What gift did you bring back when you traveled in Yunnan?

On the last day I left Yunnan, I always inadvertently lamented that those beautiful scenery and flowers could not be taken away, so I searched everywhere for all kinds of specialties that I could bring home as gifts.

My concept of accompanying gifts varies from person to person, which is your mind. So share some gifts that I think can be used as a companion gift, or it can be a specialty that is easy to buy in Dali, Lijiang, Yunnan.

Naxi people in Lijiang and Bai people in Yunnan are reluctant to part with silver ornaments, among which silver ornaments are the most popular among local ethnic minorities.

Naxi people in Lijiang believe that silver has the function of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding ghosts. They often dress their children with silver ornaments when they are very young, and many silverware can be worn when they grow up. Among them, the most precious is snowflake silver, which is high in purity, edible and healthy.

Bai people in Dali also love silverware from a few months to the age of 80 or 90. They all have a string of silver bracelets on their hands, some from their lovers and some from their elders. They believe that girls wearing silver ornaments can drive away moisture in their bodies, and it is also beneficial for local people to distinguish toxic and non-toxic mushrooms in the mountains.

The local people in Yunnan like silverware to an exaggerated extent. Jewelry should wear silver chains and bracelets, eat with silver bowls and chopsticks, and drink with silver cups and pots. The workmanship is fine and the patterns are exquisite, which is refreshing.

Many tourists often buy some local silver ornaments to take away when they come, but there are always scams in tourist areas, and there are also many shops that fake pure silver to cheat tourists.

I asked two tour guides in Lijiang and Dali respectively, and introduced two reliable shops, one is Baisuifang and the other is Cunsi Drinking Village. Because these two stores have branches all over Yunnan, they do not involve interests and should be more reliable.

I haven't been to Baisuifang, but Cunsiyin Village was recommended by Dali tour guide. At that time, she was holding a four-inch water cup in her hand, which was extremely exquisite. Unfortunately, it was really expensive at that time, charging 980.

When I went shopping, I found that their jewelry was exquisite, especially bracelets, with exquisite workmanship and beautiful patterns. I bought one for my mother. 1g means 19.8, which is expensive, but it is said that 99.9% of his family is silver. Bought a bracelet of about 30g, and checked out 607.

By the way, you can ask the clerk to give you a small gift (usually a tremella spoon and a silver toothpick). You can also carve words on the bracelet.

A friend of mine bought earrings and a century-old lock for the baby, which is also very nice. You can take your time if you are interested. Generally there are many branches in the same area, so don't worry too much. You can compare styles.

If you send a girlfriend or mother, you can give priority to bracelets and earrings, which are particularly beautiful and different from the explosions that are often seen in the market.

If you send a boyfriend or dad, you can consider sending a silver cup. It seems that apart from being expensive, there are really no shortcomings. One can be used for many years, which is good for health ~

You can send a hundred life locks or earring anklets to your baby ~

The Naxi people living in Lijiang have their own unique culture, among which Dongba culture is the core focus.

Walking in Lijiang, you can see a distinctive shop called Dongba Paper Workshop, which sells many paper lamps and paper products. It is said to be made of local native wood and traditional crafts. Shopkeepers usually invite people who have research on local Dongba culture.

The appearance is very recognizable, and you can see at a glance that it is a tasteful shop.

The most distinctive and suitable gift is the paper lamp in the shop, which can be opened and closed freely. Like a real book, it can glow when connected to the power supply ~

There are several models, large, medium and small. A friend bought a medium-sized picture at the price of 160. Between you and me, a treasure costs 200+ er ~

There are also different styles. The flowers and leaves in the lamp are fresh, and have formed different styles according to the different storage time and varieties. The most cost-effective is a paper lamp treasured by the boss. The petals are still bright red. It is said that it will change from bright red to brownish yellow if it is kept for a long time, and it will turn yellow if it is kept for a long time. Everything has a unique taste.

You can also invite your boss to give you an inscription and write a blessing in Dongba. Generally, it is "happiness" and "I wish you happiness". When I went there that day, my boss recommended a very interesting greeting to share with you:

"One meter of sunshine", I thought it was an ordinary literary film title before I heard the name, only to know that it came from a local story.

Legend has it that a pair of young people were particularly in love, and the woman was particularly beautiful, which aroused the envy of a fairy in the sky. They tried their best to break them up, but they all failed in the end. The loving man and woman moved to heaven. After their death, they became immortals in the sky, specializing in human love. They shed sunlight on the earth and promised that as long as the sun shines, everyone can get happiness. But the fairy kept blocking the sun with the clouds in the sky, so the two lovers struggled to open the clouds by one meter. From then on, people who are exposed to this meter of sunshine will get lifelong happiness and God's blessing.

Tip: This paper lamp does not contain light bulbs, so you should buy it yourself. You can ask the boss to send some label paper. It's more emotional to write greetings on the same material.

Girls who can cook are very concerned about the wild mushrooms in Yunnan, which is a famous local specialty and a good thing to send home to make soup for their mothers.

Yunnan is rich in wild mushrooms, many of which are even more precious than gold and silver. Whether it is a small market or a big shopping mall, there are people who specialize in selling mushrooms. Good wild mushrooms are delicious and rare, especially fresh ones.

At that time, when I was visiting the market, the tour guide told me that if I saw a mushroom seller, I could watch and ask, but I must not touch it casually, or I might lose a lot of money if I accidentally broke the fresh mushrooms. I also want to remind you here.

He Caitou recommended the most famous termites in Yunnan on WeChat, and Mr. Wang Zengqi also mentioned various mushrooms in Yunnan in his article.

Fresh mushrooms are not suitable for taking away. You can usually buy bagged mushrooms or mushroom sauce dried by local people.

It is almost unreasonable to travel to Yunnan without some flower cakes.

Anyone who has been to Old Town of Lijiang has seen the flower cake shop in South Street. Whether it's a big store or a small store, freshly baked flower cakes will give off fragrance every hour to attract guests.

The famous local flower cakes are Jiahua and Pan Jixiang. Jiahua costs about four or five yuan each, and Pan costs two or three yuan each. They all taste the same.

In fact, if you have time, you can visit the alleys of the ancient city and taste the flower cakes in different shops. Some shops are not famous, but their tastes are amazing.

As for flower cakes, you will find that many stores sell them for one yuan, three yuan or four yuan. What is the difference? I asked several shopkeepers to know that there is really a big difference.

The one-dollar flower cake is made of dried petals and contains white sugar; Three or four yuan a flower cake is made of fresh petals, and the sweetness comes from honey.

Try it yourself when you have time and choose your favorite taste ~

There are usually activities to buy and send several boxes, which can be taken on the plane or mailed ~

There is a kind of fat beef jerky in Old Town of Lijiang. The local beauty is fat and black. Girls call it fat beef jerky. It's delicious, but it's a little expensive, one or two is nearly twenty yuan. It is said to be yak meat, but the local tour guide said that there is no yak in Lijiang. Therefore, it's good to see that yak meat all over the street is ordinary beef, and you don't have to buy it too expensive.

There is also a shop called Gouhun, which sells delicious snacks such as Sichuan spicy diced chicken and pork crisp bones. The price is not expensive, more than ten yuan a bag. I found it delicious when I came back, but there is no Taobao shop in his house, so I can buy more at once if I like it ~

It's been more than a month since Yunnan and his party, but it seems like yesterday, and I look forward to meeting Yunnan again next time. I met my little brother who sings very well in Lijiang. I'll send you a photo. Hey, have a nice trip to Yunnan, don't worry about gifts ~
