Lijiang
There are many public spaces inside the hotel, and the design is very ingenious. I especially like the reading and resting place in the picture below. You can sit casually for hours.
I live in a family suite. The room is relatively large and the functional areas are clearly divided. There is also an attic on the second floor. There is a small bed in the attic for the child to sleep in, which is very convenient.
The ancient city of Lijiang has a magical soothing effect on me. As soon as I enter here, the depression caused by the busy life disappears without a trace, and the whole person relaxes completely. The hotel I live in is near the south gate of Dayan Ancient City. There is also a reason for choosing this hotel, because it is well away from the hustle and bustle of the ancient city and allows me to enjoy a peaceful vacation. I slept in the hotel until late in the evening before going out. I planned to stroll around in the ancient city. Lijiang in June has not yet ushered in the peak of tourism. There are not many tourists on the streets and it seems relatively quiet. I think the ancient city of Lijiang should be like this.
Stroll to Sifang Street to feel the lively ancient city. Sifang Street is the center of the entire ancient city of Dayan, and it is also the busiest place in the ancient city. The famous bar street is nearby.
The further you go to Sifang Street, the more tourists there are on the street, and because the ultraviolet light is not so strong as it is approaching evening, many guests who are huddled in the hotel to rest also come out to hang out. The vicinity of Yuhe Square is a place where delicious food gathers, and tourists come and go.
I like the delicacies in the ancient city of Lijiang the most. Although they are slightly more expensive than outside, they look very appetizing. However, I have been to Yunnan so many times, and I am still not used to the various bugs here.
Sifang Street is indeed the busiest place in the entire ancient city. Whether it is off-season or peak season, it is always bustling with people. It's fun to say, I have been to Sifang Street so many times, but I have never been to a bar here.
You don’t need to go into the Lion Mountain Scenic Area to see the night view. I think the best location is a few inns at the entrance of the scenic spot. There are a few inns with a viewing platform that is so good. However, going to these inns to see the night view requires consumption. Although many inns have free visits written at the entrance, as long as you walk in, the waiters will chase you to order something, which is very annoying. If you don't want to spend, you can also turn around and leave after looking at it, but if you want to take a photo, you will have to pay a fee of 5 to 20 yuan. Inns with a good view are very expensive, about five to fifteen times as much as outside. If you can accept this cost, then it is very good to order some drinks in these inns and sit for an hour or two, especially in the evening , can be called a great enjoyment.
When the night falls completely, you can slowly go down the mountain along the stone road. At this time, the ancient city of Lijiang is the most flavorful. Walking slowly from Sifang Street back to the vicinity of the South Gate, returning to peace from the hustle and bustle, the first day in Lijiang passed like this.
Shuhe Ancient Town
When I came to Shuhe Ancient Town, I like the feeling here. I walked around this ancient town with my friends for leisure, eating and drinking. You can listen to music while eating, listening to music while drinking tea, and watching performances while drinking. There is indeed a feeling of enjoying a good life here. I think I will meet friends or come here alone when I am tired in the future!
I like it very much, the service is very good, the taste is okay, not greasy and heavy. I wanted to order a la carte, but the waiter recommended a group purchase. One more dish is cheaper, and the napkins are also clearly free. I like the service! The small pot rice is very fragrant, there are fried potatoes and so on, but it is not greasy; the fried fish is crispy, fragrant, and crispy and very comfortable, my husband thinks it is not fresh; I think the tofu is amazing and very tender , this is the first time I have eaten wrapped tofu; water-based poplar is a local specialty in Yunnan, and this time I finally tasted it. The cold salad is okay, and it has a special taste as imagined;
Lijiang Eternal Love
The "Eternal Love of Lijiang" scenic spot is located in Lijiang New Town about seven kilometers away from Dayan Ancient City. It is a humanistic tourism landscape created by "Songcheng Performing Arts". Lijiang originated from the ancient tea-horse road, and also prospered because of the ancient tea-horse road. However, with the changes of history, the ancient tea-horse road has lost its former significance. But people will never forget the history, and the Qiangu Scenic Area has made great efforts to build a living "Tea Horse Ancient City".
The Lijiang Eternal Scenic Area is adjacent to the Wenbihai, facing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain far away. The whole scenic spot takes Lijiang's traditional ethnic and regional culture as the theme, and takes the large-scale song and dance drama "Lijiang Eternal Love", which is known as a must-see in a lifetime, as the core. It mainly shows Lijiang's thousand-year history. National culture and historical customs are a good window to understand Lijiang's past.
The content in the Qiangu scene area is very rich, and I will spend all day here today. The entire scenic area mainly includes thematic areas such as Tea Horse Ancient Street, Nacuo Sea, Snow Mountain Beach, various ethnic minority villages in Yunnan, Eternal Love Square, large indoor technology and entertainment complex, and two large performances mentioned above. The indoor large-scale song and dance drama "Lijiang Eternal Love" and the open-air large-scale live performance "Lijiang Love Song".
Walking into the scenic area, I encountered a performance "Laughing and Catching Liu Yidao" in Mabang Square. Although June is not the peak season for tourism, the Qiangu Scenic Area is already full of tourists. This performance is of the humorous type. It not only has traditional elements, but also combines the characteristics of the times very well. I especially like it.
Many people don't know what to do when they go to Lijiang Qianguqing. They always come back after watching a performance. In fact, there are many things to play in. Every day from two o'clock in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening, there are many continuous performances, so the first thing to do when entering the scenic spot is to ask the staff to get the performance list of the scenic spot, which clearly states all the performances time and place.
Eternal Love has many performances, among which are the so-called top ten performing arts shows. In addition to "Lijiang Eternal Love" and "Lijiang Love Song", there are also "Mu Fu Zhao Huo", "Climbing the Flower House", "Crossing Flash Mob" ", "Capturing Liu Yidao with Laughter", "Feng Ya Ge", "Up the Mountain of Swords and Down the Sea of Fire", "Life Hangs by a Thread", "Mu Fu Dian Soldier" and so on. After watching "Laughing and Capturing Liu Yidao", I went to watch "Up the Mountain of Swords and Down the Sea of Fire".
"The Wooden Mansion Recruits a Son-in-Law" is a performance I am looking forward to, mainly because I think the heroine must be a beautiful woman, so when the time comes, I will go to Mabang Square to watch. The whole performance is not long, but I really like this kind of drama combined with history.
Mufu is the common name of Lijiang's chieftain's yamen. The Mu clan ruled Lijiang for more than 400 years. The architecture of the entire Qiangu scene area is also very distinctive, with a good combination of traditional and modern architecture.
Lijiang Love Song Paradise is a scenic spot in Lijiang Eternal Love. It is the highest amusement park in China. It needs to buy a separate ticket, but it is more cost-effective to buy a joint ticket. The joint ticket includes the Eternal Scenery Area, Love Song Paradise Scenic Area and two performances "Lijiang Eternal Love" and "Lijiang Love Song" are good value for money. There are many thrilling and exciting rides in Love Song Paradise, such as the big pendulum in the air, the flying chair in the air, the jumping machine, the rolling waves, the rapids, etc. It is a paradise for some serious players.
When I walked to Love Song Paradise, I happened to meet someone playing with the big pendulum. The big pendulum here is the highest specification among all the big pendulums I have ever seen. It is very exciting to watch. When the big pendulum reached the highest point, I took a photo. At this time, the screams of tourists could be heard ten miles away, so I was silently discouraged.
The amusement facilities in Love Song Paradise are of very high specifications. The waves produced at the moment when the torrent bravely enters the water can be sprayed onto the main road of the scenic spot. Our two little friends were standing there to take pictures of the most exciting moment. They sprayed it directly in front of them, and they were so scared that they quickly avoided it. When they came back to their senses, they found a small sign next to it, which said that there would be water pouring over, be careful to avoid it!
There are two performances not to be missed in the Eternal Scene Area, one is the most famous song and dance drama "Lijiang Eternal Love", and the other is the live performance "Lijiang Love Song". A friend asked me if I had watched "Lijiang Eternal Love" and "Lijiang Love Song"? I said that these two shows are not in the same style at all, and each has its own characteristics. The performance time of Love Song Paradise is from 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm every day, and it is staged in a special live-action theater, which is the location in the lower left corner of the picture below.
The large-scale song and dance performance "Lijiang Eternal Love" is the most anticipated part of my trip to Lijiang. I have heard of its name before coming here, and more than one friend around me has recommended this performance to me. "Lijiang Eternal Love" combines many high-end stage technologies, and uses IMAX 3D blockbuster vision to reproduce Lijiang's thousand-year history and legends. The whole performance is divided into six parts: "Naxi Genesis", "Lugu Daughter Country", "Legend of the Caravan", "Mufu Splendor", "Jade Dragon Third Kingdom", and "Looking for Shambhala", which condenses almost all the most representative Unique Lijiang folk symbols and cultural elements. The entire performance is staged in the giant theater, which has a capacity of up to 4,700 seats and has completely become a testing ground for high-tech stage technology.
Lijiang three waters
Yesterday I spent a day in Songcheng, deeply felt Lijiang’s thousand-year-old history and cultural customs. Today, I plan to take it easy and enjoy the magnificent natural scenery of Lijiang, so everyone came to Lijiang Sangushui together. This place is my friends and I. Never been here before. Lijiang Sangushui Scenic Spot integrates natural landscapes such as mountains, rivers, canyons, and pastoral scenery, as well as cultural landscapes such as Tea Horse Ancient Street, Naxi Villages, and Naxi Customs. It is located in Hongwen Village, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, Lijiang City. The Xionggu-Jianchuan ancient valley and the confluence of the Jinsha River valley from the first bay of the Yangtze River to the Tiger Leaping Gorge section is about 36 kilometers away from Lijiang city, and it can be reached in half an hour by car.
Sangushui used to be a must-pass on the ancient tea-horse road from northwestern Yunnan to Tibet. In ancient times, caravans would pray for safety in front of the Wanfu and Longevity Monument when they went to Tibet, then drink water at Deyan Spring to rest, and finally order Ruyi for peace The remote will only be stepped on after the lights. Today's Sangushui is more of a quiet small village, constantly attracting some slow-paced tourists to come here. This is a glass suspension bridge in the Sangushui Scenic Area. It is a challenge for tourists. Many tourists enjoy playing here.
