"Lijiang" is this place in my heart, and I won't get bored no matter how many times I go.

It has become the norm to make appointments with my best friends in Yunnan when they have nothing to do. Every time the planned week-long trip ends up being more than ten days. What's so fun here?

Everyone has a Lijiang in their hearts, which represents different meanings.

I like the slow pace of Lijiang very much. I used to dream of opening an inn here. This dream has gradually been forgotten. Every time I come here, I always get used to finding a favorite courtyard to stare in the sun.

Lijiang ancient city

For the past few years, I have always liked to travel to Yunnan, and I will come to Lijiang to stay for a few days every time. Lijiang is still a little cool in the morning and evening during this season, and the flowers in the yard are blooming exceptionally well.

After dinner, go to the ancient city. Although this season is not the peak tourist season in Lijiang, there are still many tourists on the street.

Get up early and eat a bowl of rice noodles at the inn. There is a cherry tree in the yard with red fruits hanging on the tree. I originally wanted to pick a few and try it, but who knew that all the places I could reach would be picked up by the residents.

The Ancient City of Lijiang is located in the Ancient City of Lijiang City in Yunnan Province, southwest China. It is located in the middle of Lijiang Dam and located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. Although it is located on a plateau, you can see snowy mountains all year round, and the climate is distinct all year round. Because of its convenient transportation, Lijiang has become a necessary transit city to go to Shangri-La, Lugu Lake, Dali and other places. The streets in the ancient city of Lijiang are built around mountains and rivers and paved with red breccia. There are scenic spots such as Sifang Street, Mufu, Wufenglou, Lijiang Ancient City Dashuichui, Baisha Residential Building Complex, and Shuhe Residential Building Complex. The so-called ancient city of Lijiang actually refers to the ancient city of Dayan.

Dayanhua Lane is a very lively street in the ancient city. The stream flows slowly from top to bottom. Every holiday, flowers are placed on both sides, making it a special scenery.

I remember the last time I came to Lijiang, I was in this courtyard. I got up early and saw a different scenery. The sun turned the snowy mountains red, and then the light slowly sprinkled on the ancient city, awakening all the flowers. This is probably how the warm light of the ancient city and the refreshing wind in the mountains feel.

My friends and I got up early that day and came to the roof to watch the sunrise. Watching the sun turn the snowy mountains red, you will feel satisfied without worrying about whether the background is too explosive.

The mandala and roses in the yard bloom particularly well. I wish there was such a big garden.

It is recommended to take photos early and late. There is a crystal ball on the roof to sit and wait for the sunset. If you are lucky, you can also encounter a pink sunset.

The ancient city of Lijiang is actually quite big, with every alley of the same size. If this is the first time, it is really easy to get lost. There are thousands of inns in the ancient city alone. If you don't know the direction clearly, it will be difficult to drag boxes on bluestone slabs.

I wanted to wait for a sunset, but I didn't see it after waiting for a long time. However, as night fell, the sky turned blue, and the lights in the ancient city were lit up one by one. Waves of singing came from the bar street, making Lijiang even more charming when the lights were on.

After coming down from the Wenchang Palace and strolling around the ancient city, I found a small shop selling clothes with my friends. It is different from the ethnic customs on the street. It is also a kind of luck to find clothes you like here.

Lijiang Eternal Love

Every time I come to Lijiang, I will see the billboard on the street "Lijiang's everlasting love, a once-in-a-lifetime performance." Although I feel that the advertisement is a bit exaggerated, the ancient situation has attracted my attention. It was rainy and there was nothing to do, so the boss recommended that my friends and I go to watch the Qianqin performance. When we had nothing to do, we would go for a stroll. Lijiang Qiangu Scenic Area is about 6 kilometers away from the ancient city, and it takes about half an hour to take a taxi. Tickets: 280-360 yuan/ticket Opening Hours: Weekdays 13:00-20:30 will be adjusted according to the situation during holidays: Two games on weekdays: 16:30 and 19:30 "Lijiang Love Song" daily at 17:30 (Due to weather conditions, the program may be changed, delayed or cancelled without prior notice, please refer to the scenic spot announcement on the day)

The shops here are unique. There are almost all the specialty shops in Dayan Ancient City. If you come early, you can still stroll around.

The Ancient Tea Horse Road is one of the most spectacular natural scenery and the most mysterious culture in the world. It is popular among many outdoor hikers. Starting from the Dai Village in Xishuangbanna, we pass through Lisu Village, the Ancient City of Tea Horse, Mosuo Village, the Horse Gang Camp, and the Wa Village, and finally reach Nacuozhai, the end of the Tea Horse Ancient Road. Today, the eternal feeling has condensed all the essence of this route on the road we have taken, taking us back to that prosperous years.

The wishing wind chimes and streamers hung on the wooden bridge match today's costumes very well. I took photos with my friends on the bridge.

There are also Xishuangbanna style buildings in the scenic area, which is very good for taking photos and checking in. When entering the scenic spot, you can grab a program list at the door. Different areas have different performances. The top ten outdoor performing arts shows are mainly concentrated in Ma Gang Square, Qianguqing Cultural Square and Dai Village. The top ten performing arts shows include the laughter capture of Liu Yidao, street acrobatics, life hanging on a thread, street singer performances, climbing the mountain and descending the sea of fire, Mufu recruiting a son-in-law, flash mob through, Wa village happy singing, shadow puppet shows, and Wa people spitting fire in the scenic area. It seems that we missed something while playing in the small shop.

I took a fancy to a tie-dyed bag and liked it very much.

There was no entertainment when I was a child, but the dizzying glasses were a very luxurious thing. I didn't expect to see them here. The panscope master is very interesting and has been working hard to attract tourists.

"Lijiang Eternal Love" is the core product of Lijiang Eternal Love Scenic Area. Lijiang Qianqing Scenic Area is built by Songcheng Performing Arts, China's first listed performing arts company. With Lijiang's ethnic and regional culture as the theme and the large-scale song and dance "Lijiang Eternal Love" as the core content, it shows Lijiang's thousand-year culture and historical customs.

Some people were happy and others were worried when they went home. When the next transportation mission came, the women once again strongly sent off their husbands.

Generations of horse gangs continue to flourish on the ancient road. The Ancient Tea Horse Road, known as the "Southern Silk Road", is a civilized road for economic and trade exchanges between ethnic minorities in southwest China and foreign countries. Today, Lijiang, as a unique transit and distribution center on the ancient tea-horse ancient road, welcomes the gathering of Han and Han dynasties and merchants, with silk and bamboo orchestras and folk dances everywhere.

The green lights are like a tunnel of time. A Naxi man and woman are dancing, and the beautiful dance is looming in the gorgeous dance beauty.

After watching the performance for more than an hour, I still haven't finished. For me, the experience of the ages far exceeded my expectations. Whether it was the story frame and the stage design or the wonderful performances of the actors, they were impeccable.

After playing there for a while, the performance was over when we went to Mufu to recruit a son-in-law. I remind everyone to check the program schedule and performance time when they come, so as not to miss the wonderful performance.

The combination of fortune-teller and Jigong is already strange enough. He and his friends get together to take photos with them and let a group of tourists queue up.

It was already very late when I returned to the ancient city. After playing in Songcheng all day, I was still reluctant to leave. Next time I have the opportunity, I would bring my parents over to visit.

Yulong Snow Mountain

The top of the mountain that the cableway can reach is still a few hundred meters away from the highest point. From here, you need to walk up the mountain. On the surface, this distance seems gentle.

The weather is very important when you come to Yulong Snow Mountain, but today is blue sky and white clouds, and I feel like my character has exploded. The snow wind blew so hard that my face ached, and the clouds on the top of the snowy mountain were running away by the wind.

blue Moon Valley

The afternoon itinerary for a one-day trip in the mountains is to go to the Blue Moon Valley under the snowy mountains. When I first heard about Blue Moon Valley, I thought its name was so nice. Because its predecessor was known as the "Baishui River" earlier. On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley.

There are several such waterfalls in Blue Moon Valley. Some people say that Blue Moon Valley is a small Jiuzhai. The water quality is clear and it really looks like Jiuzhai at a glance.

Shuhe Ancient Town-the most beautiful time

Shuhe Ancient Town, known as "Shaowu" in Naxi language, is called "Shaowu". Because the mountains behind the village are like peaks, it is named after the mountains and is spread and mutated. It means "village under the peak". It is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi. It is an important market town that is well-preserved on the ancient tea-horse road. Shuhe Ancient Town is relatively quiet, so it would be best to stay for a few days if you have time.

The Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum is an integral part of the "Shuheyuan" building complex of Mu's Tusi in the Ming Dynasty. It has six murals inside. Like Baisha murals, it is the only remaining model of Ming Dynasty murals in Yunnan and is listed as a provincial cultural relic. The Ancient Tea-Horse Road Museum set up inside the building is a special museum with the theme of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road culture, local customs in Shuhe and Pu 'er tea culture.

There are this little wooden horse in several courtyards. The boss said that it was purchased from Thailand, which is a symbol of Tinghuatang. Last time I took a photo, I accidentally pulled the horse's tail loose and didn't dare to tell the boss. This time I came here and found that Ma Wei had died heroically.

Drinking tea and basking in the sun with my friends in the yard, stealing a life of leisure for half a day.

These flowers had just been planted when I came here last year, and this year they have blossomed so well that I have to say that time flies.

Unfortunately, there is no room this time. Sitting on the rooftop terrace and looking at the stars is probably the most romantic thing.

There is a place called Paradise near Shuhe Ancient Town, which is very suitable for taking photos. My friends and I like it very much. Tickets are 20 per person, and you can take a taxi here for one afternoon at night.

There are many small scenes suitable for taking photos here, which are the best for us who like photography. The stone walls are the original buildings of Lijiang, and there are also several corners of heaven.

I have been to Shuhe many times, and each time I have a different scenery. Flying water touches the small pot of rice next to the flowers. The little friends praised their copper-pot rice, so they came to give it a try this time. Every time I eat it, there are new surprises, and this time is no exception. This time, the Snow Mountain Shu Ball is very amazing to me. The copper pot rice is as delicious as ever!

Baisha ancient town

Baisha Ancient City-What Old Lijiang looks like in my heart

The ancient town is not big, and you can visit it in half an hour. It has ancient archways and streets in all directions. Most of the stores here are opened by Naxi locals, lacking the commercialization of the ancient city of Lijiang.

There are several batik cloth workshops in Baisha Ancient Town, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds, and I like to take pictures of these colored dyed fabrics every time I come here.

Yuhu village

More than ten kilometers north of the ancient city of Lijiang, there is a village called "Wuluken" at the southern foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, which means the village at the foot of the Snow Mountain. It is said that there are legendary deer farmers living here, people who retain their traditional lifestyle and enjoy the blessings of the snowy mountains. I have been to Lijiang many times, and Yuhu Village is a place I often miss.

From Yuhu Village, you can walk to Yuhu Lake in 10 minutes. In fact, the Jade Lake is a reservoir at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, but it is also a photography holy place. Many wedding photographers like to come here to take photos.

Qingxi Reservoir

Qingxi Reservoir is located in the northern suburbs of Lijiang City. It passes by every time you go from Dayan Ancient Town to Shuhe. It is also one of Lijiang's drinking water sources. I came here last autumn and took a photo I like very much. I never thought I would come here by visiting a scenic spot. This is not a scenic spot, but it is more surprising than any scenic spot, so I recommend it to everyone.

The Qingxi Reservoir Dam in the morning is full of people doing morning exercises. Ordinary tourists will not come here, but you can feel the atmosphere of Lijiang local life here.

Every time I come to Lijiang, I will have some new harvests, and this time Qingxi Reservoir is also a surprise. On the way to travel, luck and regret are often accompanied by each other, so I cherish every unexpected gain.

lashihai

Yunduanbi Club is very famous in Lijiang. It was an eye-opener for me to come here with a friend. It turns out that this is how everyone's trip to Lijiang is.

The Lashihai that surprised me was not a clubhouse, but a small place at the entrance of the Wetland Park. Driving to Lashihai Wetland Park, we were stopped far away. A handsome guy told us that we needed to park the car outside. After parking the car, I walked for half an hour to arrive at the ticket office of the scenic spot. This big brother asked for a parking fee and said it clearly. This was a mistake. After buying tickets, the scenery inside was average, but when I walked out of the door, I found many people taking wedding dresses. Only then did I realize that the most beautiful scenery is right at the entrance of the scenic area. No tickets are needed.
