If you can't avoid a suffocating past, learn to enjoy it.

Life is just very strange. I would never have imagined that a few years later, when I was doing things according to schedule, a few years later, I would spend a lot of time in the year wandering. Going to a strange place has always been a childhood dream. Now that I am over fifty years old, I find that wandering around really makes my soul extremely happy, so I can't stop.

Many years ago, I traveled to Yunnan and Guizhou, but I only traveled with tour groups. I didn't have a good experience and didn't remember much. This time my son is going to Guiyang to watch Lin Junjie's concert. Why not have a cool free trip to Yungui in the hot summer?!

DAY ONE

I chose to fly from Hangzhou to Kunming in the morning. I had no confidence in the punctuality of the plane, so I booked a bullet train to Dali in the afternoon. I also arrived at Kunming Changshui Airport a little earlier than expected. It was so cool. I came to Kunming ten years ago and came back ten years later and found that development was really slow, especially the railway station was a bit LOW, dirty and chaotic, and it was also the peak tourist season, with a lot of noise.

The sun was still strong when we came out of Dali Railway Station, but it was already night when the bus took us to the ancient city of Dali.

The B & B I booked on Ctrip is not far from the bus stop and is affordable.

Coming out with my gluttonous son is indispensable. Find rave reviews of me waiting for you in Dali? Ark Fatty Kitchen (Renmin Road Store), set out immediately.

It's late at night, but the restaurant is still very popular.

August is when a large number of wild fungi are on the market in Yunnan. No matter how expensive the price is, you have to try it first. My son likes to eat meat, so meat is of course indispensable. Later, I learned that this meal was the best meal on our trip to Yunnan-Guizhou. The ingredients were excellent. The umami of mushrooms can only be eaten in Yunnan. The meat turned out to be that kind of black pork. No wonder my mouth became greedy.

After having a full meal and wine, the restaurant also gave us a gift of Pu 'er tea.

DAY TWO

In the morning, I will have a serving of Dali's bait nuggets. It is more delicious than I imagined, sticky and resilient.

Today's main task is to go to Shuanglang to see Erhai Lake. From the ancient city of Dali to Shuanglang, we took a passing minibus, or we could carpool or choose a chartered car, which would be slightly more expensive.

Shuanglang Town is located at the northeastern end of Dali City, Yunnan Province and the northeastern bank of Erhai Lake. It is a provincial-level historical and cultural town in Yunnan Province and the "No. 1 Town in Canger Scenery." The town is surrounded by the graceful Erhai Lake and overlooking the towering Cangshan Mountain opposite.

The national 4A-level tourist attraction "Nanzhao Style Island" is also located in the town. The island covers an area of nearly 100 acres and lies quietly under the blue sky and in the clear water.

Yuji Island gathers the splendid Nanzhao culture and rich and mysterious folk customs, allowing a panoramic view of the magnificent and magnificent scenery of Cang 'er. Due to the villas of Yang Liping and the villas of painter Zhao Qing, the island has become even more famous.

Personally, I feel that I can stay in Dali for two days. On the first day, I can stay in the ancient city of Dali. On the second day, I can go to Shuanglang Town in the afternoon after playing in the ancient city of Dali. On the same day, I can stay in Shuanglang Town, so that the day and night scenery of Erhai Lake can be included. On the third day, I will stay in Shuanglang for half a day and take a bus directly to Lijiang at Shuanglang in the afternoon. This is very reasonable. Unfortunately, I arranged to stay in Dali Ancient City for both days.

There is an ancient town in Xizhou between the ancient city of Dali and Shuanglang Town. You can go and visit it when you have time, but I didn't go this time. But I tried Xizhou Baba in the ancient city of Dali. It was quite soft, tasted good, and was very cost-effective.

I spent my last night in Dali, and while the sky was not completely dark, I rushed to visit the beautiful ancient city of Dali. Dali's climate is particularly livable, and the midsummer dusk is extremely comfortable at the foot of Cangshan Mountain surrounded by white clouds.

I met a roasted milk fan in the ancient city and tasted it. The taste was within expectations.

DAY THREE

I am leaving Dali today, but I am a little unwilling to go to Santa Temple. My son needs to sleep in, so I plan to go early in the morning to take pictures of the three towers in the early morning sun. Unfortunately, it was a good idea. A sudden heavy rain drowned my dream, but I also saw that the weather in Dali in summer was changing instantly. The heavy rain stopped as soon as possible, and there were still a few wet three towers that looked like cigarettes curled up.

Go back to the ancient city hungry and look, there is another delicious food waiting there. Er Si, also a famous local snack, uses rice as raw material and feels a little sticky. The bait pieces are more chewy.

In the afternoon, the bullet train took us to Lijiang. The characteristics of the plateau area were more obvious, with blue skies and white clouds, and closer to the sky. When he came to the Ancient City of Lijiang, his son was a little excited and said that it was better than the Ancient City of Dali. Perhaps the hustle and bustle of the Ancient City of Lijiang was to cater to young people.

In Lijiang, we stayed at a very cost-effective hotel in the north gate of the ancient city of Lijiang booked on Ctrip. The only uncomfortable thing was that the main purpose of the hotel was to promote tourism products.

I felt that Lijiang's delicious food had almost no local characteristics in order to cater to holiday guests from all over the world. My son wanted to eat Northeastern food, so he searched the Internet for the "Jiaolvsu Dumpling Noodle Noodle Private Kitchen" Northeast Food Restaurant located in the ancient city of Lijiang and ordered a special set meal, which is really quite affordable, large and delicious.

Later, one day I came to this restaurant to eat Northeast dumplings, which were extremely terrible. This is a story later.

After dinner, while there was still light, we climbed to the top of the ancient city and had a panoramic view of the overlapping Naxi houses.

DAY FOUR

Today I'm going to Lugu Lake that I miss so much. I booked a bus to Lugu Lake on Ctrip. com. It's very good, starting from the north gate of the ancient city, very close to the B & B where we stayed and convenient.

The road conditions from Lijiang are not bad. It goes up and down the Jinsha River, but it is not very dangerous. The scenery on the road is beautiful, but it doesn't feel amazing.

After about 4.5 hours, we arrived at the boundary of Lugu Lake. Please leave the road money. The ticket for each person entering the village is 100 yuan. When I looked down at the lake from the top of the mountain, I was completely stunned! This is an amazing feeling of isolation!

When I saw the Rigg Peninsula from above, my heart melted. No wonder transportation is so inconvenient that so many tourists still choose to stay in Rigg.

Lugu Lake is actually located at the junction of Yanyuan County in Sichuan Province and Ninglang County in Yunnan Province. It is under the joint jurisdiction of Sichuan and Yunnan. To the east of the lake is Lugu Lake Town in Yanyuan County, and to the west of the lake is Yongning Township in Ninglang County, with a lake area of 50.1 square kilometers. The local transportation is inconvenient and there is no public transportation. You can choose to ride or just have a car to play here. We carpool around the lake with the bus, which was fun. Carpool tour arrives for half a day in the afternoon on the first day, and half a day in the morning on the second day.

The scenery seen in Lige, Yunnan, is the climax of the day, and another thing about Lugu Lake that is more attractive than the beautiful scenery is the unique ethnic customs-the daughter country of the Mosuo people. Then we took us to the Mosuo people's homes in Lugu Lake in Sichuan for dinner, visited their ancient wooden houses, listened to local sisters explain the Mosuo people's walking marriage culture, and finally attended a grand Mosuo people's bonfire party.

The car slowly drove into the village where the Mosuo people lived. The Mosuo people lived near mountains and rivers. The traditional houses were of unique style. The houses were all built with round wood or square wood walls and covered with wooden boards (now most of them have been covered with tiles).

In the eyes of the Mosuo people, the meat is not the fresher, the better, but the longer it is stored, the better. The shortest is from three to five years to the longest is more than a hundred years, breaking the limit of people's understanding of the storage time of meat. This mysterious longevity The meat is pig fat cured by the mysterious Mosuo people.

Pig fat meat is not only a kind of food in the local area, but also a sacred existence. It can be seen in everything from sacrifices to gods, weddings and funerals, to visiting relatives, and three meals a day.

The most distinctive feature of the Mosuo folk houses is the Mosuo grandmother's house. The old grandmother is the authority in the family. This room is used for family meetings and grandma's rest. The fire in the room cannot be extinguished and is endless.

In the evening, I participated in the Mosuo people's bonfire party. I felt that this kind of party was mainly aimed at tourists, but the Mosuo people's enthusiastic dance still left a deep impression.

What made his son uneasy for a long time in Lugu Lake was the ripples of the lake under the moonlight and the starry sky that his son had never seen when the bus drove around the lake and brought back to the B & B on the dark night.

DAY FIVE

The B & B we stayed in was located on the shores of Lugu Lake in Daluoshui Village. The lake could be seen in the room. Unfortunately, we slept late today and didn't see the sunrise.

This morning was yesterday's bus that took us to take the "pig trough boat" and visit Caohu, the other half of Lugu Lake.

The "pig trough boat" is also known as a canoe, and it gets its name because it is shaped like a long pig trough. This "pig trough boat" is the only means of transportation for the Mosuo people. Sitting in the pig trough boat that my little brother rowed, my heart was as clear as lake water, melted by the lake water.△

White petals and small flowers with yellow stamens cover the water and float with the waves. This is the famous spectacle of Lugu Lake: aquatic poplar flowers. The leaf clusters of aquatic poplar are immersed in the water, and the stems grow very long and thin. This slender stem will send the small white flower far away from its roots and leaves.

Lugu Lake lies quietly in the arms of the mountains, like a star falling into the world. It is so peaceful and particularly bright.

When you come to Lugu Lake to see its clear blue water, you should not miss its grass sea. The Caohai that people talk about daily is the big Caohai in Sichuan, distributed in Yanyuan County, Sichuan Province.

"Caohai" refers to a plateau lake covered with grass. It is a sub-lake of Lugu Lake, and the water of Lugu Lake is connected to it.

The famous walking wedding bridge is located in this Caohai area. It is the "world's number one love bridge" for Mosuo people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. Now it has become a popular check-in spot for tourists visiting Lugu Lake. Everyone hopes to gain love on this bridge.

You can see winding lake roads, lush reeds and grass mats on both sides, wild birds sing low, Yunnan horses are leisurely, the mountains in the distance are winding, and the lake and sky are in the same color, making it very comfortable.

Playing in Lugu Lake requires a lot of leisurely time. You don't waste anything, just waste time.

Until night fell.

DAY SIX

Today is my last day in Lugu Lake. I have to leave in the afternoon. I wake up with the alarm clock in the morning to watch the sunrise.

Although it is midsummer, there is still a trace of chill on the shores of Lugu Lake in the morning light. Holding the camera and staring at the high mountain opposite, the sky gradually turned white. Watching the sun shining out from behind the opposite mountain little by little, I looked at a dazzling small ball jumping into my eyes and couldn't open my eyes. At this time, the lake surface was sparkling.

When the morning sun shone brightly, the lake suddenly became much warmer, and I was reluctant to leave.

Along the lakeside path, I actually saw small flowers that were simple and elegant. I only felt that the little flower was strange. Tourists passing by told me that it was Gesang flowers. No wonder the flowers on the plateau looked cold and aloof.

Gesang flowers bloom in every corner.

DAY SEVEN

The road from Lugu Lake to Shangri-La has not yet been opened, so I returned to Lijiang last night and set off from Lijiang to Shangri-La early this morning.

In the arrangement of the itinerary, the Tiger Leaping Gorge has always been a pain during this itinerary. I can't bear to give up such a majestic attraction, but we took the bus from Lijiang to Shangri-La, and it was inconvenient to go to the Tiger Leaping Gorge halfway. I took the initiative to delete it. Last night at Lijiang B & B, my son saw the promotional picture of Tiger Leaping Gorge and asked me, are we going there? When I said I couldn't go, he was anxious: How could I not go to such an exciting place?! In a hurry, I consulted the owner of a B & B in Shangri-La. I really thank the owner for recommending a popular short trip in Southwest China that is suitable for self-guided tours. I took it to the Tiger Leaping Gorge in one day and then sent it to Shangri-La. The price is very affordable and you can refer to it for free travel.

The Tiger Leaping Gorge is divided into upper, middle and lower tiger jumps. The middle and lower tiger jumps require walking. This is also a world-famous hiking holy place, and it may be difficult for ordinary people to walk down. We mainly played tiger jumping on this trip!

The rushing Jinsha River water is under the canyon, and there is a long wooden path leading to the bottom of the canyon. On the way down, I had no idea what it was, but I had already heard it. The roar of the river shocked the valley.

Up close, look at the tiger-leaping stone that has lasted for hundreds of millions of years, perched in the heart of the river, allowing it to be washed away. It was the loud noise caused by the river water washing the huge stone. The roaring river rushed towards your face, and the surging waves hit the shore. The water splashed, turning into drizzle or light fog, and scattered in all directions.

Suddenly encountering the obstruction of the two snowy mountains of Yulong and Haba, the originally calm and peaceful river water suddenly became furious. The place where the tigers and rocks were entrenched, the river surface was the narrowest. It was only a few dozen meters by visual inspection. It was the place where the rolling river turned, and it was so majestic. The mountains and mountains and hardships cannot stop the Jinsha River from rushing thousands of miles east into the sea. Standing by the river, let the water splash down, piously admire the great power of nature and the master of all things.

Starting from the Tiger Leaping Gorge all the way to Shangri-La, the altitude is getting higher and higher, and the breath is beginning to breathe; but I clearly feel the timelessness, peace and tranquility of Tibetan areas in southwest China. The plateau meadows, dams and lakes under the snowy mountains are extremely bright in the sun. The high and blue sky is like an extremely pure soul and the floating clouds are as white as washed by holy water.

The bus takes us into Shangri-La City, and ends at Shambhala Shilun Mandala. It combines modern architecture and Tibetan architectural styles. It is currently a relatively comprehensive place to introduce Tibetan culture and Tibetan Buddhist culture in Tibetan areas.

The B & B I booked on Ctrip was in the ancient city of Dukezong. Although it was not far away, the young B & B owner still drove enthusiastically to pick us up.

People have been panting a little, especially when going upstairs. The boss told me not to take a shower tonight. But how could we waste this great time in such a heaven! Decided to walk slowly and also went to see the city.

As night falls, leisurely and leisurely, the ancient city of Dukezong will revisit this important town on the ancient tea-horse road. Although the ancient city was burned down and many of them were newly built, the best-preserved and largest Tibetan houses were still reproduced. There is the largest prayer wheel in the ancient city. When you walk into Dukezonghua Lane, you can see traditional craftsmen Tibetan-style painting and Tibetan-style wood carvings.

DAY EIGHT

When I woke up in the morning, I found that the altitude sickness had disappeared and I wouldn't be panting if I took the stairs. Good, because today we still need to go to Pudacuo National Park at a higher altitude.

Pudacuo National Park is my country's first national park. It has typical plateau ecological beauty. It is located in the center of the "Three Rivers Parallel Flow" World Natural Heritage in northwest Yunnan. It consists of the internationally important wetland Bitahai Nature Reserve and the "Three Rivers Parallel Flow" World Natural Heritage The Duhu Scenic Area, which belongs to the Haba area, has an altitude of 3500 meters to 4159 meters.

Pudacuo National Park is 22 kilometers away from the Urban area of Shangri-La City. We took a designated shuttle bus from Shangri-La Bus Station to go there. But it is a pity that even drivers of this shuttle bus from bus stations promote oxygen tanks, down jackets and dried yaks.

Pudacuo National Park basically includes all the natural landscapes on the plateau, including spike-like alpine lakes, pastures with beautiful water and abundant grass, wetlands with blooming flowers, and virgin forests where birds and animals often appear. With Bita Sea, Shudu Lake and Militang Subalpine Ranch as the main components, two beautiful freshwater lakes, Bita Sea and Shudu Lake, are known as the pearls of the plateau. It's a pity that the two most beautiful scenic spots have been closed, leaving only one Yudu Lake Scenic Area to visit. It's a pity.

The scenic bus took us to the Shudu Lake Scenic Area, and then walked around the lake.

Looking from afar, the alpine meadow is particularly delicious after the rain. There are stars and small groups of cattle and sheep distributed on the meadow, making it a beautiful scenery.

There are many ancient bearded trees and many dead trees on the bank of Yudu Lake, which are very beautiful. Those trees that fell naturally have not yet decayed after decades and are very poetic.

Walk on the long, curved plank road that stretches from the wetland into the forest. After the rain, the forest was exceptionally fresh and quiet, and it was not stained with dust. I walked slowly, without looking back or longing for it, just walking without hesitation...

Walking through this trestle filled with prayer flags, I wish my son a safe life.

After returning from Pudacuo National Park in the afternoon, without any altitude sickness, I hurriedly climbed to Guishan Park in the ancient city of Dukezong to turn the world's largest prayer wheel to pray for peace.

Overlooking the ancient city of Dukezong from Guishan Park, the ancient tea-horse ancient road seems to be prosperous again.

The white pagoda in the ancient city has a strong Tibetan style.

In the center of the ancient city, there are several museums worth visiting. They introduce the history of Shangri-La and you can learn about the history and culture of the ancient city of Dukezong.

DAY NINE

In Tibetan areas, you must not miss the holy land of Tibetan Buddhism. In Shangri-La, Songzanlin Temple deserves it.

Songzanlin Temple is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province. It is also one of the famous large temples in Kang District. It is also the center of Yellow Religion in Sichuan and Yunnan. It plays a pivotal position in the entire Tibetan area and is known as the "Little Potala Palace."

The two residential halls of Songzanlin Temple, Zhacang and Jikang, stand high in the center. Eight major Kangshen, monk houses and other buildings are surrounded and guarded, with scattered heights and low levels, advancing layer by layer.

Take the bus and leave in the afternoon. Goodbye, my Shambhala!

DAY TEN

According to the experience of many travelers, climbing the Yulong Snow Mountain requires you to increase the altitude a little after visiting Shangri-La. You will gradually adapt to it. In the end, you will find that climbing more than 100 meters on top of the Yulong Snow Mountain is not so difficult.

Yesterday, I still checked in at a B & B in the Ancient City of Lijiang. I got up early in the morning and picked up my ticket for the Yulong Snow Mountain Grand Cableway at the designated point in the Ancient City of Lijiang (the ticket for the Grand Cableway was booked a month ago, so you must book it early, especially during the summer peak).

You can take a tourist bus directly to the Yulong Snow Mountain at Lijiang Red Sun Square on the edge of the ancient city of Lijiang.

This Red Sun Square is quite nostalgic and reminds people of the years.

Yulong Snow Mountain is one of the first 5A-level tourist attractions in the country. It is a sacred mountain of the Naxi people. The main tourist attractions that have been developed include Glacier Park, Ganhaizi, Lanyue Valley, Yunshanping, Yuniaoping, etc.

Tourist buses take tourists to the distribution center of the scenic area, where you can take the scenic area shuttle bus to various attractions.

We went first to the Blue Moon Valley. 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.

The water in the Blue Moon Valley flows down the cliffs after melting away from the ancient ice and snow from the snowy mountains and glaciers, and continues to gather into mountain streams and streams. Finally, a crystal clear and extremely sweet river is formed in the deep valley in the upper reaches of the Blue Moon Valley. It's like a fairyland.

The pouring snow splashed on his face, making it cool and exciting.

The four sides of the lake are lush with vegetation. The lake water is transparent blue, and in the almost frozen blue, a little green is dotted.

Because the river bed is composed of white limestone, the entire river water appears white luster and appears exceptionally pure, so it is named "Baishui River", backed by snowy peaks in the distance.

Or go back to the scenic area distribution center, take the shuttle bus to the big cableway bus point and set off for Glacier Park.

Take the cable car first to 4506 in the snowy mountains. Maybe you have adapted to this altitude in Shangri-La and have no reaction. There is a large viewing platform here, where you can view this Naxi sacred mountain looming amidst the unpredictable white clouds.

When you come to the snowy mountains, you definitely want to reach the highest point. Although it is only more than 100 meters away from the highest point at 4680, climbing on the plateau is really a challenge. Take your time and don't worry. Although I brought two large bottles of oxygen, I did not take oxygen during the entire journey.

Since it is summer, there is not a single bit of snow on the mountain peak, but the joy of climbing to the top of the mountain has nothing to do with the existence of snow. This may be the pleasure of self-conquest.

Coming down from the snowy mountains, we went to the last attraction-Ganhaizi. It is an open alpine meadow at the foot of the snowy mountains. The terrain is gentle and rises. There are low pine trees scattered on the vast meadow. Under your feet are endless pastures, shaded by vegetation, and from time to time, yaks walk by, giving a scenery of Gaoyuan Ranch.

Here you can see the thirteen peaks of the Yulong Snow Mountain lined up from north to south, especially the main peak with steep fans, like an open fan cutting into the sky.

The reason why I went to Zhongyi Market is because here you can see many Naxi locals dressed in Naxi costumes and eat authentic Lijiang snacks; here you can see the real life in Lijiang.

I can return to the ancient city from Zhongyi Market Market and stay in the ancient city.

Passing through Mufu, this Lijiang Mu's Tusi Yamen is indeed the "Grand View Garden" of Lijiang's ancient city culture.

Come to Dayanhua Lane at the north gate of the ancient city of Lijiang, and take a look at the ancient city of Lijiang from a high point here.

DAY ELEVEN

When you come to the Lijiang Museum, you can truly feel the thousand-year-old traditional Naxi culture-Dongba culture based on the local religion Dongba Religion.

When we left Lijiang in the evening, it was already drizzling.

DAY TWELVE

The purpose of visiting Kunming is to eat authentic crossing the bridge rice noodles. Qiaoxiang Garden Rice Noodle Store in Jinma Biji Shop does not give up. As we arrived early, we were the first guests in the store.

I am still not very interested in rice noodles, but there are so many plates of rice noodles here and poured them into the boiling rice noodle soup, which feels very ceremonial.

After completing its purpose in Kunming, the high-speed rail went straight to Guiyang, the core of the trip, feeling that the early trip to Yunnan was a foil.

If I want to be closer to the Guiyang Gymnasium where Lin Junjie's performance is hosted, I booked an apartment hotel in Guiyang New District on Ctrip, which is a good value for money. Guiyang is now a national-level big data industry development cluster. Guiyang New District gave me a big surprise who has been to Guiyang before!

I can't wait to cross the Chongqing New District into the old urban area. Compared with the past, the Laocheng District also has many high-rise buildings, but the strong flavor of life can not stop it.

Looking at the Jiaxiu Building on the Nanming River in Guiyang, there were many people. Like urban buildings in many places today, they were not very special.

DAY THIRTEEN

When I came to Guizhou ten years ago, I have been to Qianlingshan Park and Huangguoshu Waterfall. Huangguoshu Waterfall is worthy of being a tourist attraction, and Qianlingshan Park can only laugh. I couldn't go to Huangguoshu Waterfall this time. Qianling Mountain Park is in the center of the city. I wanted to take my son around casually and at least feel the mountains and rivers of Guizhou. However, I didn't expect my son to give a high evaluation of the scenery of Qianling Mountain. It seems that radishes and greens each have his own love.

When writing travel notes, I looked through the photos and found that this "No. 1 Mountain in Southern Guizhou" is indeed surrounded by mountains and dense forests and clear lake water. I think that Guizhou's mountains and rivers are valuable in nature and are not carved.

The Guizhou Province Museum is built in the New District of Guiyang. It is a bit unique in appearance, but it feels bony in content.

Tonight is the last night of our trip, and it is also the night when our son is happiest. By the way, the concert has started, and I didn't go in to watch the performance. It felt a little worth it. This is probably the generation gap. But I went to the entrance of the concert stadium, and there was a crowd of people, full of handsome and beautiful girls.

My aunt quietly ordered a special snack of Guiyang-bean rice in a small restaurant. Don't mention it, the more delicious it became.
