South of Caiyun, a place where you want to go just by hearing the name. Finally, when our "talented" little classmate turned three years old and could no longer hold back his yearning for Yunnan, we had this trip.
I didn’t have much planning and strategies. Although I have been to many places in the west, my impression of Yunnan was vague before I went, and I didn’t think about the specific itinerary. I just went to Dali and Lijiang, in line with " Strolling around casually, counting wherever you go, and going back when you should go", I arrived in Lijiang first in a daze, and started this ten-day itinerary.
I thought of "the capital of romantic encounters", but in fact it was "dragging the family and taking care of the mouth, and it has nothing to do with the romantic relationship". The purpose of this itinerary is to walk with the baby, and it did not stay in Dali, Lijiang. Some of the privately customized projects suitable for children in "Man Xun Ji" are also worth recommending.

Day1: August 15 Beijing ~ Lijiang (1)
The long-awaited trip to Yunnan is about to start today!
I have already booked the air tickets. In order to squeeze out the time for the holiday, I have arranged the work as much as possible in advance, so that the holiday can be as solid as possible.
Considering that there is a lot of luggage with the family and the mouth, it is convenient to drive by yourself and reduce the parking fee at the airport as much as possible, so I booked a parking lot near the airport. There is not enough time for the plane to depart at 9 o'clock in the morning. I have to drive to the parking lot first. After checking the road conditions, I found that the fifth, fourth, third, and second rings are all blocked. This is also Beijing. The traffic is in a normal state, because I once missed the plane when I was stuck in the fifth ring road, I dare not go around the fifth ring road again this time.
Faced with such a road condition, I was still a little worried. Fortunately, I hurried to the scheduled parking lot at 10:50 and parked the car. In order to save time, I booked an express bus and arrived at the airport an hour before the plane took off. .
When the formalities are completed, there is still a quarter of an hour before you can eat something. The first flight does not provide lunch, so I can only solve it by myself. During the meal time, I heard the airport broadcast reminding me to board the plane. After we finished eating, it was less than half an hour before the departure time. On the way to the boarding gate, we heard the broadcast calling our three names.
Hurry up and get on the plane and sit down, but the plane has been waiting to take off. The "talented" student asked over and over again why the plane is not taking off yet. I guess he is thinking that he can rest assured when the plane takes off. I really went to bed, because after all, I still have to sleep at noon every day. About half an hour later than the normal take-off time, the plane finally flew into the blue sky, and the "talented" students fell asleep soon.
Both of us went to bed too late last night, and soon fell asleep in a daze, hoping to sleep for a while, but the "talented" student woke up after less than an hour of sleep. Fortunately, with the "talented" little classmate's car toy "Jipuda", with it, the "talented" little classmate can play by himself for half an hour.
More than an hour passed quickly. After playing in the car and looking at the scenery outside, the plane landed smoothly at Lijiang Sanyi Airport at 3:45 in the afternoon.
When I got off the plane, I first realized the speed of Yunnan. I waited for a long time at the turntable for luggage collection before the luggage came out of the turntable one after another.
It was August, and Beijing was still hot, but when I walked out of the terminal, I could feel the coolness and comfort of Lijiang, except for the strong sunlight.
The car that the hotel made an appointment to pick us up had already been waiting early. After we picked up our luggage, we got on the car and set off immediately.
The airport is not far from the ancient city, and there are not many cars on the road, so we arrived in the ancient city of Lijiang soon. The inn that my friend helped to book is in the ancient city, where motor vehicles are not allowed, so we can only walk and push our suitcases, but the ancient city is full of potholes and stone roads, we walked for more than ten minutes to the hotel, and the suitcases were also withstood After passing the test, the "talented" little classmate also has the appearance of a little man, helping push the big box all the time, whoever wants to stop him from working, that is impossible.
Our room is on the second floor, a suite with a large area and a small terrace outside. Sitting here looking up at the sky and watching the white clouds fluttering, it is really a good place to spend time.
There is food and entertainment on the plane, three hours does not seem very long
By the way, popularize the scientific knowledge of the atmosphere, flight and so on to the young students
We will arrive in Lijiang soon, where is the ancient city? Where is Yulong?
The first impression of Yunnan, let us look forward to it
Come on, little classmate, it's time to get off the plane
Get out of the airport and go straight to Lijiang Old Town
Considering that our stay in Lijiang is not long, we also booked the inn in the ancient city
Lijiang Sanyi Airport to downtown
Although it is peak season, there are not many vehicles on the highway
You can only park your car outside the ancient city, and you can only walk in the ancient city
You can also choose such a rickshaw to help transport luggage
The owner of the inn personally ran outside the ancient city to pick us up, and walked in front with the suitcase of the talented student
My talented little classmate and I dragged our huge suitcases on the potholed stone road in the ancient city, "chih chih chih chih"
At the entrance of the inn, talented young students became interested in "Shi Ah Wu"
Most of the inns in Lijiang are very distinctive
This house is also very compact, with a small courtyard inside
Compact layout, flowers are blooming
Outside the suite we live in, there is also a small terrace
Although the terrace is small, it is still possible to sip tea and be in a daze here
The weather is cool and pleasant, lying on a chair, staring at the blue sky in a daze, I really want to spend my time here
"Talented" students can't stay idle. The various facilities in the room, especially the kettle and cups, are still the happiest toys. Boiling water and cooking are extremely busy. I can only "Enjoy" beautifully.
Lijiang is more than 2,400 meters above sea level, and I actually feel a little bit of chest tightness here and there. The altitude is more than 5,000 meters, and there is nothing wrong with it. It seems that it has been a long time since I came to the plateau.
Enough playing in the room, it's time to go out for a stroll. The Old Town of Lijiang still has its own characteristics, and it is no wonder that so many people flock to it.
On both sides of the narrow alley, there are all kinds of petty bourgeoisie-style, well-dressed shops, and the name full of literary and artistic atmosphere. It is very similar to the imagined Lijiang, but it is not the same as the imagined Lijiang. , the overall "scale" feels smaller than imagined, and the area of the ancient city is not as large as imagined.
Different from the past, we have an extra photographer this time, and the "talented" little classmate commanded us to stand and pose with a mobile phone, just like a photographer. What's even more funny is that when a "talented" student saw a fire hydrant, he actually wanted to take a photo with him, and the standard posture of holding a fire hydrant, with a serious demeanor, made people laugh.
Young photographer personally guides mom to pose and take pictures
And it is required to pose as if the aunts must hold the flower in their hands when taking pictures.
Of course, the little "photographer" didn't forget to ask to take a picture of himself
It is also a very standard posture of holding things with hands, but what he asked to hold was not a flower, but a fire hydrant
Walk around and find this restaurant recommended by a friend
Dine and experience the taste of Yunnan
Tourists from all over the country flock to Lijiang to find what they are looking for
And we're just here to hang out
The small river in the ancient city, the crisp water flow accompanied by the bustling crowd, is full of the smell of fireworks in the world
Row upon row of small shops along the street, radiant with brilliance, loud music and hawking proclaim the beginning of Lijiang's nightlife
We also have no destination, wandering with the crowd "drifting"
The small roads in the ancient city are winding, inlaid with flowing rivers, gurgling water, singing and laughing, with a unique charm
Antique buildings, some people are taking pictures of ancient costumes, it feels more suitable
Sudden trance as if time traveled
The little students also took a "selfie"
A "talented" student was meditating by the river, and a "little fairy" came
The little students also took a "selfie"
"Dajun's Tambourine Shop", the owner sang unhurriedly like this, a "Song from Other Country" attracted me, and I stopped for a long time
In the end, I bought his works and came back. Listening to them occasionally can still bring me back to that night in Lijiang
Day2: Lijiang on August 16 (Monday)
It may be that the schedule was too tiring yesterday, and the couple actually slept until nine o'clock. This may be the last time the "talented" student woke up. I packed up my things and went to have breakfast. It was in a small restaurant near the inn. It was already ten o'clock when I had steamed stuffed buns and eight-treasure porridge.
Today's breakfast place is estimated that "talented" students will be more satisfied, because sitting in front of the window on the second floor, you can watch the excavator work outside the window while eating. What could be more exciting than an excavator digging a hole.
Compared with the coolness of last night, the morning in Lijiang is not only cool. Wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt, I feel a little cold. The "talented" students also put on long trousers and thin coats. In the plateau climate, the temperature difference is still relatively large, so the air conditioner in the room is basically not needed.
After dinner, I went back to the inn to pack up my things and prepare to check out. Because I will go to Weixi with Chunfu at noon today, I took this time to go for a stroll and eat something, and I will wait for Chunfu from "Man Xun Ji" to pick us up.
We packed up our two suitcases, big and small, and the "talented" little classmate helped carry them downstairs, and planned to store the two suitcases in the inn, so we didn't take them out. Seeing this, the "talented" students insisted that we walk together with two boxes, and we couldn't stay here. After a stalemate for a while, I said to the "talented" student, let's go to see the big water truck. It would be too slow to push a big box, otherwise we can see it quickly, and the "talented" student readily agreed , The turning point was so fast that it was beyond my expectation, and there was not even a bargain.
The navigation shows that the distance of the big water truck is not far, less than one kilometer away. We just wandered along the road, passed through the beautiful streets, passed by various shops, stopped from time to time, and lingered to take pictures. Today, QQ wore the blue skirt and white top that we took pictures in western Sichuan. It still looks better, but helplessly, the level of photographers has dropped, I am ashamed.
Of course, the big waterwheel is not the ultimate goal, and playing while walking is the truth. It was after twelve o'clock that we arrived at the famous scenic spot of Lijiang Old Town, the big waterwheel. The "talented" student watched the waterwheel carefully for a long time, wondering what he was thinking and whether he could understand the principle of the waterwheel.
At this time, we learned that Chunfu was going to the airport to see off people. The plane was late and it was going to be six o'clock in the evening, so we had no choice but to spend another night in Lijiang. Since the accommodation was fully booked yesterday, we could not continue our stay, so we chose 100. The Cotton Seven Seven Inn is one meter away.
It's time to eat again, and there is a snack city nearby. There should be a lot of delicious food, but after entering, not only the "talented" students didn't find what they wanted to eat, even we didn't have an appetite.
QQ continued to search along the streets outside the ancient city. All kinds of food cities were either unsuitable or too far away. Reluctantly, we went to Dashuiche Square, where the classic "Three Musketeers" stood side by side: Pizza Hut, KFC, and McDonald's. Just now I was laughing at people who came here to eat M’s Big Mac, but later we bought chicken nuggets and French fries for the “talented” students.
Of course, we didn't eat it, and we had rice noodles in Yunnan anyway. Just take the things from Mai's house and eat a bowl at a rice noodle shop next to it. Because I don’t know what the authentic taste is, and I’m stupid to tell whether it’s the delicious food here or the delicious food I’ve eaten in Beijing.
Finally started to visit Lijiang again
Walk all the way along the beautiful small streets of Lijiang, and play while walking
Roaming in the ancient city of Lijiang, the happy couple
Shi "Ah Wu", who has been interested in talented students since childhood, how can he not take a photo when he meets
The "excavator" on the streets of the ancient city, talented children have been transformed into an "excavator" for a period of time, so they always hold this posture everywhere
I stopped and watched for a long time, and told him the principle of the waterwheel. I don’t know if he really understood it.
Next to the big waterwheel, Lijiang's iconic inscription: World Cultural Heritage Old Town of Lijiang
It was already half past one after lunch, and I was about to go back to the inn. The "talented" student was still asleep at noon.
Back on the same road, I remembered a courtyard of "Shodo Lijiang" I saw after dinner in the morning, and I also intend to go to learn more about the traditional skills such as papermaking and leather goods here. I also saw Dongba characters here, and another A symbol of this culture, the courtyard is small and compactly arranged, showing the wisdom of the ancients everywhere. It is said that this is provided by the Lijiang government for free to pass on these ancient intangible cultural heritages. This point should be praised by the Lijiang government.
The "talented" young students are most interested in the bench and the excavator. In the end, they simply sat on the bench and watched the excavator. I also moved the bench to accompany me. Of course, this excavator is still the one in the morning, because it is near where we live, and the location in the afternoon is better, so we can watch it at a closer distance. Our son, is it going to Lanxiang in the future?
After learning more about the content of "Shoto Lijiang", we are going to go to the inn to have a rest. It is already four o'clock in the afternoon, and the "talented" students don't know where they fly every afternoon.
When we arrived at the duplex room reserved for us by Mianbu Qiqi, the "talented" students were even more excited. They even said that it was better than the one they lived in yesterday. They climbed up and down the stairs without any sign of being tired. If you are tired, you must be hugged by your mother.
A small street full of colorful lanterns, beautiful
In a corner of cultural heritage in the ancient city of Lijiang, the Lijiang government provides a venue for free to allow folk artists to inherit intangible culture. This point should be praised by the Lijiang government
The "Shodo Lijiang" Art Museum includes several parts: papermaking, Dongba characters, handmade leather goods, etc. The yard is where paper is made
This is the raw material of Dongba Paper-making, which needs to be dried in the sun.
The flower itself is slightly poisonous, which is said to still keep the resulting paper free from moths and keep it intact for thousands of years.
Naxi leather goods are also handicrafts with regional and ethnic characteristics
Children's interest in these cultural heritages is not sustainable, and they patronize climbing up and down
Standing on the second floor and looking at such a small courtyard, I hope that these intangible cultures can be better promoted and inherited here
After observing the intangible cultural heritage, the father and son sit here and watch the excavator dig the pit. This is the project that talented children like
The front of the Cotton Seven Seven Hotel is not big, and there is a small passage to enter, which is a small courtyard
The yard of the inn is also well-decorated. There are two big hanging chairs. My "talented" classmates and I sat on them and dangled. Looking up at the exceptionally blue sky in Lijiang, our thoughts were completely emptied. The "talented" students felt a little bit empty when they looked at it, their eyes were blurred, no, this is not empty, this is sleepy. Sleeping at this time will be difficult at night, so don't let it go and continue playing.
I don’t know the layout and it’s time to look for food. Turn on the mobile phone navigation to find nearby food. The ancient city is not very big, and it’s only about one kilometer away.
It was getting late, and there seemed to be more people on the street
After dinner, a beautiful small courtyard, "Fairy Tale Family", is really beautiful like a fairy tale
Come to the small street passing by at noon again, the lanterns are lit, it has a special charm
Colorful lanterns make this Lijiang night full of tenderness and unique charm
Strolling among the alleys and shops in the ancient city, you can hear "Xianle Piao Piao" in your ears
Talented children were attracted by the live Lijiang tambourine in this store, and stopped to watch it for a long time
The lights of Dayan Ancient Town are lit up, which is a unique charm that only belongs to the night of the ancient city of Lijiang
The nightlife in Lijiang has started, and we should go back to the inn to rest. Bring the kids out, what is the nightlife like?
The small corridor of the inn is decorated with lights, which is completely different from the daytime
Traveling to Lijiang, I came to Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang. I wanted to eat special food. The owner of the hotel recommended us to eat the small pot rice. The small pot rice is indeed a signature, and the potatoes are so fragrant. The braised pork with Pu'er tea is tender but not greasy. I ate a lot of pieces without losing weight. The marinated quail eggs in it amazed us. The service is very good and very enthusiastic, I really like it! The environment of the store is even more amazing, it is really well done, I like it so much, I must support and recommend it!
Saturday, August 17 (Monday)
The two women are not like yesterday. They slept until nine o'clock and woke up around eight o'clock. Eight o'clock seems to be a bit early for Lijiang, so we went to the place where we had breakfast yesterday. There was only one table for us. Still the same old ones: Xiaolongbao, glutinous rice balls, soy milk, eight-treasure porridge, there is still no problem filling the stomach.
I made an appointment with Chunfu to pick us up at Mianbu Qiqi at nine o'clock, so after having breakfast, I went back to my room to pack my things. Then I waited in the courtyard of the inn. The courtyard was very quiet. A dog was lying lazily at the door of the room. Only the occasional laughter of the three of us broke the tranquility here.
When it was nearly ten o'clock, Chunfu finally arrived, and we were ready to go to Weixi. Here I have to talk about the "talented" students, we have such a heavy big box, and the "talented" students are reluctant to let others help. Others can't help them, and they don't need tricycles to transport them. We need the two of us alone. Pulling a push, the box was transported all the way from the inn to the outside of the ancient city, and the box was tested again, and we were sweating again.
The red BAIC B40 is waiting for us, along with Chunfu's friend, who also wants to take a ride back to Weixi from Lijiang. The three of us sat down in the back row and started to leave Lijiang. The weather is very good. When we leave the ancient city of Lijiang, we can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain standing tall. Since it is summer, there is not much snow on the mountain. Compared with the big snow mountains we have seen before, this will hardly bring us too much shock. Maybe it will be It's different when you look at it up close.
From Lijiang to the west and then to the north, the first part of the road is to walk around the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Not far from Lijiang, you can see a blue sea from a distance. Chunfu said that it is Lashi Lake. Of course, we just took a look at it on the highway, and did not go to feel her beauty up close. Save it for another time.
The journey went smoothly. We had just arrived in Shigu Town at noon. Chunfu took us to eat a hot pot on the side of the road. The environment was very simple, just a simple shed built outside. Sitting around the fire with a small bench, savoring this delicacy. The main material is a black-bone chicken, and some vegetables and tofu are added. The simple method, the taste is very original, not too strong, but if you taste it carefully, you can feel the authentic taste of the ingredients, which is a little less The taste of additives.
"Talented" young students can still find interesting points here: that is the gravel on the ground, and the small bench for eating, turning into an excavator for a while, and playing with a tuk-tuk machine for a while. The fun of virginity is So simple, we all think the world is too complicated.
We are full and continue to set off. We don’t know when we will start. We are already in a canyon. The mountains on both sides are very high. The roadside is always accompanied by the Jinsha River. This is the core area of the Three Parallel Rivers. We are also all the way upstream. This side of the road belongs to Lijiang, while the opposite side belongs to Shangri-La. There is a bridge built tens of kilometers away. In the past, people on both sides of the river could hear even a roar, and they seldom communicated.
The crops on the roadside are similar to those in other places. The biggest difference is that there are a lot of tobacco leaves. As one of the pillar industries in Yunnan, this is rarely seen in other places.
The "talented" student fell asleep not long after getting in the car, and we were all too sleepy, sleeping together in the back seat. Falling asleep and being woken up by Chunfu's singing, I guess he is a little sleepy too, playing some songs can wake him up. However, this is of no use to the "talented" student, he can still wake up naturally.
It was about 2:30 in the afternoon when we arrived in Tacheng Town. Chunfu’s friend’s house is not far from here, but it’s on a high mountain. We have to send her home first.
This may be the narrowest winding mountain road we have ever walked. In some places, the width is less than two meters. This is the road, people who live here may often have to drive up and down, really need to practice a good skill.
After finally arriving at Chunfu’s friend’s house, we invited us to sit at home. The traditional building has a firepit in the house and bacon hanging on the wall, which is also very local. Since it is close to the top of the mountain, standing outside the house has a wide view. Chatting with Chunfu, people here have different ideas in different regions. People in Chunfu’s family tend to decorate their homes well and still want to live here when they make money. Lijiang ah Dali ah to buy a house.
Next, Chunfu’s friend took us to pick fruit. Plums that are naturally free of pesticides can be eaten as soon as you pick them up. You don’t need to worry about the problem of pesticide residues. The taste is not bad, unlike the fruits we usually buy in supermarkets, we don’t wash them well. Don't worry about washing it. Next, we went to the woods to pick mushrooms. There are all kinds of mushrooms, some are poisonous and some are edible. We were so stupid that we couldn’t tell the difference. Chunfu would tell us to keep the edible ones and not eat them. Just throw away the ones, and the "talented" students have gained a lot of knowledge.
Fortunately, we also picked two matsutake mushrooms today, and they were of good quality. Chunfu washed them, cut them up and shared them with everyone, and they tasted very delicious. But I still miss the time when I was in my hometown in western Sichuan. I went up to the mountains to pick matsutake and roasted it by the stove. Later, I couldn’t taste that taste anywhere.
In Lijiang City, I saw Jade Dragon Snow Mountain for the first time. Although it is not as majestic as other snow mountains I have seen before, it is still eye-catching
Leaving Lijiang City, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is clearly visible in the distance. Because of bringing children, the plan for these few days did not include Yulong.
Not far from Lijiang to the west, you will arrive at Lashihai. We just watched from a distance on the highway, not close to appreciate
The BAIC B40 that will accompany us in the next few days
The black-bone chicken hot pot on the roadside has a simple environment and a good taste.
The First Bend of the Yangtze River (The First Bend of the Yangtze River, The First Bend of the Wanli Yangtze River):
It is located between Shigu Town, Lijiang City in the northwest of Yunnan Province and Shasongbi Village in the south of Shangri-La County, at an altitude of 1850 meters, 130 kilometers away from Shangri-La County, and there is a direct road. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, after Zhuge Liang pacified Nanzhong, he "crossed Lu in May" here. In 1253 A.D., Kublai Khan "crossed the river with leather bag" here again.
The Wanli Yangtze River rushes down from the "roof of the world" - the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and enters Yunnan from the territory of Batang County. Together with the Lancang River and the Nu River, it passes through the high mountains and deep valleys of the Hengduan Mountains, forming a magnificent landscape of "three parallel rivers". When we arrived at Shasongbi Village in Shangri-La County, we suddenly made a sharp turn of more than 100 degrees and turned to the northeast, forming a rare "V"-shaped bend. Call this wonder of the world "the first bay of the Yangtze River". (It is different from the horseshoe-shaped turn of "The First Bend of the Jinsha River", with a different name and location)
After half a day of turbulence, I arrived at the house of a friend of Chunfu located in the middle of a mountain in Weixi County
After eating pure natural fruits, I feel refreshed, standing here, feeling refreshed
Matsutake is difficult to pick because it is basically buried underground and hard to find on the ground.
Chunfu has experience and found them all, but we can't see that there are mushrooms hidden underneath
The trip to Yunnan is over, and happiness is always on the way
