It was in this moment that I realized you were beside me.

It was at this moment that I realized that I had lost your face

You can forget everything but your face

Everything can change. Please let me see you again.

--A moment

Ten years have passed since Lijiang Xiaoqian released this song in 2011, but you can still hear the familiar sound of tambourines when walking in the busy or quiet streets of the ancient city of Lijiang.

Think about Lijiang and Dali, places that many people want to go. The earliest folk singers also came from places in the southwest, and the days of utopia also came from these places with blue skies, white clouds and snowy mountains.

It has been four years since the last time I came to Lijiang seriously. Life always passes between misses and mistakes, and time often waits for no one to pass by. Kaikai and I took a ride from Dali and arrived in Lijiang in about two hours. The Shiheyuan we stayed in happened to be on the edge of the ancient city, which was relatively convenient.

If you live in an inn near Sifang Street in the ancient city, you will probably be dragging your luggage on the stone road until you are miserable. I thought that when I came to Lijiang during the epidemic, I would encounter the ancient city of Lijiang, which had relatively few people. After all, as a famous tourist destination, Lijiang is a constant source of tourists all year round. Facts proved that I was too naive. I walked all the way from Shiheyuan along Wuyi Street to Sifang Street, which was crowded with people.

My favorite moment in the ancient town is when the sky has just darkened and the blue color appears on the horizon. Behind the water, the lanterns are just on, which is so beautiful. Because I have been to Lijiang many times and don't want to check in anywhere, Kaikai and I just made tea on the third-floor platform of the inn, overlooking the entire ancient city and already felt very satisfied.

Bougainvillea in the ancient city is like free of money, and it is in full bloom everywhere. It gives some vitality to the antique buildings, and they envy Yunnan's climate the most. Whether it is meaty or various flowers and plants, they can grow very well. You can see all kinds of flowers in Lijiang all year round. It's really happy.

Where does the ancient city of Lijiang live?

Shiheyuan Inn

Shiheyuan is in a good location. It is close to the road, just on Wenming Lane on Wuyi Street, and it is also very close to walking to Sifang Street. When checking in, the front desk told us that the third floor overlooks the ancient city. We didn't care until it was time to leave and there was still some time before our car, that we said we should go upstairs and have a look.

As soon as I got to the third floor platform, I fell in love. There is a tatami teahouse, prepared Pu 'er, and fruits from the store. We chatted while making tea. Every journey will come to an end, but a beautiful end is a new beginning.

The room in Shiheyuan is also very antique. There is a big tea table. I have no problem drinking tea and writing. I prefer to drink coffee. I make a cup of coffee and walk out of the door to the well-organized courtyard.

In terms of cost performance and location, Shihe Yuan is indeed worth choosing.

What does Lijiang eat?

Don't miss small pot rice

There are not many people traveling during the recent epidemic, but this family's business is still very popular and is very popular among locals and tourists!

We live in Shuhe Ancient Town. This store is located in Shuhe Ancient Town. The environment is very good. I really like this environment and it feels very comfortable!

The delicious food is very good. Every dish is really delicious. Small pot rice, braised pork, Lijiang Baba, and stir-fried tofu are all very good. Paoluda is also very delicious. The overall value for money is very high. So there is a reason why something good is so popular! Such a good restaurant must be supported!
