Are there any strategies for traveling in Lijiang?

Lijiang, a beautiful name. Let everyone who loves life, travel and romance yearn for it. I went to Lijiang once in 20 16, and I have the idea of going again this year. This is to miss the scenery and life of Lijiang, and the most important thing is this magical land of Lijiang.

1 Line preparation

This trip to Lijiang started from Zunyi, Guizhou. It is very convenient to go to Lijiang from Zunyi now. There is a direct flight, and the sailing time is only 1 hour for 20 minutes. It is really efficient and convenient. For Zunyi's friends, it is really welfare.

Think about the last time I went to Lijiang. Now take the ordinary train to Kunming (there is no high-speed train in Kunming), then take the train to Dali, and finally take the bus to Lijiang. It is really tiring for young people. If there are old people and children, it will be a painful journey. In fact, the traffic in Yunnan has always been a "long-standing problem", and many places with good scenery are discouraged by traffic. But now there are direct flights to take, which is really convenient.

After a short flight, I arrived at Lijiang Sanyi Airport smoothly. There are many ways to get to the ancient city from the airport. I chose to book the pick-up service in advance. The cost of 80 yuan, but a more economical way, is to take the airport bus, or you can go directly to Lijiang City. It is also a good choice to take a taxi to the ancient city after 20 yuan arrives in the city.

I spent my first night in a homestay in Old Town of Lijiang, took a rest, refreshed myself, and enjoyed other beautiful scenery tomorrow.

On the first day, Lijiang has a long history.

The next day, we started our trip to Lijiang. This time, I chose to come to Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Spot in Yulong County of Lijiang as the first stop of my trip to Lijiang.

This scenic spot is really a "regret" of my last trip to Lijiang. I missed it because of time. I will take Lijiang as my first stop this time.

2 Lijiang ancient love

Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Area was built by Song Cheng Performing Arts, the first listed performing arts company in China. The scenic spot is 6 kilometers away from Old Town of Lijiang, adjacent to the natural landscape of Wenbihai, echoing Yulong Snow Mountain at a distance, with superior geographical environment. Taking Lijiang ethnic regional culture as the theme, and the large-scale song and dance "Lijiang Ancient Love" as the core content, it shows Lijiang's Millennium culture and historical customs. The scenic spot mainly includes Chama Ancient Street, Nacuohai, Snow Mountain Beach, Ethnic Village, Ancient Love Square, large indoor science and technology amusement complex and many other theme areas.

I can't wait to take out my small plane and take an aerial photograph of the whole park. The scale is still very grand. One day can be spent here, so I started our trip to Lijiang according to the tourist map of the scenic spot.

In the middle of a water area, there are several single-family cabins. I think it should be a hotel.

After entering from the front, the first thing you see is the white tower with local characteristics. The White Pagoda in Tibet has profound symbolic significance and is a prayer tower for Tibetans. The lotus on the stupa symbolizes six thoughts; Taki symbolizes ten good places; The tower steps symbolize four thoughts; The tower is a symbol of mana; The tower bottle symbolizes bodhicitta; The Falun on the undyed lotus symbolizes ten forces and three methods; Guanyin mantra symbolizes the combination of compassion and the 16th CPC National Congress. Tower umbrella and rain eaves symbolize wisdom and sadness; The dripping eaves symbolize the prosperity of the cause; The sun and the moon symbolize two prophets.

On the White Pagoda, Tibetan prayer flags are flying, which is the Wind Horse Banner. Fengmaqi is a unique scenery on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. People in Tibetan areas can see a string of colorful banners printed on cloth with wooden spell images on them. These square, angular and strip-shaped flags are fixed on doorways, ropes, national buildings and branches in an orderly way, swaying between heaven and earth, forming a realm of heaven and earth. Wind horse chess has many religious meanings. It is a form of Tibetan blessing and a high-level work of art.

Here, you can feel the strong Tibetan customs. It's like from the first step you step into here, you've started a journey through it.

Then turn right and pass a distinctive ethnic commercial street, where there are many specialty shops selling special handicrafts. It's worth a visit. If there is a need to buy, you can still bring one or two.

Walking into the main scenic spot along here, the first thing you see is Sanduo Temple, which is the god of war, protector and love of the Naxi people. As the patron saint of this frontier pure land, Sanduo God has been deeply respected by Naxi and other ethnic minorities for thousands of years. Sanduo Temple is dedicated to Sanduo and his two wives, a Bai and a Tibetan. This is an indispensable part of Chama ancient city. The ancient city of Chama includes Lijiang Qianguqing Grand Theatre, Sanduo Temple, Caravan Square, Daizhai Village and Lisu Village. There are many workshops along the way, such as brewing workshop, tofu workshop, flue-cured tobacco workshop, teahouse and blacksmith shop, and song and dance performances showing Lijiang's Millennium cultural and historical customs can be seen everywhere. It's an ancient tea-horse city that travels through time and space. It's alive.

Nazuozhai, this is our Shambhala. Adjacent to Nacuohai, Tibetan blockhouses and wooden houses form a village in the sky between the blue sky, white clouds and grasslands. There are theme areas such as prayer flags square and Sifang street in the village. Cross the flower street where flowers are in full bloom, walk into the mysterious Tibetan village and sit by the warm fireplace of Tibetan people. Enthusiastic Tibetan compatriots will present you with beautiful Hada and sweet butter tea, and let us sing and dance around the bonfire and spend happy hours together.

This is definitely a good place to take pictures. Take a picture here casually, and others will think that you have gone to a Tibetan family without any sense of disobedience. Moreover, the scenery of the whole area is well maintained and feels pure natural.

One of my favorite places is the snow beach. The snowy mountain beach with an area of nearly 10,000 square meters is the highest beach in China and the only beach under snow in China. Enjoy the sunshine, embrace the sea and stroll along the beach! You can sit quietly on the beach with a beloved book, or you can sit on the beach and watch the blue sky and silent clouds. There happened to be a lot of people chatting here when I came, so I took this, a very happy stool.

Wandering around the scenic spot, don't worry about being hungry. Because there are many shops selling local specialty snacks, you can satisfy your taste buds while playing.

At the same time, there is a snack square, where the food is richer and more delicious, and the price is not high. So, when you come here, you don't have to worry about what to eat at all.

Unconsciously came to the Qingming Shanghetu Cinema. Lijiang claims to be a modern version of the Qingming Riverside Map. The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival in Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Area shows you the living picture of Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival. On the nearly 100-meter-long curtain, the dynamic picture scroll slowly unfolds. Nearly a thousand figures with different shapes vividly show the busy grain transportation, noisy markets, quiet houses and the alternation of day and night through the combination of dynamic environments, showing the urban customs of the prosperous Song Dynasty and stepping into the picture one step at a time.

Ancient Haunted House, on the dangerous tea-horse ancient road, many caravan heroes have wandered here, and you can feel the heartbeat here. Warm reminder, don't be timid!

I just experienced a listening room and scared me half to death.

There are also pavilions with visual effects, such as sloping houses, which can produce optical illusions and take strange photos.

The park is a concentrated Yunnan style, showing you the charming Lijiang style step by step.

At the same time, there are many special experience projects in the park, which add a lot of fun while you play.

3 Lijiang Love Song Paradise

Lijiang Paradise is the only amusement park with the highest altitude in China. It is a combination of thrilling super pendulum, jumping up, hurricane flying chair, double-decker luxury spinning horse, rotating cup, extremely fast windmill, wave tumbling, white water rushing, free falling, bumper cars and other recreational and technological projects, and has a number of adventure interactive performances. It is a paradise for adventurous young people to challenge themselves and express their passion.

Have you ever thought about playing big pendulum and jumping machine at an altitude of more than 2400 meters? Come to Lijiang Love Song Paradise now, which can meet your needs of playing. Although the area and scale of this highland amusement park are not as big as Disney's, there are still many rich projects. When you leap into the sky, it seems that the distance from the sky is much closer, and Yulong Snow Mountain is just around the corner!

4 Lijiang Love Song Performance

Lijiang Love Song, a large-scale live performance staged every day, uses water and fire and other technical means, as well as the superb performances of the actors, which depicts the tragic love story of Tibetan boy Aboda and Naxi girl Gajimi for us. Very shocking and unforgettable!

Through the combination of water and fire, and the interpretation of actors who live alone in national costumes, a touching Lijiang love song was interpreted for us. It is also brought into that realm by touching performances to experience touching love in the world.

5 Lijiang Ancient Love Show

Lijiang Grand Theatre is 25 meters high and 500 meters in circumference. The shape design of the theater draws inspiration from Lijiang's love story and Naxi characters. The whole building is dominated by big red, which is particularly eye-catching in the blue sky and white clouds. The architectural symbols of the theater use Naxi hieroglyphics to express a pair of lovers singing and dancing in nature under the gaze of the sun and the moon. It is the largest cultural theme theater in the world at present.

The performance of Lijiang Ancient Love, a large-scale song and dance, combines dance, music, acrobatics, martial arts, sitcom and other artistic forms with unique cultural presentation, high-tech means and the most advanced stage machinery and equipment, and explains the life praise of Naxi Genesis, the romantic feelings of Lugu Lake's daughter country, the splendid prosperity and harmony of wooden houses, the thrilling legend of caravan, the life of Yulong's third country, and the feelings and mentality of a flower and a paradise.

Lijiang's ancient love, a performance that must be seen in a lifetime, leads the audience to cross the snow-capped mountains, meet in the vast and primitive wilderness, feel the beautiful moments in the Mosuo flower house beside Lugu Lake, in the ancient tea-horse road wrapped in wind and rain, in the magnificent shogunate, in the romantic and sad Yulong third country, and in the Xanadu-like Shambhala, and let you feel the journey through the Millennium.

The performance is divided into preface, one, two, three, four acts and ending, leaving many ways to interpret the eternal charm of Lijiang.

The Origin of Naxi Nationality is an ancient and wise nationality, which created a splendid Dongba civilization in a difficult living environment. Let's go through the Millennium to explore the eternal proposition of cultural anthropology, "Where do we come from and where are we going?"

Scene 1: Lugu Lake Daughter Country The quiet and beautiful Lugu Lake, the ancient and mysterious daughter country, is a dreamy paradise on earth. The Mosuo people living here are a branch of Naxi nationality and the only ethnic group in the world that retains matriarchal clan relations. So far, the custom of "divorce" is still continuing.

The beautiful scene shows the love story of Naxi nationality, which is fresh and refined, and gives you the bud of love.

Scene 3: Legend of caravan Lijiang is famous for its ancient tea-horse road. In a sense, the glory of Lijiang is the glory of horseshoe; For thousands of years, on the rugged ancient tea-horse road, the life movement of the caravan was earth-shattering and sobbing; On this day, the caravan shouldering the transportation task of the imperial court and the shogunate set off again!

Deduct the legendary story of caravan. This scene is particularly shocking. The combination of sound and photoelectric technology makes you feel immersive.

Act II: The glory of Mufu Lijiang is prosperous because of the tea-horse exchange. During the 47 1 year when Mufu ruled Lijiang, it was good-neighborly and friendly with neighboring nationalities, Myanmar, Nepal, India and other countries, so Lijiang became the economic and cultural hub of the southwest of the motherland. In A.D. 1382, the central government of the Ming Dynasty named Lijiang Tusi Mu in recognition of his patriotism and hard work. When the news came, friendly neighbors of all ethnic groups came to congratulate!

Scene 4: The Naxi people in the third country of Yulong are a people who advocate freedom of love. From the initial marriage system to "parents' orders and matchmakers' words", they paid a heavy price for love.

Conclusion: Looking for the changes of the four seasons in Shambhala, we come from history. The snow-capped mountains are still there, and the ancient city is like a song. Every year, millions of tourists gather in the "Lijiang Ancient Love" scenic spot to experience this lively ancient city of tea and horses and feel the ten thousand customs of Lijiang's "one flower and one heaven"!

The park under the night is another scene against the lights, with more colorful and unique charm. The daytime is unparalleled, a good choice for taking pictures.

In addition to the performances of Ancient Love, Lijiang Love Song and Lijiang Paradise, Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Area has ten theme performances in the park every day, allowing visitors to feel different Lijiang customs at close range. There is also an audience interaction session, which allows tourists to participate and adds a lot of interactivity.

6 Baisha ancient town

On the second day of my trip to Lijiang, I wanted to find the oldest and most delicious place in Lijiang.

Now when people talk about Lijiang, the first word that comes to mind is "romantic city". I don't know when it started. Is Lijiang really like this?

My trip to Lijiang is to explore the different taste of Lijiang. So, I avoided Dayan Ancient Town, the hottest town in Lijiang, and tried to find a place with a real taste of Lijiang.

The first candidate ancient town is Shuhe ancient town, 8 kilometers away from Dayan ancient town. It is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi ancestors in Lijiang Bazi and an important well-preserved market town on the ancient tea-horse road. However, since June this year, tickets have been collected here. It has become very commercialized here. Finally, I decided to give up here.

After several selections, I finally decided on the destination of this trip-Baisha Ancient Town.

Baisha ancient town is not very famous, and many people who come to Lijiang don't know this place. So it's not a place where many tour groups come. It is quieter here.

In fact, it is not far from Dayan ancient town, 10 km, and there are buses in the urban area that can go directly. The traffic is still very convenient.

In fact, it has a long history. It borders Yulong Snow Mountain in the north, Longquan in the south and West, and is the birthplace of the Mu Tusi family. Baisha is the ancient capital of Naxi nationality. It was once the political, economic, commercial and cultural center of Lijiang. As the birthplace of the Mu family, the Mu family has accumulated experience in planning towns in Baisha.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, when Nanzhao King named Yulong Snow Mountain "Beiyue", Mu's ancestors (then Lijiang King) began to build Baisha Street and Beiyue Temple here. Baisha, the ancient capital of Naxi nationality, was once the political, economic, commercial and cultural center of Lijiang. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, from 65438 to 0383 in the early Ming Dynasty, the Mu family moved to the location of Mufu in Dayan Town today.

When I came here, I found that there are also many small shops with distinctive features and emotional appeal, but compared with the bustling crowd in Dayan ancient town, there are fewer people on the streets here. Besides, we can see many local people selling vegetables and so on. When they walked here, they unconsciously walked into the lives of local people.

Walking on the streets of the ancient town, looking at mottled tiles and washed earth walls many times, it feels warmer than the brand-new commercial street.

Just south of Sifang Street, there is a two-story archway with the plaque "Baisha, the capital of Naxi ancient kingdom, the world cultural heritage". Just south of the archway is a peaceful and peaceful Naxi homeland. /kloc-for more than 0/000 years, Naxi people have been ploughing in spring and harvesting in autumn, and hiding in winter, leading an uncontested life. Today, when you walk around the village, you will feel that time seems to have stopped flowing, the sky is so blue, the snow-capped mountains are so majestic, the dogs on the street are so lazy and carefree, and the whole ancient town is as simple and peaceful as the Naxi old people.

There is also a "Sifang Street" in Baisha Ancient Town, where you can vaguely see the prototype of Sifang Street in Dayan Ancient Town. The center of the ancient town will be built into a commercial trading center, named Sifang Street, which means "extending in all directions and having warrants everywhere". Sifang street in Baisha ancient town was established very early, so it is not as perfect and perfect as Shuhe ancient town and Dayan ancient town in Lijiang. At present, Sifang Street is the main place where local grandmothers sell vegetables. Authentic dishes and grandmothers wearing traditional Naxi costumes are a landscape on Sifang Street.

Baisha mural is a very famous scenic spot here, and it is also the only charging item. Tickets for 30 yuan are available.

"White Sand Mural" is the product of Naxi society's opening to the outside world in Ming Dynasty, and its painting lasted for more than 300 years from the early Ming Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty. The late Ming and early Qing dynasties were the heyday of Lijiang murals, which has a history of 500 years.

The existing Ming Dynasty murals of Baisha Glass Hall, Dabaoji Palace and Dading Pavilion are extremely precious cultural relics. The Dabaoji Palace mural is the largest mural in Lijiang, painted in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with the word 12, 167. The content is religious, but what is special is that in the same mural, there are not only Buddha statues of Buddhism and Taoism, but also Buddha statues of Lamaism. This kind of painting style that combines various sects is very rare.

7 Eat in Lijiang

Lijiang's food is also a highlight. Lijiang Baba, chicken jelly and other special snacks are worth tasting, as well as Yunnan special foods such as flower cakes, which can also be bought here. For foodies, it is worthwhile to come here.

If you come here, you might as well try the local specialty snack bar.

Live in Lijiang

Living in Lijiang, when you talk about Lijiang, you have to mention the characteristic homestay here. Don't stay in high-end hotels or hotel chains when you come to Lijiang. You must choose a distinctive homestay. Only in this way can we have the style of Lijiang.

You can really appreciate the different beauty of Lijiang and let you feel the life in Lijiang. There are many choices in homestays. There are many choices in and around the ancient city to avoid advertising suspicion. It is not recommended here. You can choose according to your own needs. The picture shows a special homestay I stayed in this trip.

Write it at the end

The beauty of Lijiang is worth your coming again. The convenient transportation by plane makes Lijiang no longer far away. For people living in neighboring provinces, it has become a new choice to spend a pleasant weekend trip here.

I look forward to coming to charming Lijiang next time, and discovering more Lijiang stories and more beautiful scenery.
