Lijiang has always been a dream, and it only takes one decision to realize it. But after a while, this decision was delayed for many years. It was not until May this year that time was reserved for Lijiang.

I thought about it for a long time, and finally I came. I came to Lijiang. In Lijiang, bathe in the bright sun; in Lijiang, feel the lazy time; in Lugu Lake, the blue water reflects the sky light; in the Yulong Snow Mountain, the gorgeous sunshine makes people sad. In Yunnan, all times are so beautiful. I am afraid that a trip will be too short.

Legend has it that there is a place called the City of the Wind, which stands between a rolling mountain and a plateau lake. Whenever the wind blows on people's cheeks, they forget everything in the past. Many people left their hometown and came to find this windy city. Then they stood at the entrance of the city and opened their hearts to let the wind blow away all troubles, sorrows, and pain. Then, they stayed in this paradise outside the world and became people with clear eyes.

Let's talk about Dali first, a place you can't visit in your life. My first impression of Dali was the breeze and the bright moon. As long as you enter the boundary of Dali, the gentle daylight of Erhai Lake in the east and the dense cloud shadows of Cangshan Mountain in the west are the set for a romantic film.

This is a soft city. As soon as you reach out, you can see a soft scent of flowers, a cloud that has not yet turned into rain, and a hint of sweetness that is looming. Looking at the calm and smiling eyes of the Dali people, you may not imagine that this was once a land of kings and a land of war. This gentle wind once blew the hunting flag, and the blue sky once carried the whistling smoke.

Inch Yin Dali has nothing to do with the scenery, flowers and snow

The first day in Dali is to visit the ancient city, take beautiful photos, and breathe the fresh air of Dali!

Let's first take a few beautiful photos of the courtyard. Isn't it very stylish? The headwear is also from the B & B ~ Speaking of which, clothing matching is very important.

The bartender is also a very good person. It is said that he left Beijing because of love and came to Dali to concoct all kinds of beautiful and delicious cocktails.

Surrounded by the sea-the mountains are flat and the water is wide, the wild is open and the sky is low, and the clouds are light and the wind is light

The Erhai Lake is a must-visit place for people coming to Dali. Whether you go to Caicun Wharf to see the seagulls flying from Siberia, or rent an electric car to swim around the Erhai Lake, the Erhai Lake will not let you down.

It is said that it is about 135 kilometers around the Erhai Lake. If you stop and go, one afternoon is just right. Drive slowly and one day is enough, and you can still enjoy the full view of the Erhai Lake all the way. I remember an nameless Guanyin Temple I passed by on the way. It has flat mountains and broad waters, open fields and low skies, and a meditation room with flowers and trees, with light clouds and light winds. Looking back, I feel that this place is really suitable for sitting by the seaside to rest and read.

Walking along Huanhai Road, the scenery on both sides is different. On one side is endless farmland and snowy mountains in the clouds, and on the other side is the close distance of Erhai Lake and the seaside scenery that changes scenery. The contrast is huge, and occasionally you can accidentally meet the newlyweds taking wedding photos by the seaside are beautiful.

[Xizhou Slow Time]

Xizhou Ancient Town is located in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is one of the birthplaces of Dali culture. Xizhou Ancient Town is also the hometown of the movie "Five Golden Flowers". Today, Xizhou Ancient Town is one of the most well-known ancient towns around the ancient city of Dali. There are many ancient houses and courtyards from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Every time I feel bored in the ancient city of Dali, I will ride an electric bike to Xizhou for a tour, buy two sweet Xizhou cakes, visit the small shops in the ancient town, and return to the ancient city of Dali after I am satisfied.

Dali tie-dyeing is very famous. It is also a traditional handicraft technique of the local Bai and Yi people. It originated in the Central Plains region more than 1000 years ago. Even if you are invited by local people to visit your own handicraft workshop at any time, you can only appreciate the fun of tie-dyeing by yourself. For 50 yuan, you can spend an hour or two to make a piece under the leadership of an old craftsman. The tie-dyed square towel produced by yourself is very interesting.

Xizhou Ancient Town is very suitable for taking photos. Various art shops are dotted in the ancient town, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere you can see.

Xizhou Ancient Town is much smaller than Dali Ancient City and can be visited in about an hour or two. If you want to take photos here, it is recommended to visit it carefully, because many of the shooting locations are scattered. Xizhou Ancient Town is also very convenient for transportation. It is surrounded by farmland, not far away is Erhai Lake, and only five or six kilometers away from Haishue Park. The scenery is beautiful, but also very lively and very livable. It is an ideal place to live.

In addition to ancient buildings, Xizhou is most famous for its local snack "Xizhou Po Crispy Baba". Xizhou Po Crispy Baba may be more famous than Xizhou Ancient Town itself. In Xizhou Ancient Town, the most famous two are the two near the old archway on Sifang Street in Xizhou. They all taste similar. If you like sweet ones, you can buy rose candy and bean paste fillings. If you want salty ones, you can buy scallion oil with minced pork. Taste, or just taste the original flavor of the plain flour cake.

Xizhou Ancient Town also has a large number of Bai folk residential buildings with their own characteristics from the Ming, Qing, Republic of China to contemporary times. Xizhou folk houses are typical Bai courtyard patterns such as "three squares and one Zhaobi","four-in-five courtyards", and "Zouma Chuanjiao Tower". Eating Xizhou Baba, strolling along the way, admiring Bai folk houses, and visiting art shops, an afternoon passed.

I came across an ancient barber shop. The barber was a white-haired old man. The store was very simple, and even the word haircut was omitted. However, I really like the pair posted on the door.

Xizhou has been an important town and a transit station on the ancient tea-horse road since then, providing business travel, trade, rest, rest, and supplies for passing horse gangs. The entry of all kinds of people allows diverse cultures to exchange and gather here, and also allows open thinking to accumulate here. Strolling through the ancient town of Xizhou, admiring the unique style of Bai folk houses, exploring various literary and art shops, and eating the Xizhou Baba that you miss, the good times are just so much.

Dayan Ancient City in Lijiang-misty rain and red dust, with thousands of customs

Dayan Ancient City is an ancient city that is mysterious, ancient and unforgettable; at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, a small bridge stands quietly, flowing water flows gently and slowly, and smoke from people's kitchens curling.

That antique inn, the unique charming Naxi customs and customs in the misty rain, sitting in the misty rain, red dust, breeze and drizzle, and appreciating its myriad customs has always been a dream in my heart.

Reflecting the Naxi style, the ancient buildings exude their own unique atmosphere after being touched by the years. The inside is like a courtyard house, with the walls enclosing the rockery pond in the middle. The two rocking chairs sway with the wind, as if they have moved into time and life.

In March and April, flowers bloom everywhere in Lijiang, so it is really beautiful to come to Lijiang at this time.

The roof shooting should remind everyone that this is a special check-in point for taking photos, not climbing into a room to take photos ~ So pay attention to safety and protect the building.

Lijiang B & B-An attitude towards life

Baking in the sun is the most pleasant thing for Li, and choosing a one with a large yard is a very important thing.

Yulong Snow Mountain--The place closest to the sun

Yulong Snow Mountain is the sacred mountain in the eyes of Naxi people! It is a national 5A tourist attraction!!

Review tips: Yulong Snow Mountain Glacier Park traffic restriction! Only 10,000 people can go there every day. Those who want to go had better book tickets in advance!

I signed up for a one-day tour of Yulong Snow Mountain! Oxygen and winter clothing were sent! Make lunch! It's still Miss Domi's schedule ~

The weather was beautiful on the day of departure, with blue skies and white clouds! But the fog is still rolling on the top of the snowy mountain!!

Ganhaizi is a natural grassland. There are low pine trees scattered on the vast grassland, setting off the distant scenery of snow-capped mountains. This is an ideal place for viewing and taking photos.

Blue Moon Valley, the color of water is blue on sunny days, and turns white when it rains, so it is also called Baishui River. It was sunny when I went

, the blue water is crystal clear! It's an amazing feeling against the snowy mountains!! There are many people taking wedding photos there!

Snow Mountain + Chicken Hot Pot is a perfect match! The chicken is chewy and not firewood. It's really good with dipping!!! I suggest that everyone can bring snacks into the scenic area. Snacks in the scenic area are really expensive!!

Glacier Cableway-the highest tourist passenger cableway in my country

Big cableway to Glacier Park! The altitude is a little high and a little scary!

Giant ice emeralds in Glacier Park

Take a group photo of the "Extreme Challenge" monument at an altitude of 4680 meters! Awesome, extreme man is great ~

From the upper station of the cableway from 4506 meters to 4680 meters, climbing stairs at high altitudes will be much more tiring than on the plains. Many people will experience altitude sickness! Remember to take oxygen in advance or take medicine to prevent high reactions.

Impression·Lijiang

Those who are interested can go to the performance of "Impression of Lijiang", directed by Zhang Yimou, the highest live performance in the world at an altitude of 3050 meters, and also in the Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area!

Impression Lijiang Theater

Baisha Ancient Town is one of the most original Naxi villages

Shortly after leaving the Baisha Ancient Town Scenic Area, we arrived at Shuhe Ancient Town. Compared with the over-commercialization of Dayan Ancient City, it is quieter and more pristine!

In Shuhe Ancient Town, the environment is great! Recommended sitting by the window!

Xiaoguo rice is the signature. The fried potatoes in it are so delicious!

Iron plate wrapped with soy bean curd wrapped with soy bean curd is surprisingly delicious, the tofu is super, super tender!

This dish of water poplar is a local specialty and the salad is very refreshing

Naxi Grilled Fish has rich ingredients!

Epilogue:

A wonderful trip ended like this. Where will the next stop be? Lijiang left a deep footprint in my heart.

This was really an unforgettable trip to Lijiang. At the same time, I would like to thank Domi for arranging the itinerary planning, accommodation and other issues. I am very grateful to her for working hard for my little sister.

Lijiang! Waiting for my next arrival!

Let's take action, friends!
