The composition of Old Town of Lijiang
Article 1: Lijiang, an ancient town Lijiang is the last stop in Yunnan and is famous for its ancient city. Old Town of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, 1986 is listed as a national historical and cultural city. It is also called "the four best preserved ancient cities" with Langzhong, Sichuan, Pingyao, Shanxi and Shexian, Anhui. It is one of the only two ancient cities without walls in China's historical and cultural cities.
Old Town of Lijiang is located at the junction of Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan. It has been a famous town since ancient times. Ruled by the Naxi Mu Tusi (founded in 1382) under the jurisdiction of the central government, one of his TV works tells the story of Tusi Mu Jingzhong serving the country and stabilizing the southwest border and the Naxi nationality in Lijiang.
The place called "city" in ancient times refers to a defensive building surrounded by tall walls to resist foreign aggression. It is said that there is no wall in Old Town of Lijiang, which shows that Lijiang is politically stable, its residents live and work in peace and contentment, and its toast is enlightened. At a deeper level, it also reflects the profound cultural heritage and fine traditions of Naxi people.
When you come to the ancient city, you will feel the charm of the ancient city whenever and wherever. The ancient city has flourished for more than 800 years, developed and created by the people, and has always been organically combined with nature and developed in harmony with many ethnic groups. Judging from the architectural style of the ancient city, the streets in the city are built on the mountain and the houses are placed along the river. Roads are paved with red gravel or black and white slates with natural patterns. It is not muddy when it rains, and there is no dust on sunny days. The streets are surrounded by ancient buildings with civil structures. The residential buildings absorbed the architectural essence of Han, Bai, Yi, Tibetan and other nationalities, and formed Old Town of Lijiang residential buildings with unique characteristics and styles. Everything is natural, simple and elegant.
Chapter 2: Old Town of Lijiang returns from Yulong Snow Mountain. We had a rest. It was already evening, and then we went to Old Town of Lijiang. Old Town of Lijiang, also known as Dayan Town, is one of the two ancient cities without walls in China's historical and cultural cities.
After getting off the bus and walking for a few minutes, you can see two antique waterwheels slowly turning forward, which is the symbol of Old Town of Lijiang. At this time, many people have come to the ancient city. We walked along the bar street in the ancient city. The streets of Old Town of Lijiang are built by mountains and rivers, and most of them are covered with red breccia. There will be no mud in rainy season and no fly ash in dry season. Stone patterns are natural and elegant, which complement the environment of the whole ancient city. There is a river in the middle of the street, and the river is crystal clear. According to the data, there are about 300 bridges on this river, among which Dashiqiao is the head of the ancient city bridge, located at 100 meters east of Sifang Street. There are many weeping willows on both sides of the river, and the flower beds made of wood are full of all kinds of small flowers. We took pictures by the river, and my friends and I went down the steps to play by the river, where it was very cold.
The buildings on both sides of the street are completely hand-built houses, with civil structures, hollow doors and windows, and small bridges and flowing water everywhere. It's really beautiful. We came to Sifang Street, which is the center of Old Town of Lijiang. We passed Sifang Street and came to Dashiqiao. Dashiqiao is a double-hole stone arch bridge, with a length of10m and a width of nearly 4m. The bridge deck is paved with traditional five-flowered stones. It is said that the reflection of Yulong Snow Mountain can be seen from the river under the bridge, which is also called "Xue Ying Bridge".
In the evening, it's more lively here. The bar is playing deafening music and the crowd is bustling. Only by walking into those deeper alleys can we truly appreciate the charm of "small bridges and flowing water" and the influence of antique buildings on our ancient Naxi culture.
Chapter III: Beautiful Old Town of Lijiang, Old Town of Lijiang, located in the middle of Lijiang Bazi, is located in the transition zone from Hengduan Mountains in northwest Yunnan to Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. It is a "living" ancient city. The scenery here is charming and will make you linger.
Walking into the beautiful ancient city for the first time and getting close to this ancient place, I felt novel and excited, and I also looked at the scenery here carefully. In the alley that is not very wide, there are smooth stones. After years of wind, frost, rain and snow, the original straight edges and corners of these stones have become very smooth after being trampled by many people. When you step on one foot, you will accidentally slip. There is a stream beside the path. The water in this stream is left by the snow on Yulong Snow Mountain. It passes through the gates of every household and flows through the whole ancient city. It is also an important signpost to get out of this maze. Why do you say that? Because the whole ancient city is like a gossip array, it is easy to get lost, but there is a trick of "going downstream and coming out against the current", which is to judge by the current.
There are willows sweeping the floor on the river bank. The branches on the willow tree are dense, hanging down one by one, like a slim girl, waving her long hair over the heads of tourists, bringing a little coolness to everyone. When I came to Sifang Street, I saw the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance at a glance, which was gray. It is especially obvious in the golden sunshine, just like a white dragon appears in front of you, and you can see many inns across an alley in Old Town of Lijiang. The inn here is exquisite. How leisurely it is to put a rocking chair in the yard, drink a cup of fragrant green tea and hold a book in your hand!
Small bridges and flowing water, people's ancient cities have left me such clear and beautiful memories.
Chapter IV: Pilgrimage Journey-After Shangri-La Old Town of Lijiang walked through Aden Rice City, we decided not to go back the same way, but to go back to Yunnan and give up Hailuogou Scenic Area. Because the road from Litang to xinduqiao is daunting, we don't want to go through the second torture. Yunnan is an expressway, and the altitude is not high, so it may be easier.
At noon, we arrived in Shangri-La, Yunnan. After lunch, the driver took us to Guishan Park, the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La, to turn the prayer wheel. According to the master, the beam we want to turn weighs 14 tons, and it takes more than 20 people to turn it. When I heard the number "fourteen tons", I was cheated. Fourteen tons! It is heavier than two African elephants. Twenty people, can you transfer? Soon, I will dispel my doubts. I turned around and didn't feel very tired. Twenty people are working at the same time, plus the gear at the bottom of the prayer wheel is working, and twenty people are enough. Turning the prayer wheel, I went to take a photo with the Tibetan mastiff. I held the Tibetan mastiff by the neck and took some photos with it. I am very satisfied. But I feel sorry for the Tibetan mastiff. Too poor. Bound by nylon rope, there is no freedom.
Three hours later, we arrived in Lijiang. After putting our luggage in the hotel, we went to Old Town of Lijiang on foot. Old Town of Lijiang is located in the center of Lijiang. From the outside, it is magnificent and beautiful, and it is an ancient building. After entering, every shop, big or small, is covered with lanterns and colorful decorations. We chose a restaurant full of stationery and ordered three dishes and a staple food-spicy chicken, ribs and vegetables, fried wild mushrooms with green peppers and Naxi fried rice. The food is delicious. We had a delicious meal and continued to circle. We visited all the wood carving shops and small jewelry shops here and had a good time. When I arrived at the shop selling leather bags, I bought my father a wallet made of handmade cowhide. I don't know if dad likes it. Mom also bought some wallets for her colleagues. We came home with a full load!
Chapter 5: Journey to Yunnan-After Old Town of Lijiang visited the ancient city of Dali, we came to the famous Old Town of Lijiang.
There is a big waterwheel at the north gate of Old Town of Lijiang. The waterwheel made of wood rotates slowly. The wall next to the waterwheel reads "Old Town of Lijiang World Cultural Heritage". Old Town of Lijiang is very beautiful. The pavement of this ancient city is paved with five-flowered stones. The clear Yuquan water is divided into three streets and lanes from Chengtou, one is divided into three, the other is divided into nine, and then it flows into countless canals. The main street of the ancient city is adjacent to the river, and the alleys are adjacent to the canal, forming a pattern of "every family flows and cries" in the ancient city.
We visited Sifang Street, Bar Street, Snack Street and Ancient Street. In fact, my favorite snack street is Naxi rake, chicken jelly, spike potato, barbecue and other special snacks. I have tasted all kinds of snacks that I have never eaten before, and I am very satisfied. Bars The street is full of bars, where many people drink, chat and read for leisure. Every bar has singers singing good songs. There are many shops in the ancient street, some sell all kinds of artistic decorations, some sell African drums, and the melody is very beautiful by beating them directly with the palm of your hand.
Today happens to be the torch festival of Naxi nationality. At night, a pile of wooden torches will be lit at the door of every Naxi nationality in the ancient city, and several people will dance around the torches. I heard that there was a torch festival party in Sifang street, so we followed the crowd to the square of Sifang street in the ancient city. I saw a fire in the middle of the square, that is, a lot of wood was tied up and tied into a cylinder, which was full of flowers, representing harmony and beauty. When the fire broke out, the square of Sifang Street in the ancient city was suddenly submerged by the crowd, and the ancient city suddenly fell into a "sea of fire"! We are a group of tourists from all over the world, holding hands, walking around the torch, listening to simple music, laughing happily, without any restraint, and laughter is connected with singing.
I was reluctant to leave the ancient city until the torch burned out and the song and dance ended.
Old Town of Lijiang Today, we went to Lijiang, Yunnan, and visited Old Town of Lijiang.
This is really a special ancient city. Why are there no walls? Ancient cities should all have walls. There used to be a story: once upon a time, a prince was sent to Lijiang and given the surname "Mu". The king is very uncomfortable. He didn't want to stay in Lijiang all the time, so when he built the city, he didn't build the city wall. He thought that if he built the city wall, he would seal his "wood" inside, so that he would not become "sleepy"? But just like this, the ancient city without walls has become a major feature of Old Town of Lijiang.
This ancient city is full of buildings with ancient characteristics. The street is very narrow, paved with bluestone slabs, and there is a small river ditch beside the road. There is water everywhere, which is very distinctive. Mainly shops, selling clothes, jade, silver ornaments, jewelry, art paintings and so on with national characteristics, which makes people see things in a blur. This place is very noisy, especially at night, and there are many people, which makes it difficult to walk in the street. You will find that all visitors are foreigners, and quite a few of them are foreigners. Everyone visited and shopped in the brightly lit streets of the ancient city, but they felt more about the ancient city culture, especially the artistic performances and bonfire parties with ethnic characteristics, which attracted many tourists.
I have been to the ancient city three times and have bought four shawls and four ethnic dolls. I don't have the money to buy many things I like. I'm a little disappointed, but it's no use thinking about those things. If I go to tourist attractions instead of shopping, I will not regret it!
Chapter 7: Old Town of Lijiang heard that Lijiang is a beautiful ancient city. This place was originally poor, and it was only because of a big earthquake that everyone was optimistic. The people here are brothers of 55 nationalities, named Naxi. They are honest, hardworking and clever. The most important thing is that they have their own Naxi scripts that have been created and passed down to this day, and the scenery here is beautiful, so they have attracted a large number of tourists from home and abroad to visit in recent years.
Today is the third day of our trip to Yunnan, and we are here. Walking into the ancient city, first of all, I was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery along the way. On both sides of the street are all kinds of lush unknown trees, and the leaves are swaying in the wind, as if welcoming our arrival. At the foot of the tree are crystal clear ditches, many of which are staggered, sometimes winding and sometimes straight, and the water flows happily from top to bottom. I can't wait to run over and put my little hand in the water. Wow! How cool! How cool! Suddenly the wind blew a thick fragrance, which was a bit unique. I followed the scent and saw a lot of people waiting in line ahead. I ran there, too. My mother and I waited for more than ten minutes and finally bought this delicious food. I bit it into my mouth and felt fragrant and crisp. It is really delicious on earth! According to the boss, this is a specialty of Lijiang, but I can't remember the name.
Old Town of Lijiang not only has beautiful scenery and clean environment, but also has many delicious snacks. If there is an opportunity, I will definitely come again next time.
Chapter 8: Visit the quaint and elegant Old Town of Lijiang located in the beautiful Old Town of Lijiang. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, there is Yulong Snow Mountain in the north and "windy city" Dali in the south, which is a beautiful place.
Old Town of Lijiang is antique, and its softness just adds luster to Old Town of Lijiang. Softness is jade dragon water, and hillock is the ancient tea-horse road. They passed through the city at the same time, casting a mysterious veil on Old Town of Lijiang.
Night tour in Old Town of Lijiang, don't have a flavor. The moon is bright in the sky, and the three main roads of the ancient city-Bar Street, Culture Street and Snack Street-are resplendent.
Yunnan has 5 1 ethnic minorities, and Lijiang has 22, which is a city where many ethnic minorities live together. Because of this, things in Cultural Street are colorful and varied, including clothes, root carvings and leather goods.
There are many snack bars on both sides of the road. What street is this? Yes, it is the snack street. Coming here will definitely feast your eyes. What I remember most is glutinous rice Baba, which is sweet, salty and sour, so that you can always find your favorite taste.
It is well known that Bar Street is the most famous of the three streets. As long as Lijiang is mentioned in books such as self-help tours, it has to be mentioned here. There is a hole in the quiet bar here. Actors play guitar for the audience, and the noise and troubles around them can't help but be thrown out of the clouds, so that you can have a quiet world of your own.
Ah! Old Town of Lijiang, you are a paradise, the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people in China.
