I don't know when it started,

I am inexplicably full of yearning for Lijiang.

Perhaps its reputation has gone far and wide;

Perhaps its ancient city is tender and tender;

Or maybe it is because there are places in which it is fascinating;

Or maybe it's because we have been bound for too long in a reinforced and concrete city,

We are eager to break free, set sail from our hearts, and experience Lijiang as the most beautiful in the eyes of travelers.

When we made up our minds to measure this land with our footsteps,

We are already on the road...

Stop and in the empty time,

Keep your heart to yourself and hope you are here;

Just like the original dream,

I think we must persevere in everything we do, even though sometimes the results are unsatisfactory.

As long as you spend more energy on being a time traveler, no matter what the outcome is, the process will definitely be enjoyable.

Set sail from your heart and encounter the ancient city of Lijiang

Stop and in the empty time,

Keep your heart to yourself and hope you are here;

Just like the original dream,

I think we must persevere in everything we do, even though sometimes the results are unsatisfactory.

As long as you spend more energy on being a time traveler, no matter what the outcome is, the process will definitely be enjoyable.

Just as we look at the world outside the cabin at this moment, the inner feelings are so strong...

Early in the morning with excitement and a slightly tired body, go to Baiyun Airport to catch the early flight: fly from Guangzhou to Lijiang, the long-awaited city at 06:35, and arrive at Lijiang Sanyi Airport at about 9:55. After getting off the plane, you will be surprised to find that this is an airport with local characteristics.

It is about 30 kilometers from Sanyi Airport to Lijiang Ancient City. There are many bus ways to get there:

Method 1: It takes about 30 minutes to get to the ancient city by taxi, but the cost is more expensive, about 80 yuan, which is suitable for travelers traveling with 4-5 people.

Method 2: Take the airport bus to the terminal station and get off at the Blue Sky Hotel. The fare is 20 yuan. Then take a taxi from Lantian Hotel to various entrances of the ancient city. The cost is about 7 yuan.

Method 3: Choose a carpool near the airport, and the cost can range from 30 to 50 yuan per person. However, you have to wait for someone to get it together before you can set off.

For this trip, we chose Method 2. After picking up our luggage, we bought tickets from the airport bus stop and followed the road signs, and took the Line 1 bus line to the Lantian Hotel. Get off the terminal, transfer to the No. 2 bus and get off near the south gate of the ancient city. Check in at about 11:30 noon and prepare to encounter Dayan Ancient Town in Lijiang with expectation:

The Ancient City of Lijiang, also known as the "Dayan Ancient Town", is a famous city with beautiful scenery, a long history and splendid culture. It is also a rare and well-preserved ancient minority town in China. The ancient city was built in the late Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty (late 13th century AD). This small city in southern Yunnan is simple and lively, quiet and long-term. Blue bricks and white walls are piled up with the history of this ancient city.

The first thing I did when I came to the ancient city was, of course, to taste the specialty food here, so I recommended the cross-bridge rice noodles to my fellow colleagues. So we scanned along the way and finally found this shop. Although it was my second time to taste the cross-bridge rice noodles, its taste is still unforgettable:

After enjoying the delicious food, our combat effectiveness instantly increased to 100%. We couldn't wait to take various shots of the ancient city. Along the way, we continued to use our cameras to capture various moments in the ancient city, constantly marveled at the beauty of the ancient city:

The simplicity of Naxi customs and the hieroglyphs of Dongba culture seem to tell the history of this ancient city:

The pedestrians were bustling along the way, and Dago decided to leave a mark on this stone bridge, so he perfectly interpreted the 45-degree side profile. It was so handsome that I don't know how many girls would fall for it in an instant.

I bought a local specialty snack: Naxi rice cake. To be honest, I am not used to it.囧o(╯□╰)o

On a quiet afternoon, walking on the stone steps of Dayan Ancient Town, looking at the characteristic buildings along the way and the lazy puppies everywhere, I suddenly felt that this moment had touched the feelings of Lijiang that had been hidden in my heart for many years. I followed my footsteps and looked for that meter of sunshine.

My life is the same every day, the day before yesterday is the same, yesterday is the same as today, day after day, doing nothing step by step. As soon as I close my eyes, I can imagine what I will be like in the next ten years. This is not the life I want-Beijing Youth

One of the locations of the TV series "Beijing Youth", a TV series that has a deep influence on me to this day. In the play, four cousins break through the shackles to find a life that they believe is meaningful for their ideals and youth.

i believe that youth does not just refer to age, but a state where we remain in an inherent state every day, without passion or spiritual pursuit.

Think about the value of such life. Perhaps we should learn from them to make our lives more meaningful and happier.

Use a positive attitude towards life to turn a passive life into a positive life. Don't wait until the day you get old to remember your dreams many years ago.

Because of his timidity and cowardice, it finally turned into a sigh.

I think this is the deepest thought that the play gave me.

Another landmark building in Lijiang is the inscription written by Chairman Jiang Zemin next to the large water car.

From wandering around the ancient town in the morning until nearly 18:30 in the evening, everyone began to feel hungry, so they began to consider searching for delicious food.

The ancient city of Lijiang is particularly beautiful at night. A city that never sleeps, it begins to shine with stars again.

Slowly pacing in such a night, I don't know how much time it took for the bluestone pavement to exude such a moist luster.

In the world of eating food, I still look forward to all kinds of delicious snacks, so I will quickly give you a few pictures:

On a night like this, people are drunk if they don't get drunk. Let us say good night to Lijiang!

The quiet ancient town of Shuhe, the rich Dayanmufu

We got up early in the morning to prepare to visit the largest Tusi Mansion in the area: Mufu. Around 16 p.m., we decided to buy tickets to visit Mufu, the largest royal palace in the ancient town. I have heard of Mufu, but I only learned about it because of the TV series "Mufu Fengyun", and I am full of more expectations for it. Mufu is known as the "North Forbidden City, South Mufu". This palace covers a huge area and is magnificent. It can be called the royal palace of Zijing City.

It is said that the stone archway in front of Mufu was built of white jade collected from a tiger who jumped onto the Jinsha River. It is 9 meters wide and about 18 meters high. Four stone pillars support the stele, rafters, eaves and cover on the archway. The plaque is engraved with the word "loyalty" awarded by the Ming Shenzong.

Popularize the knowledge for everyone: Mufu is the common name for the Mu's Tusi Yamen in Lijiang. The Mu's Tusi family went through three dynasties: the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. During its heyday, Mufu covered an area of more than 100 acres and had nearly 100 buildings. It was the heart of the ancient city of Dayan in eight hundred years. Although it is just a Tusi house, its luxury and grandeur are no less than the official residence of any prince and noble. Its overall architectural style is "built like the Forbidden City".

The building is not only exquisite, but also reveals the characteristics of the local Naxi people everywhere.

This is the Tusi Council Hall, which is dignified, spacious, and magnificent. It is the hall for Tusi to discuss politics.

The exquisite carvings on the ceiling are amazing.

Facing the Tusi Building, I kept thinking about it and asking myself, what exactly is the one-meter sunshine deep in my soul? I think I already have the answer at this moment.

Tusi: Guangbi Tower is the gate building of the back garden. Historically, its building is called "Jia Dianxi."

Climbing halfway up the mountain (Lion Mountain) in the back garden of Tusi Mufu, you can overlook two-thirds of the scenery of Dayan Ancient City.

Blue bricks and white walls, blue skies and white clouds, this scene is refreshing at this moment.

Shuhe ancient town

Look, Shuhe Ancient Town is at the gate. My first impression that Shuhe Ancient Town gives me is that there are relatively few tourists, relatively little commercial atmosphere, and more simplicity of an ancient town. Compared with Dayan Ancient Town, although Shuhe Ancient Town is small in scale, it has a longer history.

Shuhe Ancient Town is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with scattered houses and houses. The pastoral village overlooks the Jade Dragon in the north, making it quite quiet.

You can go straight to the central market of Shuhe, where you will feel like déjà vu. This is a square similar to Sifang Street in the ancient city of Dayan Town. It covers an area of about 250 square meters. It is also known as Shuhe Sifang Street. It is extremely lively during the market days and was once a distribution place for fur trading in Lijiang.

Dayan Ancient Town may be beautiful, but it is crowded with too many tourists and full of too strong commercial flavor. Compared with Dayan, Shuhe may not be as exquisite and even a little sloppy, but it is this nature that makes us fall in love with this place deeply; fall in love with its simplicity, its leisure, and its romance.

Delicious kebabs. We each had 3 kebabs, and now we still want to drool after it is aftertaste.

At the Dongba Wish Wind Chimes Stand, it is said that if you write your wish on the back of the wind chimes, place your signature, and hang the wind chimes here with a sincere heart, your dream will come true. Hundreds of wish wind chimes hang here, and how many travelers come here with beautiful wishes, hoping that everyone's dreams will one day come true.

Maybe people need to keep moving forward with faith; work tirelessly when they see the direction; maybe we will be one step closer to our dreams.

We constantly use our lenses to record the myriad customs of Shuhe Ancient Town.

constantly burning images of the ancient town in his mind,

I hope that one day, when I look back, what Shuhe Ancient Town gave me was a complete documentary format.

Coming here, we keep looking for the one-meter sunshine deep in our soul, maybe it is here...

In the afternoon, we cooked a delicious meal in Shuhe Ancient Town before leaving. This restaurant is famous locally in Shuhe. Many celebrities will eat here as long as they go to Lijiang. Many celebrities such as Andy Lau, Sun Nan, and Li Yapeng have eaten it. It is the most authentic, best and most popular restaurant in Yunnan cuisine. Friends who come to Shuhe can check in here without being disappointed

There are many flowers planted at the entrance of the store, and there is also a stream from the Qinglong River flowing through it. The environment is very beautiful. Sitting close to the door, you can also watch passers-by coming and going. It feels too comfortable.

The food is very good, basically local Yunnan specialties. It tastes good, is sufficient, and the price is affordable. I am quite satisfied with it, so I must recommend it! It is rare to encounter such good food during travel, and the red star shines!

Is this the legendary Lashihai Park?

Murals and buildings full of local ethnic characteristics.

At the beginning, we followed a local guide to tour the village, and we all listened to her recount the legendary tea-horse ancient road. When I came to Lijiang and came to the Naxi people, local people called men "Fat Jin Brother" and women "Fat Jin Sister"

The first item of the itinerary was to take the local Yunnan horse and re-walk the ancient tea-horse road, all the way to the mountains. This is the local Dianma, which exists specially for walking on this mountain path. So much so that after I posted this horse on Weibo, my friends all jokingly asked me if I was riding a donkey or a mule. I replied helplessly: Where are your eyes? It's obviously a horse, but it's a little smaller.

I couldn't bear to see the Dian horse carrying me, and I staggered all the way, and walked on the bumpy stone road. Fortunately, we were successfully carried to the top of the mountain.

We stood on the top of the hill overlooking the Lashi Sea, and the scenery overlooking the Yulong Snow Mountain was still quite magnificent.

The wind was blowing on the top of the hill and looking at the scenery in the distance, I still felt emotional. We keep pursuing the meaning of travel, not to escape or show off, but to wash our bodies and souls, give ourselves a new perspective, or even a way of life, and add more possibilities to life.

When we saw the entrance of Lashihai, we were stunned and a little disappointed. Not only is the environment a little dirty, but the scenery of the entire wetland park from a distance is very ordinary. A good impression later was that we took a boat to the center of the lake and tasted the grilled fish sold. The taste was still good. Then stand in the center of the lake and overlook the entire Lashi Sea. Only then can you feel the unique landscape of the Lashi Sea, where the blue sky blends with the green lake water.

After we finished eating the grilled fish, we took a group photo in the center of the lake, leaving this precious photo.

Ascertain 4680 meters and conquer the Yulong Snow Mountain

Today's main itinerary is to conquer the Yulong Snow Mountain. The journey from the ancient city to the Yulong Snow Mountain is about 20 kilometers, and it takes about 45 minutes by car. It is the southernmost snow mountain in the northern hemisphere, and it is also a sacred snow mountain in the hearts of Lijiang people. The highest altitude of Yulong Snow Mountain is 5596 meters, but the highest altitude open to tourists is now 4680 meters. At this time, we were both excited and a little worried about altitude reaction. Everything is unknown, which makes it particularly exciting. Before heading for the snowy mountains, I first came to a magical lake at the foot of the snowy mountains: Blue Moon Valley.

After entering the gate, the bus will have to drive a long way forward to reach the foot of the snowy mountains. Overlooking the snowy mountains, it is quite pleasant.

When we are here, we have to marvel at how beautiful Blue Moon Valley is indeed. The crystal clear lake and blue water are quite unique.

The Yulong Snow Mountain in the distance is set off by the lake water, like an ultimate landscape picture. As the terrain moves down the river, standing downstream and looking up at the Blue Moon Valley is like being in a fairyland outside the world.

I observed carefully and found that the reason why the lake was blue was because the lake itself was crystal clear, and there was blue algae mud under the lake, so that through the clear water, you could see the blue algae mud reflected on the lake surface.

Walking along the river bank, we discovered that the blue color of the blue moon valley water is divided into three different levels of blue: lake blue, blue, and light blue, which is very magical. jQuery17105104031737854604_1571380329802

Taking the cable car straight up has constantly refreshed new heights in my life. After about 15 minutes, we reached 4508 meters. Unexpectedly, from the moment I got off the cable car, I had no altitude reaction at all. I wondered if I could go to Xizang next year to challenge new heights. So I was excited and happy, and then I secretly made up my mind that I must climb to a height of 4680 meters to challenge myself and conquer the Yulong Snow Mountain.

However, during the process of climbing the plank road along the road, I also saw many people experiencing altitude sickness. They either sat on the plank road or sucked in oxygen bottles crazily. Unfortunately, Dago and Juanzi, who were in the same industry, also experienced slight altitude sickness. In the end, even the oxygen bottle I brought sucked up. Fortunately, I did not have any altitude sickness o(□)o

Faced with such a sacred snowy mountain, with the blue sky and snow scenery blending with each other, I wondered how many years of reincarnation and deposition of rocks can coexist with the white snow here; and how many years of reincarnation must it take for this snowy mountain to stand here and receive the pious worship of tens of thousands of people who come here.

Facing the sacred snowy mountain, at this moment, I feel small; standing here and looking around, looking up at the snowy peak of the Yulong Snow Mountain, the blue sky and snow scenery blend with each other, making it so beautiful that it is suffocating.

Juanzi photographed the scenery, and I photographed her, and suddenly thought of a poem: You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are looking at you upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. haha.

The sky is blue and calm, the sun is bright and dazzling, the snow is white and dazzling, and the abrupt rock edges and corners are so black that people are solemn. But when all this is presented in front of you, you will feel that it is so beautiful and unreal.

At this time, facing all this. I suddenly realized that when I was young, everyone wanted to be "different". It's just that some people can't resist the thigh of time and choose to follow the trend. Some people, like stars, have chosen a path full of thorns. We are a group of people who want to break out of the shackles and live our lives according to our own ideas. So, we keep walking and on the road, looking for what we think is the meaning of life, perhaps our inner perceptions and growth experiences. As writer Ayi said: Some people in this world lie in the mud, watching life trample on themselves, while some people push through the clouds and tell us that people have the possibility of living in the clouds.
