Ten years later, I came to Lijiang again because of Songzan; seven years later, I traveled alone again because of Mr. Zhang's understanding,"Go by yourself and relax."

I left at 6 a.m. and drove to Lijiang City. I was still on my way until I turned into a small village and arrived at Songzan. I saw the familiar furnishings, the waiter served hot tea and handmade highland barley biscuits, and brought cloth shoes to change on... I suddenly felt at ease. I said,"I'm home." With Songzan, the places I will go are hometowns I have never met before.

DAY 1

After checking in, I threw my backpack into the room. I had not eaten the plane meal, and I was already hungry. I couldn't wait to rush to the restaurant. After eating a small bowl of rice noodles, I felt comfortable. It warmed my heart and stomach, and the tableware shone brightly in the light.

After eating a lot, I walked around the hotel, and there was a scene every time I turned around and every corner. Cultural relics collected by the founder Bai Mago and the "picture frames" outlined by the building itself can be seen everywhere. I went back to my room and took out the tea set and brewed Teacher Shi's tea. This time, it was finally appropriate.

[Ciman Village]

The location of every Songzan site is unique, and Lijiang is no exception. It is located in Ciman Village, which few people visit.

In the blink of an eye, I climbed high and photographed the warm golden sun, leaving a mark between the corners of my clothes.

Dinner is for one person: pork ribs and dried begonia, copper pot and stone ground tofu. Dried crabapple is dried crabapple fruit. The crisp and tender pork ribs are sweet with fruit, making it refreshing and delicious; the hotel's own stone-ground tofu has a delicate Q bullet when bitten.

When I returned to my room, the turndown was open, and there was a thermos cup with the hotel logo on the table. When I opened it, I saw that it was completely hot milk. Think back, in your past, the person who once put a cup of hot milk or water by your bedside... Suddenly, the winter ended and the stars grew bright.

P.S. Early the next morning, I learned that it was not an ordinary cup of milk, but that it was freshly brewed that day. No wonder there is a milk skin floating on the surface that was only visible when I was a child.

DAY2

Morning! Lijiang. Smoke curled from the kitchen in Ciman Village connected with the morning light pouring through the clouds.

"I was selling the sunrise, and you generously sprinkled the light on me like a god, and the world was lit up from then on. Later, I realized that it was the light in my eyes, but so what? I admire you, not the way you shine."

[Jingang Haimu Spirit Cave]

The mountainside cave near the top of Wenbi Mountain was identified by the Eighth Karmapa Mijue Dorje. It is one of the twenty-four sacred places in Nanzhan Buzhou. It is praised by the world-famous Eighth Great Minister of Taipan Zhida Keji Jiong as the first spiritual cave in Nanzhan Buzhou.

In front of the cave is a retreat meditation center founded by the 14th Dongbao Zhongba Living Buddha. There are many legends and many celebrities here. It is the highest meditation academy for Tibetan Buddhism in northwest Yunnan.

Looking down the mountain, you can see Wenfeng Temple halfway up the mountain and Wenbi Sea at the foot of the mountain.

I came stepping on the light of the stars and slowly walked towards you... Candlelight lights lit the dusk in my eyes.

[Mountain villages and fields]

Driving through the mountains, looking out of the window at the autumn scenery, the mountains are soaked. Stay in the fields and villages, enjoy the joy of a bumper harvest with heavy ears of wheat, watery radishes, and mountains of potatoes.

Climbing the slopes of nearby villages, the abundant vegetation makes people happy.

[Wenbi Mountain]

The rain and snow in Jingang Haimuling Cave on the top of the mountain, the sunshine among the farmland on the mountainside, and the clouds in the mountains are dense. This is the half day and four seasons in Wenbi Mountain. The sunshine comes suddenly, like the light that stayed on the face of the face when the world was first created, like a shining veil, unrealistically beautiful. The mountains covered with dark clouds turned into sunshine in about ten minutes.

DAY3

Traveling alone, today the hotel is also my own.

Enjoy breakfast under the warm sun, and make video calls with Yue and Yue's sister in Canada. They showed the two children the snowy mountains outside the window and the white walls and black tiles in the village. They imagined in their minds that when my sister returned to China, our sisters would take their sisters to sing songs together. Picture of the tour.

Every Songzan has a sunny resting area where you can sleep in for a whole day. In the past, I used to make tea and chat with the guys. On this trip, I spent a short silence and a long time meaningless, spending the exquisite but unaging universe together.

[White Sand Murals]

It has a history of 500 years, and its drawing lasted for more than 300 years from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. Preserved in the Liuli Hall and Dabaoji Palace buildings, standing in front of the murals of the ancients with wonderful brushstrokes and flowers, they are imbued with history..."In this life, people must see all living beings, see heaven and earth, and see themselves."

[Baisha Ancient Town]

Yijin Ancient Town: The ancient capital of the Naxi people, the world-class "Ancient Naxi Kingdom", and the birthplace of the Mu's Tusi family. Baisha Ancient Town has existed for more than 800 years, and it still retains the legacy of Naxi. There is no noise, no drunkenness, and it gives people a sense of tranquility. Everything maintains the simplicity and tranquility that the Naxi ancient town should have.

Erjin Ancient Town: No matter where you are, Life is full of little wonder.

I suddenly want to ask you something about winter. For example, do flowers still bloom in winter, add thick clothes when the weather is cold, can I take advantage of autumn to like you?

Sanjin Ancient Town: The ground paved with stone slabs, the mahogany houses with blue bricks and black tiles, and the locust trees on the roadside are memories of the past.

For the third time, I finally ate Naxi grilled fish. The day before yesterday, there were no fish; yesterday, the door was closed. I still remember the first time I came here, I heard my mother-in-law humming a song and cooking rice, and I thought to myself: The taste must be good. Sure enough, I have tried other rice pots and found that her house is the best. It is refreshing and non-greasy, and the dipping ingredients are a unique one.

During my four days in Lijiang, no matter where I went in the morning, I would come over for dinner, and then I would listen to songs, bask in the sun, and read books in the cafe... The shops and streets that we used to happily shuttle through, the neon lights that shone all night long, and the giant TV were all reduced to a model and placed in a corner. At this time, you only need to shine wantonly, lean against the seat near the window, and quietly read a few pages of books.

DAY4

Morning ! The sunrise at 7:10 in the morning

The soul always longs for freedom, sometimes far away, sometimes near, sometimes in a foreign land. This is a process of running away, talking to yourself in a short period of time, and meeting your real yourself in the gap of time.

[Yuhu Village]

A village called "Wuluken" means a village at the foot of a snowy mountain. In 1922, Joseph Locke lived under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for 27 years as an explorer, writer, and photographer for National Geographic Magazine and Harvard University, and lived here most of his time.

Houses built of stone and horse-caravan villages are the characteristics. The snowy mountains are close at hand and can be seen when you look up. The village on the slope was still panting all the way. When I looked at the actual altitude, it was 2740 meters.

[Shangyi Village Farmers 'Market]

The vegetable market that only local villagers visit is the place with the most smell of fireworks in the world. The rhythm and life of the entire city are displayed here without pretence.

Watching raw chickens and ducks, fresh melons and vegetables, sweet potatoes, dandelions, and cauliflower, it is lively and crowded, and I feel the joy of life; discuss ingredients I have never seen before with the villagers, chat and joke, and feel the joy of living. The "steaming heat" of life is nowhere else but here.

DAY5

Bye Lijiang ! "In the middle of winter, I finally knew that I had an invincible summer in me. -- Camus "
