[About Foreword]

In the chilly north, people are still waiting for the arrival of warm spring! And I embarked on an unfamiliar journey, to the city that was like spring all year round to feel the bright spring light, distinguish the direction of the wind, and guess where the clouds belonged. Yunnan is already favored by the sun, decorated with blue skies, white clouds and flowers, which is a place that many tourists yearn for. Today, when the tourism market is full of chaos, Yunnan is undoubtedly a place where there is a lot of criticism and criticism! In Kunming, the airport cleaning aunt borrowed my shopping bag to let me see Yunnan's helpfulness; in Dali, the lunch of the innkeeper's family made me experience Yunnan's hospitality; in Shuanglang, the three-wheeled motorcycle uncle worked tirelessly in the rain. Seeing off made me feel the simplicity of Yunnan's folk customs and met along the way. The beautiful scenery, delicious food and those warm people made this trip to Yunnan feel more cordial! There are many travel notes and high-quality guides in Yunnan, and during my trip to Yunnan, as a non-professional photographer, I have done many guides about taking photos of costumes, props and scenes, hoping to provide you with a little reference for Yunnan travel photography, costumes, attractions, and composition. Nationality is still fashionable, wild or clever, fresh or beautiful, bright or sad, different styles are all for you!

Ganhaizi--Lanyue Valley--One-day trip to Yulong Snow Mountain--Shuhe Ancient Town

In the morning, the master arrived at the inn in advance and waited for us to finish washing and eat in the morning. Then we set off for Yulong Snow Mountain.

Ganhaizi is a natural meadow ranch with gentle terrain. There are low pine trees scattered on the vast meadow. Under your feet are a rolling grassland, hidden by vegetation. From time to time, yaks walk by in front of you, giving you a view of Gaoyuan Ranch scenery. Set against the distant scenery of the snowy mountains, this is an ideal place for viewing and taking photos. Every year, flowers bloom in warm spring and grass germinate. Tibetan, Yi and Naxi herdsmen living in the mountains near Ganhaizi have to wear felt tents, ride high-headed horses, drive yaks, sheep, and cattle to pasture in the meadow. From the Ganhaizi Meadow to the 4500-meter snow line, you can see a variety of flowers, plants and trees, orchids, wild peonies, and snow lotus; tall trees include Yunnan pine, cedar, fir, thorn chestnut, etc.

The sun was shining brightly, but the wind was so strong that some of the hats were unwearable. In the next few days, I finally realized that Yunnan, where there is no problem, is just windy! The wind is strong! The wind is strong!

I heard from the tour guide that there are many wedding photos taken in this place. I also like these photos very much. I admire and yearning for the snowy mountains!

Blue Moon Valley, its predecessor was known as the "Baishui River" earlier. On sunny days, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley. The name Baishui River is also called Baishui River because the mud at the bottom of the lake is white and the water turns white when it rains. The river water in the Blue Moon Valley was blocked by mountains during its flow, forming four large water surfaces, known as "Yuye" Lake,"Jingtan" Lake,"Blue Moon" Lake and "Tingtao" Lake.

Seeing a couple taking photos here, I also picked up the camera and clicked on it. The naughty groom actually looked at the camera and wished the two newlyweds a happy marriage for a long time!

After leaving Blue Moon Valley, it began to snow. As the altitude increases, the snow becomes heavier and heavier. The tour guide said that heavy snow under the Yulong Snow Mountain is a sign of good luck and a lucky journey. Feeling this snowy snow all over the mountains in the south is also a different experience.

After coming out of the Blue Moon Valley, it began to fall heavily all the way up the mountain. After a series of inspection tickets, I finally got on the bus from the scenic spot and arrived at the big cableway. There were many people. The ticket checking office showed more than 8000 people in real time. There were a long queue at every entrance. I really don't know how many people there were in the peak season! After passing through five passes and killing six generals, it was finally our turn to take the cableway. When we saw this giant, we really felt like some mysterious machine in a science fiction blockbuster. Tickets to the Yulong Snow Mountain were expensive. After sitting on this eight-minute cableway ticket, we finally felt that it was worth the money. The Yulong Snow Mountain Cableway runs about 35 kilometers north from the Ancient City of Lijiang and about 5 kilometers west from Ganhaizi Snow Mountain Villa. Then we arrived at the lower station at the foot of the snowy mountain. This is the starting point of the snowy mountain cableway. It is a dense virgin forest. The altitude is 3356 meters above sea level. The cableway runs upward from here to the upper station just below the main peak of the snowy mountain. There is a altitude of 4506 meters above sea level. The cableway has a total length of 2914 meters and a vertical height difference of 1150 meters. It is one of the highest tourist passenger ropeways in my country.

It was still early after coming down from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. We went directly to Shuhe Ancient Town. Before coming, Cheng Cheng also made us a food guide. Many people said that the food in Shuhe is very good. Many well-known stars like to taste it in Shuhe Ancient Town. Food, not only because the restaurant in Shuhe has a good environment and the food tastes good, and the price is much more affordable than Dayan Ancient Town. It seems to be a good choice.

We chose the one with the highest popularity and the most celebrities patronized. It was indeed possible. Everything we saw along the way was the most popular and popular one. It seemed that it really lived up to its name. When we arrived at the door, we saw many flowers. The environment was really great. The boss lady is also an Internet celebrity beauty, a beauty who likes to cook delicious food!

Meet the most beautiful Lugu Lake--a two-day tour of Lugu Lake

Today, I was not awakened by the sun, but by the pattering rain outside. What should I do? What should I do if it rains in Lugu Lake? I still have to go. It's very cheap. Do you have it? I bought Lijiang Baba and freshly ground soy milk at the entrance of Zhongyi Market. Today's old driver has already driven to the market. We booked a seven-seater commercial vehicle. Last year, we used a Buick commercial vehicle when we arrived in Qinghai, which felt more comfortable than a tour bus, so this time Going to Lugu Lake is also a commercial vehicle. There were already a pair of Shanghai aunts and uncles in the car, and a bunch of young couples in Shenzhen, and then my best friend and I! The old road from Lijiang to Lugu Lake is 230 kilometers. After the completion of the new line, the mileage is shortened to 130 kilometers, which takes 4 hours. However, during the rainy season, the traffic conditions along the line are poor, and landslides and mudslides occur from time to time. No matter which direction you want to enter Lugu Lake, you must arrive at Ninglang County first. The county seat is 75 kilometers away from the lake area. The lake area is located in Shuishui Village. Most of the scenic spots, residential buildings and transportation points are concentrated in Shuishui Village. The provincial highway from Lijiang to Lugu Lake will pass by this scenic spot. There is a free photo area on the observation deck, but there is a fee for the best photo spots. This is the location of Zhang Yimou's movie "Ride Alone for Thousands of Miles", and the scenery from there is really amazing. Unconsciously, the sky has cleared up, haha ~ It's beautiful to take pictures

Walking into Lugu Lake is like entering a mysterious world. The blue water is surrounded by mountains. The wonderful lakes and mountains are inhabited by hard-working and kind Mosuo people. They still follow the ancient matriarchal clan tradition and have the reputation of "Eastern Daughter Country".

To the northwest of the lake, the majestic Gemu Mountain stands tall. This is the goddess Gemu whom the Mosuo people worship and personify.

Rigge Observation Deck, where you can have a panoramic view of most of Lugu Lake ~ It's really a panoramic view

I heard from the old driver that this should be Lovers Beach. With a few dead trees and a beach, any one of them would be a large area

Walking out is a walking wedding bridge, and there are many different opinions about walking wedding bridges ~

The southeast and south of the lake is connected to Caohai. The pasture here is abundant, cattle and sheep are fat, the dense reeds in the shallow sea ripple with the wind, and the clusters of flowers and plants are fluttering in the wind. Every winter, tens of thousands of rare migratory birds such as swans and black-necked cranes inhabit here, adding a sense of vitality and a scenery. Lake Zhou, in the dense virgin forest, rare animals such as leopards, deer, rock sheep, red pandas, short-tailed monkeys, and spotted antelopes appear in it, giving people a bit of fear and a bit of wild interest. By the lake, there are crisscrossed paths and vast tracts of countryside. The sun rises and the sun rises, wooden houses are piled on top of the house, smoke from the kitchen is curling, pastoral songs are sung, fishing fires are littered, and elders and sisters are accompanying each other. It is a beautiful farm and garden with thousands of scenes. It makes tourists feel overwhelmed.

Caohai, the Caohai is still withered in March, and the photos are very beautiful. I heard from the old driver that the scenery of Lugu Lake is different from time to time, and it will become more beautiful in a few months. Every winter, seagulls will fly over to winter. Every year In June and July, the aquatic poplar flowers bloom in the lake, and the entire lake is a world of flowers. In March of every year, the grass in Caohai is now withered. It will look good no matter how you take it ~

Joseph Locke, editor-in-chief of National Geographic magazine in the United States, once described the natural landscape of Lugu Lake as follows: "I can't imagine a more beautiful scenery than this. The lake water is as clear as crystal, reflecting the water of the distant mountains and shining with a sapphire luster. The bird floats on the calm sea like a ship, and everything is still. The tranquility, peace, and wonder that surrounds this place is really a suitable place for Shenxian Residence.

or canoes. Mosuo called it: "Japanese." Hollowed out by a thick log. It is sharpened at both ends. It gets its name because it looks like a long pig trough. When you come to Hugu Lake, you will find this small boat from ancient times floating like leaves on the lake or in the sea of grass, passing around. Speaking of pig grain boats, the Mosuo people have a touching story. A long time ago, Hugu Lake was not a lake, but a "Ru Land", a low-lying basin. There are nine villages there, surrounded by lush forests. The soil is fertile and the grass is beautiful, and the food is abundant. Under the rocks to the north at the foot of Lion Mountain in the west, there is a "Xie Baoku" which means Yongquan Cave. There are four seasons all year round. Clear spring water flows from here. There is a mute grazing man who grazes here every day with his lunch cake. If you are thirsty, take a few mouthfuls of this spring water. One day. He was surprised that there was no water in the cave. At first glance, it turned out to be a big fish blocking the hole. So, the mute drew out his waist knife, cut off a piece of fish and burned it and ate it. next day. The cut off part of your body has grown back. From then on, Mute no longer brought food from home and made lunch with fish every day. Over time, the family couldn't help but feel surprised when they saw that the mute went out without food and still looked red. When he asked the mute, the mute said he couldn't come out, so he followed him to see what was going on. As soon as they saw the big fish in Dongri, the greedy people wanted to snatch it back home and enjoy it. So they drove nine carriages of eighteen oxen, set up lifting poles, tried to trap the fish with nine ropes, and pulled it out as hard as they could. The fish were dragged out, but disaster followed. Water surged out of the mouth of the cave and flooded all the villages in an instant. It also flooded all people and livestock, and the entire basin became an ocean, forming today's "Shenami", or Hugu Lake. Only a woman who was feeding pigs saw the water rolling in. In a critical moment, she quickly jumped into the pig trough. Escaped disaster. Survived. Future generations commemorate this brave and wise woman. This pig-trough-shaped canoe has always been used.
