Hello everyone, I am Wang Yunxi Wenciy,(DY has the same name) This is the first travel article I wrote. I hope you will read it in the future and it will be helpful to your travel. You can also come to me for advice if you have any questions about travel.^ ^

Before the National Day, I planned a trip before the holidays. The destinations were Lijiang and Shangri-La for 5 days and 4 nights.

I transferred from Nanjing to Nanchang and then went to Lijiang. It happened that my friend in Nanchang was on the same plane as me. I finally didn't have to be alone anymore. It felt so good ~

I think most people, like me, are full of curiosity and longing for Lijiang, not only because of her mysterious or ambiguous label, but more importantly, the historical heritage she truly reveals and the unique humanities that meet multiple ethnic groups have always attracted me. So, today let us lift this mysterious veil and see the style of the romantic capital.

First stop, Lijiang, Dayan Ancient City-Dayan Hua Lane

Since the first stop is Lijiang, the ancient city of Lijiang must be a must-see attraction. In order to facilitate visiting the ancient city, I directly booked a B & B in the ancient city. It is extremely cost-effective and has a large room, which saves a lot of expenses. My friends praised me for being a smart kid, haha ~

I made a reservation online, and the inn owner specially called a car to pick us up, saving us the trouble of taking the bus ~ Like the boss ~

Almost all B & Bs in the ancient city are mainly made of wooden structures, and they are generally two-story. Because the wooden structure floors are too high and load-bearing, it is a problem to see buildings with more than three floors. We simply packed up in the room, left behind our heavy luggage, traveled lightly, and felt at ease ~ Let's go shopping!

On the way to the restaurant, I walked into Dayanhua Lane. This hardworking waiter was quite realistic

Walking along the alley, you will find colorful flowers everywhere, bright and eye-catching. Is this the origin of the flower alleys?

I have always wanted to try horse-band cuisine. I am very curious about what flavor these men on horseback can bring to Yunnan. So when we arrived in Yunnan, the first thing we had to do was experience the local food culture. The first stop we went straight to the Meet the Horse Gang Cuisine Restaurant in Dayanhua Lane and ordered a table of good dishes to comfort my hungry stomach.

I ordered the dishes and observed this restaurant carefully. The decoration is simple and has a bit of a Jianghu style. It can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into the decoration and furnishings that can be seen everywhere.

The restaurant is located on the second floor. When you open the window, you will find the street of Yanweifang downstairs. Relying on the window, you will have a nice scenery.

There are quite a variety of dishes, because I heard that the portions are very large, so we didn't order much. The average person was around 80 to eat until we ate them. The preserved pork ribs hot pot and Naxi grilled fish are particularly recommended.

When they were full of wine and food, a group of people strolled comfortably along the streets of Dayanhua Lane. As they strolled, they arrived at the best place to check in in the ancient city. The Eye of Lijiang Observation Deck, where they stepped onto the stage and looked into the distance, and they could have a panoramic view of the ancient city. Downstairs is the folk custom square, and there are performances in the evening, which must not be missed.

Lijiang, which is raining, is very cold. Although it is shivering from the cold, it is still in high spirits. Who asked this to be the place I dream of ~

Shifting and walking, the group of people talked and laughed, and saw many beautiful scenery. People dressed in different clothes, and the ancient city of Lijiang, which was full of flowers, was beautiful and beautiful.

Unconsciously, night fell, and we returned to the folk square. At this time, the performance in the square had already begun. A band named Unzippered was performing hard, finding a seat, ordering a table of beer, and delivering fruit plates and snacks. Listen quietly.

It is said that Lijiang is a place to pursue dreams, but in fact, it is not. Some people sing and dance in the cold wind just for a chance to prove themselves. Some people listen to songs and sit alone in the night, with a lot of worry. Some people like to be lively, some people like to be quiet. Lijiang's various shapes are only known to those who have been there.

If you are happy in life, you must enjoy it all. Don't leave a golden bottle empty against the moon. A table of wine and a group of friends. It is rare to indulge. It is a beautiful thing to be drunk in the night of Lijiang.

The next day, we got up early. Today, we were going to Lashihai Wetland Park and went to the snack street to taste the local specialty breakfast. It was really dazzling and varied. After eating, we set off!

Lashihai Scenic Area is located in the middle of Lashiba, 10 kilometers west of Lijiang County. The lake surface is 2437 meters above sea level. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters and a beautiful natural environment. It is a habitat for migratory birds. Tickets are about 30.

The park is very large and is built against the Napa Sea. Walking on the plank road, looking at the lake and the mountains in the distance, layers of clouds and mist float out of the mountains and reflect in the water. From a distance, it seems to be an understatement. Ink painting, this is not where immortals live, right?

In this peaceful and beautiful environment, there is an artificial landscaping platform. Internet celebrities check in and the sky. You can bring your own elegant big skirt to leave a beautiful reflection on the sky. You can also rent a set from your boss. Hanfu, rent 50 yuan and take photos 50 yuan. As for the effect, you can refer to the picture below.

After taking photos and enjoying the scenery of the lakes and mountains, I slowly stepped out of the scenic area. I was hungry. I took a taxi back to the ancient city. The transportation here is very convenient. You can use the online ride-hailing APP to call it, or you can chat with tourists from all over the world at the door. We can get to the ancient city in about 20 minutes for ten yuan each.

For dinner, we chose Lao Wang's Restaurant next door, located at the south gate of the ancient city. This restaurant is decorated in a modern and elegant manner, full of petty bourgeoisie, and the seats are not crowded. The restaurant is located on the square. The location is very good. You can see this big archway in the restaurant.

The waiter was more enthusiastic than I expected and recommended special dishes to us. My favorite thing was their tofu. It is said that it was ground with beans myself. It is tender and delicious. Overall, the dining feeling was great. We had less than 100 per person. Worth recommending ~

After the meal, it was the evening when we could walk and stroll. We walked through the bustling Sifang Street, walked past the quietly standing Guanmen Gate, stopped at the gate of Mufu, watched the water and grass dancing under the small bridge, and watched the wishes of tourists on the swing at the entrance of Dengkefang

The ancient city is really big, and time passes very slowly. It seems that there is never an end, and I don't want to go to the end. No wonder so many people have come to Lijiang but don't want to go. What a coincidence, so do I.

On the early morning of the third day, we were awakened by the sun and arrived at the Dashuanshui Car, which coincided with the Agricultural and Sideline Products Harvest Festival. We tasted many local specialties and fresh fruits, especially snow peaches and pomegranates, which tasted amazing. We enjoyed the ethnic singing and dancing, and also took photos with the beautiful little sister. The experience was very good.

At 9 a.m., after watching the grand harvest festival, we took the car we had made an appointment in the morning to Laojun Mountain Liming Danxia Landform Scenic Area, a three-hour drive.

There are many theories about the cause of the Danxia landform here. Legend has it that the brilliance of the sun here reflects the streams, the mountains, and the blue sky red; some people say that the Taishang Laojun once refined pills here, and the surging and indestructible flames spread to a mottled rock, and meteorites burning in the sky fell here one after another, thus creating this red-red cliff, giving rise to Laojun Mountain its name.

In fact, due to itinerary problems, the time reserved here was very tight. I took the cable car up, took some photos, and then came back on the cable car. I originally planned to stay in the scenic area for one night and made a soak in the soup, with a lot of regrets. We took a ride back to the ancient city again. Next time, I hope we will have the opportunity to appreciate the amazing craftsmanship of nature next time.

Back at the inn, I heard that the scenery on the observation deck was good, so I went up to take a nap for a while. Unexpectedly, I received an unexpected beautiful scenery. It really fulfilled the saying that the ancient city of Lijiang is full of scenery, and everywhere, and you can take different pictures. The same charm.

A time-lapse photo for you. I hope you will like this ancient city of Lijiang

In the evening, the group reluctantly boarded the bus to Shangri-La. They still recalled the innkeeper's advice and help to us over the past two days. They suddenly felt warm. Lijiang is so good. Goodbye.

After getting on the bus to Shangri-La, I listened to the song and enjoyed the scenery outside the window

Second stop, Shangri-La, Dukezong Ancient City-Dukezong Flower Lane

After going through several eighteen turns on the mountain road, passing through the Tiger Leaping Gorge, and climbing all the way to an altitude of 3300 meters. After a difficult 4 hours, we finally arrived at Shangri-La, one of the pilgrimage places in my heart.

It was already past 9 o'clock in the evening when I arrived at my destination, Dukezonghua Lane. At this time, I was very uncomfortable because of carsickness and high altitude. After learning that the hotel I was about to stay in had 24 hours of oxygen supply, I felt reborn. The fifth meteor lightyear hotel, you are simply my mother ~

Walking into the hotel, I felt a strong Tibetan style. There was a display cabinet with a black meteorite placed inside. Legend has it that there are five meteorites in Shangri-La, four of which are preserved by famous local families. They represent courage, wisdom, love and health respectively, and the most mysterious is the fifth meteorite-it represents luck. Today I have the opportunity to see the style of this real meteorite. It seems that the god of luck really cared for me. Of course, I also hope that everyone who sees the lucky meteorite will also have good luck with them.

See this meteorite? It means lucky ~

The excitement of seeing the meteorite and my curiosity about Tibetan-style hotels made me instantly forget the discomfort caused by Gao Lian. After getting the room card and entering my respective rooms, I realized that my Gao Lian seemed to have eased a lot. I secretly felt happy. It is indeed a five-star hotel. This kind of oxygen supply system is really luxurious!

At this time, I also had the energy to carefully taste this room that combines Tibetan style with modernity. The room was spacious and the bed was very big. For a small girl like me, it was simply luxurious. All kinds of decorations and paintings were also in line with the Tibetan theme. The attentive hotel was afraid of drying out the guests, so it equipped every room with a humidifier. It felt very good. I opened the window and gave a panoramic view of the ancient city of Dukezong. The unique clear atmosphere on the plateau came in. Hmm ~~ It was her-the Shangri-La that I longed for.

If it weren't for my hungry growling, I would have stayed in my room and refused to go out. Shangri-La was really cold at night. I wrapped myself in my thickest clothes and walked into the ancient city of Dukezong against the cold wind. On Sifang Street, I saw the "square dance" of ethnic minorities with unique local characteristics. Everyone held hands and danced together. It was so lively.

I found a local specialty restaurant and enjoyed it. I drank butter tea for the first time. I couldn't tell if it was the aroma of peanuts or sesame seeds. The taste was strong and slightly salty, which was exactly what I liked. I drank several cups in one go. The authentic yak meat hot pot is especially suitable for people like me who are afraid of cold. It keeps out the cold and warm. Highland barley cakes have also become my favorite. They are about the size of pizza. I ate 2 pieces in one go, which is really satisfied.

So this is the butter tea. The color is a bit like sesame paste? But it's really good.

Today is the most tiring day, but when I first met Shangri-La, I felt an inexplicable joy. On the way back to the hotel, I thought to myself, tomorrow must have a good weather, good night.

When staying in a five-star hotel, I think everyone will care about one question, which is whether breakfast is served and how it tastes. With this curiosity, I got up early and came to the lobby. I found that many people were already eating. I took out the hotel's carefully warmed plates and looked at the dishes in turn. There really were everything, from local rice noodle casseroles to pollution-free vegetables, Chinese snacks made of buckwheat, or Western-style coffee snacks. Or Tibetan-style yak yogurt butter tea, which is really everything. I took some of my favorites and went to an empty dining table to enjoy the beauty of my morning.

Today's itinerary is to go to the Napahai Grassland to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the vast grassland. But when I walked out of the hotel, my heart cooled when I saw the rainy weather. After discussing with my friends, we still decided to go and have a look. After all, we are here, so we can't waste precious time. The driver who came to pick us up had been negotiated early in the morning. The master is very nice and the price of a chartered car is not high. The four round trips cost only 60 yuan. He is also very good at singing. Listening to the master's cheerful singing, I got closer to Napahai little by little. It made my originally gloomy mood feel better. What's so bad about it when it rains? It's just knives, and she's still Shangri-La!

Although the weather is not beautiful, coming here is not without gain. Because it rains, I can only enter on horseback. For the first time in my life, I had the experience of crossing the road on horseback. I followed the herdsmen to the village where they lived and saw A small Gesang Flower Sea, passed through the pasture, and then came to the center of the grassland, part of the Napa Sea.

Because of the rain, the grassland was flooded. I seemed to see a patch of Hu Bo. The mountains in the distance were stacked on top of each other, emitting clouds of smoke. In the vast sky, the clouds in the sky were running fast, and the grassland was motionless at my feet. I felt the power of nature.

At this time, I was wearing the thickest clothes, wrapped in the shawl I bought in the ancient city last night, and the raincoat lent to us by the herdsmen. My face was covered in rain and I was unspeakably embarrassed. But the moment I saw the grassland, I still smiled happily. I looked for the best angle to take photos with my friends, learned to archery in the cold wind, and hugged the cute little lambs. Although we had not seen the most beautiful Napa Sea, although we had not been able to walk into the Napa Sea, although we would have left regrets, but who said that regret is not another kind of beauty?

I have been wrapped into a walking rice dumpling ~ It's so cold that I can't even pull the strings, I really missed an arrow

The horses next door are leisurely eating grass ~

An hour later, riding the horse we had come on, we slowly walked out of Napa Sea, had a simple meal at a local specialty restaurant, and returned to Dukezonghua Lane. After a short rest, we went to visit the flowers carefully. Lane.

Walking into Dukezonghua Lane, traditional craftsmen Tibetan paintings and Tibetan wood carvings can be seen everywhere. There are also many cafes, restaurants, and small shops from all over the world are gathered here. Most of them are unique and enjoy shopping for treasures. Blessed ~

The street maps of Dukezonghua Alley are all re-photographed when we stepped out of the sun on the last day. Blue skies and white clouds are the correct way to open Shangri-La ~

The unique Jeb Gate Tower, Dahongmen, and Dukezong Theater are every place for Internet celebrities to check in. Friends who come to play must not miss it.

At Jeb's Gate, the Dukezong Grand Theater was filmed on the last day of departure while taking advantage of the good weather. I want everyone to see how blue the sky in Shangri-La is ~

In the evening, we arrived at the hotel's Lucky Meteor Restaurant and had the most sumptuous meal we have had since arriving in Shangri-La.

Noodles made of buckwheat are enough to fill your stomach in a small cup.

There are also amazing but cheap shenjian buns. They are so delicious that I can't stop chopsticks.

The local chickens on the plateau, Matsutake, were boiled into a big pot of soup, dispelling the cold for days

The pork chops wrapped in highland barley noodles taste crisp and soft. When dipped in the hotel's special pepper noodles, it is really crisp and fragrant ~

Dry pot potato slices are fresh, spicy and delicious, and pollution-free vegetables are particularly safe to eat. Surprisingly, after ordering so many dishes, only 100 per person is available. It is really delicious and affordable.

After that, we went to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Experience Center. Nishi black pottery, Dongba papermaking, Mani stone carving, pine forest Tibetan incense can all be booked and experienced. That night, we experienced making our own handmade black pottery cup, which was of great significance.

After making future cups, the hotel will mark our names and mail them to us after they are cooked. This project is free of charge throughout the entire process. I once again feel the hotel's intention and efforts to spread intangible cultural heritage culture. Heart.

After all, I didn't get used to it when I first arrived at the plateau. When I returned to my room, I was like a deflated ball. I felt like a deflated ball. I had a fever. I drank the Ganmaoling that my friend bought for me. Then I discovered a Tibetan fumigation. In addition, I have high altitude and fever. Will it be much more comfortable to soak my feet? So I ordered a saffron rose foot bath. The price was 118, which was not too expensive. It came in about 5 minutes. It was very efficient and the service was good.

Foot soaking really cures all diseases. Under the effect of Ganmaoling and foot bath medicine bag, my fever gradually subsided, and my whole body felt indescribable. After the service was over, I could have a good sleep again today.

It was early morning when I woke up. It was the last day. I got up earlier than usual. I opened the window expectantly to look for a trace of the sun. However, I was attracted by the ancient city, blue sky, and clouds in the mountains in the early morning. I photographed this beautiful scenery for you.

Today, my friends no longer set out together and all arranged their own itineraries. So I teamed up with Miss Rui 'er and went to Songzanlin Temple. Shangri-La is also a very convenient place to hire a taxi online. We only cost 13 yuan by taxi from the hotel, and 90 yuan for the scenic spot (including the bus fare after entering the scenic spot, 10 yuan per time).

Gadan Songzanlin Temple is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province. Because it resembles the Potala Palace in appearance, it is known as the Little Potala Palace and is also known as the Tibetan Art Museum.

According to Tibetan custom, you need to stay on the left to go up the stairs and on the right to go down the stairs. Due to the large altitude span, you need to travel slowly and do not exercise vigorously. High-altitude is no joke.

Walking up the stairs, I turned around and happened to see the sun coming out to meet him. It was a beautiful picturesque scenery. I thought to myself that it would be worth my life to have the honor to visit this paradise.

The main halls stand above the square, with unique facades in the style of Tibetan Buddhist temples and embellished with various gold domes. They look majestic. Photos cannot be taken inside the main hall, so we put away the camera and went in with a pious heart. After paying homage, we also had to go in and out of the hall from left to right. The Tibetan style is very strong and solemn. Listening to the Buddhist singing of the monks makes people awe-inspiring, and they will unconsciously feel a trace of peace in their hearts.

There is no need to burn incense or return a vow here. As long as you are serious and meditate piously. What you seek here is just a spiritual sustenance, and the one you worship is actually yourself.

Later, he followed a large number of tourists to turn the prayer wheel. Gu Dade said: "If there are 10,000 Guanyin Mantras in the prayer wheel, then one turn will give you the equivalent of reciting 10,000 times."

After walking through the entire temple, he walked down the stairs on the right and slowly walked down. He looked back, wanting to deeply imprint this picture in his mind.

After returning to the hotel and packing our luggage, we went to the observation deck to take a look at the distant Guishan Park, and finally overlook the ancient city one last time. Although the journey has not been so perfect, and although there are still many places worth visiting, I still feel very happy on this trip. The regrets I want to leave and the places I haven't visited must be for the next time. The best excuse for coming here, right?

What here is not only magnificent grasslands, towering snow-capped mountains, leisurely grazing cattle and horses, and warm and friendly Tibetans. It also has unparalleled beautiful scenery, polluted air for 365 days a year, and pollution-free vegetables and fruits, and a sky that is bluer than the sea. There are countless believers who regard them as the sun and moon in their hearts. Yes, she is yours and mine.

In the past five days, time has passed quickly, and I suddenly feel like a dream in these days. What I have just experienced has instantly turned into a memory. I am a little lost and excited. I have been very happy to get along with my friends in the past few days. We walked through the ancient city together, crossed the grassland together, gained friendship, and experienced ups and downs; Either reluctant or regretful, I couldn't help but sigh, lamenting that in this world, we may be able to grasp everything, but not the passage of time. Although we don't know when we will next meet, the future is promising. I hope we can all become better ourselves and will eventually meet again.

In the blink of an eye, it's time to leave. I don't know when I will have the opportunity to come again. I hope that you will not change. You will always be the Shangri-La in the hearts of the world.

Fated to see you again-the last piece of pure land in the world.
