living environment of the village and also promoted the commercial development of Baisha.
At that time, the ancient town's handmade trade was already very developed, mainly focusing on copper making and textile embroidery.
It was not until the late liberation that these handicrafts gradually disappeared.
Wearing traditional Naxi costumes, local elderly people squatted under the city wall in the early morning sun and sold fresh vegetables.
A few small stalls hawking steaming breakfast, and the atmosphere of Naxi life permeated the atmosphere...

People say that if you want to know what Dayan Ancient Town looked like ten years ago, come to Shuhe!
Few friends know that the sequel to our favorite meal drama "My Own Swordsman","Longmen Escort Agency"
It was filmed in the ancient town of Shuhe. The play depicts a small town in Yunnan far from the secular world
A 20-minute drive north along Dayan Ancient City leads you to Shuhe.
Shuhe has eight well-known scenic spots
The smoke willows level the bridge, the willow leaves cover, and the bridge is flat and the water is flowing. The green buds of the world in early spring seem to spread to the bridge.
The fireflies in the night market, the torches in the village, and the lights in the ancient town are dotted with stars, making the Shuhe Night Market shine brightly.
The sound of breaking the stele will break, and the stele by the lake will break. If you knock it with a stone, it will make a crisp sound.
There are red leaves in the West Mountain, and there are many lacquer trees on the West Mountain of Shuhe River. Every autumn, the leaves turn red, expressing a strong lovesickness.
Fish and water relatives. It is said that there are gods with fish in Jiulong Lake. People feed the fish, and the fish will get close to and play with the people.
Longmen Moon. Qinglong Bridge has a history of more than 400 years. The central axis is facing Jubao Mountain, and the inherent Longmen Moon.
Reflected by the snowy mountains, ancient trees on both sides of Longquan Mountain, Jiulong Lake, the lake water is crystal clear, and the Yulong Snow Mountain is reflected in it.
Shilian studied at night, and Shilian Mountain went to Shilian Temple. During the Republic of China, schools were opened, and students Shi Lian studied at night.

Wenhai Village is located in Baisha Township, Yulong County, Lijiang City, Yunnan Province, opposite Baisha Ancient Town across the mountain. There are only nearly 200 households here, and a population of less than 1000 live on a vast land of more than 3300 hectares.
The road to Wenhai Village is a whole mountain road. Before the Panshan Highway was built in 2012,
There is no direct lane to Wenhai Village here, so Wenhai Village has become a secret and unpolluted paradise.
It was only in recent years that it was gradually discovered by travel friends and self-driving people. After climbing a mountain, it takes a 30-minute drive to Wenhai Village.
A large blue ocean and greenish grassland can be vaguely seen from the downhill of the winding mountain road, and villages are concentrated in the flat area on the bank of the lake. The land resources here are not ideal enough. Local residents make a living by animal husbandry, and herds of cattle and horses are grazing on the grassland!
The village is full of short farmhouses, which can be seen as houses built by yourself.
There is a clear lake that nourishes a small number of village households. The families in the village are all relatives and friends.
The neighbors are close and we live a leisurely life at the sunrise.

From May to October, especially in summer, the grassland is lush and flowers are everywhere. The blue lake covers a wider area during the wet season.
There is also a Fuguo Temple on the back mountain of Baisha Ancient Town, which is also an ancient temple that Xu Xiake once visited.
Fuguo Temple is the mother temple of the five major temples in Lijiang. It is also the first Tibetan temple in Lijiang and the largest Kama Kaju Temple in Yunnan.
Fuguo Temple was built in the 29th year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. It was damaged by military fire during the Jiazi Year of Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty in 1864 and was rebuilt in the 8th year of Guangxu.
Later, after experiencing wind and rain, the entire building was almost destroyed until it was renovated in 2009.
By 2015, the new temple was completed at its original site, which is the Fuguo Temple we see today.

The Da Jinta Temple stands on top of Snake Mountain in the Urban area of Lijiang, facing the Yulong Snow Mountain from a distance, giving you a panoramic view of the magnificent scenery.
According to legend, the Dajinta Temple in Lijiang was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of thousands of years after reconstruction in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Today's Shwedagon Pagoda Temple is even more glorious with continuous repairs.
The temple covers an area of 109 acres and has a gold-plated Maitreya Buddha statue, Guanyin Hall, Thousand Buddhas and Ten Thousand Lantern Hall, and Ashoka Pillar
The main hall of the Golden Pagoda of the God of Wealth Hall constitutes the Shunda Pagoda Scenic Area.
Climbing the Snake Mountain and looking into the beautiful and majestic Yulong Snow Mountain, the magnificent mountains and rivers of Lijiang's alpine and snowy areas are dazzling.
The five-color prayer flags hanging in the temple present an exotic style. Tibetan Buddhism is characterized by pagodas with golden roofs, small towers surrounding large towers,
Gilded gold is a highlight of Tibetan Buddhist temple architecture.

Go down Jinta Temple and visit Dewei Village, an ancient Naxi village,
In Dongbazi, Lijiang, there is a building dominated by Naxi people in Dongyuan Community, Jinshan Township,
Integrate ancient villages inhabited by ethnic minorities such as Bai and Yi. The village is located next to Li Road in Jinshan Township.
A standing archway at the entrance of the village indicates that tourists have entered Dewei Village.
The residents in the village mainly focus on planting, mainly producing corn, wheat and other crops. During autumn and winter,
The farmers 'homes are already filled with golden corn cobs, giving a harvest scene.
Most of the traditional houses of the Naxi people are in the form of three squares and one illuminated wall. Most of the main houses are two-story brick and wood buildings.
There are bungalows on both sides, and there is a light wall directly opposite it. The layout is four-in-five patios. The design of one entrance and two houses is clear and the layout is harmonious.

Lugu Lake is nearly a 4-hour mountain drive from the Ancient City of Lijiang, so the most convenient way to travel is to charter a car.
If you want to save money, you can carpool around 150 yuan for a person to round trip, and a full day's trip, including lunch.
Personally, I don't recommend it very much. Lugu Lake is a fairyland where gods and immortals live. It's really worth slowing down.
Stay for one night on the shores of Lugu Lake and experience the comfortable slow life.
At the junction of Sichuan Province and Yunnan Province, there is a plateau fault lake called Lukuhaizi.
This plateau and lake land spans two provinces and is picturesque, just like Penglai Fairy Island. The people living on the island are basically Mosuo people.
The Mosuo people in Yunnan Province are considered to be a branch of the Naxi people in Yunnan, while the Mosuo people in Sichuan Province are considered to be Mongolian.
The Mosuo people do not belong to one of the 56 ethnic groups. There are a large number of ethnic minorities in Lugu Lake: Mosuo, Yi and Pumi.
After going all the way from Lijiang through the eighteen bends of the Jinsha River, we finally arrived at Lugu Lake after a bumpy four-hour journey. There are 5 islands, 4 peninsulas, and 14 bays in Lugu Lake. The Gemu Goddess Mountain stands on the lake with an altitude of 3754 meters. It is the highest peak among the mountains surrounding Lugu Lake.
Two thirds of the lake area of Lugu Lake belongs to Sichuan Province. Lugu Lake is divided into two, with the east under the jurisdiction of Yunnan and the west under the jurisdiction of Sichuan. Taking Yanyuan County in Sichuan and Ninglang County in Yunnan as the dividing line, one side is the settlement of the Mosuo people of the Naxi nationality, and the other side is the settlement of the Mosuo people of the Mongolian nationality in Sichuan. The Mosuo people are a matriarchal society and are also known as the real version of the country of daughters.
Tickets: 70 yuan
Transportation: Self-driving or chartered cars, group tours
Only when I came to Lugu Lake did I realize that the Mosuo people have a mysterious tradition of walking marriage. In the ancient Mosuo tradition, there is no legal,
A stable marriage. Men and women rely on a model of walking marriage to maintain relationships and have children.
Walking marriage means that men and women are not married. People are very curious about how the Mosuo people without marriage spread their branches and raised their descendants.
This stems from the matriarchal social roots of the Mosuo people, a nation in which women dominate.
There is a famous scenic spot on Lugu Lake that is the Walking Wedding Bridge. In the past, men and women dated on the Walking Wedding Bridge.
Men and women who like each other can make an appointment during the day and meet at night at Hualou.
The flower building is a room prepared by the women's secondary school for adult women. It is used for women to date the man they like.
Men need to enter through windows in the middle of the night and leave before dawn. Although this model of walking marriage is generally accepted by the clansmen,
But in form, it looks like an underground love affair. If the relationship between the two parties breaks down, they can end the married relationship at any time and start a new relationship.
Tickets: Included in the Lugu Lake Grand Ticket
Transportation: Self-driving
Looking for the source of Lugu Lake. It is said that the source of Lugu Lake is called Luyuan Cliff. Take a pig trough boat from the village dock,
Walking towards the cliffs and cliffs, you will encounter the clear lake water along the way. The waves are sparkling under the winter sun,
Luyuanya is the source of Lugu Lake and the outlet of groundwater. The water depth can reach more than 90 meters.
Standing among the jagged piles of rocks, under the cliffs, looking at the view of Lugu Lake, the village in the distance becomes a picture scroll.
The five-color fluttering prayer flags and the Mani Dui built of small stones are the religious and humanistic impressions of this mysterious plateau lake.
It is a trace of the blending of mankind and nature over time.
In Lugu Lake, Yunnan, a kind of canoe that once lived with the Mosuo people was called pig trough boat.
This is a simple wooden boat obtained by using local materials and hollowing out large round logs. The hull is slender and has a T shape at both ends.
The pig trough boat is named because it looks like a pig trough.
Zhucao boats have a long history and have been the link between the Mosuo people and Lugu Lake since ancient times.
Whether traveling or fishing, we rely on this canoe. A small boat can seat 7 or 8 people.
Now it has become a sightseeing tool for tourists to boat on Lugu Lake.
Take a local pig trough boat to find the source of Lugu Lake.
The red-billed seagulls that came from afar for the winter accompanied them all the way, and the bread and snacks fed by tourists on the boat made the seagulls reluctant to leave for a long time.
Sometimes chasing closely, sometimes circling over the wooden boat,
Or rush by at high speed to snatch food from tourists. Both sides of the wooden boat seemed to be surrounded by swimming seagulls,
Inadvertently spreading its wings, flying into the sky and rapidly diving into the water, the winter temperature of Lugu Lake is still as warm as spring for seagulls.

In the mountainous areas of southwest China, you can actually see the blue sea and the sky,
Lovers Beach is located in the west of Lugu Lake, at the foot of Gemu Goddess Mountain and Houlong Mountain.
Legend has it that the goddess Gum and the queen dragon were once lovers, but they offended the gods and
They were cast into two sacred mountains of Lugu Lake. From then on, the lovers were like a cowherd and a weaver girl.
We can only meet once at Valentine's Beach on July 15th every year. Mythical stories have been sung for thousands of years,
It has been passed down to this day that this beach between Gum Goddess Mountain and Houlong Mountain is known as Lovers Beach.
It is a symbol of love that will never part until death.
There is also a legend that the lover tree that grows on Valentine's Beach always grows in pairs.
There is no independent tree to be seen in the main bay. This pair of scenes makes people feel happy.
Nowadays, when you come to Valentine's Beach, you can see enough pairs of protected Valentine trees. They just snuggle together,
She is very like a lover who is in her late years but still supports each other.
Along the coast are pairs of lover trees, a declaration of loyalty and love,
"If I love you, I will stand with you as a tree. Roots, clenched in the ground;
The leaves touch each other in the clouds." This is probably the most beautiful description of the lover tree.

The entire Ligg Peninsula is floating in Lugu Lake, with only one straight path connecting the land.
Through this 2-meter-wide path, villagers on the island can travel between the land and the peninsula.
The floating peninsula is called Ligg Peninsula, which is a seawall connected to the island. The small lake formed by the peninsula is called Ligg Bay.
The island faces water on three sides in the southeast and west, and leads to land in the north. The whole island is like Penglai Fairy Island, sleeping in the cradle of Lugu Lake.
Regarding Lijiang's specialties, I recommend Zhongyi Market. This is the largest local market at the entrance of Dayan Ancient City.
The snack street of Zhongyi Market sells local snacks. Baked potatoes, roasted chicken bean flour, Lijiang cake, jelly, rice cake...
The fried chicken flour is crispy on the outside and looks like a jelly Q-bomb on the inside. It tastes refreshing.
It has a unique taste when paired with local chili powder and seasonings.
When you come to Zhongyi Market, you must not miss these authentic snacks that cost about 10 yuan per person.
The best thing is the seasonality of Zhongyi Market. Every season, there will be fresh fruits and specialties of the season.
The price of fruits in the season here is 10 yuan and three kilograms.
The dry goods market sells a large number of medicinal materials and dry goods, and the specialty area gathers various precious medicinal materials, snacks, dairy products, etc. from Yunnan.
Specialties such as Black Maca, Gastrodia, Tianqi and other specialties can be supplied in large quantities here.
The trip to Lijiang seems to have no end, and there are always many regrets that I didn't come to Lugu Lake during the season when the aquatic poplar blossoms are in bloom.
I didn't eat pig rice in a Naxi village, nor did I watch the sunrise in Lion Mountain.
Perhaps the regret is waiting for the next encounter. The trip to Lijiang is always on the road.
Snow mountains, cherry blossoms, ancient cities, canyons, and Penglai Fairy Islands are not enough to depict Lijiang...
