order

I wrote in my diary in 2008

"I want to go to Lijiang after making money"

I was 19 years old

Now 11 long years have passed

I already have wrinkles and start to lose my hair

But I think that 19-year-old girl

Still in my heart

I did a lot of homework before leaving

Carefully drew the itinerary chart and made a detailed plan table

But plans cannot keep up with changes

In fact, the itinerary in the chart was not exactly followed

After returning home, there was no change due to being too lazy

So for reference only

The first scenery

The mountains, rivers, seas, sun, moon and stars you have seen

will be a part of your life.

That's roughly the meaning of my trip

Dayan ancient town

Dayan Ancient Town is the most commercialized place, but since we arrived earlier than the Spring Festival holiday, there were not many people. Wandering around in the alleys, looking at the dazzling array of goods, and shopping in bars gave a unique flavor.

mufu

Mufu lasted for more than 400 years in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In its heyday, it covered an area of more than 100 acres and had nearly 100 buildings. It was the heart of the ancient city of Dayan. Xu Xiake once lamented that it was "the beauty of an official house, resembling a king."

After experiencing the war of war in the late Qing Dynasty, ten years of catastrophe and major earthquakes, it is still majestic and majestic after reconstruction.

Lion mountain

Lion Rock is the best place to overlook the ancient city of Dayan.

I heard that Wangu Tower would charge, so I took a different approach to find the small observation deck in front of Wenchang Palace to watch the sunrise.

Shuhe ancient town

Shuhe Ancient Town is more primitive than Dayan Ancient Town and does not have such a strong commercial atmosphere. The weather was surprisingly good that day, and the photos seemed to be overexposed in the strong sunlight.

I really like this place full of small animals. It's natural for people to live with them.

Baisha ancient town

Dayan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town and Baisha Ancient Town together constitute the ancient city of Lijiang. Baisha Ancient Town was once the political, economic, commercial and cultural center of the Naxi people. It is the ancient town with the most Naxi legacy and the most original Naxi village.

Among the three towns, I love white sand best. It is quiet and comfortable. I order a latte at a roadside cafe and sit quietly in the sun in a daze, as if time has stopped.

lashihai

Lashihai Wetland Park is a beautiful place to take photos, but because we went too late, it became dark before we took two photos. Legend has it that if you are lucky, you can see red-crowned cranes in the lake.

Yuhu village

Yuhu Village is located at the foot of a snowy mountain. It is said that its earliest residents were people who protected the palace and raised deer for the Naxi King. Now the entire village still retains its ancient style, and it seems to have returned to the era of the Naxi Kingdom.

blue Moon Valley

The original plan was to climb the snowy mountains, but this was already the peak of travel during the Spring Festival holiday. The originally 20-minute journey from Yuhu Village to the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area took two hours. However, because there were too many tourists, the snowy mountains were restricted. I switched to the Blue Moon Valley and unexpectedly gained beautiful scenery.

Part 2: Food

Food has far-reaching cultural significance in different regions

It represents the changes in local customs over thousands of years

It contains the story of a certain nation's vicissitudes

The restaurants I have eaten in the past few days include Yunxueli Restaurant, Daoxiangli Rural Kitchen, Baisha Flavor Restaurant, Duoyi Vegetable Garden, Grandma Wen's Kitchen, etc. Yunnan's food is very suitable for my taste.

Chapter 3 Accommodation

If you choose a city to die old

I would also like to choose Lijiang

I have heard many poetic stories

I also saw many passers-by settling here

For example, the owners and butlers of these inns

The first inn I stayed in, Tinghuatang

The courtyard is full of flowers, and there is a small terrace on the roof, where you can see the snowy mountains from afar.

The second family wants to know the mountain residence

There are inns full of meat everywhere, with two aleskas and a samo guarding the gate. We also ate New Year's Eve dinner at this inn. We drank our glasses to celebrate with travelers from all over the world, watched the Spring Festival Gala together, and set off fireworks together.

The third house, Shu Jia Yu Lu-Xuesongyuan

This house is in Yuhu Village and is popular among online travel circles. Although it is expensive, I still want to experience it once. The service is very good, but the facilities are a little outdated. The most unforgettable thing is the starry sky you see at night.

p.s. Lijiang's eternal love performance is also worth seeing

At this point, the trip to Lijiang is over

Looking forward to setting sail again
