Yunnan is a place I have been longing for a long time, and it finally takes place this autumn. Because it was my first time to go there, I still chose the classic Kundali route. Along the way, the scenery is beautiful, the sky is so blue, the water is so clear, and the wind is so soft. Walking on the road, the whole person feels comfortable. The last stop in Yunnan was Lugu Lake. Because I didn't want to go back, I chose to fly directly to Chongqing and transfer back to Qingdao. Since it's about to turn around, how can we not go shopping in the new Internet celebrity city? Hot pot, skewers, noodles, two Taurus expressed no regrets on this trip.

The older I get, the more I love memories. I force myself to write this travel note, hoping that when I flip it out in the future, I can still find the comfort at that time.

Mobile phone party throughout the entire process, and I won't be able to revise the pictures, so I'll just take a look, two photos from each location:

Overview of Chongqing's itinerary

On the evening of October 18, Qingdao flew to Kunming;
On October 19, a one-day trip to Kunming City;
On October 20, Kunming-Dali (bullet train) in the morning, Dali Ancient City in the afternoon;
On October 21, we traveled around the Erhai Lake;
On October 22, Dali-Lijiang (bus) in the morning, and Lijiang's eternal love in the afternoon;
On October 23, in the morning, in the ancient city of Lijiang, after lunch, we went to Dazu in Lugu Lake;
On October 24, travel around Lugu Lake;
On October 25, Lugu Lake flew to Chongqing in the morning and went to Chongqing in the afternoon;
On October 26, we will continue to visit and eat in Chongqing;
On October 27, we will continue to shop and eat, and fly from Chongqing to Qingdao in the evening.

There are 9 days of holidays in total. Because we still have to go to Chongqing, the schedule for the first few days is relatively tight. However, because every place is in the mood of strolling and is not rushing to find Internet celebrity attractions, the overall feeling is good. The two spent just over 10,000 yuan on the whole journey, including a ticket from Lugu Lake to Chongqing.

vests

Yunnan is sunnier, drier, and has a greater temperature difference than I imagined! I had a fever and a sore throat on the night I arrived. I caught a cold the next day. I recovered on the day I returned (what kind of luck was this...) Therefore, please pay more attention, especially don't underestimate the low temperatures in the morning and evening. Even indoors, you can catch a cold. During the day at the end of October, you can still wear a skirt if you are not afraid of the cold. People like me who are afraid of the cold need at least a T-shirt + a thin coat. At night in Lugu Lake, you basically need a sweater + light down + a scarf. Therefore, when you go to Yunnan in autumn, you must prepare clothes from thin to thick. When you go to Lugu Lake in Lijiang, Dali, you will see more and more dresses and large scarves. As for shoes, it's better to make comfortable flat shoes. The ancient cities of Dali and Lijiang are both stone roads, and you will cry when you wear high heels.

food

Because of the cold, the food we ate was relatively light all the way in Yunnan, so it may not be very representative. Pick a few impressive ones and recommend it:

Kunming:

Mushroom rice noodles/rolled flour and mushroom chicken hot pot are the best choices for light meals! The rice noodles are at a roadside shop randomly selected by the lake. I feel that the more this kind of shop, the more delicious it will be;

Kunming Cuihu Park

Dali:

Mabang Restaurant was recommended by the innkeeper. It is very close to the South Gate Passenger Station of the ancient city. It has wild mushroom hot pot and stir-fried dishes. It is the first time in my life to try tree bark and flowers. The taste is very special.? This was mixed. Later, I ate fried tree bark and tree flowers at Zhao Lei's Jim's Restaurant. It was also quite delicious.

Jim's Restaurant is said to be owned by Zhao Lei, so he chased him here after chasing stars. The decoration style is what I like. I can listen to my little brother singing while eating. If I eat, the price is good, but the drinks are more expensive?

Lijiang:

Ama's preserved ribs are indeed affordable and delicious. There are many preserved ribs shops in Lijiang. Please look for Ama's preserved ribs.?

Lugu Lake:

Good people's snacks, traveling around Lugu Lake If you go to Goddess Bay, please be sure to eat good people's snacks."Dear Inn" has also visited, 40 yuan per person, buffet style, only two dishes: chicken stewed with matsutake and fish soup with matsutake. It is simply the most delicious soup I have ever tasted. The owner was very enthusiastic. It was indeed a "good person" who didn't escape. I felt that these two dishes were really done to the extreme! The dip was prepared by the boss himself, with matsutake added to it. The scene saw flags and photos of many outdoor teams across the country. Sure enough, people who play outdoors are always so sensitive to food.

Fish flavor, recommended by the innkeeper in Dazu, Lugu Lake. The specialty is paper-wrapped fish, which tastes great!

At the barbecue stall at Lovers Beach, the weather was very good on the afternoon when we arrived at Lugu Lake. I couldn't wait to go to Lovers Beach (the one near Dazu) to watch the sunset. The scenery was super beautiful. A couple set up a small barbecue stall and slowly grilled it over charcoal on low heat. They ate a roasted sausage and small fish from Lugu Lake. It was very delicious! The couple were very talkative and even gave us local walnuts. Later, when I traveled around Lugu Lake, I could see many barbecue stalls at every scenic spot, but without the "scene" at that time, the taste changed.?

Chongqing:

Yuzong Hotpot. The first meal I arrived in Chongqing was this hot pot. Local friends took it there. It was really authentic. I timidly chose Yuanyang pot, but ended up eating spicy pot almost the entire time because it was really delicious! Chongqing hot pot must be served with oily dishes. If you are not afraid of spicy food, you can choose dry dishes. It's so cool! Recommend rice eel, goose intestines, etc.?

Li Chuanchuan old store, near Jiefang Monument, highly recommended! The slightly spicy food I ordered directly this time is really delicious! Beef liver and tender meat slices must be ordered, and beef with pickled pepper is also very delicious. Next to it is a lime market plum string store, which is a bit misleading and is said to have just opened this year.

Chongqing noodles, please stroll around the street after 11 p.m. to find a small noodle restaurant where locals will enter. Ask for a night of mixed noodles and you will be amazing.?

2. Kunming City: Park Su, 185/night.
The best thing about this B & B is its location. It is within three minutes 'walk to Yunnan University, Cuihu and other places. The community is an old community, next to the Yunnan Province Song and Dance Theater. It is said that Yang Liping once lived in this community. The building is very dilapidated, but fortunately the B & B is clean and exquisite, so it is not bad. Next to it is Yuanxi Road Snack Street, which is also very convenient for eating.

3. Dali Ancient City: Enjoy the fragrance, 99/night.
I didn't choose to live in the ancient city because I was afraid of noise and I was afraid of dragging boxes around. This inn is outside the south gate of the ancient city. It is within a 10-minute walk to the south gate, which is within the acceptable range. It is also very close to the bus terminal, which is about 5 minutes 'walk, which makes it convenient for us to get to Lijiang. The house is very clean and beautiful. We were lucky to live in the most beautiful room in the entire inn (I think it is). It is on the second floor, with super large windows on both sides. You can overlook Cangshan from lying in bed. It is very comfortable! There is a small public space on the third floor where you can drink and watch the stars at night. It is very comfortable. The lady boss is enthusiastic and cheerful and will give a lot of reliable suggestions.?

4. Ancient City of Lijiang, Petal Inn, 110/night.
Like Dali, I also choose to live outside the south gate of the ancient city. It takes less than two minutes to walk to the south gate. The free special bus stop to Lijiang Qiangqing is right in front of the inn. Opposite it is the delicious "Ama's preserved ribs". There is also a large supermarket with a great location! We lived on the second floor. The room was large and clean. There was a stream outside the window and the water was very clear. There are huge public spaces on the first and second floors where you can drink tea, eat fruit, swing, and most importantly, you can massage dogs and cats! The boss and the boss wife are a couple who know how to live well, and it is very comfortable to chat!?

5. Lugu Lake, nothing to live in, 192/night.
The inn is located in Dazu, in Sichuan, rather than the popular Dalushui, Lige, etc. It is farther away whether it is from Lijiang or from Ninglang Airport. However, I still chose this place without hesitation. There is only one reason. The inn owner is so good and reliable! Not only did he recommend a reliable carpool from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, and recommended a reliable chartering master to travel around Lugu Lake, he also took us to see the invincible starry sky galaxy. The people were also very enthusiastic! Although the inn is not a lake-view room (a lake-view room is much more expensive, and I prefer to walk to the lake to experience the lake for myself), it only takes one minute to walk from the inn to the lake, and the facilities in the house are complete. The boss carefully prepared millet humidifier, millet slightly and other equipment. One day it was raining lightly. I made a pot of tartary wheat tea given by the boss, ate apples given by the boss, and bananas brought from Lijiang, and listened to the music, which made me feel so comfortable. Moreover, the bedding is super comfortable. I feel that this is the inn that has spent the most effort and effort to decorate it with Grandpa Mao. I strongly recommend it!?

6. B & B near Jiefangbei, Chongqing, 178/night.
The B & B is very clean and looks very fresh in the wind. The landlord put a lot of lights in the room and they turn them on very beautifully. The room is also quite big and the layout is very comfortable. My husband said it feels like home. The location is great. Whether it is the subway station, Jiefangbei, Hongyadong or the third trail, you can walk to it, which is very convenient. The landlord was very considerate and also placed two subway cards, which answered all questions and were all very reliable recommendations. He also helped store luggage. It was very cool!?

row

You can choose to go there by bullet train. It takes 2 hours. The fare is about 140 per person. It is fast and safe. The scenery along the way is also very good. Remember to choose Kunming Station.

Dali Railway Station-Dali Ancient City, you can choose to take a taxi, about 40 yuan, or you can choose public transportation. The price is 3 yuan/person on the right side of the train station, which is the legendary No. 8 bus; the price is 5 yuan/person on the left side of the station. There seem to be more stops, but there are not many parking spaces, and they will be sold out in a short time. The last time we called for Didi, the driver recommended that he take his car around the Erhai Lake...

Around the Erhai Lake, I was traveling around the Erhai Lake on Ctrip and bikego's 4+2 tour, which means carpooling + cycling, 268 people per person, a total of 6 people in one car. Highly recommended! The two rides, totaling about 15 kilometers, are both beautiful. On the coast of Erhai, you ride along the newly built Cangshan Avenue and pass Dali University. On the coast of Erhai, you ride close to the Erhai Lake. The weather is good. Especially beautiful! The team leader is also very reliable. The local Bai people do not recommend shopping, answer all questions, and also help take good photos. Later, a girl she met in Lugu Lake said that she and her friend spent only 400 yuan on a chartered car around the Erhai Lake in Dali, but they were taken to a shooting site where the sky mirror was photographed. It cost 200 yuan per person, 10 photos, and the pictures were not retouched. It's just too embarrassing!
I don't really recommend electric cars. I saw two girls 'electric cars running out of power on the road and were pushing them away.

Dali-Lijiang, because it is very close to Dali Passenger Station, chose the official bus. It takes three hours and costs 80 yuan/person. The seven-seater commercial bus will be faster, it takes two hours and costs about 100 yuan.

Lijiang has an everlasting love. There are free special buses in the scenic area, several specific routes and stops at several specific points. You can ask the innkeeper for details.

Lijiang-Lugu Lake Dazu, the innkeeper of Lugu Lake helped book a car. There are 100 people one way by carpool. The delivery is point-to-point. The price is acceptable. The key is that it is reliable enough! The girl she met at Lugu Lake said that the car she was riding had a round-trip trip to 100 people, but the whole trip was promoting the next day's tour around the lake. The driver saw that they were not interested, so he immediately lost his temper and drove on the eighteen bends of the mountain road. It was scary!

For a tour around Lugu Lake, I chose a chartered car at 300 per day. It was very comfortable to play. Electric vehicles were not recommended. The power was basically not enough, and some roads had quite steep slopes. If you have enough time, you can take a walk on foot. This time I also took a pig trough boat from Caohai to Dear Inn, 150 people per person, and it took about an hour and a half. Although Dear Inn has nothing to see, it is still very good to paddle on the lake. You can feel up close how clear the water of Lugu Lake is. At the end of October, red-billed gulls have already flown over from Siberia one after another. There are many on the lake, which is also a scene.

Lugu Lake Dazu-Ninglang Airport, chartered for 300 yuan. If you can find a carpool partner, it will be the best. It takes nearly an hour and a half. If you choose to live in popular places such as Daluoshui, you can take the airport bus. For the latest routes and times, you can refer to the public account "Lugu Lake Airport Express". Our partner who carpooled with us was going to fly to Chengdu, but the flight was cancelled two or three days in advance, and we had to temporarily change it to Chongqing. The other person carpooling was the owner of an inn in Dazu, a native of Chongqing. He said that flights to Chengdu were often cancelled for reference. In addition, flights from Lugu Lake to Chongqing are not available every day, so plan in advance.

Local transportation in Chongqing: walking (I feel that the navigation on Baidu maps is okay, but I still need to ask more), light rail, taxi rides (According to local friends, Didi is a little more expensive than taxis, and taxi drivers are old drivers and very nice. Recommended)

The broken account will leave on October 18

The two immediately picked up their luggage and rushed to the airport when they got home from work, officially starting our trip to Yunnan + Chongqing.

The plane took off at 8:40 and landed in Kunming after nearly 3 hours. The hostess of the inn near the airport had already waited outside the airport. After arriving, she quickly washed up and went to bed.

One-day trip to Kunming City on October 19

The last inn we stayed in was in a village called Yanjiazhuang near the airport. My husband and I particularly hoped to experience more local customs and customs during our trip, so we strolled into the village. The houses in the village were mainly yellow, and we also saw old-fashioned tractors and old grandfathers carrying bamboo baskets. The villagers were very simple and enthusiastic. They lost their way in the middle, walked into a household to ask for directions, and were even invited to watch them slaughter sheep.

Back at the inn, the landlady was already preparing our breakfast: spicy meat sauce was added to the noodles, and some leeks and mint leaves that had just been picked from the yard. The first meal in Yunnan was very delicious! The small courtyard of the inn is very beautiful and has all kinds of meat. Yunnan is really a place suitable for growing meat.?

After taking a bath after dinner, we asked the innkeeper to drive us to the airport, then took the subway to the city, and then took a taxi to the B & B. After putting down my luggage, I went to Yuanxi Road Snack Street next to the B & B. I ate flower cakes and roasted pig's trotters. I accidentally walked into a restaurant in Guiyang and settled my lunch. Love potato rice! The rice is all shiny and oily, and there are many folded ears, also known as houttuynia cordata, in the mix. Later, it was discovered that Yunnan prefers this seasoning, which northerners may not be used to it.?

After lunch, I walked into Yunnan University opposite.
Yun Da was built by Tang Jiyao, the boss of the Republic of Yunnan, and it is a very suitable place to take photos. The light red exterior wall of Huize Courtyard, the 95-step steps representing the "Ninth Five-Year Supreme", and the golden Ginkgo Avenue are all good places loved by young literary and artistic people... The weather was particularly good that day and the temperature was right, so you can take photos with your fingertips. Favorite photos.?

Coming out from the south gate of Yunnan University and walking along Cuihu Lake, you can walk to the former site of the Army Lecture Hall in ten minutes. Yunnan Army Lecture Martial Hall is a famous military academy. It was originally a military school established in the Qing Dynasty to organize and train a new army and strengthen border defense. It was opened in 1909. Together with the Beiyang Army Lecture Hall (Tianjin) founded in 1906 and the Northeast Lecture Hall (Fengtian) founded in 1908, they are called the three major Lecture Hall. We were lucky to catch the change of guard ceremony. After watching it, we visited the Lecture Hall, where we could quickly understand the historical background at that time. The playground behind is very beautiful, with blue skies, white clouds, green trees and yellow walls. Many local people are walking here, just to sit and rest.

After coming out of Jianwu Hall, we decided to go to Kunming Old Street for a walk. We still walked there and just followed Baidu navigation. On the way, I passed the magnificent Wuhua District government and a local bird trading market. I saw many carrier pigeons.?

The old neighborhoods in Kunming include Wenmiao Zhi Street, Jingxing Street and Qianwang Street, which are very suitable for shopping and eating? I bought grilled tofu at a small shop called "Three Pieces and One Chiu", which is delicious with dipping ingredients.

Tired after a day of strolling, I walked into a place called "Rule Teahouse" to drink tea. The boss is from Beijing and has been in Kunming for many years. I spent 98 yuan to buy a set meal for two. The boss recommended Shengpu, a plate of peanuts and melon seeds, and two home-baked flower cakes. It felt better than Jiahua's, and could eat obvious petals. It wouldn't be sweet?

After eating mushroom hot pot in the evening, I went back to sleep. Yunnan's mushrooms are really delicious and have many varieties, but they have to be boiled for 20 minutes before they can start eating to prevent poisoning. The store will also keep samples for preservation.

I rode a shared bicycle back to the B & B and bought some local fruits on the way. I might have picked them badly, but I didn't think they were very delicious.

Go to Dali on October 20

When I was checking the guide before, I saw that Cuihu Park was the most popular park No. 1 for locals, so I decided to go for a stroll before setting off for Dali. (I heard from friends that Xishan Park is also very good, but it is far away from the city so I passed it. Friends who have enough time can consider it.)
The weather was fine yesterday. I passed by Cuihu Park from Yunnan University to the Army Lecture Hall. I only glanced at a corner and felt it was very beautiful. It felt like the years were peaceful. Today may be too early, there are more clouds, but it's a different flavor.
There are many local people in the park early in the morning. There are all kinds of morning exercises, comparable to the Temple of Heaven, some people who walk, and some people who write with water. It was enjoyable to see all kinds of southern trees, and I also saw black swans and white swans.?

These pictures above were taken yesterday when the weather was fine.
The following pictures were taken early this morning.

After eating a bowl of rice noodles and rolled noodles at a breakfast stall next to Cuihu, he took a taxi and headed straight to Kunming Station. Kunming Station is not far from where I live, and it takes less than 20 minutes to get there by taxi. There is no need to pick up the ticket and directly swipe your ID card to enter. Kunming is still very advanced on this point. The scenery on the road from Kunming to Dali is beautiful and many tunnels will be drilled. Listening to "Go to Dali" and eating fruit, we arrived quickly.
It took less than half an hour to take a taxi from the station to reach the south gate of Dali Ancient City. Check-in quickly. First, I lay on the bed overlooking Cangshan Mountain and rested for a while. Then I went out to find food. I went to the "Mabang Restaurant" recommended by the landlady and ordered a mixed tree flower bark, a scrambled egg with pepper, and a bacon platter. The kimchi made by the owner was fresh, spicy and refreshing, and very delicious?

After walking for a few minutes, I reached the south gate of the ancient city, took a photo of "Visiting here", and followed the crowd into the city. The city is very lively. There are various small shops on both sides of the street. The atmosphere is very commercial, but it is not the type we like. In addition, it is a little sunburnt during the day and the landlady said it would be more lively at night, so we decided to go back to the inn to sleep first and come back.

I slept until six o'clock, and it was already dark. My obsession with Zhao Lei's "Jim's Restaurant" urged me to get up and head to the ancient city again.

After entering the ancient city after the second time, it was indeed a lot more lively at night, and the clerk worked harder than during the day. He followed the navigation and walked all the way to the restaurant and passed by Dabing's cabin? I also passed by a school (there is actually a school in such a lively ancient city. Can children still study in peace of mind).

The entrance to Jim's Restaurant is in a small alley. There is a TV at the intersection, playing Zhao Lei's "Jim's Restaurant" on a loop. I was "stopped" by the singing. I like the decoration style very much and the staff are very friendly.

When I left the east gate of the ancient city, there was a relatively large supermarket at the entrance. I went in and bought yogurt, beer, white wine, and peanuts. I planned to go back to the inn and watch the stars and the moon on the rooftop.

The night was really beautiful that night, with a large cloud hanging across it, and the wind blowing in and changing.

On October 21, beside the Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain, you were by my side

Yesterday, bikego's 4+2 Tour of Erhai Lake. 4 and 2 refer to the number of wheels, that is, a car with 4 wheels + a bicycle with 2 wheels. Today is a chartered car + a car tour around the Erhai Lake.


The team leader took many photos of this kind of pose, and everyone was neat and handsome. Pick one that didn't show up and put it up?

During the photo taking process, a local man happened to pass by holding a fat golden retriever. The dog lover immediately started to masturbate. The dog really cooperated, so take a photo?

While riding, we passed a place called "Dali's Small Courtyard", which should be a publicity project of a real estate company. There was a large lawn and some photo props, so we stopped to play?

After the first ride, we arrived at the beautiful Dali University. The school is very big and the scenery is beautiful. We were already very happy only in one "Lovers Lake".

The next stop is Pastoral Highway, a place where a large area can be made. In autumn, the rice fields are already yellow, coupled with blue sky and white clouds, a full pastoral atmosphere comes to your face. A pair of friends in the team who were preparing to get married directly entered the rice field with their SLRs.

The team leader will take photos for us very seriously. The following is taking a "road movie" for our friends, and the last two are taking photos for my husband and I. They are very great!?

Stay in Xizhou Ancient Town at noon and settle for lunch. The team leader paid for us to buy two Xizhou cakes, one for each sweet and salty. They both tasted good and felt like very special dough cakes. Walking straight along the main road, you can eat all the way, and you also bumped into the antique Xizhou Primary School?

Because I had a cold, I didn't dare to eat much. I walked to the small square of the ancient town and ate a bowl of rice noodles and rice dumplings.

On the way to the gathering point after dinner, I ran into the round house and yellow wall owned by Internet celebrities. What luck!

On the way from Xizhou Ancient Town to Shuanglang, you will pass by the northernmost tip of the Erhai Lake. There are green algae everywhere you can see. Before I came here, I saw many people sharing that the pollution of the Erhai Lake was still quite serious. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I really feel sorry. It is said that it has been rectified for several years and has not continued to deteriorate. When shopping around the ancient city, we basically only provide nonwoven cloth bags, hoping that the environment will get better and better.

The photos below were taken near the Double Corridor Observation Deck?

At about 3 p.m., we started the second leg of the ride. The 8-kilometer journey is basically close to the east coast of Erhai, and we are lucky enough to encounter cloudy weather. We don't have to get the sun, but we can also see the light of Jesus and the sparkling water.

Dali

The end of the 8-kilometer ride also represents the end of today's tour around the Erhai Lake. The team leader helped our group of six people take a big picture along the Erhai Lake, and even gave each of us an apple? (Magic camera software)?

At around 6 p.m., we returned to the ancient city and ended a fulfilling day's journey. Although he had a runny nose and coughing all the time and was so tired that he started to have a fever at night, he was still glad for his choice, thanked for his persistence, and truly saw what Erhai Lake looked like.

I first met Lijiang on October 22, starting from a performance

Today is a day of rest.

I woke up naturally in the morning. After checking out, I walked to the passenger terminal to buy a ticket, then had brunch nearby, and took the 10:30 bus to Lijiang. After nearly 3 hours 'drive, we arrived in Lijiang. The inn is very close to the passenger terminal, so you can get there within the starting price of a taxi.

Arrived at the inn at about 2 o'clock. The inn was very beautiful and the owner was very enthusiastic. He was afraid that we would be hungry and gave us two freshly baked flower cakes and a string of bracelets as a souvenir.

The boss raised a dog and a cat. The dog was called a hero, and the cat was called never lost. They were both very close to people and competed for each other's favor. Dog lovers are online again. They put down their luggage and rub their dogs first before going to have lunch?

At the boss's recommendation, I went to eat delicious and affordable grandma's preserved ribs, and then went to the supermarket to buy some fruits.

The weather was very good today and the sun was abundant, so I borrowed the boss's washing machine to wash my clothes. During this period, she and her husband were drinking yogurt and eating fruits on the second-floor platform, stroking dogs, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, and listening to the flowing water of the creek. It was so comfortable.

The only itinerary today is Lijiang's eternal love.

Lijiang Eternal Love is a large-scale live-action performance produced by Songcheng Performing Arts. It is one of the Eternal Love series and is said to be a must-see performance in a lifetime. When making the guide, I wanted to go to Lijiang from the Ctrip Newspaper Group, but because I was not sure when I would arrive in Lijiang, I didn't book in advance. After arriving at the inn, I consulted the owner and found that it was not so troublesome to go to Lijiang Ancient Love. It was cheaper to ask him to book tickets for Lijiang Ancient Love than online (260 per person). Moreover, there is a free shuttle bus at the entrance of the inn that can go directly to the scenic spot. It takes more than half an hour. Attached is the performance schedule sent to me by the boss for reference. When we watched the third scene, we missed the free "Lijiang Love Song" and "Great Earthquake".

Lijiang Eternal Love is not just a performance, but also a scenic spot covering a large area. You can stroll around the scenic spot before/after the performance.

There is a big screen at the ticket office of the scenic spot, playing real-time surveillance. We stood next to the virtual astronaut and left a photo?

The scenic spot is basically a place to go and eat, where you can have snacks for dinner.

There is a large artificial lake in the scenic area, and the night view is quite beautiful?

Lijiang's eternal love is still worth seeing. It makes full use of modern technology, and every scene has a small surprise. There is a video interview with the general director before the opening ceremony. Can you get a general understanding of the background?

Attach a few pictures I found online to get a rough feel?

A small tip: The seat height difference in the theater is average. Unless we buy a ticket early and sit very far forward, our vision will basically be blocked by countless people. So later we ran directly to the uninhabited area on the side + behind, although it was farther away., but when no one was blocking it, we could see more attentively.

After the performance, you can take the free special bus back to the ancient city with your ticket, but you need to queue up.

On October 23, I was glad I didn't miss the Ancient City of Lijiang

Because I wanted to leave more time for Lugu Lake, I originally planned to stay in Lijiang for only one day yesterday, but I planned to leave for Lugu Lake at around 9 a.m. today. But because I slept in yesterday, it was almost 2 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived in Lijiang. I wanted to see the performance of Lijiang's Eternal Love, so I didn't go to Lijiang Ancient City in the afternoon. In fact, after the ancient city of Dali, expectations for the ancient city are no longer high. However, the ancient city of Lijiang is after all one of the two ancient cities in China that have successfully declared the entire ancient city for a World Cultural Heritage. It would be inappropriate not to visit it. So last night, it was temporarily decided to visit the ancient city this morning and leave for Lugu Lake at noon.

I asked the innkeeper in advance that the Wanggu Tower on Lion Mountain in the ancient city is a good place to overlook the snowy mountains and the ancient city, so I took a taxi there in the morning. The driver is very nice. I heard that we wanted to overlook the snowy mountains, so he drove us directly to the halfway up of Lion Mountain and directly to the entrance of Wangulou Scenic Area? Saved us from climbing up the ladder ourselves.

Wanggu Tower is indeed a good place to take a look at the scenery. There are snowy mountains on one side and the ancient city on the other. Especially when we arrived, it was only past 8 o'clock. The entire scenic area was almost contracted by us. It was exquisite and quiet. We sat upstairs for a long time.?

Lijiang

Going down the mountain from the other side is the ancient city of Lijiang. There is a stone tablet on the downhill road engraved with Xu Xiake's evaluation of Lijiang Mufu,"The beauty of the palace is similar to that of a king"?

Compared with Dali, I think it has a more flavor of an ancient city, with well-organized houses, mottled stone roads, and not so strong commercial atmosphere.

On the way down the mountain, there was a restaurant attracting tourists, shouting,"You can bask in the sun on the upstairs platform." This sentence was really attractive, so I went in. It's not cheap, but it tastes good?

We were full of soup and rice, so we continued to go down the mountain to visit the ancient city. We wandered around without a destination, but we found many beautiful things. The small alleys with gurgling streams, the flowers and plants that can be seen everywhere, the mottled old houses, the interesting Naxi square dance, the online celebrity oilpaper umbrella street that I encountered, the primary school students doing radio gymnastics, and even the public toilets with excellent sanitary conditions in the ancient city left a deep impression on me.

Lijiang

There are many inns in the ancient city, and basically every family has a dog from the town shop. I like it!?

Perhaps it was because there were few people in the morning, but the ancient city of Lijiang really left a deeper and better impression on me.

He made an appointment with the driver who was going to Lugu Lake to leave at noon. In addition, he also left behind the second floor platform of the inn and a dog and cat, so he returned to the inn early, planning to use a fruit to settle the day's lunch.

The inn platform is really a good place to relax and relax, with rocking chairs, swings, dogs and people I love. The boss cut a piece of watermelon for us, which was super sweet. We ate plantains and drank yogurt with the dog.

After the fruit meal, we set off for Lugu Lake, which we were thinking about. Goodbye Lijiang!

Almost all roads to Lugu Lake are winding mountains with "eighteen turns in mountain roads". The road conditions are good, but most people probably dare not drive fast. Fortunately, our driver is experienced and drives very fast. I feel sleepy every time I take a car, especially in the afternoon, but today, the beautiful scenery outside the car window made me unable to sleep. There are magnificent mountains, rivers, green trees and blue skies all the way. My husband and I have been taking photos like we have never seen the world. Record videos, hoping to retain the beauty of the moment.

After almost 4 hours of driving, I finally arrived at the entrance of Lugu Lake Scenic Area.

After entering the scenic area, we still have to drive for more than half an hour to reach our destination-Dazu. But the advantage is that it can be regarded as a ride around Lugu Lake.

When I arrived at the inn and packed my luggage, it was already 6 o'clock. I couldn't wait to tell the innkeeper that I wanted to go to Valentine's Beach to watch the sunset. The owner was also very helpful and drove us there. We arrived in a few minutes. Although I didn't see the sunset, I also saw it. Beautiful sunset.

I still had fish from Lugu Lake for dinner. Perhaps because the water quality of Lugu Lake is good, the fish raised are quite delicious.

After dinner, we went back to the inn. The innkeeper has prepared tartary buckwheat tea, introduced us to the Lugu Lake Scenic Area, and agreed on tomorrow's itinerary.

I previously read reviews on airbnb that if the innkeeper was in a good mood, he could take guests to the hillside halfway up the mountain to see the starry sky and the Milky Way. So with the owner's consent, he would take us there tonight, the weather allowed. I was excited!

Looking left and right, at about 10 o'clock in the evening, the large clouds above your head slowly dispersed. Standing in the inn yard, you can see the stars all over the sky. The boss said that we didn't have to wait until midnight in this season, and we could see the Milky Way now, so we drove off.

Lugu Lake was very cold at night. We put on light down and big scarves. It was still chilly, but what we exchanged was a beautiful starry sky. It's been a long time since I saw so many stars. The last time I was at the "Half-way Inn" in northern Xinjiang. The stars in the sky are densely packed, flashing and shining. Because the air was clean enough, my husband and the innkeeper saw six or seven meteors, but I didn't see one. My husband laughed at me probably because my eyes were small and my horizons were too narrow, which was irritating.

The innkeeper also used his invincible Huawei to take photos of us. Thank you.?

Lugu Lake

After looking up at it for more than an hour, I felt that my cervical spondylosis had been almost cured. I also gave up on continuing to look for meteors, so we went back to sleep. We slept in autumn clothes that night. Fortunately, the quilt in the inn was thick and comfortable enough to sleep well.

On October 24, I saw a different Lugu Lake

Today's itinerary is to charter a car around Lugu Lake. The charter fee is 300. We mainly visit the Sichuan half, and the only place we arranged in Yunnan is the "Ligg Observation Platform". Because I feel that this half of Sichuan can be closer to Lugu Lake, with fewer people and more beautiful scenery.

The first stop is to take a pig trough boat from Caohai to "Dear Inn" and "Wangfei Island". The round trip takes about an hour and a half, and the price is 150 per person.

The weather was not bad when we left. The weather was sunny and there were blue skies and white clouds. In shallower places, you can directly see the water grass at the bottom of the lake through the lake. It is said that Lugu Lake is crustal water, so it is extremely clear. My husband and I unconsciously picked it up and took a sip. It is similar to mineral water.

Lugu Lake

Red-billed gulls flying from Siberia have just arrived at Lugu Lake one after another. Is this another scene?

Rowing on the lake and looking at the changing mountain scenery around you, what remains unchanged is the clear lake water.

The one below is the "Dear Inn". It is still open. It just has a separate platform for tourists to take photos. It's really not interesting. We will return soon.

I didn't see the legendary poplar flowers all the way here. It was said that they were picked by tourists... I was disappointed, the kind rowing master said that he could take us to the reed swamp on the way back, where there were still some poplar flowers. It would be fine for each person to add 10 yuan more, so I went happily. It feels like this is also a treasure attraction. We are the only boat in the entire reed swamp. It is quiet and we can only hear the sound of rowing and the chirping of birds.

The next stop is the wedding bridge. Walking marriage is a custom among Mosuo people, and walking marriage bridge is said to be a place where Mosuo people meet.

Autumn is here, the grass is beginning to turn yellow, and the wind blows, and the yellow, yellow, green and green are intertwined and rippling, making it particularly beautiful.

There is a viewing platform across the road, where you can see the whole view of the marriage bridge. Maybe it's because Lugu Lake is high, but I can't breathe even if I climb faster.

Originally, there was another trip in the morning to go to the local museum to fully understand the culture of the Mosuo people. The innkeeper strongly recommended it, and we also wanted to go. Unfortunately, I stayed in bed in the morning and got up late again and didn't have time to go, so I'll keep it for my thoughts.

It's almost lunchtime, so drive straight to Goddess Bay (Zhaojiawan), because there are "good people snacks" that you are longing for. When I was looking through the guide, I saw people recommending it many times, and I thought I had to check in, so I drank the most delicious fish soup in my life!

After dinner, he strolled down to Goddess Bay.

Goddess Bay is a quiet small harbor opposite Gum Goddess Mountain, hence its name. By the time we arrived at Goddess Bay, the sky was completely overcast. Although the lake water and the sacred mountain could not be seen, the gloomy sky further highlighted the tranquility of Lugu Lake.

The next stop is the God Sacrifice Platform.

Over the long years, this has been a sacred place for local people to communicate with gods and express their respect to them. Due to its high terrain, it is also a good place to overlook Lugu Lake and watch the sunset. Today, the sunset is invisible, but we can still see the integrated landscape of water and mountains through the mirror-like lake.

The next stop is Rigg Observation Deck.

This should be the most popular scenic spot. When Yunnan promoted Lugu Lake, it used photos of this spot.

When we arrived at the observation deck, it began to rain. To be honest, I always prayed before coming to Lugu Lake, please give me a blue sky and white clouds. At this time, my dream was shattered, but I felt the different Lugu Lake. While the rainy weather continued, I could better appreciate the tranquility of Lugu Lake.

This sense of tranquility was more vividly experienced at the last stop,"Luyuanye", because even on rainy days, there were still many tourists at the Ligge Observation Deck, but there were almost no one at Luyuanye.

We returned to the inn at around 5 o'clock. We ran to the boss and asked for a few pieces of tartary buckwheat tea and two local apples. Then we returned to the room and connected the millet slightly in the house, which opened my very comfortable afternoon tea time.

In the evening, we went to watch the local bonfire party. We ate melon seeds and drank tea. It was quite lively. In the words of the innkeeper,"If you are really bored, you can go and have a look."

See you again at Lugu Lake on October 25, hello Chongqing

Flying from Ninglang Airport in Lugu Lake to Chongqing at 11:40 a.m. this morning, the innkeeper helped find a carpool partner. He set off before 9:30, and the drive took nearly an hour and a half.

I was really reluctant to part with Lugu Lake, so I got up early for a while and thought of going to the lake again. Walking west from Dazu Archway is the best place to see the sunrise. Unfortunately, on cloudy days, the sunrise cannot be seen. You can only vaguely see the light in the distance, but because of this, you can see that the clouds here seem to be water vapor formed from the mountains and then slowly climbed to form clouds.

After breakfast at a roadside stall, I bought delicious corn cakes, and then I set off for the airport. On the way, I enjoyed another tour around the lake, and it was overlooking from a high place. Lugu Lake was more beautiful.

Lugu Lake is nearly 3000 meters above sea level, and the small Ninglang Airport seems to be built in the cloud. It is amazing.

Goodbye to the beautiful Lugu Lake.

The plane soon landed at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport, starting a completely different travel experience. Internet celebrity Chongqing, here we come!

Chongqing is also rainy and rainy

Fortunately, I came to Chongqing mainly to eat and eat, so I didn't delay it. After checking the navigation, I found that it was also convenient to take the light rail to the city, and I could also take a look at the city view of Chongqing. So I took nearly an hour and a half to reach the B & B near Jiefangbei.

When purchasing light rail tickets, you can choose to scan the code to pay. Is it convenient?

It was already past two o'clock when I arrived at the B & B to put down my things. Although I had an appointment with friends from Chongqing to have hot pot in the evening, I didn't delay looking for Chongqing snacks first.

We first walked to Jiefangbei to check in, and then headed straight to the nearby snack street. Although our friends said that this place was prepared for foreign tourists, we still did not dispel our enthusiasm. Dragon Subduing Claw, Roasted Brain Flowers, Duck Sausage, Small Tangyuan, Sheng Jian, I also tasted it all.

The place for dinner at night was in the north of Jialing River. The two people who were not too tired and ignorant of the sky actually "took the road" to Hongyadong, wanting to experience 8D Chongqing first. The entrance to the scenic spot is on the 9th floor of Hongya Cave (it seems to be). After entering, I got lost. Every floor comes out of an exterior view, which is a brand new world. Previously, I read the guide and said that I could see Hongya Cave across the road on the first floor, and the viewing angle was the most beautiful. We wandered around for a long time and couldn't find a way to get there. Later, when we saw that there was not enough time, we returned to the 9th floor and took the bus and left...

My friends took us to "Yuzong", a hot pot restaurant that their locals also liked to go to. For the first time I experienced Chongqing Hotpot, I was amazed! I'm not very good at eating spicy food, so a friend kindly helped me order a mandarin duck pot, but the structure of this pot is completely different from what I imagined. The only thing that is not spicy is a small area in the middle, surrounded by a large circle of red soup pot. I felt that I was despised in my heart, and the thing washed with red soup smelled so fragrant, so I boldly tried it and paired it with a greasy dish. It was not as spicy as I imagined, but it was very fragrant and very delicious, so the clear soup was abandoned!
Spicy and delicious hot pot, paired with soy milk, prune juice, and cold beer, I didn't drag me down at all because of a bad cold. I ate it very well!

After dinner, my friend originally said that he wanted to take us to experience Chongqing's nightlife, first singing, then barbecue, and finally a bowl of noodles. However, as a severe cold patient + elderly person, he couldn't afford to work and work, so he took a taxi back to the B & B. On the way, I took a look at the Qianzaimen Bridge and Hongya Cave from afar. They were very beautiful. I thought I would have to change my route and come back tomorrow night.

October 26 Today, he transformed into artistic youth

The two lazy pigs overslept again. It was rainy and rainy, and the room was well shaded, so it was really suitable for sleeping! We skipped breakfast and walked directly to Li Chuanchuan's old restaurant, which was also a good place to eat Chuanchuan last night.

Using the Baidu navigation, there was an instruction that said,"Go straight after climbing the stairs." We looked at the dead end in front of us and the garage on one side, but we couldn't see where the stairs were. We asked a passing man, who pointed to a spiral staircase next to it, telling us that the "climbing the stairs" in the navigation means climbing this... I was stunned, the key is after climbing it, and it's really 8D Chongqing that has not escaped.

Li Chuanchuan indeed deserves its reputation. It looks like a dilapidated restaurant, but in fact it is very fragrant. The ingredients are also very particular, the base is amazing, and the food is delicious. This time, I learned from last night's experience and directly ordered a large pot of red soup at the bottom of a slightly spicy pot. However, as long as I rinse it in the boiling part in the middle and serve it with a greasy plate, it is actually not too spicy. When eating beef liver, the waiter suggested serving it with a dry dish, which is a mixture of chili noodles and coriander. It was really spicy, so he gave up after taking a bite.

It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon after the meal, so we quickly set off for the new Sichuan Beauty Campus.

The new campus covers a large area, perfectly integrating modern architecture with traditional elements, full of greenery, and there are also sheep baa baa on the campus.

When we were doing the strategy before, we saw that the Luo Zhongli Art Museum on the new campus was holding a national oil painting exhibition. It was a special event to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It had already ended, but it was postponed until the end of October. We just caught up with it. With such a fate, how can we not be a literary youth!

The level of the national oil painting exhibition is indeed high, and we watched it with great interest. Most of the paintings do not have glass covers, so we can see the brushwork carefully.

It's a pity that I got up late today and didn't go to the Chenglao Campus to see the sculpture exhibition. According to friends, it was even more shocking.

The painting above is called "Colorful Mountain", and we stopped in front of this painting for a long time.

The painting above is called "Under the Sunshine and in the Spring Breeze". From a distance, it looks like a photo.

We stayed until the art museum closed and chased people out before we reluctantly came out. Although I have never learned painting and basically don't know how to appreciate it, the beautiful thing is that it can be pure and you can feel it at a glance.

After coming out of Chuanmei, the rain stopped. I went to McDonald's and bought two sugar cones, and then went to the food stall at the school gate to buy a serving of Wolf Tooth potatoes. I ate while walking and relived my college life.

On the way back to the city by the light rail, you will pass by Ciqikou. The tourists were troubled, so they went. Because of the light rain, there were not many people, so it was quite pleasant to climb up and down and stroll around the store. I went to eat chicken offal in ancient town to settle the dinner. It seems that the tf boys have also eaten it, but they are still a little intolerant of the taste of the chicken offal itself, and the side dishes inside are quite delicious.

I had to go to see the night view tonight, so I didn't stay at Ciqikou for much longer and went back to the B & B. It is said that it is not suitable to go to Nanshan to see the night view from a tree on cloudy days, because it is far away and cannot be seen clearly when the visibility is low. So following a friend's recommendation, I took a taxi to Nanbin Road and looked north across the Yangtze River. It is indeed very spectacular, comparable to the night view of Qingdao.

Later, I took a taxi to Jiangbei Grand Theater, which is the northern end of Qianzamen Bridge. I walked across the bridge and slowly approached Hongya Cave. It was still very beautiful.

This time we didn't walk into Hongya Cave again. Firstly, we were afraid of getting lost. Secondly, there were still some restaurants inside and we had little interest in it. So after watching the night view, we continued to walk back to the B & B, feeling that the number of steps in the past two days would be overwhelming!

Then today's main play comes on! I didn't expect Chongqing noodles to be the most amazing food on this trip. It was not hot pot, not skewers, but noodles! On the way back to the B & B, I happened to see a small noodle shop next to it. The sign also said that it was the top 50 noodle shop or something. The key was already past 11 o'clock at night, there were many people inside, and there were also taxi drivers. I guessed it should be a local people's favorite restaurant, so I walked in and ordered a bowl of noodles for each person. Moderately spicy, delicious and delicious, with strong fragrance, and chewy noodles. The aroma is wrapped in spicy taste. It's so delicious! It directly led to us having two more meals of noodles the next day.

Return home with satisfaction on October 27

Today is the last day of this trip. The plane leaves at 8:40 p.m. and returns to Qingdao.

Because time is precious, we made a good selection and decided on today's journey arrangement: the light rail runs through Liziba, Eling No. 2 Factory, and the third trail.

After getting up in the morning, I packed my luggage and left it in the B & B. The boss would arrange an aunt to clean it for us. Thank you. I went downstairs and found a small noodle restaurant at the entrance of the community. It was called "Sauce Laoma Hanshou". The taste was great! I ordered a bowl of pea mixed noodles, and my husband ordered a bowl of fat sausage beef dumplings. They agreed that the small noodles were still delicious, and without the noodles, there would be no soul.

Satisfied, we set off to take Light Rail Line 2. Near the B & B is Linjiangmen Station. After entering the subway, we went straight to the first carriage and successfully seized a good position.

We sat all the way to Daping Station, along the Jialing River, and went up to the sky and into the building. It felt very magical. After that, he sat back to Liziba Station in the opposite direction, left the station and followed the crowd to the observation deck. He watched the light rail pass through the building several times and took countless photos and videos. Before the light rail came, you could look back and see the river view, which was also beautiful.

After that, we walked to Eling No. 2 Factory, which was about 20 minutes 'walk. The scenery on the road was very beautiful and we also passed the Flying Tigers Museum. After ups and downs all the way, climbing over obstacles, we finally arrived at the No. 2 Eling Factory of the Internet celebrity. The aunts here must have good legs and feet. They still need to climb so many layers to buy vegetables.

Eling No. 2 Factory, which used to be a factory, has now been transformed into a cultural and creative park. There are many Internet celebrity shops in it, which are suitable for shopping, eating and taking photos. I bought my favorite refrigerator sticker here.

I couldn't find a suitable place to eat here, so I took a taxi to Riyueguang Shopping Center and ate the Hongjiuge old hot pot known as "slightly spicy is the last compromise". I still wanted slightly spicy. Maybe the previous Yuzong and Li Chuanchuan were so amazing and affordable that this store was not so good, but as a "Jiugong Experience", it was still good.

It was nearly 3 o'clock after dinner, and we walked to the third trail, which was the last attraction on the trip.

This place belongs to the traditional Chongqing Shancheng Alley style area, with streets and alleys built against mountains and climbing along cliffs, which has unique characteristics. Facts have proved that it is the right way to end with it. It is an exquisite yet interesting place. You can also see the beautiful Chongqing river scenery under the sunset, and it is also just in time for the fourth anniversary of the King's Glory Lantern Festival.

From where the stone tablet is in the photo above, to the left, there is a suspended wooden plank road, a good place to see the sunset and river scenery.

Seeing that it was getting late and we had to rush to the airport, we continued to walk down the mountain for a total of about an hour and a half.

Back to the community where the B & B was located, we ate two more bowls of rice noodles while waiting for luggage, thus ending our trip to Chongqing and ending the ten-day tour of "South of Colorful Clouds + Charming Chongqing".

conclusion

In recent years, I have traveled to a place every year. The year before last, it was northern Xinjiang, and last year, it was Chiang Mai, Thailand. I left many photos, but I have been lazy and did not leave a travel note. This directly makes it difficult to recall the details of the beginning, only remember a few beautiful moments. I hope that from this time on, every place I go can end with a travel note, even if it is a running account.
