Why do you say I am just a "reader" in Lijiang?

For many people, the name Lijiang has long been familiar. It is the name of the city of romantic encounters or the reputation of picturesque scenery. Regarding the origin of this place, "History and Geography of the Yuan Dynasty" says: "The road is named after the river." ?That is to say, the origin of the place name "Lijiang" originated from the nickname "Lishui" of Jinsha River. The Lijiang described by American Locke seems to be a paradise, which is fascinating. The ancient city, the gray tiles, the ten-mile scenery, and the blue sky. A series of words strung together came to mind, telling me that I must go there to find it. This simple city soaked in time, the snow of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain seems to be always covered with a mysterious veil. Perhaps it is too fond of this pure character that is far away from the hustle and bustle, restrained and low-key. Although such beautiful scenery has attracted criticism, it has also attracted batches of tourists from home and abroad, from all over the world and from different walks of life, and I am one of them.

Meet Lijiang for the first time? The night sky in the ancient city is fragrant with tea and wine, and tourists are like a horse racing gang.

I came to Lijiang because I was studying in Lijiang. The ancients said that there is no better way to see the night view of the ancient city than to climb high. On the first night, I came to the foot of the Lion Mountain and climbed up to the Wangu Tower to see the night view of the ancient city of Lijiang. Standing on such a commanding height, I leaned on the railing and looked out into the night. The ancient city is dimly lit and majestic. When I walked to Sifang Street, I found that the solemnity of the night did not add much tranquility to the ancient city. Instead, as night fell, the bars, shops, and tourists came and went, making it very lively.

In front of the bar, a band was performing, familiar folk songs and hoarse singing. Walking through the alleys of the ancient city, the lights illuminate the five-flowered stone road, which seems to tell the history of this place.

Finding a place to stay is always important. I have booked an inn in advance in Guanyuan Lane, Guangyi Street, because the inn is close to Sifang Street, the center of the ancient city, and the location is better. It is quiet in the bustle. , convenient transportation. The four words "Nuan Xiaozhu" are engraved on the wooden lintel at the entrance of the inn. Flowers and plants are planted on both sides of the door. When I walked into the courtyard, the warm greeting from the landlady made me feel the warmth of the inn. This is a typical Naxi courtyard with three rooms. As soon as I looked at the wall, the courtyard was full of flowers and plants, and green vines hung down from the upstairs. It was full of life. I walked up the stairs and came to my room. The layout was warm and decorated, and the facilities were complete. I put down my luggage and spent my time in the warm house. The first night in Lijiang.

Good weather in Lijiang? White clouds are flying on the Jade Dragon Snow Peak, and the Blue Moon Lake is as green as emeralds

The sky here is so blue that people feel comfortable, and the clouds are white and floating leisurely in the sky. In the sky, it seemed that the blue sky and white clouds in Lijiang were so lazy and comfortable. I also became lazy. I set out for Jade Dragon Snow Mountain early in the morning and was almost late. On the highway, the car was moving forward and the scenery was behind me. I accidentally... I missed the beautiful scenery and arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountains around nine o'clock. First I came to the Blue Moon Valley, where the lake reflected the snow-capped mountains, the snow-capped mountains in the distance, the lake nearby, and the scenery of the lakes and mountains. I think of the mysterious kingdom described by Locke, which is the beautiful and majestic area at the foot of the snow-capped mountains and connected to the Blue Moon Valley.

To go up to the snow mountain, you need to take a cable car. The cable car starts off smoothly and you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from the cable car. On the slope below, there are tall and tall green trees and lush greenery. A piece of green surrounds the majestic Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is spectacular and beautiful. We looked down from the cable car. The canyon was so deep that we were amazed by the beautiful scenery. On the mountain, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is winding and rugged, with many peaks and mountains. The pure white snow is like the white jade belt of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Wearing bright red winter clothes, I looked at Lijiang from the observation deck and was filled with emotion.

I have to mention Lashihai and the horse farm near it. Rowing on the beautiful Lashihai to enjoy the scenery, and then riding a horse and whipping the whip, the wonderful combination of water and land makes people happy. Go and feel the happy time that nature gives us.

The time in Lijiang was very dazzling, because it rained heavily, because the sun was shining, because the weather was just right, every day was beautiful. It seems that the red soil of Yunnan is the hometown in my dreams.

How fragrant is Lijiang? Tens of thousands of camellias cover half of the mountain, and there are thousands of green trees and thirteen peaks.

Flowers bloom all year round. Spring is coming in March, everything is coming back to life, and the farmland on the roadside is gradually turning green. I also went to Yufeng Temple a while ago to see the famous camellias. The provincial flower of Yunnan Province is camellia, and Yufeng Temple, known as the King of Camellia, is located at the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. It belongs to a lamasery and has a typical Tibetan thangka style. This plant in Yufeng Temple? King of Camellia? It was planted in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 500 years. Tea trees were first planted and then Yufeng Temple was built, so Yufeng Temple is famous all over the world. From then on, this beautiful camellia became Yufeng Temple, and Yufeng Temple became famous because of camellia.

Camellia comes in red and white, and can be used as an ornamental or as a medicine. Most sages from ancient times and modern times praise the four gentlemen: chrysanthemum, bamboo, orchid and plum. There are also some who only love the lotus, which emerges from the mud and remains unstained. I think this reclusive gentleman must be a camellia, deep in the mountains. Retirement and blooming, noble and fragrant, are also worthy of praise.

Lijiang has a strong fragrance? Food is the life of the people

The unique conditions here have also given birth to countless delicacies. Salmon nourished by snow water is one of them. Thin fish fillets dipped in With the special juice, the smoothness in the mouth is not broken by the richness of the water, and it is full of fragrance. Salmon is one of the three dishes of the Naxi people in Lijiang. The black goat hot pot and cured pork ribs hot pot are also famous for their delicacies. The black goat has minimal smell and the meat is fresh and tender. Braised black goat is my favorite dish. Cured pork ribs are all over Lijiang. In the streets and alleys, this kind of broth is served with vegetables. It is a delicious enjoyment in the spring when it is not very warm.

During the Chinese New Year in Lijiang, my friends and I were lucky enough to experience Lijiang’s customs? Pig butchers, you must bring gifts of oil, wine, and drinks when you go to the house to be a pig butcher. This is a custom for the host. Families usually kill one or two pigs to entertain guests that day. When they eat pork, they usually roast it. After the barbecue, they have dinner. It is very delicious. The roasted pork smells delicious. It is all natural and raised by the family, even the lean meat. It can produce oil when grilled. You can tell how fragrant the meat is and how refreshing it is.
