Yunnan, since the beginning of this year, I have this plan to go for a walk. Firstly, Chongqing is too hot, and secondly, I have an obsession with Lijiang, so I started my self-driving trip in Yunnan in the penultimate week of August. trip.

Specific itinerary Chongqing - Neijiang (sister's partner) - Luzhou (lunch) - direct to Kunming - Dali (living in Dali) - Lijiang (living in Lijiang) - Lugu Lake (living in Lugu Lake) - Xichang (living in Xichang )——Chengdu (send friends)——Chongqing Daojia

The first day's itinerary should be considered the hardest because I was on the road all day, and I arrived in Kunming after driving for about 15 hours. On the way, you can choose to have lunch in Neijiang, or take a detour to Zigong. The Zigong dishes of Sichuan cuisine are all delicious.

It was early in the morning when I arrived in Kunming that night. I wanted to eat a bowl of Guoqiao rice noodles, but it was too late. I suggest that if you arrive early, you can go to a store in Jinma Biji Square. The Guoqiao rice noodles are very good. I have been to Kunming several times, and I really feel that there is nothing to do. If you have a long time, you can go to Dianchi Lake and the ethnic village.

Erhai Lake

There are river-view rooms near the sea, only those that are a little closer to Erhai Lake. Our friends in Dali introduced me to the inn in Dali. The inn is located in Erhai Tianyu Villa Area, Xiaguan, Dali City. First of all, let's talk about the environment. This inn is newly opened. Except for the smell in the room, everything else is perfect. Super invincible room where you can see the Erhai Lake when you open the curtains, and the super invincible balcony with a view...

I just said that the room has a common problem of newly renovated hotels, a little smell, but it is very light, and the deodorization measures are quite good. Also the room is big and the bed is very comfortable to sleep on. I really like this kind of floor-to-ceiling windows where you can see Erhai Lake when you open the curtains.

Are you dissatisfied with life? I don’t know why I haven’t laughed for a long time. Since I’m not happy and I don’t like this place, I might as well head west all the way to Dali. Driving along the Erhai Lake, listening to the song "Go to Dali", the wind blows, and time slows down.

How can you not go to Erhai Lake when you come to Dali. When I first came to Dali a few years ago, Shuanglang was just a small fishing village, and the Erhai Lake was still so beautiful.

Park the car on the side of the road, go down at any intersection, and come to Erhai Lake, you can see such a beautiful scenery.

Around Erhai Lake, there are many places to rent battery cars. If you don’t drive, I suggest you to try that kind of battery car, provided that you must pass the driving skills. This kind of battery car can generally be ridden for about 30 kilometers. Once I ran out of battery, I pushed it for 5 kilometers. Starting from Shuanglang, you can go back after roughly riding to Little Putuo.

There are many interesting small villages around Erhai Lake. Once you enter, you will feel like a paradise. The photos are also very beautiful. I have forgotten the name of the village I have been to.

Lijiang

After driving around the Erhai Lake again, we set off for Lijiang. The whole highway can be reached in two and a half hours. I really admire the weather in Dali, Lijiang. There is heavy rain on the highway at any time. When we arrived in Lijiang, we went straight to our hotel, because we spent a lot of money on the hotel this time. Before we came, we thought that the scenery here is beautiful. You can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain up close and the environment is super good. The only downside is that it is still far away from the ancient city. a bit far. And there is still a section of mountain road, but you come here and feel that it is all worth it. After all, the cheapest room price is more than 1,000 a night. This place is also very close to Yuzhu Qingtian Scenic Area.

After we parked the car and opened the gate, the dry ice on both sides of the pond was also released at this time, and it felt like we were in a fairyland. When we came to the front desk, the staff quickly checked us in.

I also like the room types here, basically they are single-family small villas, and there are rooms on the first and second floors of the villas. Each villa has its own private garden, and the environment is quite good.

When the weather is good, sitting on Huayuan Road, you can directly see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is very close.

From this platform, you can also overlook the ancient city of Lijiang.

Take another look at this room. Also super awesome. The rooms are huge and really worth the money. The water provided is two big bottles of Moufu Mountain Spring. I am really afraid that we will be thirsty. My favorite is the starry sky room, the roof is the kind of glass, the kind where you can see the stars directly.

Shuhe Ancient Town

After resting at the hotel, we went to the ancient city. About Lijiang, my favorite is probably Shuhe. What is the greatest meaning of coming to Lijiang, in a daze! This place is more suitable for a little daze, quietly find a bar, order a drink, or quietly daze with beer.

Give you Amway a good place. Going all the way up the mountain, there is a place where you can have a panoramic view of the Shuhe River. This place was also discovered by a coincidence.

At the gate of Shuhe, this wind chime is very suitable for couples. Write the promises you make to each other on it.

Lijiang has many wandering singers who can sing. You can really stop and listen for a long time.

Shuhe is so quiet, with more calmness and less hustle and bustle.

Dinner was settled in Shuhe Ancient Town, and I found a popular restaurant. Many celebrities have eaten there. The recommended spot is dry pot black goat. It is not smelly, delicious, and has a lot of meat! I came here without thinking of eating grilled fish. I thought this would be delicious, and I was not disappointed! The signature small pot rice started to feel so delicious made of rice and vegetables, but the meat is plump and rich in taste. The soup of crispy cabbage broth is relatively bland when drunk alone, but it is paired with this dry pot black goat. The three It's a perfect combination, highly recommended! ! ! ! ! !

[Service bell] Service: Because I feel a little busy on the second floor, the service is very good [Mint]

Environment: beautiful and comfortable, clean and tidy

Lijiang Eternal Love

On the fourth day, we came to Songcheng Lijiang Eternal Scenic Area. Songcheng Lijiang Eternal Scenic Area is about 5km away from Lijiang Old Town. It is known as the "living" Tea Horse Ancient Road. Songcheng Lijiang Eternal Scenic Area echoes the distant imagination of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It digs deeply into the local cultural elements of Lijiang and builds the Tea Horse Ancient City. , Nacuo Village, Lijiang Paradise, and the Four Parks of Sacrificial Love Valley. In the Songcheng Lijiang Eternal Scenery Area, what I am most looking forward to is the performance of Lijiang Eternal Love. The front is full of drama, because my old driver used some bad navigation and drove the wrong way, which caused us to be late. The performance had already started when we entered the performance area, and when we entered the performance area, the Tiangong was not beautiful, and it was still going down. It started to rain heavily. Preface: Naxi Genesis was late, so we only saw the end of the preface. The scene was already pouring rain, and the roc bird in front also instructed to take a look, and it was a pity to stay.

The scene opens with a pair of lovers dancing together in a red lantern. Lighting and dance vividly interpret a love story.

With a call to assemble, the caravans began to gather, and they were about to start their journey again.

Mufu brilliant

This scene deduces a prosperous Lijiang, and deduces a moving dance, showing that people lived and worked in peace and prosperity during the Mufu period.

Because of the rise of the ancient tea-horse road, Lijiang had friendly relations with the surrounding ethnic groups and countries during the period when Mufu governed Lijiang. Therefore, Lijiang also became the economic hub of the southwest region at that time (Ming Dynasty). In 1382, the central government of the Ming Dynasty conferred the surname "Mu" in recognition of Lijiang's chieftain's loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, and hard work in governance. As the news spread, people of all nationalities came to congratulate.

Jade Dragon Third Country

This scene tells the story of the Naxi people who are not afraid of the world's vision, and desperate for love. A man and a woman broke through resistance and found the love story of "Jade Dragon Third Country". Forgive me for writing this scene so simply, I am not interested in this kind of love story.

Epilogue: Finding Shambhala

Shambhala, Tibetan transliteration! Also called Shangri-La, which means "Elysium".

In the end, the scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the ancient city appear alternately on the screen, the seasons change and the stars change. What remains unchanged is that we are still looking for the heart of Shambhala. When the prayer flags floated neatly over the stage, the climax of the audience was at this moment. Everyone stood up, put their hands together, and prayed sincerely.

Lijiang has always given me the impression that it is an ancient city, but the paradise of Eternal Love has added some modern things.

Bumper cars may be my favorite project, exciting and fun. I remember hitting a blue bag on my head when I was playing with this game.

You can also find childhood fun here

lugu lake

On the fifth day, we drove to Lugu Lake. But one thing to remind, try not to go to Lugu Lake when the weather is bad on the road, because landslides are particularly easy along the way. We set off around ten o'clock in the morning, and the time for eating on the road was about five hours. Because the journey is relatively long, you can choose to have lunch in Ninglang. The entrance ticket to Lugu Lake from the border of Yunnan is 110 yuan.

You can choose to sit on this pig trough boat here on the Lige Peninsula and travel around the lake, the price is only about 50 per person.

The Rieger Peninsula is probably the best-looking place here in my opinion. The terrain here forms a natural peach heart, so you must take a selfie at this point.

I really like the starry sky here. Sitting by the lake, blowing the wind, looking at the starry sky, drinking wine, singing in the car, it is as comfortable as it is.

The food along Lugu Lake is a bit expensive, but the food is pretty good. Definitely recommend the BBQ here. Baked potatoes are really delicious with a little paprika dip.

day 6

Early the next morning, we chose to go around Lugu Lake, but it was a pity that we didn't see the sunrise of Lugu Lake. I remember that one winter, in the morning at Lugu Lake, I saw the Rizhao Jinshan

Walking Marriage Bridge is located in the Caohai area in the southeast waters of Lugu Lake, and it is the only bridge on Lugu Lake. Under the bridge, due to years of sedimentation, the water depth has become shallow, and there are dense reeds growing there. From a distance, it looks like a sea of ​​grass, so the locals call it "Grass Sea". Walking Marriage Bridge is a place where Mosuo men and women date. The Mosuo people on the banks of Lugu Lake practice the custom of "walking marriage" that "men do not marry and women do not marry".

In Lugu Lake, there are also sunflowers like Xueduo, which is also a good place to take pictures.

After traveling around Lugu Lake, we started to go in the direction of Xichang. The road from Lugu Lake to Xichang is very dangerous, so we must pay attention to safety. It was already 7 o'clock when we arrived in Xichang. It was too late to go to Qionghai in Xichang. The Qionghai in Xichang is also very beautiful. There is also the brazier barbecue in Xichang, which must be eaten.

Xichang - Ya'an - Chengdu - Chongqing

Have a smooth journey and send the little friends back to Chengdu, and then we will go to Chongqing.
