An hour-long trip to Lijiang prose essay

It is said that Yunnan is a beautiful place, especially Lijiang, which is worth visiting. I had to take a bus to Lijiang early the next day. I checked into the hotel in the evening. I was in a good mood, but my body was tired and reminded me to get some rest. When I was lying in bed and calling home to report that I was safe, my wife happened to call me. Her voice was a little hoarse and she told me in a sad tone: My mother-in-law was seriously ill and the hospital issued a critical illness notice! My wife didn’t say anything further, but I knew that my mother-in-law was terminally ill, so I decided to give up the trip and rush back the next day.

Most of the rest of the trip cannot be continued, which is really a pity. My friends also feel sorry for me. The tour guide is a careful girl. She thought for a while and said to me: "Do you think this will work? Let's go to Lijiang together tomorrow. We will arrive at about two o'clock at noon. You can play in Lijiang for an hour and then take the bus from Lijiang." If you fly to Kunming and then transfer in Kunming, you can still go home on the same day... I'll help you book a flight ticket first. "I heard it was a good idea and it was a worthwhile trip, so I happily agreed.

During the more than five-hour drive from Dali to Lijiang, there was laughter and laughter along the way. For someone like me who almost missed Lijiang, I don’t know who hummed the tune and joked: "Actually, I don’t want to leave, but actually I want to stay..."

Lijiang is a familiar but unfamiliar dream to me. I have heard many stories and legends about her, read too many pictures and words about her, and have been immersed in the melody of "Going Home", the theme song of "Reflecting Lijiang" again and again. This time I can finally enter the dreamland. , ***Ming the longing that has been stacked in my heart for these years - even though I only had a short hour.

As you approach Lijiang, you will see stone carvings, waterwheels and screen walls: the stone carvings condense the folk customs of the Naxi people, the waterwheels standing there show the simplicity of the small town, and the inscriptions of great men on the screen walls explain the history and history of the place. Humanities.

Walking into the alleys is actually walking into the streets of the ancient city and savoring the verandas of the ancient city. The wooden buildings with exquisite shapes and carved walls are connected one to another. The courtyard and patio are full of vitality with exotic flowers and plants, chirping birds and flying bees, reflecting the local people's interest in life. There are ditches in the city, and streets and streets, houses and streets, and houses are mostly connected by small bridges. Walking on those exquisitely constructed stone or wooden bridges, you can see the clear spring water and fish playing among the swaying water plants. . Because it is an important town that must pass through the Ancient Tea Horse Road, merchants from the caravans will stop here to rest. In addition, it has become a hot spot for people to travel in recent years. Almost all the houses here are decorated with lights and have become shops: inns, teahouses, dry goods and snacks, gold and silver Jade and handmade products abound. Every street is full of tourists, white-haired, black-haired, and yellow-haired people. They are snuggling, clustering, and supporting each other in whispers and loudly; those who are loose, walking quickly, and taking a nap signal to each other; they are pregnant from time to time. Naxi girls in national costumes came and left gracefully.

"It's getting late, you have to go to the airport!" When I stood under a wall, concentrating on admiring the Dongba characters on the wall, my friend reminded me. Time is indeed very tight, so I can only say goodbye to everyone reluctantly. When the tour guide and a friend took me out of the city, I suddenly felt a sense of loneliness, and I actually felt jealous of my friends: I had only been in Lijiang General Office for an hour, and I wanted to go home immediately, and They can stay here for two days and fully experience the scenery and charm of this ancient city.

After coming out of the ancient city, I couldn't help but look back again. Lijiang doesn't care about my departure, it is still as beautiful as the joy of heaven. Could it be that this is the real Lijiang - she created such a pure land not for the coming and going of many people today, but when people in reality regard this place as the spiritual home where their souls rest, she is calm and composed. Her mood accepts every heart: whether you feel real, illusory, or both real and illusory, she will stay in your heart without any problem. Just like my seriously ill mother-in-law, whether I return or not has no meaning to her life. However, I can meet her for the last time and express my gratitude for her simple mother-like care for me for more than 20 years. In the pure land of emotions deep in my heart, I will develop feelings as unforgettable as Lijiang...

I think I will go to that calm and composed place at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain again.
