Arriving at the Ancient City of Lijiang on the first day, the night in the Ancient City of Lijiang is free, and the noise and tranquility can be switched at will. Walking freely makes people linger. On their birthdays, they climb the Wangulou of Lion Mountain. The ancient cypresses that have been more than 500 years old accompany them and climb the commanding heights. The southeast, northwest and the east can overlook the ancient city of Lijiang, the new city and the snowy mountains respectively. The scenery is very beautiful! Along the way, I can visit Mufu (now Lijiang Cultural Museum) to experience the humanistic connotation and smell the first sweet-scented osmanthus this year. I am very lucky.

Shuhe ancient town

Yunnan traveled to Dali Ancient City, Lijiang Ancient City, and Shuhe Ancient Town. But Shuhe Ancient Town gives me a peaceful beauty. It is not like the ancient city of Dali and Lijiang, which lacks the noise of many tourists and has a less strong commercial atmosphere. The spring water in every household is crystal clear. Want to go out for a walk and be quiet, it is a good choice.

The following comments may seem like childcare, but I am really not ~ this store is too! Good! Eat! Here! Those who were next to several popular restaurants were attracted by the small copper pot rice, but were captured by the small pot rice, braised pork and the complimentary Pu 'er wine.

The rice crisps in the small pot are very fragrant and the potatoes inside are delicious.

Water poplar flowers still retain the fragrance of vegetables, without the taste of MSG ~

The stir-fried chicken with double pepper is a little Sichuan flavor. The chicken is tender and the mushrooms are delicious.

You must eat Pu 'er tea braised pork!!! It was all taken in two clicks. The meat was fat but not greasy. Even the soup was used for bibimbap, and there were also tiger skin quail eggs. The amount was just right. The four people still had their appetite after eating it.

Pu 'er wine is so special. It smells and smells of tea in the mouth. For the first time, I really feel that the wine tastes good.

Although this is quite popular, it is not just a popular Internet celebrity store. The owner feels that he still puts great care in doing everything, and the waiter has a very good attitude. He came to Shuhe Wall Crack to recommend this store!

Let's go! Shangri-La, here we come!

When I got up in the morning and set out, it was not yet dawn, but the small restaurant at the door had already turned on and started to open, and there was a curl of fog coming from the store. On a slightly cool morning with a light rain, it becomes quite a blessing to drink a bowl of porridge and eat a cage of warm steamed buns. They are hard-working, and they wait for those who leave early and return late, handing over a bowl of hot rice. Small stalls in small shops in the market are always down-to-earth and people like it ~

After breakfast, we went to the designated place to get on the bus. The driver was already waiting when we arrived.

After picking up guests at various boarding points around the ancient city, we set off for Shangri-La of our dreams!

The journey was long, and I slept one after another ~

When I woke up, I looked outside the window. It was already blue sky and white clouds, and I was very happy.

On the way, we passed a section of Shangri-La Observation Deck, and the driver stopped the car and let everyone get off and take photos and go to the toilet.

All the toilet spots I encounter along the way in Yunnan need to pay 1 yuan ~

In front of me, there is a magnificent landscape.

There are large clouds surging in the blue sky, and distant mountains are endless. Light green, dark green, and dark green are spread out in layers. There are winding sheep intestines paths and dotted homes in the mountains.

Every time I encounter such a scene, I can't take my eyes off.

Shangri-La's original name was Diqing. James Hilton once wrote the book "The Lost Horizon", which depicts "Shangri-La", a place of eternal peace and tranquility far among the mountains of the east.

In October 1996, an inspection tour to find Shangri-La in Yunnan was launched. In 1997, the Yunnan Province government held a press conference and announced that Shangri-La was in Diqing. In 2001, it renamed the former Zhongdian County to Shangri-La.

"Shangri-La" means "sun and moon in the heart" in Tibetan

The sun and moon in your heart are indeed a very beautiful place.

After staying at the observation deck for a while, I continued to move forward. After walking for about an hour, I finally arrived at the ancient city of Dukezong.

The ancient city of Dukezong is built in accordance with the ideal country of Shambala in the Buddhist scriptures. It has two meanings: "castle built on stone" and "moonlight city".

Unfortunately, the place was severely burned down by fire in January 2014, and now what is in front of us is a rebuilt ancient city.

The wooden houses I passed by lost the color of time.

Shangri-La is more than 3400 meters above sea level. Most people will not have much reaction when they go there, but climbing mountains will be more difficult than usual, and you need to stop and rest for a while after walking for a while.

However, some places in Pudacuo have high altitudes and people with some heart problems need to be cautious and do what they can.

Probably because of noon, there were very few people in the ancient city. Walking on the road paved with stone slabs, looking at the Tibetan wooden houses and the quiet small shops on both sides, everything looked at peace of mind.

Napa Haiila Grassland is the largest spring pasture in northwest Yunnan. It belongs to a seasonal lake. In the dry season, it is a wetland meadow and in the rainy season, it is a lake. There is no need for tickets to visit.

When we came, one part of the road was grassland and the other part was lake. The scenery was excellent, and I was quite satisfied ~

The sky is unbelievably beautiful. Large tracts of clouds are rapidly changing their appearance in the sky. The distant mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the light is clearly dark in the mountains.

Nearby is a large grassland, with herds of cattle and sheep leisurely eating grass.

That feeling, how to put it.

At this moment, I was sitting at the table and looking at the photos at that time. The moment the camera clicked, I was smiling.

Quietly recall the mood at that time and write down bits and pieces.

On busy days, I get up early, go to work, and occasionally have an argument over work matters, get off work, and have dinner.

Then turn on the computer and seize the hour or two to revise drawings and think about writing until my mother urged me to go to bed, and the day ended again.

I feel a little tired physically, and occasionally I will secretly be lazy, but what I never want to give up is that I must record everything I have done and felt along the way.

In this way, as time goes by, I can safely forget some things, because I have remembered them here.

It seems to be a relief and an explanation.

It seems to be a relief and an explanation.

It is empty and peaceful, and it is a peaceful Shangri-La.

I came here, and you showed me the most beautiful Shangri-La.

The cool wind blew past our faces and whistled in our ears. At this time, we stopped talking.

Just follow this road and savor the silent beauty of the Napa Sea.

If we continue to move forward, we will reach Songzanlin Temple. Because it was late, we stopped moving forward and returned the same way.

On the way back, dark clouds came down, and it began to rain, but the other side of the sky was still bright.

The sky in Yunnan can be said to be sunrise in the east and rain in the west, but the road is sunny but sunny.

Because of the rain, I saw a rainbow and got off the car to take pictures.

I had rarely seen rainbows before. In the past two years, I have always accidentally discovered a rainbow when I have been running around.

The invisible but tangible rainbow can always bring joy to people. If you see a rainbow in a flash, you will be very lucky.

I'm really lucky that you didn't exist before, but you will soon disappear. Coincidentally, at this moment, I passed by you, stopped, and looked at you.

We were meant to meet, so we met.

Napa Sea should be an unexpected beauty, so I am particularly happy.

In detail, it is just a sky, a few white clouds, a lake, and several continuous distant mountains.

But it is a rare time when everything is just right. You are so beautiful that you happen to be my favorite.

So you have been lingering in my heart and I can't get rid of you.

It was getting dark.

A group of friends I met at the hotel, more than a dozen people were chatting and laughing, making it extremely lively.

A traveler I encounter unexpectedly, an acquaintance I encounter unexpectedly, even if I don't know where you will be tomorrow, I don't know whether I will meet again on the road in the future, whether I can still walk together, I'm just happy to meet at this time.

Many people and many things are extremely valuable because they are short.

I must treat each other sincerely in every moment.

As for the future, leave it to the future.

Good night, Shangri-La on a rainy night.

When I woke up in the morning, it was a little cloudy.

Go to Pudacuo National Park today.

Pudacuo is an important part of the world natural heritage "Three Parallel Rivers" Scenic Area. The scenic spot consists of three parts, namely Yudu Lake, Militang Plateau Ranch, and Bita Sea.

Shudu Lake takes more than 3 kilometers on foot, Militang Plateau Ranch is a viewing platform, and sightseeing buses only stay there for ten minutes, and Bita Sea takes more than 4 kilometers on foot.

There is a long distance between the three attractions, so you must take a sightseeing bus. After entering the gate, get on the bus in sequence and go to the first stop, Yudu Lake.

The weather in Yunnan is like this. It was covered with dark clouds just now, but suddenly it is clear to see the sun again. This mountain is bright and sunny, but it is heavy on the other mountain.

When we walked to the Lake of Yudu, the sky suddenly cleared up and the clouds moved quickly under the blue sky.

There are clusters of meadows growing in the lake, and the sky and distant mountains are reflected in the water, just like a picture of mountains and rivers.

Continue moving forward and walk into a virgin forest. Most of the trees here are very old. The trees have unique beards that hang down long. According to the guide on the sightseeing bus behind, these trees are extremely precious. It can only grow like this in places with good ecology.

While playing and taking photos, we walked out of the Shudu Lake Scenic Area in less than two hours.

Line up and take a bus at the bus point to the second attraction, Miritang Plateau Ranch.

The sightseeing bus shuttled through the mountains and quickly arrived at the Miritang Alpine Ranch. Everyone got off the bus to take photos.

Here is a grassland surrounded by mountains. There are cattle and sheep grazing leisurely on the grassland, and the view is extremely broad.

There is a fat bird on the branch of the tree. Stealing closer to it and patting it.

I love birds very much. This love is never because I want to keep them in cages, but because I like to watch them fly freely and stay.

Through the jungle, there is a grassland. There are still sparkling water waves in the grassland, and several horses are eating grass.

The weather changes quickly and it is hazy.

This vast green area is refreshing.

After walking here, you will arrive at the bus stop for the return gate.

At this point, Pudacuo's tour is over.

When I drove back to the ancient city of Dukezong, the sky became clear.

There is only the wind in the air, standing here, letting the prayer flag fly and beat in front of me, and its whisper in my ears. Have you ever given me your blessings?

Most of the people I met on the road did not see each other for a short period of time; the meeting of people always seemed so magical.

If we had never come here and didn't know each other, then whether Lijiang or Shangri-La was just a short stop. When we met, we both had an old friend in a different city. Talking about that city, it was always more cordial.
