From north to south to Dali

It has a high reputation in the eyes of Dali people. This is a fantastic paradise. People live a peaceful and peaceful life. Here, you can find a fantastic fairy tale world. Here, let me share my journey all the way south to Dali.

I made an appointment with myself on March 22, 20 17. At that time, I wrote down that sentence and said, "I have seen this sentence before." When you recited that sentence, Alaska cod was jumping out of the water. When you do math, seagulls on the Pacific coast fly over the city. When studying at night, the night sky in the limit map is colorful. "At that time, I was wearing headphones, listening to the soothing melody and watching it with a quiet heart. When I was in high school, I never thought I could go to so many places alone, and traveling would become a part of my life. I hope I can find such fun in my busy work and study, and I hope I can enjoy the greatest freedom. This trip to Yunnan will start from Lugu Lake and pass through Lijiang Dali (Shuanglang) Kunming. Yunnan, I'm coming.

Wake up and look at the grass sea.

February 17, the results of the postgraduate entrance examination came out. Well, it's higher than last year's college score, but it's an embarrassing 2 points higher, so I have been hesitant when preparing for the second interview. After all, I still want to go to Tibet in March and enter Nepal from Tibet. I think it is a good idea to go to Tibet. The root of this idea is that I saw photos of China National Geographic magazine in junior high school. Don't be too shocked. Some big coffees only remember Wang Shi and climbing Mount Everest, which is great.

However, I have been hesitant about procrastination. I want to buy a train ticket and transfer from Xining. If I don't get the ticket, I'll put it off until the end of March. Just then, a "surprise" phone call came ~ my cousin asked me if I wanted to go for a walk on road trip. The surprise from the sky fell on my head, thinking that it would save me money for travel and accommodation. How can I not go? God, I have despised you for ten thousand times in my heart.

[Pre-trip Planning]

Due to the holiday in Tomb-Sweeping Day from April 2 to April 4, many tourists traveled during the holiday. Later, when traveling on national holidays, highway tolls were exempted. Hehe, going to tourist attractions on holidays is just to see the "sea of people". So the rush hour must be staggered. My cousin went to work normally on April 5, so the schedule was very tight. Finally, I decided to visit go on road trip on March 31-April 4, and travel alone from April 4 to April 6.

Route: Chengdu-Lugu Lake-Lijiang-Dali-Kunming.

The basic route is this. At first, I wanted to stay in Lugu Lake. If you don't have time to go to Lijiang, go to go to dali, have a good rest in Lugu Lake and let life slip away for three days. But when I arrived at Lugu Lake, I found that everyone was not interested! This lake is exactly the same as the lake in my hometown (Zhongsheng Lake)! It's all green water and blue sky, and there's a piggy boat. Is it too beautiful for me to imagine? Whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip, whip

From Chengdu to Lugu Lake

Take the G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway first, and then take the 307 provincial highway. You can go directly to Lugu Lake Scenic Area without going through Xichang. Now, we usually use navigation. We must navigate the whole journey. If the road conditions are good, the expressway is easy to walk, that is, provincial highway 307! The winding mountain road and narrow road are really difficult to walk. We took the expressway at 10 in the morning and arrived near Xichang at 5 pm. Because a child over 3 years old stopped at the service station, the delay was longer. It will be dark after 6 o'clock. Actually, it's quite dangerous to drive a mountain road, but my cousin is cautious and bold. She didn't arrive at Lugu Lake Scenic Area until near 10 in the evening.

There was a child and a carsick sister along the way, and it was hard for the young and the old to serve. So riding all the way is an experienced person. An experienced person has several suggestions.

One: children had better download cartoons in the car in advance. Playing videos on mobile phones and cars can attract children's attention.

Two: I bought fruits, snacks and biscuits. If you are hungry on the road, you may not find a restaurant. For example, we brought homemade soaked chicken feet to satisfy our hunger.

Bring your own chicken feet.

Three: carsick people must be prepared in advance when taking a long-distance bus. Motion sickness medicine, motion sickness patch, how to use it will be ready. Don't eat greasy food in advance, and eat less on the way! Finally, remember to bring an orange and put the orange peel on your nose. Very good, and the air is good ~

Four: the air in the car for a long time is definitely not good. The host remembers to open the window every half hour to get some air.

Five: Commonly used drugs for weather forecast

Magic collocation _ _ Checking the weather can prevent colds or heatstroke, and taking medicine can cure colds and heatstroke.

Average monthly temperature in Lugu Lake

Six: Bring a hot water cup. After all, the service station still has boiling water to pick up. Drinking hot water is always necessary.

Seven: It rains in succession during the Qingming Festival. It's true. Wan Li will be sunny and rainy for a while. In mountainous areas, the temperature is quite low, very cold. Since both summer clothes and winter clothes in go on road trip need beautiful summer clothes (skirts and sandals), so do warm winter clothes (sweaters and down jackets).

You carry the load, I lead the horse, and it's tiring and dusty all the way. In the afternoon 10, I went to Lugu Lake Scenic Area. Student ticket 100 yuan, half price. If you buy a ticket, you can enter through the gate of the scenic spot. It is said that it is 10 kilometers from the ticket gate to the scenic spot ~ so we drove all the way to find the hotel.

At this time, just two minutes after entering the scenic spot, I saw the light of @ Weijin Inn on, as if waiting for us in the Blue Devil.

Surprise feels good, 100 yuan.

You'd better not take a bath if you have altitude sickness.

Children's fun

Clean up and go to bed early, not the next day, how can you enjoy the beautiful scenery? I think traveling needs relaxation, but this relaxation is based on going to bed early and getting up early. Sightseeing is a physical activity, but you still do not pay attention to your work and rest. Isn't that tired?

Open the window and see the beautiful scenery.

After the rain, the air is straight through the heart and spleen, which makes people feel comfortable.

After driving, I will go to Lugu Lake Town for breakfast, then go around Lugu Lake clockwise ~ stop and go, and then visit the scenic spots. Maybe I'm lucky. There is still some foggy weather in the morning. With the arrival of the sun, the dark clouds dispersed ~

Driving: Caohai-Zouhun Bridge-Huguhu Town-Lovers Beach-Xiaoluoshui-Nisai-diamond island-Luoshui-Observation Deck (to Lijiang)

Zouhun bridge

Pedestrian bridge-the only bridge on Lugu Lake, is the place where Mosuo men and women meet. During the day, adult Mosuo men and women sing and dance at parties to express their feelings to their loved ones. If a man falls in love with a woman, he will date her during the day and then go to the wedding bridge at night. Here, men call their female lover "Xia" and women call their male lover "A Zhu". As night falls, "Azhu" comes and goes on the wedding bridge as scheduled. This is the perfect place for a date.

Zouhun bridge

Popularize Mosuo marriage customs:

Mosuo, a nation known as the "daughter country", still retains the matriarchal social system here, and everything in Mosuo is dominated by women. Mosuo people have a unique way of getting married-"going out to get married", which is called "sex" in Mosuo language, which means "walking". It is vividly explained that walking marriage is a kind of marriage relationship that stays at night and leaves in the morning. There is no marriage between men and women. It's just that the man will live in the woman's house at night and still live and work in his own house during the day. At night, men will knock on women's doors with unique passwords. For married men and women, the key factor to maintain the relationship is affection. Once the feelings are weak or the personality is incompatible, you can break off the relationship at any time. Therefore, the emotional freedom is high, and the woman plays a leading role in sexual affairs. Once the woman stops opening the door for the man, the marriage will come to an end. Well, Mosuo people still have this custom. No wonder I see that Mosuo women who sell clothes, honey and other items are all women, and their status is higher than that of men ~

Lama Temple

On the way to lover's beach, I met the Lama Temple and wanted to see it, but this little guy is cr.

It's cute to cry.

This is a place of Tibetan Buddhism. The Mosuo people in Lugu Lake believe in their primitive religion Daba, and they also believe in Lamaism. Since Lamaism was introduced into Lugu Lake, black and yellow temples have been built in this area, which is also a place of believing in Buddhism.

I think this temple is really beautiful. In terms of color alone, it is colorful and dazzling. I don't believe in Buddhism, but I believe in some concepts such as karma and good karma. I'm very religious about prayer flags. All these, prayer flags, temples and children, constitute a beautiful picture.

The next stop is lover's beach, where many Mosuo women are buying their own clothes, which are cheap and beautiful.

Local women like red, purple and blue, with colored stripes on the edges ~ so we can see that shawls or tops are mainly made of these three colors, which are more bright and light.

Spring has come.

Here comes the blessing.

My little nephew can play with sand with great enthusiasm. He really wants to hit him when he doesn't listen and doesn't eat, but he is usually a little clown, a naughty boy and lovable.

Lover's Beach (next to Lover's Beach are Gemu Mountain and Houlongshan Mountain) is a beautiful love story. It is said that Gemu Shenshan and Houlongshan used to be lovers. Only by being enchanted by the gods and entering Gemu Mountain and Houlong Mountain can we face each other across the sea. The gods only allow them to meet once in July of 15. They meet every day at the lover's beach, snuggle up to each other and tell their sorrows, from which the "lover's beach" comes. Not only the scenery is beautiful, but also the story is moving.

Next stop @ Xiaoluoshui

An interesting thing happened in Luoshui. Aunt wanted to go to the toilet, so she went to the hotel in Xiaoluoshui and asked where there was a toilet. The clerk of the hotel said, "There is one in front of the dining room, 200 yuan once." My aunt was surprised and said, "I only spent 100 in one night, and I spent 200 on the toilet." Is this toilet made of gold? "Later, she said that 20 yuan has a" discount ".

This is a joke on the bus. At noon, the sun is getting better and better ~ the mood is getting better and better ~ Then we went to Rige Island, where the scenery is picturesque and the blue waves are like mirrors, and the white clouds in the sky are in harmony with the surrounding peaks.

Pig trough ship

Have you ever seen a pig trough boat?

Pigboat is a canoe, which is called "the death of the sun" in Mosuo language. It is made by hollowing out a thick log and sharpening both ends. Named after its long pig trough, Lugu Lake is isolated from the world, and the only means of transportation in the lake is the trough boat.

Once you allow 10 yuan on the tanker, the price of the ship will increase.

The price of going to various scenic spots by boat (reference):

Drilling rig-drilling floor: 10 yuan/person; Drilling rig-Bird Island: 30 yuan/person; Drilling rig-Huxin Island (Laowa Island): 35 yuan/person; Drilling rig-Xiaoluoshui: 40 yuan/person; Drilling rig-Rhoda Water: 45 yuan/person; Luoshui-Limousine Island: 40 yuan/person; Num- Princess Island-Libby Island: 45 yuan/person

Lugu Lake is beautiful, but it doesn't attract us much. We have to keep going south ~ ~

When it comes to Lugu Lake arriving in Lijiang, it is self-evident that the Li Ning Highway has been fully opened to traffic, with two lanes. The whole highway has beautiful scenery, but the mountains are high and steep, and there are many hairpin bends. It takes about four hours to get there because people who are afraid of heights are more troublesome. There are guardrails on the road, but they are not high. Anyway, you can pay attention. It is worth mentioning that this section of the road is from one mountain to another. At the top of the mountain, strong winds push white clouds. My sister-in-law said, "I used to watch Journey to the West and thought that the clouds were all fake, but now they are really fake." It's so beautiful ~ I finally arrived in Lijiang and went straight to Old Town of Lijiang, ready to see the night view of Old Town of Lijiang. Ha ha ha ha ha ha, Lijiang is not a city of romance, but there are old people and children, so it is impossible to go to bars. I haven't been to the bar yet. Although there was no affair, I met the beauty of Lijiang.

I live in Qinyuan Inn in Zhong Yi Lane, which is very close to the ancient city. This is an antique yard, quite quiet. 140 yuan standard room for one night, free access to the ancient city. In fact, the entrance to Old Town of Lijiang is free, but you have to pay the maintenance fee of the ancient city. 80 yuan is generally accepted by inns and hotels. You can also buy it at the entrance of the ancient city and the ticket offices of various scenic spots. (Visit Yulong Snow Mountain Scenic Area, Shogun Park, Black Dragon Pool Park, etc. Generally, the receipt of ancient tour fee is required. ).

The yard is full of flowers and plants. It is said that it is a waste to come to Lijiang instead of living in Old Town of Lijiang. Old Town of Lijiang's inns are exquisite in literature and art, revealing all kinds of friendship everywhere.

Including Lijiang Shuhe ancient town, Dayan ancient town, Baisha ancient town and other ancient towns. Baisha town is almost a village, and few people will go there. Friends who go to Shuhe ancient town say it is similar to Dayan ancient town, but its commercialization is not serious and it has a rural flavor. Dayan ancient town has been commercialized, but it still feels very good. Exquisite clothing stores, jewelry stores, inns, bars and Sifang Street are all very lively at night.

Old Town of Lijiang is the only ancient city without walls except the wooden palace. The reason is that the toast is "wooden" and the surrounding walls become "sleepy", which is not very good, so there is no wall.

Many people wandered to Yunnan and Lijiang, so they stayed in this ancient city, opening inns, holding guitars and singing their own songs.

After seeing the food stores recommended by the top three beehives, there was bait to block the time. The store is small but simple and exquisite, and the clerk is very enthusiastic. He introduced the special dishes here, ordered bait slices and French fries, which were delicious.

Bait time

Slice bait

Next, I went to Heshu Restaurant and found that the food here likes to use mint leaves. Naxi barbecue, Naxi grilled fish is covered with mint leaves, and the barbecue here is bacon. Grilled fish is just so-so, because I come from Sichuan. After all, Sichuan grilled fish is also delicious ~ Naxi grilled fish and Xiaoyao are the specialties here, and Xiaoyao is the weeds growing in the water. It is delicious, so I recommend it! Children can order pineapple rice, sour plum juice and plum wine.

In a straight line

Eat and drink enough, continue to visit the ancient city and go back to the inn ~ ~ I plan to go to Longxue Snow Mountain the next day, but the temperature is too low. Because of the high altitude and thin air, I didn't go to Yulong Snow Mountain ~

We don't go to Shangri-La, but we want to see Tiger Leaping Gorge. First, we will navigate to Tiger Leaping Gorge, which is divided into two parts, Lijiang and Shangri-La. I suggest going to Shangri-La. This is the same road as the expressway to Lijiang, and then there are two forks. You can take G2 14 National Highway, and the road conditions are very good. Although the winding mountain is tortuous, the road is wide and the climate in the mountain is changeable. Pay attention to the weather and look at the snow-capped mountains ahead.

Take the G2 14 National Highway, turn into a fork in the road near Hutiaoxia Town, and then walk along the river to Shanghutiaoxia, which is divided into upper, middle and lower sections. Tiger Jump is the only place in road trip. Because the middle tiger strip and the lower tiger strip are hiking routes, one of the top ten classic hiking routes in the world, cars can't get in.

Turn into the fork in the road is the ticket office of the scenic spot. After booking tickets online, you can buy tickets. 50 tickets are only sold in 5 yuan, and student tickets are half price. The advantage is that there is no need to wait in line when there are many people. Out of the national highway, the road became steep. Although it is paved and the road surface is smooth, there is a cliff on one side and a deep valley on the other. The road surface is not wide and there are many bends. It takes about ten kilometers to reach Shanghai Huyue, and it is very spectacular to stand on the cliff road overlooking the Jinsha River.

As soon as I saw the snow-capped mountains

When you get to the scenic spot, you need to go down to the foot of the mountain to see the flowing water of Tiger Leaping Gorge. We have to climb many stairs, and it takes an hour to go back and forth. The little guy was afraid to go at first, but later he was challenged to compete with me to see who climbed fast. This small number didn't let him climb to the top of the mountain.

Running water rushes forward, history disappears and dynasties change. The only constant is that flowing water enters the sea and never returns. Everything is changing, but I hope my heart will remain unchanged and my youth will remain unchanged.

Tiger Leaping Gorge

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, I drove all the way to the "Shuanglang" without going through butterfly spring, and the Shuanglang was being rectified. Now all the inns can't book an inn, and the vehicles are limited. Vehicles can only pass after 6 pm. We stopped at Shuanglang, and there were many vendors selling fried fish and shrimp along the road. We must have a taste. It's crisp. The boss said it was just fished out of Erhai Lake. It's delicious! Start wearing sweaters in Tiger Leaping Gorge. As soon as we got to the double gallery, the temperature went up, more than 20 degrees. I immediately changed into a long skirt _

Somewhere beyond the mist/blue sky and white clouds.

Take a picture in the car, it's all blue sky and white clouds. The clouds in Chengdu are too thick to see the sun. As soon as the sun comes out, Sichuanese all go to the park to bask in the sun, fly kites and play mahjong. Leisure lifestyle may also be related to climate. According to local people, the annual temperature in Dali is 15 to 20 degrees, hot or cold, and the climate is pleasant.

Double gallery

A big wave of selfies is coming.

Erhai

Erhai

The circumference of Erhai Lake is117km, and it takes two or three hours to drive around. I think the most beautiful scenery section is from the double gallery to the vegetable field, without any obstacles from the village. The sea and sky are the same along the line, and Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake have a panoramic view. Our route is Shuanglang-Excellent-Xiaoputuo-Dali (Dali Ancient City, Chongsheng Temple, Cangshan). We stayed in many small hotels in Chuse-Chuse town. Please refer to the reserved suggestions and opinions.

The rental market of battery cars in Dali is very developed, especially on the east bank of Erhai Lake. From the double gallery to the colorful excavation, colorful battery cars can be seen everywhere, and even become a beautiful landscape ~ blowing around Erhai Lake makes you feel comfortable _

Shuanglang town

Erhai

In fact, Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake are similar, both lakes! Now, traveling on the road is recommended to stay in the local area for two days, rent a battery car, book a room with a sea view, live slowly, visit Chuze Town and eat delicious food. The town here is also commercialized, but the local residents live here and have the taste of an ancient city.

To tell the truth, Erhai Lake and Lugu Lake will be beautiful when the weather is good, but there is nothing to see when it rains. Just a lake. The fun of traveling here depends on the mood.

Yunnan, a magical place. This time, I will leave a little regret. The snow-white Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the red land in Dongchuan and the super-high bar in Old Town of Lijiang are all worth going again ~ The smell of sunshine in the air belongs to Yunnan and my memory.
