September Lijiang Travel Guide and Precautions 20 17

Lijiang is an ancient town full of humanistic atmosphere and special historical elements. Now it perfectly preserves a large number of ancient buildings, and now it has become the most famous tourist town in China, attracting tourists from all over the world every year. Let's share with you the travel strategies and precautions of Lijiang from 2065438 to September 2007.

When they arrived, they came to Lijiang to find a leisurely life, saying that time here is slower than elsewhere.

Lijiang airport is light and windy.

Third time in Lijiang, first direct flight. The sky is still so blue, the clouds are still so close, the air is clear and there is no smog, and nothing seems to have changed.

Adapting to the bright plateau sunshine at six o'clock in the afternoon, the car drove all the way towards Shuhe ancient town, and my thoughts gradually drifted away.

Unconsciously, Lijiang has become a symbol, synonymous with "slow life", with the stunt of "finding an affair".

In any case, this once small town is now an internationally famous tourist city. During the peak season, tourists come to Lijiang to find a leisurely life, saying that time here is slower than elsewhere.

Accommodation recommended to stay in Banyan Tree Shuhe this time, and soon pass through the slightly crowded Dayan City to reach the destination. Introduction is a beautiful scenery. After living for three days, all aspects of software and hardware really live up to their reputation.

There is a landscape when you get started.

The unique location can make use of this traditional landscaping method in China.

The large pieces of color in the room are very beautiful.

The traffic guide is considering a leisure tour this time. I just want to visit two ancient cities without arranging too many trips. Two activities were mainly arranged. One was to go to Yulong Snow Mountain again to make up for the regret that Maruko failed to reach the summit last time, and to see the Blue Moon Valley by the way. One is to watch a "Lijiang Ancient Love" which is said to have amazing stage effect.

Go to the Blue Moon Valley first.

Maybe it's because it's not the rainy season. Milk blue is still nice, but it doesn't seem as full as last time.

I went to Yulong in the afternoon, and the sun was shining at the foot of the mountain. Look at some clouds on the top of the mountain.

Snow-covered mountains

Unexpectedly, after climbing the mountain, I met the biggest snow in my life, which made us two tourists from the south have a good time. Of course, the plan to reach the summit fell through again.

It snows heavily.

Sound and light effects, three-dimensional stage and a group of professional and dedicated actors presented a real performance feast. If you have time, it's worth seeing. In contrast, the acrobatic performances outside before the opening ceremony were a little amateur.

Shuhe is the most visited place because it is close to the hotel. Because it is the off-season, there are few tourists, and sometimes there are only two of us in a street.

empty street

In Lijiang in the past two years, it is said that Shuhe River is relatively low in commercialization and relatively original.

This time, it seems to be developed. Everywhere you look, there are the same shops, the same goods, and the same music is played on every street over and over again. ...

After walking a few blocks, the word that comes to mind is "small commodity market", and there is no desire to go shopping at all.

Although it's boring.

I bought some flower cakes and dried yak meat and went home.

Food recommendations include grilled fish, grouper, ribs, rice noodles and so on. They are all local characteristics, and now they seem to be eaten everywhere, and the food as a tourist destination is often improved, so most of them are useless.

What impressed me even more was that the next night, I found a Tibetan food in Shuhe ancient town.

In the off-season, there are only two tables in the store. Ordered yak hot pot and pie, with the boss's own secret dip, unique flavor. I want to order butter tea, but the boss says we can't finish it. One more thing at the last table, the boss gave us two cups directly, which were delicious.

It has been three years since the boss came from Tibet to open a shop. Every few minutes, he would come and ask, "Did you eat well?" And "Did you eat well?" This makes us very embarrassed.

Just chatting, I just opened a shop in the peak season, which is full every day, mostly from Shanghai and Guangdong. After two months, suddenly no one came. At first, I was still playing drums in my heart. Is it because I didn't eat well? Later, I learned that it was off-season. Although the boss is a standard Tibetan man in appearance, it feels really simple and lovely to talk about this paragraph.

After eating, he sent us out and repeatedly told us to walk carefully in the dark. After leaving, it's a pity that I didn't take a group photo, but meeting by chance doesn't need to be persistent, and it feels more like a trip.

Tuogang Tibetan food, if there are friends who go, you can consider going.

On the day he left, he went to Tian Deneng Coffee Memorial Hall to commemorate the missionary who introduced coffee to Yunnan and even China. The aroma of the iron pot gradually diffuses and the entrance is really sour. For those of us who don't know much about coffee, it doesn't matter whether it's good or bad, it's more an experience.

On a cloudy day after the rain, there are no flowers in the courtyard, which is quite the artistic conception of "drinking the fifth". It's a pity that a phone call and a WeChat will return to work, and the heart can't be quiet and the ground can't be biased. Everything you cannot live without is a cage.

I don't know when I will come to Lijiang next time, and whether I will come again.

We are looking for the ideal life in our hearts, and now people call it "poetry and distance"-there are bridges, pastoral songs and long time to kill.

However, when I look at Lijiang now, I can't help wondering whether our pursuit has turned Peach Blossom Garden into a "westworld"-style casino.

Perhaps the real natural life itself has nothing to do with exquisiteness, leisure and immortality. It should be rough and smoky, so it is vivid, energetic and worthy of love.

Life can't give you an "ideal look", you have to live your life as an ideal. However, in order to cater to the market, businessmen packaged the "ideal life" into commodities and put them on the shelves. Even if it is "lifelike", it will eventually die.

Those once beautiful memories slowly dried up in the words of ice.
