So, here I am.
This is a late trip that the university failed to realize, but fortunately, the same person is still around. There are 7 days before and after the trip and honeymoon, and the actual trip is 5 days and 4 nights.
After the visit, many friends asked related questions. After classification and induction, I made a simple answer, and with some small feelings, I separated it and wrote it in Fortunately, I met it, I was impartial-Reflections on Tourism. If you are not interested, please slide down and watch the Raiders ~
It's a pity that I didn't finish the Lijiang Raiders. After I came back, my mood changed a little, and many feelings could not be expressed. But it doesn't matter. After all, the words are pale. If you happen to see this strategy, you must go for a walk yourself.
Dali is known as "wind, flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon", and "a water around Cangshan, Cangshan embraces the ancient city" is the best interpretation of Dali's unique layout.
I have been to many cities, but the landscape of mountains and seas in the same picture is rare. The endless road is like a clear dividing line, with towering lush mountains on the left and endless sparkling sea on the right. Only when I am in it can I understand my smallness.
When I landed in Dali, it was already past 7 pm, and the outdoor temperature was 10 degrees. Dali itself is over 2000 meters above sea level. Although the four seasons are like spring, the weather at high altitude changes instantly, with rain and sunshine, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Some people say that "a rain turns into autumn",/kloc-people who are already cold for 0/0 months are shivering.
On the first day, we were full of energy and chose Cangshan, which was difficult. Unfortunately, the weather was not very friendly, and the storm on the mountain once hindered our climbing progress.
I bought a package ticket for two on the Meituan one day in advance. 200 yuan includes the shuttle bus from Dali ancient city to Cangshan and Gantong cableway on Cangshan (there are also two cableways, namely Shangguanhua cableway and Ximatan cableway, the former can reach Tianlong Cavern, and the latter is the longest cableway with different charges).
After arriving at Cangshan, take the cable car up the mountain, the top of which is about 2600 meters. After getting off the cable car, you can follow the signs to Linglong Chess Academy, then follow the stream all the way up to Qingbi Stream and finally to the observation deck. It was raining that day and the mountain road was slippery. It's a pity that Cangshan Grand Canyon can't see the proper landscape.
The majesty of Cangshan Mountain is indescribable, and only when you are really in it will you be deeply impressed. Before I came to Dali, the cloud was a distant place where I couldn't play with it, but on Cangshan Mountain, the cloud was within reach, and one after another fell beside me.
Many stories I heard before I came to Dali were about the city's clouds. The most famous is "Wang Mi Yun": Princess Nanzhao eloped with the hunter and was taken back by the master luoquan sent by King Nanzhao. In order to force the hunter to appear, Cangshan was covered with snow, and the hunter was driven into Erhai Lake to become a snail. Because the princess couldn't wait for her sweetheart, she jumped off the cliff and turned into a cloud on the horizon.
From then on, whenever Wang Fuyun appeared, Erhai Lake was hit by a hurricane, blowing the sea away, and now the stone mules in the sea echoed in the distance. The snow on the top of Cangshan Mountain, as if to confirm the legend, lasted for a long time, but the rain and fog often lingered on the mountain, which made people feel sad.
It rained harder and harder, and we soon went down the mountain. If the weather is sunny and you have enough time and energy, you can spend more time walking along Dai Yu Road, walking into the heart of Cangshan Mountain in fantasy and reality, and waiting for the wind to open in the misty clouds, so that your thoughts and vision will be inadvertently on a pattern.
The latest time for the cable car to go downhill is 4:30. Before that, we must go back to the foot of the mountain. We went up the mountain early, and in order to avoid a heavy rain, we returned to the foot of the mountain at noon. After a short rest, we walked up the mountain to the other side, leading to the silent photo temple, the most beautiful temple, and Gantong Temple. My road was tortuous, through a sheltered valley and branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat.
Along the road, local residents will drive to the Silent Photo Temple, each 10 yuan. I suggest you don't have to sit, it's not far and the road is relatively flat. You can walk all the way up, first go to Silent Photo Temple, and pass by Gantong Temple when you go down the mountain.
Silent Photo Temple lives up to her fame. The gate looks ordinary, but it's a different world when you walk in. It's no exaggeration to describe it as a world of flowers and flowers. Between the misty rain, bloom was quiet, and the fleshy mountains and plains made tourists entering buddhist nun tacitly lower their voices, for fear of disturbing the peace here.
It's raining, shh, don't worry, sit down, steal a lot of time, close your eyes and listen to the sound of raindrops exploding on the leaves. Everything you can see is a lingering picture.
There is vegetarian food in 20 yuan in Silent Photo Temple. You can sit down and drink tea for free, or sit around the fire and talk about each other's stories. Here, time is like sand that breaks the funnel, but it has passed quietly for a long time.
My husband and I sat on the wooden stool in front of buddhist nun for a while. In front of my eyes are raindrops dripping along the eaves, and there is a sleeping cat next to me, who doesn't want to go, don't want to go, and don't want to go. Mr. Wang whispered in his ear that all his fantasies about our life after retirement seemed to have been seen in advance.
Going down the mountain to Gantong Temple, the rain is really heavy. There were no other tourists, and we didn't stay long. We entered the temple and came out. Compared with the silent photo temple, there are not many wonderful places in Gantong Temple. Very quiet. Don't bother, just pass by.
After Cangshan came down, I went back to Dali ancient city by car. It's still early I went back to the hotel and had a rest. Later, I made a card at the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple and returned to the ancient city of Dali.
You need to buy extra tickets to enter the three towers of Chongsheng Temple. If you just want to have a panoramic view, you don't need to buy a ticket, and you can see the three towers from a distance. On the other side of the Three Pagodas, there is also a park dedicated to seeing the reflection of the Three Pagodas, which is also a good viewing angle. Those who believe in Buddhism or want to see the three-tower structure can buy tickets, about 100 yuan/person.
Walk to the Three Pagodas, which is very close to the ancient city of Dali. You can also see the buildings of the Bai nationality along the way, echoing the names of the nationalities. White walls on all sides, many marble heads, considered to be local materials. The white wall is decorated with blue and white porcelain, but the gate of the white building can't go straight to the courtyard, so it must be opened in the southeast corner. Therefore, most of the floor-to-ceiling windows are set for lighting, simple and simple, which is completely different from the celebration style of Chinese architecture in our impression.
The ancient city of Dali is similar to the three lanes and seven lanes in Fuzhou, with bluestone paths, eating and drinking. It is not too late for us to go now. The bar street has not yet opened, and a few resident singers in the bar have opened their voices to attract passers-by.
Yunnan has always been nicknamed "the city of romance", but unfortunately, there are lovers around, so I can't experience a real encounter, so I can only send my feelings to food. In fact, there are not many authentic snacks in Dali ancient town, and most of them are foreign brands. The whole ancient city is small, and there are only a few main roads back and forth, which can be worn in a short time.
You must eat authentic rice noodles when you come to Yunnan. The local bait tastes good, too The rice noodles are smooth and elastic, and the bait is flexible and fragrant. I ordered the most special pork rice noodles. The taste of pork is very special, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes.
There is nothing I like better than the roast milk fan, which is named after its appearance resembling a fan. It is a dairy product, which can be eaten dry, fried or fried. I like frying and baking best. A bite will make you feel like eating cheese, and the milky smell is addictive.
Wuhua Building in the ancient city can be climbed up, but Dali has no night view and is dark. Not as amazing as the ancient city building in the distance. There is an introduction to Dali historical materials downstairs of Wuhua Building, so you can learn more about it.
Historically, Duan once established Dali Kingdom in Xizhou, and Duan Yu, a famous city in Tianlong Babu, was also the king of Dali Kingdom. However, the ancient city did not have a strong historical flavor, because Kublai Khan captured Dali Kingdom in the Yuan Dynasty and vigorously promoted Chinese, and Zhu Yuanzhang burned books in Dali Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty to consolidate the political power, which led to the near collapse of the white script, leaving only some Chinese-English translation.
Taking history as a mirror, although 10,000 years have passed, outstanding heroes are still being commented. The vicissitudes of life, the scars gradually forgotten by the city, at least every stone under your feet is a witness, which is the charm of the ancient city.
Back in Dali, the first day was over.
The 2270-yuan package includes a cruise ship and two small islands. Dali declared that "facing the sea, bloom is warm in spring" is hidden in today's itinerary.
The magic of Erhai Lake lies in telling you that time is worth wasting. You can be in a daze or think, and all the happy or sad stories will be gently smoothed away, forgetting the daily necessities and leaving only beautiful promises.
Get up early and go for a walk in Erhai Park. The lake is the reflection of the sky. Two people sat silently in Haixinge, watching time stop, at this most beautiful moment. This is actually not a scenic spot, but a small park for local residents to relax, near Dali Port, because it is so beautiful, I caught it in my travel notes.
The cruise ship departs from Dali Port Pier at 9:00, stops at Xiaoputuo Island and Nanzhao Fengqing Island, returns to Taohuayuan Pier at 13:00, buys a bus ticket at Taohuayuan Pier (15 yuan/person), and returns to Dali Port Pier at 15:00.
Although I spent most of my time on cruise ships, I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Erhai Lake is actually a big lake formed by plateau landform. Although it is called the sea, it is actually a lake, so the wind in Erhai Lake is different from the real sea breeze. It is not sticky or impetuous, like a well-behaved child, and it is comfortable to blow for as long as it takes.
Three tea performances will be provided on the cruise ship, which is the highest courtesy for the Bai people to receive guests. After all, it's just a performance to kill time. Don't expect too much. If there are many people, you can pack a karaoke box in 400 yuan, and the top floor of the cruise ship provides the shooting of the glass ball of the mirror of the sky, ranging from 100-300 yuan, and you can also rent a red skirt.
Three teas with white tea is also one of the local characteristics, namely "bitter tea", "sweet tea" and "aftertaste tea", which means three realms of life, first bitter and then sweet, and finally aftertaste. Tasting tea is not as good as tasting life. Bai people pay attention to "wine is full of respect, tea is full of deceit", and each cup of tea is only half a cup, mainly for wine tasting. Tea lovers can go to Xizhou Ancient Town to find authentic three tea and have a good taste.
The cruise ship will call at two small islands. The first small Putuo Island suggested not to go down. Hard core attractions are all seen on cruise ships. They all sell things. They are so crowded that they can't see anything. People are flocking to the island, so it is better to take a photo on the top floor of the cruise ship.
Nanzhao Fengqing Island has a long stay, and online celebrity Square, a common punch card, is on it, only staying for 50 minutes, but walking around the island is also very fast. Because the time to return to the ship is limited, girls who want to punch in must get your photographer ready, adjust the aperture and angle when waiting in line, and press the shutter when it's your turn, otherwise they will be condemned by countless people behind.
Although there are eight scenic spots in Nanzhao Fengqing Island, most of them are sculptures and squares, so there are not many places to play when consuming energy. However, the cruising time is limited, and it is still a bit urgent. If time permits, I feel more comfortable living on the island.
On the way back from Taohua Port to Dali Port, the bus will stop to have a rest, during which you can buy a special Xizhou Baba and one from 5 yuan.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when I returned to Dali Port, and I went to eat Yongping braised chicken specially, which was very different from braised chicken rice. It's a hard dish made of Yongping chicken. When it was first served, some people didn't know how to put chopsticks. The chicken was as black as pepper, so I finally picked a piece and bit it down. The bone is black, and it is completely fried with pepper, which is not worthy of the name. However, it is delicious and worth eating.
Because I have to take a wedding photo the next day and choose a dress in the store at night, I can't visit butterfly spring and Xizhou ancient town as I wish. I regret that I will come again next time.
In fact, if there is enough time, two people can rent an electric car and a family can rent an electric car. There are car rental shops everywhere along the Erhai Lake. Compared with the endless blue on the cruise ship, it is also a good choice to swim around Erhai Lake in the sunset, watch the fiery red clouds turn into the appearance of loving you, feel the wind kissing your cheek and listen to Erhai Lake whispering about the future.
At this point, Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake have passed, and Dali's journey has come to an end. Pack your bags and go to Lijiang, the next stop. The latest train from Dali to Lijiang 18: 15, and the fare is 34 yuan per ticket. Arrive at Shuhe Ancient Town in Lijiang on 10. Lijiang is a quadrangle inn, the price is very cheap, and you can stay in a good room in the off-season 100 yuan/night.
90% of people who have been to Lijiang want to stay in Lijiang, which is a place where people have no regrets. Being kicked out of my mind is the best description. Here is the healing of one person, the blessing of two people, the relaxation of three or five people, and the madness of a group of people. This is the most beautiful life you can imagine.
Lijiang, worthy of being splashed with ink by all literati, can withstand repeated carving by artists, and is a paradise that flower lovers can't live without all their lives. Let time slow down, grow old slowly, pillow the purest dream in your heart, read poetry and read the distance.
I happened to come to Shuhe Ancient Town by taking the opportunity of filming a micro-movie. Compared with the ancient town of Lijiang, the commercial atmosphere here is not so strong, and the antique environment has become an excellent place to take wedding photos.
Lijiang has more ethnic minorities than Dali, and various ethnic costumes and musical instruments can be seen everywhere. There are flowers all year round, and every household has a dog. This is my truest feeling about Shuhe ancient town. No wonder some people call it "Shuhe Dogwell". In the fragrance of flowers, each alley is a unique world to meet different kinds of dogs.
I have met many kinds of puppies here, each of which is not so fierce. They will hold your hand and run with you until they land on you. The friendliness of dogs makes me believe in the enthusiasm of local people even more.
Shuhe ancient town has many cheap local specialties, mainly Naxi cuisine, and the price is not high. After shopping, find a favorite shop to sit down and taste delicious food, and occasionally catch a glimpse of people coming and going like you outside the glass window.
Jinbaba: It tastes a bit like jujube cake. Spicy and delicious.
Steamed chicken: there are Tricholoma matsutake. Just drink soup. Chicken is tasteless.
Rainbow trout: Snow Mountain fish, fish tight Q bomb.
Simple virtue: This is a local vegetable. It is delicious.
Naxi barbecue: a unique way of barbecue, which tastes very good.
Shuhe bean jelly: eat hot and cold, eat cold and eat hot.
Shuhe ancient town is one of the earliest settlements of Naxi nationality in Yunnan. Naxi characters can be seen everywhere. There is a tea-horse museum in the ancient town (tickets are required), which records the civilization nurtured by a generation of tea-horse ancient roads.
Sifang street is the busiest street in ancient times, extending in all directions, right in the city center. Because there are too many people visiting the night market, there is a saying of "night market fireflies". Nowadays, people come and go as they did many years ago, from generation to generation, in an endless stream.
Time passed quickly in Shuhe ancient town. We found a place to sit down, smell the flowers and be in a daze. An afternoon passed. After dinner, we set out for another ancient city-Old Town of Lijiang.
In Old Town of Lijiang, our B&B hosts are two very lovely little brothers. As soon as we entered the ancient town, we saw his dog. After we checked in, my little brother sat down to have a cup of tea with us and talked about the matters needing attention and customs in Lijiang.
If you want to drink, you can also have a drink with people from all over the world in Brother's bar later. Going out early the next morning, I went back early.
We started before dawn in the morning. 950 yuan (including Blue Moon Valley, Impression Lijiang, cableway, shuttle bus, lunch and necessary cotton-padded jacket and oxygen bottle) was accompanied by a Naxi tour guide, which was very warm and thoughtful. Everyone affectionately calls her Sister Tian.
The number of people entering Yulong Snow Mountain every day is limited, tickets are limited, and there are many precautions. It is suggested that we can travel in small groups and take care of each other. The ropeway (the highest peak can reach 4,680m) is closed for maintenance on the 20th of each month, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong, so it is necessary to prepare for sun protection and high reaction. Old people and children who are in poor health are not recommended to go up (it is dangerous to see several children in a coma after getting off the ropeway).
Although it is the off-season, the flow of people is still very large. After entering the mountain, we went to the Blue Moon Valley first. Blue Moon Valley is named "Baishui River" because the river is blue in sunny days and white in rainy days. The blue river is as beautiful as a drop of blue tears from the goddess of snow mountain.
It is said that washing hands in this water can be transshipped. Washing one hand is official luck, washing two hands is business luck and washing three hands is peach blossom luck. Yunshan Ping, not far from Blue Moon Valley, is called Martyrdom Valley. Ancient Naxi people swore their loyalty to love here, and many couples strolled hand in hand to pray for three lives with their lovers.
Wind chimes are hung everywhere to pray for Naxi, and you can also take photos with yak alpacas. There are also stalls for renting national costumes on the roadside, which are available to all ethnic groups. Of course, all the above are extra.
I have seen many impression series directed by Zhang Yimou. Impression Lijiang is the most primitive way, with the majestic and sacred snow-capped mountains as the background, multi-ethnic culture as the form of expression, without the spotlight embellishment, real love songs resounded through the valley.
At an altitude of 3 100 meters, every conversation seems to have a response from the sky. Different nationalities speak their own languages, and they converge into one sentence: "We are the sons of heaven", which is very shocking. Finally, the blessing ceremony. Everyone got up, faced the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and made sincere wishes in their hearts. People respect nature, and nature gives people the best gift.
The performance lasted for one hour and was divided into six performances, all of which were open-air seats and hats were distributed at the door. The whole performance looks very sunny, so take good sun protection and water, and the high position in the middle is the best viewing angle.
After lunch, the dining hall began to climb the cableway. The whole ropeway is very long, and it takes more than ten minutes to sit. People with high resistance will begin to feel uncomfortable at this time. They can take oxygen in advance to relax, and prepare some high-sugar snacks such as chocolate or snickers in their bags for subsequent energy supplement.
The cableway only reaches the height of 4506 meters. People who feel uncomfortable here should not climb up. Just take pictures and line up. If they are healthy, they can continue to climb 4680 meters. During this period, once they feel dizzy, they will drop rapidly.
Don't stay on the snowy mountain for more than an hour, because it takes about half an hour to queue up and take the cableway down the mountain. If the response is high, the queue time is the most difficult, and there is no ventilation.
The wind at the top of the mountain will soon blow your face red, and blow away all the sunscreen and foundation you put on, so that your face hurts when you touch it. It is recommended to wear a mask to avoid sudden heavy breathing. Be sure to inhale slowly and steadily to adapt to the thin oxygen.
Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Yulong" because its thirteen snow peaks are endless, just like a "dragon" jumping and dancing. But in recent years, due to global warming, the snow on the snowy mountain only melts into ice. It looks like snow in the distance, but it is actually white rock on the mountain. It is a pity to lose these miracles.
Because Yulong Snow Mountain is called "Tianshan Mountain" in the hearts of local people, most local residents resist climbers climbing privately. In addition, the snow-capped mountains are almost 90-degree cliffs. Although it is not as high as Mount Everest, so far no one has reached it.
Standing on the platform of 4680, I feel that other mountains are dwarfed under the sky. My heart is filled with awe. Compared with the great nature, human beings are still as small as ants. Why not be grateful and be kind to nature?
After leaving the Snow Mountain around 6 o'clock and returning to the ancient city, we went back to the hotel and slept for a while. At about eight o'clock in the evening, we went to Old Town of Lijiang to eat food, and ate the local famous preserved ribs, which were salty and fragrant, and the taste was absolutely delicious.
A walk, accidentally met Mufu's light show. With the Mufu real scene as the background, it transforms all year round and plays continuously all night. The countdown began on the wall, which was shocking and worth seeing.
The night view of the ancient city is more dazzling than during the day. Walking in the bar street, everywhere is full of feasts and drunkenness, and all the words are not enough to describe that bright prosperity.
The main road is crowded with people, but as long as you turn an alley, you will have a different feeling and avoid the noisy crowd. Every store is like an independent story, quietly existing, waiting for you to read.
Be careful, don't get lost in the call of this wind chime ~
Flower cakes can be bought everywhere in Old Town of Lijiang, ranging from 100 yuan to 10 boxes-30 boxes. My little brother in B&B advised us not to buy them because they were too cheap. You can buy food now if you like, as well as sachets, perfumes, aromatherapy, scented tea and flower bags. The whole street is full of fragrance.
Old Town of Lijiang has a curfew. In order to ensure the rest time of hotel guests, all entertainment activities must be stopped after 1 1 in the evening, even bars are no exception. As soon as the curfew comes, we will stay with Muslims.
On the last day in Lijiang, we originally planned to go to Lugu Lake, but the journey back and forth for seven or eight hours discouraged us. We all reached an agreement and lived a real "rambling" life.
I didn't get up until noon. I simply ate something and began to stop and go in the ancient city, aimlessly. The resident singers in some coffee shops have begun to hum light music in the afternoon. We found a coffee shop with a viewing platform on Lion Mountain, had a cup of afternoon tea and had a panoramic view of the ancient city, forgetting whose house was singing beautifully.
Many people who want to write but can't write, who want to do but can't afford the courage, who think they have forgotten or have a dull pain, have been put down. This is the magic charm of Lijiang.
At ten o'clock in the evening, we crossed the street again, said goodbye to the flowers and plants and the people we met. After all, many disappointments can only stay here, at our slowest time.
In order to have a cup of anti-snow tea before leaving the ancient city, I accidentally found that Wenchuang Garden next to the ancient city has many characteristic shops and interesting little things, because I can't take a good walk by car.
When the plane took off from Lijiang airport, I suddenly felt very sad, my nose was sour and I wanted to cry. If Yunnan is a paradise of dreams, there are poems and distant places, the sound of the plane is telling me that the dream should wake up and life is still a continuation of chicken feathers.
Goodbye Lijiang and make an agreement with you for the rest of my life. I have been here, leaving nothing but memories and my favorite people.
Every time I write a travel note, I always write more and more. I have many feelings to share with you, and I am afraid that these thoughts of loving life will be gradually forgotten by me. I believe that writing is the best way to record.
Finally, I want to thank Miss Mint for urging me to work more shifts every day. Although Miss Mint, who was originally planned, was unable to attend this trip for some special reasons, she was beautiful and lovely, and she still tirelessly urged and helped me with my strategy output, and put forward her own suggestions for this article. Pen?
