preface

Suddenly I really wanted to go to an ancient city alone and go to a flower event in May. The breeze is coming slowly, and the fragrance of flowers all over the city is like an unspeakable secret that makes people happy. I met Lijiang again and met the ancient city I like. I meandered along the Qingshiban Road and stayed in the famous residence of Yufeng. Behind the few sparse bamboo poles, it is my room. The warm lights and the minimalist Chinese style are all what I like.

Travel PS:

Sun protection:

Yunnan is located on a plateau, has a high altitude, and has particularly strong ultraviolet rays. Your skin will get tanned without you realizing it. So remember to apply sunscreen, hat, and shawl before going out during the day. Not only can you protect you from the sun, but it will also be very good to take photos.

Climate:

Lijiang has a low-latitude, warm temperate plateau, mountainous monsoon climate. Due to the large altitude difference, there is little change in the four seasons, and the dry and wet seasons are distinct. The annual average temperature is between 12.6 and 19.9°C, and the rainy season is concentrated from June to September.

Wearing:

The so-called 18 Yunnan monsters are worn in all seasons, which is also a major feature of Yunnan tourism.

The weather on the plateau is changeable, sometimes sunny, sometimes cloudy, sometimes cold and sometimes hot. We must respond in time according to changes. In winter, the temperature difference between day and night increases, so you have to wear thick coats in the morning and evening.

Skin care products:

The weather in Yunnan is drier than you think. Hotels basically have floor heating, and the laundry can dry in one night. Girls must wear more moisturizing masks.

Because I have been to Lijiang once before, I still know a little about the tourism industry in Lijiang. Therefore, I had to start reading the strategy early before setting off this time, wanting to find a reliable tour route to Yunnan. Coincidentally, a Ctrip friend introduced me to a Yunnan travel itinerary planner. Duoduo Tour Guide's V Bo: Dianxing Qian Duoduo recommended attractions and itineraries to me, which made us very satisfied. The most important thing is that the one-day tour route of Yulong Snow Mountain booked by Duoduo tour guide is excellent, and there is really no shopping, which is completely in line with my original intention! After all, when traveling in Yunnan, if you are greedy for small gains, you will definitely suffer a big loss. Many travel things can't just look at this small discount in front of you! The quality of post-schedule is the most important thing!

a When choosing, be careful to include tickets for large cableways. Because real-name systems are required, it is difficult to get tickets online. This time, it was a small business group of 570 people per person booked by Xunduo, with a total of 9 people. It included the round-trip fare to Lijiang, tickets and large cableway tickets. It also included a special local chicken hot pot lunch, as well as winter clothes and oxygen bottles. They will be given away. Personally, I think it is still very good value, at least cheaper than those ordered by outside travel agencies. And one thing worth mentioning is that it was the first time I reported to Duojia for a local tour. I didn't expect the service to be so good. When booking, I promised to play purely without shopping. The itinerary really didn't include any shopping points. This experience is really awesome, give 32 likes.

2 The must-have for climbing snowy mountains are down jackets and oxygen bottles. According to your actual situation, if you feel necessary, you can buy an extra bottle of oxygen. It is still very necessary to transition from an altitude of 4506 to 4690 meters.

Ancient city and food

The ancient city of Lijiang in early summer has a touch of laziness and casual nature. The sun is right in May. Walking on the streets of the ancient city, you can see flowers blooming everywhere. Lijiang Ancient City is a rare and well-preserved ancient city of ethnic minorities in China. It gathers the essence of Naxi culture and completely retains the historical features formed since the Song and Yuan Dynasties. People who have been to Lijiang can't help but like it here. If you have been to Lijiang, if I tell you, this is my fourth time to come to Lijiang. Maybe I will come again in the future, so you will definitely understand how I feel.

Lijiang is located at the intersection of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet provinces. The ancient Naxi people live here. This is a versatile nation. The Naxi people are unique in art. Their poetry, painting, sculpture, music and dance arts are famous in ancient and modern times. The Dongba script is the script used by the Naxi ethnic minority. Its script form is very primitive, even more primitive than the oracle bone inscriptions. It belongs to the early form of the origin of the script, but it can also be completely recorded and collected. On the streets of the ancient city of Lijiang, you can see that the beautiful Dongba script was written on the walls by the local people in an exaggerated form, complementing the old streets and giving a unique ethnic style.

Lion Rock is the best place to overlook the whole city of Lijiang. Standing on a high place, you can see white walls and gray tiles and long white clouds in your eyes, giving you an ancient look. Lijiang is the only ancient city without walls in China. It is also known as the Gusu City on the Plateau. It was formed during the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years, but it still maintains a leisurely pace of life.

Standing on the top of the ancient city, I encountered the freehand brushwork of white walls and black tiles and the flowing clouds in the sky. At this moment, I began to wait wholeheartedly, waiting for the flowing clouds to fill the sky, waiting for the breeze to blow clearly, and the Yulong Snow Mountain was standing quietly in front of me.

There are many reasons to like Lijiang. The long blue stone road exudes an atmosphere of freedom and laziness. Everyone who stays in the inn is a person with a story. They love Lijiang on the tip of their tongue and embrace all corners of the world. Taste buds, but have a unique flavor of Lijiang.

Yun Xueli next to the Mufu, with the ancient and pastoral log tones, walked through the small courtyard full of flowers to the second floor to experience the steaming fireworks.

The warm sun shines on Yun Xueli's dining table. The wood-colored tables and chairs exude the atmosphere of nature. She sits quietly here. Outside the window is the long blue stone street. People come and go, but it is very quiet here.

Chicken bean flour is the most classic snack. Soak the chicken beans thoroughly, grind them, filter them into paste, then cook them to grey-white, pour them into various containers, cool and shape them. This is the chicken bean jelly. Jelly No. 3 is generally used as a food to cool off the heat. In addition to cold salad, Lijiang Chicken Bean Jelly can also be eaten hot. All the jelly sellers on the streets and alleys have two preparations to meet customer requirements. Most of them are eaten cold during the summer season. The crystal powder slices are marinated and mixed with red pepper, green leek, pepper, mustard, sour vinegar and other seasonings, and then add various sesame, spicy, and sour seasonings according to each person's taste. After a bowl, the whole body warms up.

The signature mango rice noodles are very fond of the appearance. I think most girls will like this snack. The thin rice noodles have a strong mango flavor inside and are refreshing and slightly sweet on the entrance.

Yun Xueli on the tip of the tongue is a secret snow mountain fish. Fish that grew up drinking water from the Yulong Snow Mountain. After Yun Xueli's unique secret production, it has an entrance Q-bullet, which is exquisite and delicious, homemade spring water tofu, signature mango rice noodles, wild black truffle steamed eggs, wild boletus fresh meat dumplings, every dish is amazing.

Lijiang on the tip of my tongue is sweet plum wine. Every year, during the ripening season of plums, Yun Xueli asks the farmer's grandma to slowly stew the plum wine with a uniform color and sweet taste over a month's time. Even if I don't drink alcohol, I am willing to drink three or two glasses.

After dinner, we made an appointment with our friends to watch a 5D performance in Lijiang, so we took a taxi to Lijiang Genesis.

The ancient city of Lijiang lives in the ancient city of Lijiang. This is a versatile minority. Dongba script is their ancient writing, which predates the appearance of oracle bone inscriptions. Entering the founding century of Naxi, you can travel through history in the fantasy of sound, light and shadow. Long river to understand the ancient Naxi culture.

As soon as I walked into the gate, I was infected by the exotic Naxi songs and dances. Amid the cheerful music, the Naxi people sang and danced, making this trip different.

Follow the guide into the long scroll of Naxi customs and start my fantasy journey in the passionate Naxi songs and dances. The Naxi Genesis Cultural Experience Center venue is divided into 5 parts: Naxi Overture, Naxi epic "Genesis", 100 meters of Naxi customs digital scroll, VR Naxi fantasy tour, Naxi original art

I have been nostalgic for a long time in front of the dynamic scroll of Naxi customs. This is a 100-meter-long and 3-meter-high Naxi customs map. Starting from the Yulong Snow Mountain, according to the actual geographical distribution map of the ancient city of Lijiang, the flowing pictures show The characteristics of Naxi houses, the customs of the ancient tea-horse road, and the artistic conception of small bridges and flowing water. Here, you can fully understand Lijiang and Naxi.

One of the most impressive pictures was when the commentator asked me what pattern the light and shadow projected was, but he had to think for a long time before answering.

In the Genesis Era of Naxi, there is also a VR experience. In just ten minutes, I can fly through history and experience the past and present life of Naxi culture in fantasy. Because there is no way to take photos, people who like them can experience it for themselves. The whole experience is 12 minutes and is magical and interesting.

It is still very interesting to experience the Dongba papermaking process and see how the smart Naxi people use nature's resources to create Dongba paper with simple texture. It is still very interesting to personally participate in this process.

Naxi Genesis is located next to the Yuyuan Bridge in the ancient city of Lijiang, only a 5-minute walk from the Dashuichang in the ancient city of Lijiang.

As night falls in the ancient city, the lights are dimly lit, and the years are peaceful. I wonder if you have also looked down on Lion Rock from high places when you came to Lijiang? The lights of the houses built against the mountains gradually lit up, which was a feeling different from daytime.

In fact, I like the nights in Lijiang very much. I like to stroll on the Qingshiban Road and carefully observe the small shops on both sides of the street. Those nice names have the delicate thoughts of the owners. Most of the people who come here to open stores are people from all over the world. Because they have a dream of literary style in their hearts, they came to Lijiang and stayed there. Therefore, Lijiang is tolerant and most stores are very easy-going. Even if you don't buy anything, if you like, they will still chat with you. Talk about Lijiang's beautiful scenery and delicious food like an old friend.

I like to travel everywhere and sit down quietly. In the ancient city of Lijiang, there are many small shops that sell postcards. Write a postcard and send it to myself. When I go home, the postcard is quietly waiting for my return. Now, the small shop also provides services to send it to the future. If you want, send a postcard to your future self. When it opens in a few years, you should feel a different mood.

Part 2 Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

If you come to Lijiang, stand on Lion Mountain and overlook it. In the distance from the rows of roofs, there is a towering high mountain under the blue sky and white clouds. It is particularly eye-catching. The highest point of the crisscrossing peaks is a sharp contrast between the white snow and the blue sky. For the fourth time, I came to Lijiang. From the Ancient City of Lijiang at an altitude of 2200 to Ganhaizi at an altitude of 3100 meters, I took a cable car and climbed straight to the Glacier Park at 4506 meters, and then climbed to the snowy mountain peak at 4680 meters. The Yulong Snow Mountain confessed to me with its pure white and clear blue.

I have too many yearning for the Yulong Snow Mountain, but I miss it every time I arrive in Lijiang. I think, maybe there is a destiny that I have to wait until today before I can have close contact with the Yulong Snow Mountain. All the good things, I will be late but never fail to come. This feeling is also very good.

After driving for more than two hours from the ancient city of Lijiang, we arrived at the Yulong Snow Mountain. On the way, we would come to a supply station to collect our down jackets and oxygen bottles. There were many people queuing up the mountain early in the morning. After picking up the tickets, we took the bus. We arrived at Ganhaizi at an altitude of 3100 meters, and then began to take the cable car up the mountain.

The cable car on the Yulong Snow Mountain basically rises in a straight line. From an altitude of 3100 meters to 4506 meters, many of these heights will still respond. At this time, the oxygen cylinder in your hand will take effect and you can absorb oxygen in a small amount of time. Arriving at the observation deck and overlooking the entire Yulong Snow Mountain, you will feel very shocked. On one side, there is lush greenery and on the other side, it is covered with white snow. Nature is so magical. When we change our angle, we will receive different surprises.

When you get off the cable car, you will see the wide observation deck. There will be a huge 4506-meter sign around you. You can check in here to remember. Some people can walk on the observation deck without having to climb the stairs. At a height of 4680, the Yulong Snow Mountain is about 15 kilometers north of Lijiang and has a total length of 75 kilometers. It is a mountain range closest to the equator in the northern hemisphere with snow-covered all year round. It is juxtaposed with Zhongdian Snow Mountain across Jiangxi and Mianshan in the east. The Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi, meaning "Tianshan Mountain". There are a total of thirteen rolling snowy peaks, which are extremely spectacular when you see them with your own eyes.

Standing on the mountain and looking at the distance, facing the magnificent snow-capped mountains, you will feel your own insignificance, always maintain a reverence for nature, and do what you can. This is the strength of my walking for so many years. The main peak of the Yulong Snow Mountain has a steep fan with an altitude of 5596 meters. It is the lowest latitude and highest altitude mountain in the northern hemisphere in the world. In the eyes of the Naxi people, the Yulong Snow Mountain is the embodiment of their patron saint, the three gods. Every year, more than three grand festivals are held to celebrate.

I decided to start climbing to an altitude of 4860 meters. There are still many people on the simple wooden plank road. Everyone is willing to challenge themselves and is unwilling to leave their regrets on the Yulong Snow Mountain. You can see that there is a base station on an independent mountain peak. Therefore, during the climb, the mobile phone signal is always very good.

Along the winding wooden plank road, you can see the commanding heights of the five-star red flag flying in the distance. There is the observation deck at an altitude of 4680 meters. Although the altitude has only increased by more than 100 meters, it is very difficult. Many people feel dizzy and chest tightness. I feel that my legs are a little soft, and I have to rest after walking a flight of stairs. The oxygen in my hands also plays a big role. The Yulong Snow Mountain spreads out towards the ancient city like a fan. The 13 peaks of the entire mountain are arranged vertically from south to north. There are 19 modern glaciers distributed on the Yulong Snow Mountain, 15 on the east slope and 4 on the west slope. The snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round.

When I step on the observation deck at an altitude of 4680 meters, I feel a sense of sacred and joy in my heart. The kind of challenge to myself is the lasting happiness brought by persistence. The Yulong Snow Mountain has climbed all the way, and the soil has changed. It is also an important distribution area of biodiversity in northwest Yunnan. This sacred mountain in the eyes of the Naxi people is also one of the reasons why everyone came to Lijiang.

We will face many happy moments in our lives, either a flower blooming or a sunset, or just like I am sitting quietly at this moment, with a silent snowy mountain in front of us. We are all loved unhurriedly by time. As long as we maintain a hardworking and progressive heart, we will all grow into what we want.
