Preface ~

Make some changes with the right impulse. When you want to change, do it, with the right impulse and confidence.

In this way, I bought my ticket in such a busy and green season, and only thought about going out and relaxing next month. I didn't need to care too much. Once I think too much, I will find that many things will become a kind of hindrance.

Life is about seeking simple happiness. When you make yourself exhausted, you should go out for a change of air.

This trip was a bit casual and a little bit expectant. My yearning for ethnic minorities and the unknown of a quiet and different life led me to choose Lijiang and Lugu Lake in Yunnan.

The budget is controlled within 4k. In fact, not counting some gifts you bought, transportation expenses, accommodation expenses, and meals add up to less than 3000 yuan. Therefore, in fact, travel is not as expensive as everyone thinks. If you have the opportunity, you must go out and see more. The world is so big, how can you not get to know it?

I like a passage very much: Travel is not a good medicine for the world, but it is an aspirin. What travel can change is your vision and mentality.

If you don't go out for a walk, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you will never believe that there are still so many things in the world that are beyond your knowledge.

In Lijiang, Yunnan, feel the tranquility of Lugu Lake and the beauty of the ancient city.

Dream Lugu Lake, a mysterious daughter country. This is a place full of magic. It is located in Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Lijiang City, with an altitude of 2685 meters. The Mosuo people live in the northwest of Yunnan Province, on the beautiful Lugu Lake at the junction of Sichuan and Yunnan. They have a population of about 50,000 and have their own native language, but no written language.

Day1: Arriving in Lijiang for the first time and encountering Dayan Ancient Town

It was already lunchtime to return to Guiyang from Xijiang. After a short stay in Guiyang, we took a plane to Lijiang and continued to the next stop, the Ancient City of Lijiang.

You can't imagine how blue the sky is if you don't come to Yunnan once. You don't need to add any filters, and it won't start to get dark slowly after eight o'clock.

I came to Lijiang for the first time and checked out many strategies. They all said that it was too dry and the ultraviolet rays were strong, so I brought a lot of masks and sun protection. For the first night, we chose to stay in Dayan Ancient Town, also known as the "Ancient City of Lijiang".

The inn we stayed in was really like home. Unfortunately, it was a little late when we arrived. We packed up and went out to forage for food and visit the ancient city. We set out for Lugu Lake early the next morning, and didn't sit down and chat with the inn owner and wife.

But I believe that Shi Guang will save the best for last and look forward to meeting you again next time.

We were so hungry that we randomly entered a store. Sometimes, such an accidental encounter can leave a deep impression. And this store also lived up to our expectations, especially this lotus leaf corn chicken soup, which we couldn't wait to take the entire pot away.

At night, the farther we go to the center of the ancient city of Lijiang, the greater the flow of people, and the cries of shops on both sides of the road are comparable to all kinds of street sellers. In contrast, I prefer the tranquility of Wuyi Street where we live, which is more in line with Lijiang's impression.

Day2: Depart from Lugu Lake and go to "Paradise on Earth"

Early the next day, we packed our bags and were ready to leave. The temperature in the morning is a little low, and there is a burst of coolness coming from you. Walking along Wuyi Street with my luggage is quiet and comfortable. The only bad thing is that I feel sorry for my suitcase.

This is mainly a stone paved land, so backpacking is recommended when traveling to Lijiang. After breakfast, we waited at the intersection of a tree for the master to pick us up with the group and head to Lugu Lake. Why do you want to follow the group? It is because it is more convenient to sign up for a two-day and one-night tour compared to a chartered car trip and a tour around the lake. I was introduced by my colleagues in advance to Miss Lijiang Wencheng, who is doing a pure play tour in Lijiang, and booked a pure play tour group at Lugu Lake. The price is very high, the play is relatively good, the teacher is enthusiastic, and the group members are also very good. It is mainly commercial vehicle travel. There are only 7 people in the car. Does it feel very tall and elegant?

What's worse is that after you get off the bus, local sisters will focus on you and keep pestering you with all kinds of pitiful looks and asking you to buy local fruits and some specialties. If you don't buy it, she will always follow you, but as long as you don't conflict with her, she will change her target after a while.

We walked all the way down from the observation deck and reached the lake where we could feel the dream of the Kingdom of Daughters very close. The master told us that the water here can be drunk directly, and if you drink it, you can have twins.

There are too many versions of the story about the wedding bridge, so I won't introduce them one by one

Lugu Lake is really beautiful, so quiet, and the water is so blue and clear. You can clearly see the aquatic poplar flowers at the bottom of the lake. After the wedding bridge, we arrived at the dock, preparing to take a boat to the "Dear Inn" and then board Princess Island.

This is the hot variety show. Dear Inn, the shooting point of the inn. The inn is closed, so you can only visit it outside

This is the scenery seen on Princess Island.

Unfortunately, the weather was not beautiful. It began to rain heavily in the afternoon when we arrived at Lugu Lake. When we were walking on the "Wedding Bridge", the rain became heavier and heavier, and the sky became colder and colder, so that we spent the evening bonfire party in the cold.

This is a special dinner for the local Mosuo people. In addition to the sumptuous dinner, the enthusiastic elder brother also continued to add dishes for us and even asked Amei to sing two toast songs.

The evening activity is to attend a bonfire party. Everyone here is really good at singing and dancing.

Day3: Lugu Lake is surrounded by lakes and Ka Rig ~

That night, we stayed in a viewing room by the lake. The next morning, I ran to the lake to enjoy the scenery. I have to say that Lugu Lake was very quiet and lovely in the morning.

Soon after, the sun came out. I think it also knew that we were going to Lugu Lake in Yunnan, the most beautiful Ligg Peninsula. The pig trough boats here are surprisingly bright in color, and the scenery is also super beautiful.

Colorful pig trough boats attracted the attention of many people ~

This is the last place to get off the bus and take photos. The two-day trip to Lugu Lake will end after walking through this place.

A Guangdong couple in the group especially wanted to help them take a photo.

Shuhe ancient town

After the last stop on Lugu Lake, we will return to Lijiang again. We went directly to Shuhe Ancient Town ~

This is the inn we stayed in and it feels like home.◆ That night, my little brother took us to eat delicious food, then watched the local bonfire dancing, and accompanied us to buy specialties. The most important thing was to help negotiate prices. However, regarding the point of authenticity and authenticity, you still have to buy according to your own needs, and don't blindly believe it.

The food to eat in Shuhe Ancient Town is really comfortable. In fact, before I came here, I saw many recommended specialty and popular gourmet restaurants in Shuhe Ancient Town that have the most celebrities checking in when I was doing the guide. An important reason for staying in Shuhe Ancient Town this time is also for this food. I really didn't disappoint. The first time I saw the restaurant, my heart melted. I like the environment of the entire restaurant very much. There is a clear stream at the door and a lot of flowers are arranged at the door. The environment on the first floor is a bit crowded, but the second floor is particularly comfortable and spacious, with a balcony viewing space. When we went there, we happened to have a table to walk through. We were lucky to sit on the balcony viewing position while eating delicious food and listening to it. Singing and drinking cold beer is really comfortable. Friends who are in Lijiang can really experience this restaurant!

Day4: Revisiting the ancient tea-horse road ~

This is the last location from the plane at 16:30 a.m. -Lashi Sea. Lashi Sea is known as the cradle of life with rich water and grass and beautiful lake color.

This is the first time I rode a horse in my life, hahaha ~

Goodbye Lijiang
