"Are you not satisfied with life?

I haven't laughed for a long time, and I don't know why

Since you are unhappy and don't like it here,

Why not go west to Dali

The journey is a little bumpy and the air is thin

The wider the scenery, the lonelier the heart

I don't know who is waiting and where

I don't know what will happen later."

"Heart Flowers on the Road". In the movie, Dali has charming scenery, and the ending is a little sad. Even Hao Yun's episode "Go to Dali" seems to have a breathtaking magic. That day, we agreed to go to Dali before graduation. Later, it was like a movie, as if we were very busy every day, so busy that we never made this promise. In January of the following year, Qingxin and her partner went to Dali, and I also flew to Shanghai and Nanjing to visit the school after the laboratory. The "appointment" was just missed. I am about to enter my senior year, and I have to choose between work and postgraduate entrance examination. Even if I choose to continue to study for graduate school (maybe really to escape), I will be tortured every day what I want. Have you thought it through clearly? What I want?

In mid-August, after finishing social practice and postgraduate entrance examination tutoring, I chose to go to Yunnan alone to find another myself and fulfill my promise in another time and space.

Shaxi ancient town

DAY 1. "Girl, how can I take pictures without opening the camera cover"(Shaxi)

Shaxi, located in the southwest of Jianchuan County, Dali City, Yunnan Province, is known as the only surviving ancient market town on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road. Some people say that Shaxi is more peaceful and leisurely than Lijiang, and less construction site and dust than Shuanglang. This was once a prosperous market on the ancient tea-horse road, and the only way for horse gangs to enter Tibet (Dian-Tibet). Compared with a prosperous ancient town like Lijiang, Shaxi has not so much been assimilated by the lights and glories, but rather forgotten by the times.

Dali North Passenger Transport Center went to Jianchuan and transferred to Shaxi. The journey lasted for four hours. I was exhausted by the sleeping god and closed my eyes. In a trance, a female voice chased away the sleepworm. Judging from the conversation, the girl only learned that there was a rush to the streets in Shaxi today, and wanted to play here for a while but was worried that she wouldn't be able to make it back (living in Dali). Then his nerves began to go crazy and he silently said,"If you don't mind, you can come with me. I booked a place in Shaxi," thinking that if she couldn't catch the bus, she would "take" her. I don't know where I got the "courage" to stay with a strange girl in a foreign country, but fortunately it turns out that give others the opportunity, so do I.

People who envy here have a small courtyard. On sunny days, about two or three friends have a daily chat and taste this spring's new tea. Near noon, they serve out freshly pickled fruits. You say the taste is light, but I think it's healthy.

Earlier, when we were very young, when we were children, had you ever had the experience of being like a little girl, carefree, leaning against a small set of wooden tables and chairs on a summer afternoon, raising your arms in imitation of an adult's appearance, rubbing your fingers against your books from time to time, and spending the last few days of the holiday amidst the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers? At that time, there were no waffles, no snacks, no cappuccinos, no American coffee, and a cup of plain boiled water tasted like that-ordinary but precious!

Bury a seed in your heart, and spring begins to take root and sprout; summer, you show me your face; autumn, I cried and said not to leave, but you lowered your head with a faint smile; time passed by day, and we passed through slowly winter. The following year, a sea of flowers bloomed in my heart.

Shaxi's wood carvings are very famous. Wood carvings pay attention to craftsmanship and test endurance. On average, a work takes half a year to complete.

About Uncle Peng's story: Just as he was preparing to take this wood carving painting, someone said,"Girl, how can I take a picture without opening the camera cover?"

At that time, it could only be described as "shame and anger". As a novice, you should humbly listen to the teachings of your predecessors, take photos and leave immediately.

Later, at the place where he patted meow,"Coincidentally, I met you again. Where do you live, I invite you to drink tea."

"Nearby!" Get out of here.

On the way back, he and Lili were walking while talking about how unlucky they were to meet the uncle. Thinking of buying fresh milk, they went to Jingshe opposite the door. (A small number of kzs in Shaxi can order fresh milk, which is nutritious, healthy and original).

The people in the courtyard were drinking tea behind the flower stand to explain their intentions. The landlady and sister said that milk would be available only in the morning.

Suddenly, familiar voices sounded again,"Is it the girl who took the photo without the camera?" and "Let's have tea together."

Thinking that this was like walking into a trap, it was a blessing, not a disaster, and it was a disaster that could not be avoided. Calm down to drink tea and chat (found that we had misunderstood), taste Pu 'er (served with Deng Nuo ham... Strange combination), talking about photography, talking about travel. Uncle Peng pointed to me who was confused from the perspective of a father of the same age. Girls always love to shed tears. After suppressing it for a long time, they think they have suffered a great injustice. After a glass of plum wine, hundreds of tears hit me, leaving thousands of thoughts behind.

It was three o'clock in the morning that night to bid farewell to the quiet house and return to spring.

Lijiang ancient city

DAY 2. Bar 13 Hours(Lijiang Dayan)

After bidding farewell to Shaxi, he took warm milk and Lili to Jianchuan, preparing to go to both sides (Dali and Lijiang). Before we can see each other again, new friends are about to break into life.

Shaxi is located between Dali and Lijiang. To get to Shaxi, you must transfer at Jianchuan. In terms of administrative divisions, Jianchuan belongs to Dali, but from the perspective of driving distance, Lijiang is closer. It only takes 2 hours from Jianchuan to Lijiang. I fell asleep peacefully along the way, not afraid of wind or rain, and woke up in a daze and saw the words "1km from Lijiang City" through the car window and instantly woke up.

I finished reading "Be Good to Touch Your Head"(signed version) on the way here. It was a pity to lose the book just like that. It was heavy to carry it on the road. When you are struggling, you have an idea to leave you in the cabin and return to the place where you were born. One day I will meet someone who needs you more than I do.

There is cool breeze in summer and snow in winter, flowers in spring and moon in autumn. I met another Lijiang in my cabin. The third one arrived and the last one left. At 5 o'clock in the morning, I closed the dilapidated wooden door, and the noise of the night was just stopped. Walking on the bluestone slabs where birds sing and flowers are fragrant, Sister Yaoyao said that we will never forget the cabin tonight. "Well, maybe" how can we forget the glasses brother who gave us roses, the "vampire" army who invaded in the middle of the night, and Lao Xie who protected us

Shuhe ancient town

DAY 3/4. There are pastoral and stories here, and there is always a life you want (Shuhe)

Shuhe, Lijiang ten years ago

There is an ocean in my heart, and flowers bloom in spring. There is Taoyuan in the heart, and all are between water and clouds.

The little brother who guides the way, the locals are simple and hospitable, you can communicate with them more, but it is generally no problem to communicate with young people.

Listening to a sharing session by Xiaopeng in the Naxi Courtyard, you are not alone; playing a game of billiards with strangers to expose your poor skills; riding an ancient town in the heavy rain and encountering the "spring" colors of the garden; Eating local food, it doesn't matter if it is delicious or strange; reading a book on the lazy sofa and wasting your time; sending a postcard to relatives and friends... ... If I can, I would also like to join the team for a snowy mountain ride

When visiting Shuhe Ancient Town, you must find a small shop to enjoy the good times of Lijiang, otherwise you will live up to the beautiful environment of Shuhe Ancient Town.

It was a godsend opportunity. I passed by the entrance of a small shop and saw that the environment was good, so everyone agreed to visit the small shop. The environment in the store was very good and the service was enthusiastic. The service from the handsome guy was very good. Moreover, the consumption inside was not high and everything was very affordable. I like this small shop so much. There are many books available for free. I really have a good experience! Check-in is highly recommended!

Shuhe Ancient Town has cooked many delicious food in two days, but what I like most is this popular food shop on the Internet. It is a delicious restaurant recommended by many people. Most celebrities come here to eat Yunnan specialties when they come to Lijiang. It is really good.

The food tastes good, is sufficient in quantity, and the price is relatively affordable. It is a restaurant with a relatively high cost performance. The restaurant is surrounded by many flowers. There is a small and slowly flowing stream passing by at the door. It feels super awesome. The key is still the food is delicious, the service is great, and the price is affordable. I highly recommend it!

Erhai Lake

Dear, leave some good memories for your favorite photos...

A little couple, from Quanzhou, junior students-one is in his hometown of Quanzhou, the other is in Jianshui, Yunnan. Long-distance relationships are not easy. It's rare to get together and encounter a big light bulb.

Cannes Town, 5 kilometers away from the ancient city (Dali Road Gate). Is it the kind on Dali Road? There are fewer people and it is suitable for taking wedding photos. The charge is lower than that of other places (10 yuan/person, 20-40 yuan/person in other places). If you can't find it, ask the locals

Regarding the origin of the name Erhai Lake, it is said that it looks like a person's ear from above, so it is called "Er"; Brother Xiao Zhou joked that Yunnan people have never seen the world, and many people have never seen a real sea in their lives, so they named it "Sea". I laughed when I heard this explanation. In my opinion, the Erhai Lake is no worse than the real sea.

My fellow villagers, a couple in Northeast China, like to rush forward without listening to orders. Perhaps it is our nature to rush around, and even if I sit back, I, who is controlled by others, will start to feel uneasy. Helpless, Xiao Zhou said,"Let us fly" and we rushed forward at full speed, and the partners behind him became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared. Brother Xiao Zhou let go of the handlebars, and we opened our arms and roared loudly. It was a long-lost relief.

Bai nationality tea is a drink presented to guests during weddings during festivals and weddings of the Bai nationality in Dali. It is also a form of etiquette. Each tea has its own characteristics, which are summarized as "bitter first, sweet second and aftertaste". Drinking tea is like life, and it makes sense-should you be bitter first, then sweet, and then aftertaste it

The first tea, bitter tea, also known as Lei Xiang tea. Put the best tea leaves into the earthen jar and roast them with slow fire, shaking while roasting until the tea leaves are slightly yellow and give off a fragrant aroma. Then pour in boiling water, and the inside of the tea jar will make a sound and blisters will appear. When the water foam dissipates, a little bitter and fragrant tea juice will be left in the earthen jar.

Erdao tea, sweet tea, is sweet, fragrant and has a milky aroma. Put walnut slices, roasted milk fan (fan-shaped food made from milk), brown sugar and other ingredients into a cup, and then add hot tea.

Make tea and aftertaste the tea. First put honey, pepper, ginger slices, cinnamon powder, etc. in proportion into a fine porcelain cup, then pour in hot tea and serve. It combines sweetness, hemp, spicy and tea aroma. It has a unique flavor and evocative flavor when drinking, hence the name Aftertaste tea.

DAY 6. The lover of the wandering singer (Haixi Walk)

She was a lover of a wandering singer in Xizang,

After all, the sweetness of love is no match for a xylophone

maybe one day

Or is Lhasa in front of the Jokhang Temple?

That he came again

kind sister

wish you happiness

Everyone looks forward to Lijiang, which is a good place to meet love; Dali, which is a holy place to gain new life

shuanglang

The above three pictures were taken in Shuanglang in Fresh January. In summer, due to safety considerations, such small fishing boats are generally not allowed to go out to sea, and the sunshine must not be as ineffective as in winter. Let me think about us then with a little envy

Tip: The boat is about 20 yuan/person, and it is not a problem to accommodate four or five people in one boat.

Shuanglang is a peaceful Bai town on the east bank of Erhai Lake. Two stone banks extend out of an exquisite coastal town. The Erhai Lake turns into two bays here, which surround Nanzhao Style Island and Yuji Island. A main stone alley through the heart of the street is winding and lyrical, with unique appeal.

One of the Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan: Milk is sold in fans (lower right corner). It originates from Dengchuan Bazi, Eryuan, Dali, on the shores of Erhai Lake at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. It is a fan-shaped curd thin sheet made of milk through special craftsmanship. It is commonly known locally as "milk fan". It is a favorite food for thousands of households in Yunnan. It is sold in streets and alleys for five yuan each.

From left to right, and from top to bottom, the picture shows: local vegetables, Shaxi fungi, Shuanglang shrimp cake, Xizhou cracked cake, Shaxi thin bean flour, and roasted milk fan.

DAY 8. Run the order of Zouma Plum Wine, see you in the Jianghu (See you in Yunnan!)

Is it because we have exhausted all our luck to meet? Is it also a kind of fate?
