Lijiang ancient city

Day1--Flying from Chengdu to Lijiang, wandering around Dayan Ancient Town

The original 6:45 plane didn't take off until 10:00 due to Chengdu's disappointing foggy weather. After a 1 hour and 05-minute flight, it arrived at Lijiang Sanyi Airport (where Air China complained about it, and a bottle of mineral water was issued for the entire flight. It was still a 4-hour delay.) Our good mood was not beautiful at all because of the flight delay in the morning and the light rain in Lijiang, but this was just a minor incident. Lijiang welcomed us with sunshine in the afternoon.

I roasted a suckling pig and looked at it with drool! A Fei said he could help us get one when we come back, haha! In fact, that night, I came out to borrow something from Ah Fei. I successfully ate a suckling pig and chatted with Ah Fei for a long time.

About travel, about Xizang, about Nepal! A Fei, who has a lot of knowledge about travel, gave me great encouragement. The story of a backpacker. I think it was my dream! After everything was finalized, the few of us ladies never forgot to repeatedly ask Ah Fei to help us arrange handsome guys to lead the team because they knew that their physical strength was weak.

In the afternoon, we really started our leisurely life in the ancient town.

Remember in front of the cafe at the highest point in Dayan Ancient Town, but unfortunately I don't have time to go in and sit down. Next time!!

The sky is clear and my mood is so good! How relaxed I was, I finally walked to the "landmark building" of Dayan Ancient Town and took a photo without exception.

Meili Snow Mountain

Day2-Start at 8 a.m. and head to Meili Snow Mountain and arrive at 7 p.m.

In the early morning, we ushered in the sunshine of Lijiang, and the club leader called to wake us up! Luggage, large and small, are gathered at the Free Life Base Camp and ready to set out for Meili Snow Mountain (PS: Dayan Ancient Town is full of uneven stone roads, and hauling luggage is a very difficult task, dear. Remember, remember) Yeah, ready to leave, waiting for our handsome team leader at the club!!!

Finally, we began our trip to the Meili Snow Mountain. First, we had to pass through the first bay of the Yangtze River, which had an ordinary scenery.

The first condition for traveling to Yunnan is to be able to take a car, because the distance between attractions is very long and the mountain roads are steep. However, if you want to see the most beautiful scenery, what is the price?

Then we started our riding career all the way!!!

At 2 p.m., we finally arrived at Benzilan and had a brief "lunch". We were told by the yak leader that there was heavy snow on Baimang Snow Mountain and we might not be able to reach Meili Snow Mountain. My mood is so ups and downs!!! In various discussions

It is rare for Chengdu girls to see snow. They are not afraid of altitude reaction and all go crazy.

Our invincible energetic handsome team leader-Yak! Club hooligans really didn't trick us ~ Thank you Brother Fei! Hehe!

Finally, we successfully crossed the Baimang Snow Mountain. The weather began to get worse and worse. The fog, the rugged mountain road and the snowball fight just now gave us a little bit of "altitude reaction".

During a period of dizziness, we arrived at the Meili Snow Mountain Scenic Area. The first thing to welcome us was Moon Bay. The weather was bad and the shooting effect was limited. In fact,

The women have adapted to the plateau climate and are starting to go crazy again

After the team leader's endless calls, we reluctantly got on the car and continued to advance towards Meili Snow Mountain. The weather is getting worse and worse at this time, and you can feel the cold air while sitting in the car. We can only sigh at the changeable climate of the plateau.

"We finally arrived at Meili Snow Mountain!!" "Where is the snowy mountain?" This was our conversation when we first arrived at Meili Snow Mountain. Looking at your watch, it's nearly 7 o'clock in the evening. Coupled with the fog, how could the snowy mountains show up? We returned to the hotel resentfully, praying for tomorrow

mingyong Glacier

Day3--Hiking on Mingyong Glacier

Today, the team leader finally let us sleep until we woke up naturally. At 9:30, we officially started to head for the Mingyong Glacier on the Meili Snow Mountain. But how can we let down this beautiful morning? Maybe our prayers yesterday were effective. Although we didn't see Rizhao Jinshan, at least today we saw the full picture of Meili Snow Mountain first.

The goddess of luck has really cared for us time and time again. This is just the beginning. However, the following hiking on Mingyong Glacier made us all tired and collapsed. We can only say that we were in pain and happy.

Before reaching Mingyong Glacier, there are good scenery along the road.

The mist is shrouded in clouds and mist, and it is only 85KM away from Xizang. It is simply spiritual torture for us who have always had a dream of Xizang

At first, I became more and more familiar with the yak leader, but when I arrived at Mingyong Glacier, I almost felt the importance of "good relations" now.

After lunch, today's highlight is finally coming! It is also the most hard-working part of the journey. It was a total of 20 kilometers of hiking up and down. The yak kept telling us on the car,"Do it yourself. Anyway, I'm tired and collapsed. You can ride mules below and climb the glacier." We have always been fearless of everything. How could we listen to this warning? We are energetic and energetic. Tell him,"We ourselves

Let's start hiking on the glacier, and everyone's laughing, okay! Look back.

After walking for less than 20 minutes, we began to lose strength... Plateau reaction. Because of the rain the day before, the roads became more and more difficult to walk, and many of the roads were horse roads. You can imagine the "dirty mess". The process was bloody, so how could we have the mood to take pictures on the way? Now thinking about our actions on the way, we could only crawl, push, pull, scream... All kinds of strange appearances are unbearable to look back on.

It was completely pulled up and pushed up by the team leader. What a shame!!! Helpless in the city

The "dragging children" took a group photo with the leader yak!!

Finally, all of them reached the summit, and the group members took a group photo happily

It's not so much that we won the summit, but rather that the yak won the victory of getting rid of us, who are a few drag children. His mood is extremely relaxed at this moment!! Alas, it seems that we are only more energetic when taking pictures.

After 3 hours of hiking, we were only more than 200 meters away from Mingyong Glacier. It was the first time we watched the glacier so close, and the hardships on the road disappeared until the team leader said,"Come on, it's almost time to go."

Shangri-La

Day4--Meili Snow Mountain-Shangri-La-Songzanlin Temple

At 6:50, I got up early and drew open the curtains with the "gift" left to me by the "Mingyong Glacier" yesterday. Wow!!! The Meili Snow Mountain was fully played in front of me, but the most exciting Rizhao Jinshan had not yet begun. After having breakfast with my friends, I vaguely heard the commotion in the hotel corridor. Could it be? We began to forget the warning against running on the plateau again, and ran wildly all the way...

No matter what altitude sickness, everything is worth it!!

PS: Because we are all lazy girls, we can't carry or walk. All the photos along the way were taken by mobile phones. Those who like photography, remember to bring a SLR. Anyway, we have let down this beautiful scenery.

It's a mess of beauty ~~ The magic craftsmanship of nature

Speaking of which, in Tibetan areas, there is a saying,"Only those who are lucky can see the Rizhao Jinshan Mountain of Meili Snow Mountain." It seems that although we are weak, we can still be considered lazy!!! Hahaha, among all kinds of arrogance

Slowly, the Meili Snow Mountain began to turn white. The time for the "Golden Mountain" was only 20 minutes. Everyone cheered when they could see the Rizhao Golden Mountain. What was the fatigue of the boat and the carriage was gone in an instant

There were blue skies and white clouds laughing along the way. After walking through the white snowy mountains again, I suddenly realized that we were just passers-by here. Fortunately, everything here will become our most beautiful memories.

After a morning of "car tour", Shangri-La decisively welcomed us with sunshine.

The afternoon itinerary is Songzanlin Monastery-Little Potala Palace, which is a prelude to our trip to Xizang!

Pray for blessings, why did you suddenly think of your past and present life at that moment

Forget it, we had a "Guozhuang" dance in Moonlight Square

What cheeky women

Another day's trip is over. Back at the hotel, let's guess what we're going to do? I believe you understand!

Shuhe ancient town

Today, I have a free day to clear up my mood and prepare to return to my familiar city. We chose Shuhe, which is quieter than Dayan Ancient Town. Strolling around the small shops on the street, when you are tired, sit down to drink a cup of Pu 'er, eat delicious food, sit on the roadside and listen to songs, and be in a daze... Look through the photos of the past few days. This is the power of silence. Be careful when you are so calm, you may see your best self in a certain moment

Shuhe Ancient Town also had the best meal of the trip. It was a delicious meal. The four of us smiled from ear to ear. We liked it so much. Why do we like the food in this restaurant so much? While eating the food, we listened to it. Music, sitting near the window, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, I feel like this is life! This is the life I want to pursue!

Friends who are in Lijiang sincerely recommend everyone to eat at this restaurant. It is delicious and inexpensive, the service is good, and the experience is great. I support it!

No matter how beautiful a trip is, there will always be an end. This trip came calmly and ended calmly. However, the madness, surprise, fatigue, and stunning can only be understood by those who have experienced it in a down-to-earth manner. The journey I once expected is now over. I always believe that a trip will leave something more or less in people's hearts no matter what... After leaving, I will come again. Thank you for meeting you, Fei Fei, yak, master, sisters ~~
