"Are you dissatisfied with life
I haven't laughed for a long time and I don't know why
Since I'm not happy and I don't like it here
Why not go all the way west to Dali
The journey is a bit tortuous, the air is a bit thin
The wider the scenery, the lonelier the heart
don't know who's waiting where
I don’t know what’s next”
"Heart Flowers on the Road". In the movie, the scenery of Dali is charming, and the ending is a bit sad. Even Hao Yun's episode "To Dali" seems to have a breathtaking magic. That day, we agreed to go to Dali before graduation. Later later, it was like a movie, as if we were busy every day, so busy that we never seemed to make this promise. In January of the following year, Qingqing and his partner went to Dali, and I also flew to Shanghai and Nanjing to visit the school after the laboratory, so I missed the "promise". I am about to enter my senior year, and I have to choose between work and postgraduate entrance examination. Even if I choose to continue my postgraduate study (maybe it is really to escape), I will torture myself every day about what I want. Have you figured it out? What exactly do you want?
In mid-August, I ended my social practice and postgraduate entrance examination counseling. In the confusion, I chose to go to Yunnan alone to find another self and fulfill my promise in another time and space.

Shaxi Ancient Town
DAY 1. "Girl, how do you take pictures without opening the camera cover" (Shaxi)
Shaxi, located in the southwest of Jianchuan County, Dali City, Yunnan Province, is known as the only surviving ancient market town on the Ancient Tea Horse Road. Some people say that compared with Lijiang, Shaxi has more tranquility and leisure, and compared with Shuanglang, it has less construction sites and flying dust. This was once a bustling market on the Ancient Tea-Horse Road, the only way for caravans to enter Tibet (Dian-Tibet). Compared with the bustling ancient towns like Lijiang, Shaxi is not so much assimilated by the feasting, as it is forgotten by the times.
Dali North Passenger Transport Center went to Jianchuan and transferred to Shaxi. The whole journey took four hours. I was tired of traveling and traveling, and I was called by the sleepy god and closed my eyes. In a trance, a female voice drove away the sleeping insects. Judging from the conversation, the girl only found out today that there is a street rush in Shaxi, and she wanted to play here for a while but was worried that she would not be able to go back (living in Dali). Then my nerves started to go crazy, and I said silently, "If you don't mind, you can come with me, I booked a place in Shaxi", thinking that if she couldn't make it to the bus, I would "take in" her. I don't know where I got the "courage" to stay overnight with a strange girl in a different place. Fortunately, it turns out that give others the opportunity, so do I.
I envy the people here. There is a small courtyard. When it’s sunny, I invite two or three friends to chat with each other and taste the new tea of this spring. When it’s almost noon, I bring out the freshly pickled fruits. , I say health preservation.
Earlier, when we were very young, when we were children, did you ever have the experience of being like a little girl, carefree, leaning against a small set of wooden tables on a summer afternoon Chairs, imitating the appearance of adults, propping up arms, fingers rubbing books from time to time, spending the last few days of the holiday amidst the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. At that time, there were no waffles, no snacks, no cappuccino, no Americano coffee, and a cup of bland boiled water tasted just like that—ordinary but precious!
Plant a seed in your heart, and in spring, it begins to take root and sprout; in summer, you show your face to me; in autumn, I cried and said not to leave, and you lowered your head with a light smile; time goes by, day by day, month by month Slowly winter. The following year, a sea of flowers bloomed in my heart.
Shaxi is very famous for its wood carvings and paintings. Wood carvings require craftsmanship and test endurance. It takes an average of half a year to complete a work.
A story about Uncle Peng: Just as I was preparing to take this picture of woodcarving skills, someone said, "Girl, how can you take a picture without opening the camera cover".
At that time, it could only be described as "shame and anger". As a novice, you must humbly listen to the teachings of your predecessors, take pictures and leave immediately.
Then, at the place where Meow was photographed, "Coincidentally, we met again, where do you live, I invite you to drink tea"
"Nearby!" flashed people.
On the way back, Lili and Lili talked about how they were so unlucky when they met an uncle and struck up a conversation. Remembering to buy fresh milk, they went to the opposite door - Jingshe. (A few kz in Shaxi can order fresh milk, which is nutritious and healthy).
The people in the small courtyard were drinking tea behind the flower stand, explaining their intentions. The proprietress said that the milk would only be available in the morning.
Suddenly the familiar voice sounded again, "Is it the girl who couldn't turn on the camera just now?" "Let's drink tea together."
Thinking about whether this is a self-inflicted trap, whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. Drink tea and chat quietly (I found out that we have misunderstood), taste Pu'er (with Dunno ham...a strange combination), talk about photography, and talk about travel. Uncle Peng pointed out that I was confused from the perspective of a father of the same age. Girls always cry, and after a long time of depression, they think that they have suffered a great grievance.
It's three o'clock in the morning to bid farewell to Jingshe and return to spring.
Lijiang
DAY 2. Clubbing 13 Hours (Lijiang Dayan)
Say goodbye to Shaxi, and head to Jianchuan with Nuannuanmilk and Lili, and prepare to go to two places (Dali and Lijiang). There is no time to say goodbye in the future, and new friends are about to break into life.
Shaxi is located between Dali and Lijiang. To get to Shaxi, you must transfer at Jianchuan. In terms of administrative division, Jianchuan belongs to Dali, but considering the driving distance, Lijiang is closer, and it is only 2 hours from Jianchuan to Lijiang. I fell asleep peacefully along the way, not afraid of wind or rain, woke up ignorantly and saw the words "1km away from downtown Lijiang" through the car window and instantly woke up.
I finished reading "Touch Your Head" (signed edition) on the way here. It's a pity to lose the book like this, and it's heavy to carry on the road. When I was struggling, I had an idea, let you stay in the hut, and go back to the place where you were born. One day I will meet someone who needs you more than me
There are cool winds in summer and snow in winter, flowers in spring and moon in autumn. I met another Lijiang in the hut. The third to arrive, the last to leave, at 5 am, I closed the old wooden door, and the noise of the night was cut off. Walking on the bluestone slabs where the birds are singing and the fragrance of flowers is undisturbed, Sister Yaoyao said that we will never forget the hut tonight. "Well, maybe" How can we forget the brother in glasses who gave us roses, the "vampire" army who entered in the middle of the night, and the old Xie who protected us?
Shuhe Ancient Town
DAY 3/4. There are countryside and stories here, and there is always a kind of life you want (Shuhe)
Shuhe, Lijiang ten years ago
There is a sea in the heart, and the flowers bloom in spring. There is a paradise in the heart, all of which are between water and clouds.
The little brother who guides the way, the locals are simple and hospitable, you can communicate with them more, and it is generally no problem to communicate with young people
Listen to a Xiaopeng sharing session in the Naxi Siheyuan, you are not alone on the road; play a game of billiards with strangers to expose your poor skills; ride the ancient town in the heavy rain, and encounter the "spring" of the garden; It doesn’t matter whether it’s delicious or strange for a local meal; lie on the lazy sofa and read a book, squandering time; send a postcard to relatives and friends... If possible, I would also like to join the team for a snow mountain ride
When you come to Shuhe Ancient Town, you must find a small shop to enjoy the good times in Lijiang, or you will fail the beautiful environment of Shuhe Ancient Town
God-sent opportunity, I passed by a small shop and saw a good environment, so everyone agreed to sit in the small shop, the shop environment is very good, the service is warm, the service of the handsome guy is very good, and the consumption inside is not high, and the things are very affordable , I really like this small shop, there are many books for free to read in it, the experience is really good! Checking in is strongly recommended!
In the two days in Shuhe Ancient Town, I have eaten many delicacies, but I like this internet celebrity gourmet shop the most. It is a gourmet restaurant recommended by many people. When celebrities come to Lijiang, they will basically come to this restaurant to eat Yunnan specialties. The food is really good. not bad
The food tastes good, the portions are sufficient, and the price is relatively affordable. The price/performance ratio is considered a relatively high restaurant. The restaurant is surrounded by many flowers. There is a small stream flowing slowly past the door. It feels super awesome. The key is Delicious food, great service, affordable prices, highly recommended!
Erhai Lake
Dear, leave some good memories for your favorite photos...
A young couple, from Quanzhou, junior students - one in his hometown of Quanzhou, the other in Jianshui, Yunnan. It's not easy to be in a long-distance relationship, but it's rare to get together and meet a big light bulb
The small town of Cannes is only 5 kilometers away from the ancient city (Dali Road gate). Is it the one next to Dali Road? There are fewer people and it is suitable for taking wedding photos. The fee is also lower than other places (10 yuan/person, Other places cost 20-40 yuan/person), if you can’t find it, ask the locals
Regarding the origin of the name of Erhai Lake, it is said that looking down looks like a human ear, so it is called "Er". Brother Zhou joked that Yunnan people have never seen the world, and many people have never seen the real sea in their entire lives, so they named it "Erhai". "ocean". I laughed when I heard this explanation. In my opinion, Erhai Lake is no worse than the real sea.
My hometown --- a Northeast couple, like to rush forward regardless of command. Maybe it's our nature to go on a rampage. Even if I sit in the back, I feel restless when I am controlled by others. Helpless, Xiao Zhou said "take you to fly" and we rushed forward at full speed, the partners behind became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared. Brother Zhou let go of the handlebar, and we opened our arms and howled loudly, feeling relaxed for a long time.
The three-course tea of the Bai nationality is a drink offered to guests when the Bai nationality celebrates weddings in Dali, and it is also a form of etiquette. Each of the three courses of tea has its own characteristics, which can be summarized as "bitter at first, sweet and three aftertaste". Drinking tea is just like life, and it makes sense—it should be bitter first, then sweet, and then aftertaste
Tou Dao tea, bitter tea, is also called thunder tea. Put the high-quality tea leaves in an earthenware pot and roast them with a slow fire, shaking while roasting, until the tea leaves are slightly yellow and give off a clear fragrance, and then poured into boiling water, the tea pot will make a sound and bubbles will appear. When the water bubbles dissipate, a little bitter and fragrant strong tea juice is left in the clay pot.
Two courses of tea, sweet tea, sweet and fragrant with frankincense. Put the ingredients such as walnut slices, roasted milk fan (fan-shaped food made of milk) and brown sugar into the teacup, and then pour hot tea into it.
Three courses of tea, aftertaste tea. First put honey, Chinese prickly ash, ginger slices, cinnamon powder, etc. into a fine porcelain cup in proportion, then pour into hot tea and serve. It combines sweetness, numbness, spicyness, and tea fragrance into one, and it has a unique flavor when drinking, which is memorable, so it is called aftertaste tea.
DAY 6. The Lover of the Wandering Singer (Haixi Walking)
A lover who was a wandering singer in Tibet,
Love is sweet, after all, it is not worth a xylophone
maybe one day
Or Lhasa in front of the Jokhang Temple
that he came again
kind sister
I wish you happiness
Everyone yearns for Lijiang, it is a good place to meet love; Dali alone is a holy place for rebirth
Shuanglang
The above three pictures were taken in Shuanglang by Qingxin January. In summer, such small fishing boats are generally not allowed to go to sea for safety reasons, and the sun cannot be as ineffective as in winter. Let me be a little envious, and think of us at that time
tip: The boat is about 20 yuan per person, and it is not a problem to take four or five people in one boat.
Shuanglang is a quiet Bai nationality town on the east coast of the Erhai Lake. Two rocky shores extend out of an exquisite coastal town. The Erhai Lake turns two bays here. The two bays surround Nanzhao Fengqing Island and Yuji Island.
One of the Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan: Milk is made into a fan and sold (lower right corner). It is originally produced in Dengchuan Bazi, Eryuan, Dali, on the shore of the Erhai Lake at the foot of Cangshan Mountain. Commonly known as "milk fan", it is a favorite food of thousands of households in Yunnan. It is sold in the streets and alleys, and it costs five yuan a piece.
From left to right and top to bottom in the picture are: local vegetables, Shaxi mushrooms, Shuanglang shrimp cakes, Xizhou broken crispy cakes, Shaxi thin bean flour, roasted milk fans.

DAY 8. Let’s go to Plum Wine, and we will see you in Dangjianghu (bye, Yunnan!)
Is it luck that we have exhausted all our efforts to meet each other? Is it also a kind of fate to be apart?
