Dreaming about the long time—Dali, Lijiang, and Caiyunzhinan five days

I saw this sentence on Weibo: If there is anything in a person’s life called a clear conscience, in my opinion, your childhood has the joy of games, your youth has wandering experiences, and your old age has the joy of playing games. Have unforgettable memories. --Xiao Fuxing agrees after reading "Should Go Far Away When You Are Young". Thinking about the places that I have passively walked through these years because of work and love, they are still beautiful, broaden my horizons, and have more things to talk about. Whether there was joy in childhood in the past can no longer be changed. Fortunately, the current youth can still be controlled.

Therefore, Yunnan,

One kind of life is over, I need to start from here and find another kind of day that belongs to me. Use a time of travel to organize your thoughts and wave goodbye to the past. Every journey has to be experienced by oneself, and every mood has to be experienced by oneself... A peace is there.

Preparation

It is very important to prepare in advance for a trip to the southern country of Caiyun, the most beautiful frontier of China, and it must be done well. Therefore, some of the items I carried during my personal travel are listed below. Of course, the needs of each travel friend are different, and the items they carry are not exactly the same. I hope it can play a role in attracting ideas. In order to read this trip more perfectly, and to perfect the materials needed during the trip. So, the items I brought this time are as follows:

1. Backpack: On the one hand, the backpack can hold different lenses, drinking water and storage clothes. There are different lenses on the backpack, and it is very convenient to change the lens at any time according to different scenes.

2. Clothing: The weather in Dali is sometimes very hot, which can be said to be a summer climate. And at night it is winter climate. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, so it is necessary to bring short sleeves and thick clothes with you.

3. Regarding travel: travel should not be full of arrangements, and people will be very tired, so the meaning of travel will be lost.

4. About the itinerary

Day 6: Kunming - Return

Four hours after we boarded the plane, we arrived in Kunming on time. As the radio plane descended slowly, we looked out the window and saw that it was getting late and it was not raining. We were overjoyed! Passengers walked out of the cabin with big bags and small bags. We thought at the time, let others go out first. Anyway, we are the last ones to go out.

Near Kunming, the clouds have begun to wreak havoc, that's how the name Caiyunzhinan came about.

Considering that I will go to Shilin the next day, I rested early in the arranged hotel on the first day~

the next day

Stone Forest Scenic Area

The world's only karst landform scenic spot located in the subtropical plateau area, known as "the world's first wonder" and "Stone Forest Museum"

quite splendid,

Ashima~~Super many Ashima

Yunnan Stone Forest is a veritable "forest" composed of rocks. Walking through it, you can see strange stones standing in forests, abrupt and towering, with different postures.

"Due to the role of limestone, the stone pillars are separated from each other, and after years of wind and rain erosion, countless stone peaks, stone pillars, stalagmites, and stone buds have formed a collection of strange stones, waterfalls, lakes, caves, peak clusters, and hills. stone forest."

It is said that it is the filming base of the movie Ashima,? ? ? Looking back for a long time, I really don't know clearly, it seems that it is really old

Elephant, can you see it? To be honest, the tour guide also pointed out a lot of stones that look like mice and rabbits.
Dianchi Lake

Dianchi Lake, the soul of Kunming, Kunming's abbreviation "Dian" also comes from this. When you come to Kunming, you don't go to Dianchi Lake for a stroll. The beautiful park is also the main viewing place of Dianchi Lake.

The sun is very bright, stop and watch, the lake is shining brightly in the sun. Haigeng Park is a part of Dianchi Lake. Haigeng refers to a long embankment that goes deep into Dianchi Lake and divides Dianchi Lake into two lakes.

Feeding the seagulls is a must, but beware of them pooping on you

I like this picture so much, thanks to my sister for snapping it for me,

Dali Ancient Town

When we arrived in Dali, it was already evening. After we checked into the hotel in a hurry, it was not too late

Renmin Road

The intersection of Fuxing Road and Renmin Road____

The intersection of Fuxing Road and Renmin Road has such a scene every day

There are also some stalls at the Erhai Gate, and there are singing ___ under the Erhai Gate every night

The bustling Renmin Road, I am quite tired after playing for a day, go back early to rest, let's have a good time in Dali tomorrow

third day

Erhai trip

Erhai is not a sea, but it is as beautiful as the sea. This simple but not simple summary is enough to summarize the beauty and magnificence of Erhai Lake in Dali! It can also truly express the true colors of Erhai Lake! Yamano-kun's conclusion should be incompatible with most people's views, right?

Nanzhao Customs Island

The middle piece is Nanzhao Fengqing Island, and the position to watch the sunrise is at the left rear of Fengqing Island.

As the most clean, pure and comfortable area in Erhai Lake, it is duse. Here you can not only see the wonderful scenery of the vast sea, but also appreciate the beauty of the original ecological Erhai Natural Village!

Haha Next is our jeep + photo time.

But no matter how much I abduct, I can't deny that I'm good-looking

There are a few people in our group, two of whom met during the trip

So the photo above has been post-processed

The clouds and mists of Cangshan Mountain and the reflection of sunset glow in Erhai Lake form a breathtaking landscape. Such a view is really rare to see.

Erhai is not a sea, but it is as beautiful as the sea. But this is indeed a sea-like scenery. If it is not Dali, some people may really mistake it for the sea.

Compared with the real sea, in addition to the scenery of the sea, it also has scenery that the sea does not have. This is the most unique charm of Erhai Lake.

Like Shuanglang Ancient Town, Quse has its own charm and unique scenery, and the leisurely and elegant way of playing can better understand the feelings here. And the surrounding large and small islands, such as Little Putuo, are also very good choices, so I personally think that you can choose at least 3 hours of play time when digging for color. If you enjoy a slow life, you can consider a day as appropriate. Mr. Yamano just chose to play and dig colors all day long.

Don't you like the view here that is not the sea but is better than the sea?

Even simply sitting in a corner of the Erhai Lake in a daze is an extremely comfortable enjoyment.

The clouds in the distance and the nearby lake are in the same line, giving people a feeling of enlightenment of Buddhism. It's no wonder that Dali can become China's Buddhist capital, it's all determined by links, right?

Dali Ancient Town

After coming back from the Erhai Lake, I still firmly wandered in Dali, and even calmed my heart that has been fluctuating for a long time.

When I first arrived, Dali gave me the impression that it was not as prosperous as Lijiang as others said, but the accumulation of history and the traces of time are very obvious. The emperor's air and the imprint of the prosperous years are vaguely inspired by putting Buddha by his side. This is the Dali we met.

And the ancient city of Dali has witnessed the majestic culture and historical foundation of the former Dali Kingdom! The ancient city of Dali is not as big as the ancient city of Lijiang, but the history and culture it carries can be said to be well-known throughout Southeast Asia.

Wuhua Building

There is a rice noodle on the left next to the stone pillar in Foreigner Street. I don’t recommend it. I think it tastes weird? smell of mutton? Can't figure it out.

I like the feeling of ethnic style. It is very suitable for buying home to make sofa cushions, tablecloths and so on. They are quite distinctive.

Greasy and icy, I shook my head so much I ate it. Fresh out of the pan will be better

fourth day

The first stop, Dongba Secret Realm

This place is really beautiful, blue sky and white clouds, glass plank road. Snow mountains are also clearly visible. The key is that I saw a rainbow when I left, it was really perfect! The key is that no tickets are required, and parking is not paid!

This glass suspension bridge is very exciting, I dare not play

Lishui Sands Show

As the most unmissable large-scale performance, it is held indoors and can accommodate 5,000 people. This is a performance based on local characteristics, and it is also a large-scale performance with the theme of Lijiang national culture and historical stories. Rich, complete story, strong sense of experience, coupled with high-tech equipment, accompanied by elements such as dance, acrobatics, stage machinery, panoramic stunts and installation art, it gives people a perfect immersive experience. It is called "a must-see performance in a lifetime" by many people. ".

Lijiang

After watching the performance, I started to visit the ancient city. The ancient city of Lijiang is much larger and more prosperous than the ancient city of Dali.

When night fell, the sky turned blue and the lights in the ancient city were lit up one by one. There was a burst of singing from the bar street, and Lijiang, which was just lit up, looked even more charming.

Lijiang under the night has become another world, and tourists from all directions compose different carnival songs.

Sifang Street extends in all directions, and a small alley next to it is full of colorful oil-paper umbrellas, which is especially romantic at night.

Only at night, you will find that there are more tourists in the ancient city of Lijiang than you think.

The roads in the ancient city are paved with red breccia. As the most popular ancient town, the stone slabs have been polished and translucent.

The streets full of people, the shops with laughter and laughter, are layered in every place in Lijiang, and the stories of Lijiang are piled up, which can be quiet or carnival.

Lijiang at night does not need shooting stars to catch up with the moon, you just slow down and feel the unique charm of the ancient city at night.

There are lantern sellers by the Dashiqiao every night. I passed by many times, but I forgot to buy each time.

It took about 3 minutes to walk back to Hua Wushuang from Dashiqiao, and Xiaohe ran to the top of the building to take a night view.

The Lion Mountain under the night is more charming, and there are a few singing voices in the distance, which makes the night in Lijiang have a fireworks atmosphere.

fifth day

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is called "Oulu" in Naxi language. It is composed of thirteen continuous snow peaks, which look like silver dragons flying, so it is named Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Its main peak, Fan Steep, is 5,596 meters above sea level and is the snow mountain with the lowest latitude in the northern hemisphere.

I have always wondered why the buildings in Lijiang are not high. My friends in Lijiang told me that it is the habit of Lijiang people to look at the snow-capped mountains every day.

The scientific analysis is because Lijiang is in an earthquake zone, so there are no overly tall buildings, but in any case, the snow mountain is of great significance to Lijiang people.

It is often ridiculed as one of the most expensive scenic spots in China, but a trip to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is obviously indispensable.

Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has a cableway to the top of the mountain, which is probably the fastest scenic spot in China to get to the snow mountain.

However, it should be noted that to reach the top of the mountain, you need to take a large cableway. Generally, you must book tickets in advance, and there is a limit on the number of people per day.

In fact, we set off very early, and started queuing up from the entrance of the scenic spot. It was almost lunch time when we reached the top of the mountain.

This is still the off-season. It feels like tourists who come to the ancient city of Lijiang are crowded on the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It is hard to imagine how crowded it will be during the holidays.

The entrance of the cableway is still a few hundred meters away from the highest point of the plank road. From here, you need to walk up the mountain. On the surface, it seems that this distance is gentle.

However, it is not easy at all in just a few hundred meters. Every step I take, I feel like my heart is going to jump out.

On the snow-capped mountains at an altitude of 4,860 meters, every breath and heartbeat feels so real.

The weather in Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is very important, but today is the blue sky and white clouds, and I feel that my character has exploded.

After coming down from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the second stop is Blue Moon Valley. The bus in the scenic spot will pass Maoniuping and Yunshanping halfway. You can choose the stop according to your own time.

When I heard about Blue Moon Valley for the first time, I thought its name sounded nice. Because its predecessor was the "White Water River" known to people earlier.

On a sunny day, the color of the water is blue, and the valley is crescent-shaped. From a distance, it looks like a blue moon inlaid at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, so it is called Blue Moon Valley.

Some people say that Blue Moon Valley is a small Jiuzhaigou. The water quality here is clear, and it really looks like Jiuzhaigou at a glance.

In the afternoon, the sun shines on the water surface with layers of waves, which is very beautiful.

Going straight along the plank road, the water in the pool is crystal clear, as if you are in a fairyland.

The lake water in Blue Moon Valley is formed by the melting of snow. During the flow process, it was blocked by mountains, forming four large water surfaces, known as "Yuye" Lake, "Jingtan" Lake, "Blue Moon" Lake and "Tingtao" lake.

Due to the height difference of the terrain, there are many small waterfalls in the scenic area, and it is also very beautiful to take pictures.

Due to time reasons, I didn't go to Chengyunshanping, but I feel very satisfied after seeing the scenery of Blue Moon Valley. It is strongly recommended to come to Blue Moon Valley.

I took a taxi back to the ancient city from the scenic spot. The grove on the side of the road was well lit. I took two pictures with my friends.

There are still many photo spots in Lijiang. I will continue to update when I have time. If you like it, remember to like it and save it.

Lijiang story, to be continued...
