It’s been three or four months since I came back from Yunnan, and I haven’t quite gotten used to it yet. I didn’t even wear short-sleeves in Yunnan. When I got back to Guangdong, the humidity and heat made me a little disgusted. According to my friend, it would be nice to leave everything behind and travel to Yunnan after the college entrance examination. However, the hellish news of the college entrance examination when I came back tore me to pieces. However, I am very glad that I persevered to the end and completed the arduous "travel" of my twelve-year study career. No matter what the result is, I will learn to face it calmly, and in the future life, I will use my enthusiasm and hard work. hands padded back.
Molly said: "Youth is full bloom, play is crazy, departure is arrival, the world is at your feet." I like this sentence very much. The world isn't on the map, it's not in the book, it's not in the head, it's outside. For this reason, I hope that I have rich and wonderful experiences and attempts, such as this time I bravely embarked on a trip to Yunnan, come back and calm down to complete this article, and share with you all the surprises I have along the way.

Among the Southwest and Northwest, the degree of development of Yunnan's tourism industry can be ranked first, just like the ancient city of Lijiang, it can be said to be a household name. It has appeared countless times in many travel programs, such as "Far From Home", and some travel books. But I have been busy with my homework, so I haven't spared time to go to Yunnan, a beautiful place, and I don't want to sign up for a group. What I have always dreamed of is to walk freely in the ancient city of Lijiang with a bag and a camera. After graduating from high school, I knew: Here's my chance! Of course, for this trip, my mother and I did a lot of "homework". The so-called "homework" refers to some preparations before the trip, such as food and accommodation, scenic spots, hotel ticket reservations, clothing preparations, etc. In fact, "traveling as soon as you say it" is sometimes unrealistic, especially for a rookie like me. So, we just carried two bags and dragged a box and set off! (Actually, people of the same age don’t need to drag boxes when traveling. Rumbling all the way is neither pleasant nor relaxing. Carrying two large bags is enough, but dragging boxes also has its advantages. It can pack the daily necessities you want to bring. Feet with feet.)
The trip to Yunnan is a plan that rolls around in my mind day and night. I collect all kinds of microblogs and webpages about Yunnan, and the information I get from friends and relatives on Weibo. For me, This is the motivation for my struggle in the third year of high school. Sometimes, people have a wish, a dream to support us to move forward is also very good.
I woke up early in the morning on June 12, 2018, had breakfast, took a taxi to the terminal, and then took the special flight (bus to the airport) to Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, had a noodle at the airport, and then flew from Guangzhou to Lijiang. In the terminal building, I happened to meet a classmate from elementary school. She was flying from Guangzhou to Harbin. After saying hello, I found out that the family was traveling to Harbin and Inner Mongolia. Dadongbei is not bad! At the airport, unfortunately, I caught a cold and sneezed while waiting to board the plane. I carried the germs all the way around, and even brought them to Yunnan. Please forgive me. v It’s been more than a week since I came back from Yunnan, and I’m still not used to it. I didn’t even wear short sleeves in Yunnan. When I got back to Guangdong, I was disgusted by the heat and humidity. According to my friend, it would be nice to leave everything behind and travel to Yunnan after the college entrance examination. However, the hellish news of the college entrance examination when I came back tore me to pieces. However, I am very glad that I persevered to the end and completed the arduous "travel" of my twelve-year study career. No matter what the result is, I will learn to face it calmly, and in the future life, I will use my enthusiasm and hard work. hands padded back.
The very punctual Capital Airlines, give you a thumbs up!
Sitting in the window seat of the plane with a panoramic view
The beautiful scenery along the way made me look forward to this trip even more strongly. The plane landed at Sanyi Airport in Lijiang at 3:00 p.m. that day (a two and a half hour flight). luggage gone...
Lijiang Old Town has another name - Dayan Ancient Town. It took about 40 minutes by taxi to arrive at Lijiang Old Town. We got off at the southwest gate of the ancient city, packed our bags and dragged our suitcases, and were busy looking for the free-living station we had booked on Qunar in the rain. The inn is very comfortable, the environment is also very good, and there are free photos! (However, most of the inns in the ancient city of Lijiang are made of wood, so the sound insulation effect will not be ideal. During the days when I was in Lijiang, I might wake up the next room when I sneezed, but I still slept soundly)
A Fei and his brothers in the inn are roasting a whole lamb in the yard, I am drooling, I asked A Fei if they can join, they said, single girls are free, hehe! so happy~~
It's almost evening after packing up my luggage, but in Lijiang in June, it basically doesn't get dark until after 7:30. Roasting the whole lamb has begun, the first time in my life to experience roasting a whole lamb, thanks to A Fei, and his good brothers, Shi Shi and Mo Hui. It’s a pleasure to meet you. We drank Tusi Yinjiu in the yard, and Mo Hui said that it was the wine that Master Mufu used to drink. We talked a lot about travel, about Tibet, about Nepal...these brothers are all I like to travel, and I can often go to Tibet, Nepal, India... I sound envious of them, when can I be like them?
My mother has been exercising a lot recently, and she never stopped walking, running and climbing mountains. When she flew directly from Guangzhou to Lijiang, and the altitude suddenly rose to more than 2,600 meters, the altitude sickness knocked on the door on the first night. When she arrived at the inn, she fell asleep...
I chatted with Brother Fei until two o'clock. The next day we got up early, went outside to eat a cross-bridge rice noodle and started to visit the ancient city.
When I booked an inn on Ctrip, I was fascinated by the cute Alaskan dog Peter in the inn. He also became my friend in Lijiang, and I petted him every day when I went in and out. It seems that I am not as good as Peter, he gets up earlier than me!
Good morning Lijiang~
After experiencing the depressing weather of yesterday's rainy day and suffering from mild altitude sickness, my mother woke up more energetic than me after sleeping. In the case of some friends strongly requesting the live broadcast of the photos of the journey, I have been asked: Why are there so few people in the ancient city of Lijiang? In fact, like visiting Lijiang Old Town, Phoenix Ancient Town, Chengdu Kuanzhai Alley, etc., friends who still like to take pictures with a camera should get up early, otherwise there will be passers-by in your photos as the background, the so-called passers-by.
My mother and I ran towards the famous big waterwheel in the ancient city of Lijiang. There was an inscription by Chairman Jiang Zemin on the signboard next to the big waterwheel. Later, the number of people visiting the ancient city began to increase, so we, who were not very interested in this, chose to go for food. It was because we saw a small shop along the way with a sign saying, "Flowers are blooming, it's time to eat cakes!" Hot Let the steaming flower cakes go!
One meter of sunshine in Lijiang, riding alone for thousands of miles, slow life in Lijiang, soft time are already old-fashioned words
It is said that there is a legend of "one meter of sunshine" in Lijiang: every autumn equinox is the day when the sun and the moon meet and shine together. magnificent. And the gods will bestow the most perfect sunshine of love in the world on that day. If a couple can bathe in this short but precious sunshine, they can get eternal love. When I saw the name of the store "Yi Mi Sunshine", I thought of the TV series "Yi Mi Sunshine". Lijiang is so famous because of it. Many people stop here because of it, so many people give up their envied jobs and come here. The story of opening a small shop in the ancient city of Lijiang.
We went shopping all morning, and after lunch, I went to find the author of this book, Xiaopeng, holding "Ten Years of Backpacking". He is also a young man like Ah Fei, a backpacker! I have read both of Brother Xiaopeng's two books ("Ten Years of Backpacking" and "Why We Traveled"), and I have sincere admiration for Brother Xiaopeng, a backpacker who really travels around and loves life.
At first I didn’t see Xiaopeng, but I saw Rong Fang who was finishing the painted work "Face Brushing" (I learned about it on Xiaopeng Weibo), thanks to Rong Fang who helped to call out the Brother Xiaopeng (thanks to Sister Rongfang!).
There is a feeling that this trip is not in vain in this life~ Brother Xiaopeng’s brush signature is very special~ I am excited! Brother Xiaopeng, I look forward to your new work on your trip to South America.
The sky in Lijiang is an unforgettable blue, a pleasing blue
Already bouncing back to the ancient city...
Back in the ancient city for dinner, I shared a table with my two sisters. Sharing a table is also a kind of fate. We chatted about travel while waiting for the food to be served. They actually met on the road. Sister Hui from Shandong has successfully secured a postgraduate entrance examination and is planning to study in Dalian, while the other is Sister Wen Chao from Shaanxi who is preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination. I feel that families in the north place a lot of emphasis on studying, and their views are really different. They hitchhiked all the way from Dali and were going to Lugu Lake, while we planned to go to Shangri-La and then go to Lugu Lake. I really admire some college students who travel together after graduation. A firm and brave heart is exchanged for constant surprises along the way. This feeling must be wonderful, and I believe I will have such opportunities in the future. To learn more, the two sisters ended their trip in Lugu Lake and headed to Shangri-La, and then took the Yunnan-Tibet line to Tibet! Tough girl! We left WeChat messages after dinner, and they warmly invited me to visit Dalian and Xi'an, thank you so much. I remember Sister Hui said on WeChat: "Maybe we can meet again in Lugu Lake!" After saying goodbye, she went back to the inn to ask Ah Fei about going to Shangri-La.
At the end of our day of wandering in the ancient city, we returned to the Free Life Inn. A Fei and the others continued their fairy-like life. They made a lot of dishes and cooked and ate a bunch of guests in the yard of the inn. I didn’t go to eat~
Shangri-La, Tibetans call it a place of good fortune and a paradise in the eyes of the world. People have used many beautiful words to describe this place, such as fairyland, paradise, treasure house of resources, tranquility, harmony and so on. A famous British novelist, James Hilton, once called Shangri-La a land of eternity, peace and tranquility in his work "The Lost Horizon". The special place is Shangri-La by the Naizi River." (The county seat of Shangri-La is also Jiantang Town, where the government is located.) Only after reading "Pictures and Texts" can I understand it. I think that the Chinese have translated the articles of this British writer so well. Beauty, we must go to experience experience~
The Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Jinsha River has high mountains and deep valleys, narrow rivers and swift waters, and the waves are magnificent.
Precipitous canyons and rushing rivers constitute the exciting and romantic scenery here.
The ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La is also called the ancient city of Moonlight. The traces of vicissitudes carved by the ancient city over the years need people to taste with their hearts.
Take a nap in the car and arrive at Shangri-La when you wake up. My first impression of Shangri-La is that it is pure, and there is no disappointment in Shangri-La as some people say. The average altitude of Shangri-La is more than 3,000, and it gives people a feeling that they can touch the sky with their hands, and it is true.
A fire on January 11, 2014 basically destroyed the ancient city of Dukezong, the best-preserved and largest Tibetan settlement in my country and the hub of the ancient tea-horse road. Seeing this scene, my heart was full of regret, remembering the old Indian proverb: If we go too fast, stop for a while so that the soul can follow. The economy is growing rapidly, and the tourism economy is even hotter. At this time, whether it is scenic spots or cultural relics, they should get a breathing opportunity, and the relevant departments should do a good job in protecting them. To this end, what we can do is to respect the local culture and improve our own quality.
The blue sky of Shangri-La, the blue that will never be forgotten in a lifetime~
Legend has it that the sky here is the closest to heaven,
Legend has it that this is where dreams begin.
After leaving Moonlight Ancient City, Mo Hui made arrangements for dinner and was ready to participate in the large-scale national song and dance party "Night of Shambhala" in the Golden Hall. After leaving the restaurant, my mother shouted to me in surprise, "Look at the sky!" I looked up and was shocked by the pure and deep blue. Presumably, when a tired person sees this scene, all the fatigue will be swept away. , the rest is a piece of tranquility. Eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink with big bowls! Taste highland barley wine, buttered tea, and Tibetan snacks in the golden hall
This is my mom ~ let mom take a clubbing ~ everyone says we are two sisters
We wear "hata". In Tibetan areas, offering hada is a common and noble etiquette. The khata in the photo was presented to us by the Tibetan people when we entered the golden hall, which entrusts our best wishes. In the evening, Mohui took us back to their other home, Shangri-La Free Life Station, where are many backpackers, they have their own youth hostels, these backpackers are all going to Tibet, to Nepal, many, many... I also hope to be like them one day..
The next morning, I came to Pudacuo National Park in Shangri-La~
The lake on my left is called Shudu Lake. The weather is not beautiful, but I feel that the weather is pretty good as we walk. If the sun comes out, we will be roasted all the way. Pudacuo National Park is located in the center of the "Three Parallel Rivers" World Natural Heritage in Northwest Yunnan. It is the first national park in mainland China, integrating environmental protection, eco-cultural tourism, environmental education and community benefit functions. The altitude here is between 3500 meters and 4159 meters. For us in rainy days, winter clothes are a must! Although it is long and big, it makes us look like rice dumplings. When I first saw it, I also looked disgusted, but it can help us protect us from wind and rain. There is nothing wrong with it. You are a good red coat!
People have sighed: "This is nature!" Shudu Lake, even if you are under a cloudy sky, it is so beautiful!
It feels so refreshing to see the blue sky suddenly, the sunny day is coming, Mohui helped us take a lot of photos, hehe~~
Can't help but be shocked by a touch of green~ There are large areas of spruce and fir distributed here. They are unique tree species in the Hengduan Mountains. They are straight, tall and powerful.
We walked along the plank road and watched the introduction cards hanging on various plants. I was thinking that it is so beneficial for people to have "don't know" and "unknown" in their hearts. This makes people simple and humble, and it also makes people work harder, shine brighter, and have the enthusiasm to learn as they go. Forget who once said: "If the unknown world is too big, people will become stupid; if the unknown world is too small, people will be proud." Then keep an unknown world properly, and it will definitely benefit people endlessly .
This is the beautiful place where Zhang Jie and Xie Na held their wedding
Here are the waves of blue water
Red rhododendrons bloom here
The meadow here is like a blanket
The rhododendrons here can drunken fish...
There is a beautiful name here - Shudu Lake
At this moment, I have a small wish: I hope that happiness can be contagious——I remember my first jumping photo during my travels
Keep the respect, share the happiness, and take the memory away. When the flowers bloom, there is no surprise, no arrogance, only quietly blooming.
The scenery along the long plank road looks very comfortable
Walking on the plank road and looking up, I suddenly found this little guy. It is a chipmunk that everyone loves. Along the way, I saw people coming into close contact with them and feeding them.
Goodbye Pudacuo
goodbye shangri la
I can't forget your deep and pure blue sky
I can't forget your amazing lake meadow
I can't forget your tenacity and determination of the Tibetan people
I can't forget your peaceful place where people and animals coexist in harmony
We boarded the car after hiking the Bitahai section of Pudacuoli, had lunch, and then returned to Lijiang. In Shangri-La, there is no train but there is a small airport. For those who exercise regularly and have weak constitutions, it is not recommended to fly directly to Shangri-La, because the altitude suddenly rises to more than 3,000 meters after getting off the plane, and you will not be able to adapt. Symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty breathing will follow, and severe vomiting may occur. The biggest advantage of coming here by car is that you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.
Back in Lijiang, I looked affectionately at the ancient shepherd dog in the inn next door~Peter is a male, and this ancient shepherd dog is named Anna, and Anna is a bitch, with a natural feeling of being dumb
After dinner, we went back to the inn to drink tea and have a rest. Mohui helped us make a plan to go to Lugu Lake tomorrow, so that we could "fight" Lugu Lake after we had enough energy. The seven-hour drive should not be taken lightly. You have to rely on yourself for many things during the trip, so that you can get rid of your usual coquettishness and habitual dependence. Adequate preparation and a good attitude are the best responsibility for yourself.
The scenery on Lugu Lake Road is so beautiful just by clicking it casually
Lugu Lake is the place I am most looking forward to during this trip. I usually see photos of Lugu Lake on Weibo. I always wonder, is there really such a beautiful place in China? ! Or those photography enthusiasts use their "long guns and short guns" to create the effect of PS? ! But after reading their travel notes carefully, I can’t stop praising and sighing about Lugu Lake. The sapphire-like lake, the photos I took back are like postcards. The magical Mosuo matriarchal tribe, because of them, Lugu Lake It has such reputations as "Pearl of the Plateau", "A Pure Land in Northwest Yunnan", and "The First Wonder in the East". Therefore, I have the urge to step into this land and feel the various beauties of Lugu Lake.
Mo Hui helped us book a round-trip ticket (it takes 6-8 hours by car), but this is not part of a group tour. We were on our own for the 4 days in Lugu Lake (of course, we voluntarily paid 100 yuan for a home visit The Mosuo people know the customs of matriarchal families, except for the bonfire party at night, 100 yuan includes teatime, the so-called afternoon tea, that is, some snacks, and a big dinner with more than a dozen dishes...), then we want to You can go for a stroll. But for this round-trip ticket, you need to contact the driver one day in advance when you return to Lijiang (the driver will tell you the time period when you return to Lijiang to book a parking space on the road, you need to listen carefully and write it down). When we were in Lugu Lake, the shopkeeper of the inn told us that the expressway and airport were being built. It only took half an hour to fly directly from Lijiang to Lugu Lake, but it would take two or three years. June, July, and August belong to the rainy season, and the road conditions here are not very good. They are all mountain roads, and you can see big turns everywhere. It is much slower than usual.
Lugu Lake basically changes a group of tourists every two or three days. It is best to book hotels in advance (especially during the peak tourist seasons during holidays), otherwise you will look for hotels everywhere with heavy luggage, which will affect your mood. Traveling is all about having fun. Before we went to Yunnan, we had already booked an inn on the side of Lugu Lake. We lived in the Bian’an Inn in the innermost part of the Lige Peninsula. The owner of the inn is from Guangzhou. It is so comfortable to be able to speak Cantonese here! This should be the most expensive expense in my entire trip. We booked the cloud room on the second floor of 520 yuan. It is said that there will be a self-service kitchen here. A new round of big price adjustments is inevitable. It seems that other inns have also adjusted prices plan (but with regard to accommodation, we must take into account off-season and peak season issues). The Lige Peninsula is the most beautiful place in the entire Lugu Lake. If you come here and look at the surrounding environment, it is worth it! ! In this way, I walked into the mysterious world of Lugu Lake with anticipation and excitement.
When I saw Lugu Lake for the first time, the Lugu Lake under the cloudy sky inevitably extinguished some of our excitement. I hope it will be clear tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
We walked to the entrance of Huakai Youth Hostel on Moshang, and suddenly saw Sister Hui taking pictures on the shore of the lake with a DSLR. It was unbelievable that we could still meet here! But in order to catch a car to attend a home visit, we said goodbye to her in a hurry.
After the party, we went back to the inn to rest. After all, we were exhausted after driving for more than 7 hours...
The next morning, we opened the curtains in the inn, and what we saw was still cloudy, but we felt that Lugu Lake was different from yesterday. I don’t know if it was because of the tiredness that faded away, which made me feel very comfortable. Walking out of the inn, seeing the flowers on the side of the road and the willows on the bank, I felt a refreshing feeling. Then we walked out along the road and booked a part-time tour around the lake in front of other inns. The cloudy weather couldn't stop me from traveling!
We originally planned to rent motorcycles or ride around the lake that day, but because of the rain yesterday, there were landslides on the mountains along the way, and it is said that some people were injured. On a cloudy day accompanied by showers, it is too risky to rent a motorcycle or ride a bike, so we choose to go around the lake with bread (300 yuan, if you go to Zhaojiawan, it will be 350 yuan), considering that it is different from other People have some differences in carpooling. Everyone has different hobbies and opinions. It is difficult to reach a consensus. However, after traveling around the lake, I found that the price is completely acceptable. The master has good driving skills (the driver here is not called the driver, but the master, and the one who pulls pigs and cows is called the driver), patiently explained, and learned about Lugu on the way There are many interesting things about Lugu Lake, such as the custom of walking marriage, the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, the hiking route to Daocheng Yading, the farming habits here, the names and origins of the plants in the mountains and lakes along the way, and so on. For the first time around the lake, we didn't take too many photos due to the weather. Along the way, we are learning and playing. At noon, we saw the Guangzhou couple who ate big dinner together yesterday rented an electric car to go around the lake. We said hi to them and said goodbye first, because we planned to go to Goddess Bay.
The original name of Goddess Bay is Zhaojiawan. Goddess Bay is in the embrace of Houlong Mountain. In Mosuo folk mythology, Houlong and Gemu are a walking married couple. Goddess Bay is named because it faces Goddess Gemu Mountain. However, the people on this side of Lugu Lake are used to calling Zhaojiawan, Zhaojiawan, that is, everyone here is surnamed Zhao, the owner of the good man's snack - Zhao Fahao is an example. Brother Zhao is determined not to give kickbacks to tour guides. Therefore, people who come to Lugu Lake with a group may not have the opportunity to come to Haoren Snack Bar to taste the delicious food of Brother Zhao.
Haoren Snacks is run by Brother Zhao’s family. Brother Zhao is a helpful and courageous Sichuan man (Zhaojiawan already belongs to Sichuan). If you encounter problems such as being cheated, boarding and lodging during your travels in Lugu Lake, he will definitely come forward. I learned on Weibo that Brother Zhao often helps donkey friends who are in trouble, and uses the money earned from the small shop to support children in impoverished mountainous areas. These are definitely not personal hype or a show. In his store, we have seen with our own eyes that he collects a pile of thank-you letters written by travel friends and children, and the walls are covered with photos of tourists and Brother Zhao. Behind this pride and admiration, some people threatened the lives of Brother Zhao's family to get kickbacks, some maliciously slandered, some copied and imitated... But we all believe that good people will be rewarded! !
Brother Zhao’s good man’s snack is 30 yuan for one person to eat all you want, 30 yuan can fill you up, and there is free electric car charging! There is no need to order food here. There are four dishes in total: stewed chicken with matsutake, boiled lake fish, tomato and green vegetables mixed with sugar, as well as a variety of ingredients and super delicious buckwheat tea (in the end we were in the He bought matsutake mushrooms, tartary buckwheat tea, dried apples, and postcards of the scenery of Lugu Lake to send to friends). Why not spend in such a hospitable shop? ! We didn't eat much, but after a round of eating, Brother Zhao gave us another large plate of lake fish soup. We were embarrassed to refuse Brother Zhao's kindness, so we ate again until our stomachs were too full, and finally Brother Zhao also took a bunch of big and delicious dried apples and put them in my hand, which made me very embarrassed. If you don't reload the food when you eat here, Brother Zhao will think that you think his cooking is not good, and he won't let you go. Therefore, there are also interesting sayings from tourists: don’t come to Lijiang if you don’t come to Lugu Lake, and don’t come to Lugu Lake if you don’t have good snacks! While typing on the keyboard, I was relishing the deliciousness of good people’s snacks, and I still clearly remembered what Brother Zhao said to me: "Wow, you are from Guangdong. I like Guangdong tourists the most. Cantonese people know food best!" I believe that many Cantonese are very happy to see this~
On the way to the Marriage Bridge
The sky finally looks like it’s going to clear up a little bit, or is it different from the phone’s camera, and it feels different when taking pictures?
This freedom, this freedom, is enough to make us fascinated and infatuated...
Not long after leaving Caohai, I returned to Yunnan. This is in Daluoshui Village
Then we just enjoyed the scenery outside the car window, and quickly returned to the Rige Peninsula, which ended my first tour around the lake. In the evening, go to the entrances of various small shops and inns along the road in Lige to taste local delicacies. At first glance, at the table of other people, it turns out that the food of Lugu Lake is barbecue. In addition to barbecue, it is also barbecue, grilled chicken, roasted suckling pig, roasted lake fish and other grilled fish. vegetarian food. During the barbecue, I was particularly impressed by the fact that there was a guy who sold dried apples, but the dried apples we bought in Zhaojiawan were bigger and more delicious than his ones (you can try them), so we replied to him "thank you" , we have already bought it!" Hey, it seemed a little heartless. I felt guilty for a while and just ate it...
The next morning, I opened the curtains and was pleasantly surprised to find that the sky in Lugu Lake was clear! ! !
Seeing this sunny day, we were excited in the inn for several minutes, and we reached a tacit agreement to go to the lake again. So, we bounced back to the place where we rented noodles yesterday, rented a motorcycle for 150 yuan, and asked my mother to drive me to the lake again (motorcycle: 150 yuan electric car: 100 yuan mountain bike: 30 yuan as long as you can come back in the evening, leave an ID card or 400 yuan as a mortgage). The weather is getting better and better, full of excitement, the daughter's tour around the lake is starting again!
Lugu Lake uses sunlight to reveal her mysterious blue for us. Looking at this blue lake, I don't want to leave anymore.
Rig is such a great place, panorama
The famous lover tree in Nisai village and the puppy love tree on the right
An idyllic scenery~ There are walnut trees, corn and potato bases along the way
Your beauty and beauty are deeply in my mind~ thousands of miles of running and hundreds of nights of thinking, just to see the magnificence and blueness of Lugu Lake
Everything does not need to be deliberately modified. It is as magnificent and soft as an oil painting. Time is frozen at this moment. The beauty in front of us allows us to embrace the beauty around us, and embrace such a shocking lake blue~
On the last day of Lugu Lake~ boating around the lake to watch the sunrise, but there will always be sorrow and joy in waiting. The clouds were so strong that day that we couldn’t see the sunrise
On the fourth day of Lugu Lake, under the recommendation of the owner of the inn, Daming, we waited for a boat at the small pier outside the inn at 6:00 in the morning (the boat on Lugu Lake is called a pig trough boat) to watch the sunrise. It is said that the person who punted the boat was The landlord of the inn is quite cheap (10 yuan/person for many people, 15 yuan/person for less people). My aunt took the oar to row the pig trough boat to the center of the lake. Our group had been exclaiming and laughing non-stop, but after waiting for a long time, no complete fireball rose up. The clouds blocked the fireball too much, so we ended all the trips in Lugu Lake with a failed sunrise. It was a bit regretful, but it was precisely because of the regret that I recalled that I wanted to come here again impulse. On the return journey, the aunts who punted the boat sang songs, folk songs, local songs, Tibetan songs, and Naxi songs. I still can’t forget my aunt’s "Qinghai-Tibet Plateau" floating in the lake. The singing is so loud that we can’t see it if we sweep it away The disappointment of the sunrise and the little complaints of the heart.
Lugu Lake, we will come again~ You are much more beautiful than when we first met~
For four short days, I'm in your arms
sapphire crystal clear lake
Prayer flags swaying in the wind and filled with scriptures
Beautiful pastoral scenery on the road around the lake
Mosuo people have bright smiles on their faces
Overhead the night sky is filled with stars more precious than a carat diamond
How can I forget you...
After finishing the trip to Lugu Lake, we returned to the ancient city of Lijiang. Unfortunately, I had stomach discomfort along the way, so I could only endure the seven-hour drive in the car. In the evening, I consulted with the inn A Fei about going to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The team arranged by A Fei was organized by themselves. I am quite relieved. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is 570 yuan/person (including Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Glacier Park, and Blue Moon Valley. Tickets, big cableway, eco-car, transportation, renting winter clothes, oxygen cylinders, water, and 80 yuan for the maintenance of the ancient city), if you start by yourself, all the expenses will add up to this much, or even more . Regarding the ancient city maintenance fee (valid within one month), you only need to pay it when you go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or Heilongtan. The old rule is to store unnecessary luggage in the inn. This time, two people can leave with one bag!
The place where I took the big cableway was raining heavily, and my mood was a little anxious and complicated~ I was afraid that the place at a high altitude was just gray, eye-catching red coat, and a platform at an altitude of 4506. Sure enough, this is the most painful consumption for me. The surrounding area is gray, and I can't see the majestic cedar trees, the majestic snow-capped mountains, or the patches of snow. The wind and rain are too strong, blocking our pace to conquer the highest platform of 4680 meters. However, at an altitude of 4506, it is considered an improvement for us without any discomfort. The smile shown in the wind and rain is also quite rare. The red coat once again showed its majesty. Hmm...don't laugh at me~
Under such helpless weather conditions, transition is the key! Blue Moon Valley~I'm coming~
The blue water finally gave me some comfort~ I returned to Lijiang after walking around...
To be honest, my photography skills are terrible, and I am not good at taking night scenes, so there are very few photos in the ancient city of Lijiang. I have time to study photography when I go to college. I hope everyone can make do with it. The old town of Lijiang gives me the feeling that it has its own unique taste, but because the tourism industry is quite mature, it also has a strong sense of commercialization, just like Yangshuo West Street, which I visited last year in Guangxi. Whenever relatives and friends ask to bring souvenirs, I will coldly refuse, thinking that it is really unnecessary, the price is not affordable, heavy and inconvenient to carry, and as Goose Brother said in his travel notes: "Commodities and special products sold in national tourist areas are all It was born from a mother’s womb, and there are only a few that have unique local customs.” But here, the most impressive thing is that the owner of each small shop and bar beat the rhythm with a tambourine, playing Li Qian’s "In a Moment", I have listened to it dozens of times, or even hundreds of times. It is no exaggeration to say that when I turn on the computer to read travel notes in Sichuan and Yunnan, most of them use this song as the background music. I think every time I listen to this song, I will It's not bad to have a memory when I think of Lijiang.
In the ancient city of Lijiang, what makes me more disgusted is those people who solicit customers to go to Lashihai, Shuhe, and Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. As long as I wander around the ancient city of Lijiang, I will hear "Do you want to take a car and ride a horse in Lashihai? Go to Shuhe Ancient Town? Go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain?" Or just hear some people holding colorful ropes Ask: "Do you want a beautiful girl to braid?" For those who travel by car, we will reply "No" indifferently! That’s because we had an experience where we planned to wait for the bus to Shangri-La in front of No. 1 Middle School in Lijiang City, and asked them how to get there, but they hesitated for a while and pointed us to the wrong way. What, without paying much attention, I asked the owner of the nearby small shop again, we did not spend in their shop, and they all pointed us to the destination in detail. Generally speaking, the people here are very nice. As long as you are not greedy for petty gain or have a bad attitude, you can still have a very interesting and wonderful journey here. As the inn A Fei often said, there will never be a free lunch in the world , Even if it falls, it may not hit you, hehe~ Brother Fei is right, if you come to Yunnan in the future, don’t be greedy for cheap~ Seek advice from old Lijiang like Brother Fei!
When I was in Lijiang, every time I saw this dog in front of the story bar

Conclusion:
As soon as a bunch of postcards were thrown into the mailbox, I also voted in my heart to Yunnan with the words "thank you, goodbye", which means that my 10-day journey in Yunnan has ended perfectly. The happy days without burdens are really short-lived. I want to keep all of them as much as I can...The scenery I have seen, the people I have met, the road I have traveled, and the difficulties I have encountered are all my precious memories. We can't be on the road forever, but we will never abandon the fearlessness on the road. If there is such a journey in life, I believe it will also expand the boundaries of my heart and consciousness, allowing me to Wider and deeper.
