sequence:
I thought that if I worked hard, my dreams would come true.
I thought traveling by car would make me a hero,
I wish someone would break through the doubts and lead me forward.
The rain will rain and it will stop, this is the same truth,
Polaris in the night sky, those who get lost have no fear,
I sing and you listen, everything is calm and calm,
The root note of the G chord soothes the fragile soul.

2. Lijiang Snow Mountain Canyon Performing Arts Park: In the snow mountain valley, the five-hundred-year-old wooden mansion is honored, and the future generations are shining
Strategy and love, the eternal themes of film and television dramas, have you ever been addicted to it?
Kindness and tolerance, the everlasting virtues in the world, have you ever had them?
The ever-flowing Jinsha River nourishes the people of Lijiang Bazi. Mufu, who does not want to be trapped by the Dayan city wall, is still changing, and five hundred years are fleeting.
Today's Lijiang has three world heritage sites, including the World Cultural Heritage Lijiang Old Town, the World Natural Heritage Three Parallel Rivers, and the World Memory Heritage Naxi Dongba Ancient Books and Documents, and has long become a world-renowned tourist city.
In the Dongba Valley Scenic Area at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a Snow Mountain Canyon Performing Arts Park is cooperating with the famous director and actor Yu Rongguang to interpret the new tourism mode of the film and television drama scene scenic spot. Covering an area of 3,000 mu, the Mufu Fengyun Landscape Scenery Scenic Spot is deeply integrated with the film and television drama "Mufu Fengyun" and the scene performance. Highly restored, the main performers are dressed in costumes, and this innovative live performance and interactive mode brings a new experience to tourists, which cannot be perfectly interpreted by an article, a few photos, a video, or a live broadcast , you really need to experience it yourself. In the blending of snow mountains and canyons, nature and humanities, you begin to understand the history of Mufu, the customs of Naxi, and then recognize a real Lijiang.
The national welcome show will take you into the grand celebration of Lijiang folk; Classic plot scenes such as Flower Valley and Mufu Academy.
In addition to the reproduction of history, there are also current trends here. The canyon glass suspension bridge and the mirror of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain are incomparable regardless of the difficulty of engineering technology or the advantages of geographical location. Shooting the touching moments at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and recording the beauty of Lijiang in the adventure, why go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain or Dayan Ancient Town?
Walking along the tour route and passing the caravan hut on the ancient tea-horse road, there is an endless sea of flowers in front of you. The legendary "morning mist and flowing clouds are gauze tents, green grass and flowers are carpets". Those who love each other will forever proclaim the concept of loyal and unswerving love. You see, Mu Zeng and Aleqiu, who agreed to die in love in "The Wood House", are falling from the sky.
What kind of journey this will be may depend on your inner desire and self-cognition. However, finding unity and fusion in disputes between nations, sympathy and tolerance in family struggles, and pursuing sincere love within the constraints of ethical norms are universal recognition from the nation-state to the individual family.
If life is like a play, I also want to find the moral principles and codes of conduct that I should follow in the big play "The Wind and Cloud in the Wood House".
how about you?
Tips:
If you have been to Lijiang many times, maybe you need to experience new scenic spots. The Snow Mountain Canyon Performing Arts Park under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain not only has the indoor scene performance "Snow Mountain Myth", which is known as Dongba's fantasy epic masterpiece, but also has an outdoor landscape scene show "Mufu Fengyun" that interacts with tourists in an all-round way. The performances are all performed by well-known actors , director, and producer Yu Rongguang personally directed.

The entire tour route, there are Internet celebrity photo spots such as the sea of flowers, the mirror of the snow mountain, the filming base of "The Wind and Cloud in the Wood House", Yu Rongguang's works exhibition center, the sky plank road, the climbing experience of the Ferrada rock wall, Bodhi Huigu, and the caravan inn.

3. Banyan Tree Lijiang: As usual, how happy it is
(1) Member treatment
I feel that the main landscape shooting position of Banyan Tree Lijiang will be addictive. I will take three consecutive shots in the morning, middle and evening, and I also love the feeling of the deep courtyard. To be honest: the swimming pool has a constant temperature of 28 degrees, and the jacuzzi has a constant temperature of 38 degrees. , are not natural hot springs, but this type of room design is already very considerate, okay? Another warm reminder: Banyan Tree, Angsana, and Cassia under the Banyan Tree Group have joined the frequent flyer system of Accor Club. Leya members can calculate SNP when they book through official channels of Banyan Tree Group's brands, and can enjoy the corresponding treatment of membership level when checking in.
(2) Architectural style and room features
Banyan Tree's hotels and resorts are integrated with Asian traditions and local characteristics. In architectural design and interior decoration, a large number of local natural materials and special styles are used to reflect the local customs.
Banyan Tree Lijiang, located in Shuhe, Lijiang at an altitude of 2,400 meters, is immersed in the majestic and majestic beauty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The comfortable and pleasant climate and the pure and primitive natural environment here will fascinate every guest who stays here. Its design is derived from the architectural pattern of the local houses handed down from generation to generation, and vividly reflects the intricate pattern of wells and lanes in the ancient city of Lijiang.
The architectural style of Banyan Tree Lijiang combines traditional Chinese architecture with the local Naxi Dongba culture. Resembling the design of local mansions, each villa is based on rich russet and gold interior tones and features traditional broad roof designs. Banyan Tree's thoughtful service and simple local decoration will take you away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The so-called "the sky with an inch of land is extremely luxurious", you can feel it at Banyan Tree Lijiang.
The room types of Banyan Tree Lijiang include: garden suites, mountain view suites, jacuzzi pool villas, duplex villas, swimming pool suites, presidential suites, etc. The current official website price starts from 1900 yuan.
In the one-bedroom jacuzzi villa experienced this time, the room is reasonably separated into the rest area, meeting area and washing area, and each functional area is self-contained. The bedroom is facing the constant temperature massage pool, and with the full range of SPA washing and treatment products produced by Banyan Tree, it is enough to relieve any travel fatigue. In addition, the privacy of the garden is quite good, and the hotel even stipulates that aerial drones are not allowed to fly in the villa area.
The highlight of the guest room is that the theme of essential oils and incense sticks are changed every day. Soothing the body and mind is the true meaning of staying in a resort hotel. Because the vegetation in the hotel is too lush, the guest rooms are also equipped with mosquito killer lamps and electric mosquito coils, which are convenient for guests with different habits to use at will.
Watching the light and shadow changes of the Jade Dragon Thirteen Peaks quietly in the twilight of the morning, and looking at the vast and deep starry sky when the twilight is dim, is this kind of life counted as lying down and winning?
When you wake up drunk in the afternoon, the bamboo doors with pine windows are full of chic.
(3) Buffet breakfast
What urges me to get up early is not only a rich or exquisite breakfast, but also a clear view of the snow-capped mountains that is out of date. Banyan Tree Lijiang has an excellent view of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but the best viewing time must be in the morning, that’s right, the earlier the better, when the sun rises, the light will become less soft. As the temperature increases, the water vapor in the clouds surrounding the snow-capped mountains evaporates and condenses, becoming thicker and moving extremely slowly. At that time, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was looming. Therefore, every day, there will be many guests who are ready to check out after breakfast, linger in the courtyard of the hotel, wanting to take a last look at the clear snow-capped mountains, but are reluctant to leave for a long time.
As a landscape restaurant, the breakfast at Mingyue Restaurant is exquisite. After you are seated, regular coffee and tea needless to say, American, Mocha, latte, decaf coffee, English black tea, green tea, Puer tea, oolong tea, chamomile, passion fruit tea Everything is available, and there are even Ovaltine and Horlicks just for kids.
In addition to regular single-sided and double-sided fried eggs, eggs Benedict and eggs Florentine are also available.
In terms of dishes, we follow the consistent meal preparation guidelines of international chain five-star hotels and resorts. In addition, it brings together all kinds of delicacies from the whole province of Yunnan. Lijiang Baba, Chicken Bean Jelly, and Blowing Liver are the most popular buffet breakfast dishes in Mingyue Restaurant.
It is recommended that you dine outdoors. There is a cool breeze in the morning to wake up your unawakened heart. The koi with conspicuous patterns are parading around the lake and waiting for guests to feed. The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and the blue sky and white clouds are reflected in this pond. look up.
The bright moon is bright and full, and I drink in the court.
(4) Dinner
Is it necessary to spend a day full of enthusiasm, so that it is not a waste of time, then my time at Banyan Tree Lijiang is really fulfilling.
Walking through the deep courtyard, the types of fruit trees cover the four seasons. I ran into a peacock that was not beautiful. I strolled in the hotel every day, as if there was no one else around, as if Banyan Tree was my royal back garden, waiting for the sunset to dye the snow-capped mountains red , we know that tomorrow should be a sunny day.
For dinner, we still choose Mingyue Restaurant. At present, we can also enjoy free room service, and the meal preparation time is about one hour.
Both Chinese and Western-style set meals for two people are relatively cost-effective, cold yak meat, Xuanwei stir-fried pork, Yongping yellow braised chicken, pineapple chicken risotto, Thai-style grilled pork neck, ham pizza, creamy pumpkin soup, vegetable salad, dessert snacks, Seasonal fruits...every dish tastes just right.
For those who order food, the above-mentioned Yunnan dishes are of course recommended for Chinese food. In addition, matsutake mushroom soup and Jingpo cold chicken are must-orders. Southeast Asian dishes are preferred for Western food.
Jade drop bead dish, cold fragrance for dinner.
4. Diqing Pudacuo National Park: lush grass and wild flowers
Pudacuo National Park in Diqing Prefecture, located in the central area of the Greater Shangri-La Scenic Area, is an important part of the World Natural Heritage "Three Parallel Rivers". The scenic spot is composed of Bita Lake, Shudu Lake and Militang sub-alpine pasture. From September 3, 2017, the core scenic spot of Bitahai and the Militang sub-alpine pasture will be closed to tourists.
The two main lakes in the park: Shudu Lake and Bita Lake are located on the north and south sides of the park, more than 10 kilometers apart. Between the two lakes, there are scenic spots such as Luorong Village and Militang Grassland. Due to the long distance, tourists generally take sightseeing buses and travel according to the driving route. Take the scenic sightseeing bus at the entrance, and you can arrive at Shudu Lake Scenic Area in about 20 minutes. The water of Shudu Lake is clear and blue, and there is a stretch of plateau pastures beside the lake. Wildflowers bloom beautifully on the pastures in spring and summer. In the early morning of winter, the water vapor on the lake surface condenses like a layer of white mist on the water surface. Only by taking the first bus in the morning can you enjoy this wonderful sight. There is a 3.3-kilometer walking plank road built along the lake in the pasture, and it takes about 1-1.5 hours to complete a circle. At the end of the plank road is the bus station, and the original sightseeing route after that is closed. In other words, you only have 1-1.5 hours of hiking time to enjoy the endless lakes, wetlands with dead trees, luxuriant grass, and wild flowers...
It is no longer possible to see the "sea of oak trees made of felt" in Tibetan - Bitahai. According to legend, the oak trees beside the lake are as dense as green felt. There are a lot of rhododendrons growing in the woods. Every May and June, when the flowers bloom in warm spring, the petals of the rhododendrons fall into the water, and the fish eat the slightly poisonous rhododendrons and float to the surface one after another. This is the rhododendron drunken fish.
The scenery of Pudacuo Park today is lackluster. Since the overall altitude of the park is between 3,500 meters and 4,150 meters, and the plateau climate is unpredictable, if tourists take into account the possibility of altitude sickness, they really don’t need to go.
The ticket price is 20 yuan in the off-season, 40 yuan in the peak season, 60 yuan for the sightseeing bus to and from the scenic spot, and the opening time of the scenic spot is 0830/0900-1600. It is recommended to visit for 2 hours, and the parking lot is charged.
5. Gadan Songzanlin Monastery in Diqing: "Little Potala Palace" in the Tibetan area
Kardan Songzanlin Monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Yunnan and the center of the Yellow Sect in Sichuan and Yunnan. It plays a pivotal role in the entire Tibetan area and is known as the "Little Potala Palace". Built on the mountain, the temple looks like an ancient castle. It is a collection of Tibetan plastic arts, and it is also known as the "Tibetan Art Museum". Every year on the 29th day of the 11th lunar month in the Tibetan calendar, Tibetans hold the Gedong Festival here, which is dominated by "dancing gods" (mask dance). The atmosphere is mysterious and warm.
The temple, also known as Guihua Temple, is located at the foot of Foping Mountain, 5 kilometers north of Shangri-La City, Diqing Prefecture. It was built in 1679 (the 11th year of the Yin Tuyang in the Tibetan calendar), and it was built in 1681 (the year of the Yin Tie Rooster). completed. The fifth Dalai Lama personally bestowed the name "Gadan Songtsan Forest", which is one of the "Thirteen Forests" built by the fifth Dalai Lama and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.
The Lamu Yangcuo Lake, which belongs to the same scenic spot, means "Holy Mother Soul Lake" in Tibetan. It is located opposite Songzanlin Temple. According to legend, it is the soul lake of the goddess Bandan Ram.
Special reminder: Songzanlin Temple belongs to the Gelug Sect temple, so when visiting the main hall, remember to go in from left to right, and turn the prayer wheel clockwise.
Transportation: Bus No. 3 to Gulong Songzanlin Temple Station, walk 741 meters.
The ticket price is 27.5 yuan in the off-season, 55 yuan in the peak season, 20 yuan for the minibus to and from the scenic spot, 15 yuan for the explanation, the opening time of the scenic spot is 0800-1800, the recommended tour time is 2 hours, and the parking lot is free.
6. Banyan Tree Ringha: Since childhood, I have been alone in taking care of the stars of all ages
The Shudugang River is gurgling, the top of Nare Mountain is covered with snow, and there is your idyllic dream in the Ren'an Valley...
(1) Special Reminder
Banyan Tree Ringha, Shangri-La, except for the Tibetan-style ranch houses transformed into villa rooms, the remaining buildings are used as a book bar in the lobby, a souvenir shop, a restaurant, a SPA health and physiotherapy center, and a room service center. In addition, the surprise in the yurt is for you to decipher by yourself, so I won't spoil it. Another warm reminder: Banyan Tree Ringha is not open all year round, and the winter weather conditions in the Diqing Plateau Tibetan area are relatively harsh, so the hotel will have a few months of winter break every year.
(2) Architectural style and room features
The spring of 2020 is coming later than before. Diqing Shangri-La in May and June seems to have not fully woke up from the bleak and long winter. The sea of flowers has not yet bloomed, the grass is only slightly green, and a large number of tourists have not yet arrived... …
Fifteen years have passed, but in the Ren'an Valley, there are still the happiest cattle and sheep strolling on the country trails, the most devout Tibetans worship in temples that have faded away from tourists, and there are the most leisurely daily life in small hidden villages. put on...
Banyan Tree Ringha is still a Tibetan idyllic dream. The quiet Tibetan village gathers all urbanites’ fantasies of seclusion. It is still one of the most classic resort hotels of Banyan Tree.
Located at an altitude of 3,300 meters, Banyan Tree Ringha is hidden in a remote village in the Tibetan area. It is mysterious and hidden. It took 11 years to build and was transformed from 18 Tibetan-style pastures, 14 of which were made into There are 32 villa rooms, whose exquisite and solid architectural model follows the traditional Tibetan style.
The room types of Banyan Tree Ren'an include: Tibetan ranch house, Tibetan spring bath ranch house, two-bedroom Tibetan cottage, and two-bedroom Ren'an cottage. The current price on the official website starts from 1,600 yuan.
Live in a traditional Tibetan ranch house with a narrow top and a wide bottom. There is an independent small courtyard and a duplex loft. The upstairs is a bedroom and living room, and the downstairs is a bathroom, toilet and cloakroom. A handmade wooden bathtub is placed in the middle. The color tone of the whole room is dazzling red and black, showing a different aesthetic concept and living atmosphere from the Central Plains. There are thangkas hanging on the wall behind the big bed, a small bar transformed from a Buddhist altar, and beautifully crafted woven carpets on the floor. , There are also various Tibetan-style decorations in the guest room, and even the nameplate of the room key is engraved with the name of the original owner of the house.
15 Tibetan pasture houses, the second floor is a spacious living room and bedroom, the first floor has a luxurious wooden bathtub and a private garden terrace; 6 Tibetan spring pasture houses, the biggest feature is the SPA treatment room; 8 two-bedroom houses The Tibetan-style hut has two bedrooms, facing the valley and the river; there are also 3 two-bedroom Ren'an huts, all with their own heated Kang. There are only two options for room size, 175 or 325 square meters.
I just want to live here with peace of mind, escape from the world, and experience the real life of the Tibetan people.
You don't have to get up early to go to Dabao Temple to turn the prayer wheel; you don't have to go to the Tibetan family to visit the parents in the afternoon; there are few tourists in the evening, and the bonfire for dancing has not yet been lit.
During the day, it is enough to wear the Tibetan costumes provided by the hotel for free; at night, it is enough to cover a thin quilt and watch the starry sky in the reclining chair in the yard, face the poverty, and be simple and optimistic.
(3) Buffet breakfast
There was a moment when I really thought so. I should go far away, to see the world, to find something, to find something or someone.
For Shangri-La, my thoughts are to take a look at the sunny Jinshan of Meili Snow Mountain, hike Yubeng, and stay in the first Banyan Tree in China hidden in the valley - Banyan Tree Ren'an.
Drive for four hours from Banyan Tree Lijiang, pass Lashihai, Tiger Leaping Gorge, Dukezong Ancient City, and at the end of the road in the Tibetan village of Hongpo Village, Jiantang Town, is Banyan Tree Ren'an.
The morning in the Ringha Valley is quiet and peaceful. The river becomes steamy under the sunlight, covering the village like fairy spirit, and the clouds and mist flow mistyly. In the morning light, the stacked Tibetan-style pastures are surrounded by snow-capped mountains, as if walking into a paradise. Here you can stay away from the impetuous hustle and bustle of the city and find your inner true self.
Drink a bowl of mellow buttered tea and eat a mouthful of sweet tsampa in Zuixuan Bar Restaurant. Of course, there are also delicacies from all over the world here. The latte prepared by the Tibetan brother is also very international.
(4) Dinner
Obtaining ingredients requires a lot of hard work and patient waiting. This rule also applies to Dashan. When you are in Shangri-La, of course you must taste the ultimate delicacy gifted by nature - matsutake.
At Banyan Tree Ringha, you don’t have to spend a lot of money to get the ingredients. You just need to call the front desk and make a reservation an hour in advance, and you can enjoy a piece at the Zuixuan Bar Restaurant, which gathers many natural ingredients from the Diqing Plateau. Yak hotpot set menu.
Put black-bone chicken, wild mushrooms, and special Tibetan spices into the black pottery pot specially made by Nixi village, stew slowly over charcoal fire, wait for the soup to boil, then add yak meat, matsutake, black pork, wild river fish, etc. Fresh ingredients, served with the hotel chef's secret hot pot dipping sauce, and then you can eat until you stand up against the wall.
Today, unprecedented abundance of food coexists with unprecedented resource constraints. If we look for the answer in the wisdom of our ancestors, they may warn us that in our short life, there are thousands of mansions, only six feet of sleep at night, a lot of wealth, and only three meals during a solar eclipse.
And what I am nostalgic for is this Tibetan yak hot pot set meal.
Conclusion:
I just want to hold you and walk into a distant dream,
The red roof of the cabin, the address is a secret,
You hold the kitten, blue eyes are no longer blue,
Where is Shangri-La, let us find it.
