Before this, we have never been to Lijiang, but the strategy is my decision-selfishness, and the place we want to go is of course the first consideration (it is actually a joke, so everyone is the most important). On the second day after we returned to Chongqing, I rearranged this article. The original intention of writing is to record the itinerary and what you saw and heard along the way before the excitement of playing has disappeared. Let's start with "Travel Notes" for the time being.
The first article, Lashihai
I flew from Chongqing to Lijiang at ten o'clock the first morning and arrived in two hours, which was exactly noon. Chongqing can't see the sun in winter, but it seldom rains. The gloomy weather makes the whole city look like a fog cage, which makes people feel bored and depressed. As soon as I entered Yunnan, my eyes suddenly brightened, and the instantly open scenery was exciting-the blue sky was vast and boundless, and the white clouds floating faintly under the blue sky were just like cotton candy. I am so happy that I can't help being excited.
The pick-up service booked on Ctrip, because there is not much luggage, did not go to the place to live first, but went directly from the airport to the first stop: Lashihai, and passed the airport for half an hour. The purchased packages include: lunch, boating, beach riding and tea tasting. Lunch is a famous "steamed chicken" in the local area. It is tender and delicious, and you can add it if you are not full. The main landscape of Lashihai Lake is a wetland lake. The lake is crystal clear, with slender aquatic plants floating leisurely and fish of all sizes passing through it. The bright sunshine shines on the starlight on the lake, and the sparkling appearance is beautiful. There is no limit to rowing time. Two people take a boat together and paddle by themselves. Fans learn rowing skills in minutes, and they can freely sway on the blue waves, full of sense of accomplishment. Sometimes they race with fish, sometimes chase wild ducks for fishing, collide with other ships happily, and then row away with a smile ... The breeze Xu Lai blows away the restless throb and brings refreshment. Personally, I think it is more appropriate to row for an hour. After all, it is also manual labor. After a long time, my hands are sore and my legs are numb.
The ancient tea-horse road was preserved from ancient times, and its long history can be traced back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. Riding on a fat horse's back, kicking through the dense Woods, the local people who accompanied us enthusiastically explained their wonderful history, sang and laughed all the way, and experienced the life of the caravan on the ancient road. Although the "bang" of automobile engine has already replaced the "da da" of horseshoe in modern society, people will not reject traditional culture. While experiencing and imagining, they can't help lamenting the rapid development of society. After sitting in a circle for more than an hour, most people complained that their buttocks hurt after riding for a long time, but I felt pain in my big legs, probably because my legs were pinched for a long time. After riding, we had a rest and tasted tea, mainly caravan tea. The bitter taste of snow tea and the sweet taste of daughter red make taste buds one after another. "Fat Golden Girl" seriously tells the local customs and cultural customs, and we are all ears. Many novel and interesting stories opened our eyes. We know that local women like black and fat men. It is said that such a man is worth 30 adult yaks. ......
Finally, I just think there are many differences between ethnic minorities and Han nationality, but we all have the same love for the motherland, so we can talk together.
In winter, the sunshine is short, and the sun will set at four or five o'clock. Most of the scenic spots are about to close, so we chose to go to the second stop: Old Town of Lijiang. First, because our accommodation was arranged in the ancient city (the private inn house booked was unique, elegant in layout and fresh in environment), we stayed for many days, and the boss also arranged a pick-up service. More importantly, when night falls, it is time for the ancient city to open its arms. At the beginning of the lights, an endless stream of people filled the whole ancient city with vitality. At midnight when the moon is high and the streets are brightly lit, people who have been busy all day can vent here. Old Town of Lijiang is very big, and the layout of the ancient city is connected by three mountains and one river. There are three rivers running through the city, and every household has tap water; The layout of the street and the setting of meridians are curved, quiet, narrow and vivid; Among them, Shuhe Ancient Town and Dayan Ancient Town are the most popular. The dazzling array of goods makes people see things in a blur, and the delicious food with a fragrance of ten miles makes people salivate. The saying that five steps and one scene, ten steps are not important to the sky, can be completely verified here; Sifang street in the center of the ancient city is particularly lively. This corner used to be known as "Bar Street". The deafening sound of "wine and coffee" sent a warm invitation to people coming and going. The rule of the bar is to open at dark and close at midnight. The nightlife of the whole ancient city gradually opens here and ends quietly here. For those who love shopping, it is recommended to wear a pair of light shoes and put high heels aside for the time being, because they are all stone roads; Living here, you don't have to walk far at once, but walk slowly for several nights.
Chapter II Lugu Lake
The next day we arranged to go to Lugu Lake. More than 200 kilometers away from the ancient city, there are direct buses between scenic spots, but the time is long, so we choose to drive by car and rent a car in CAR Inc, and SUV is the first choice. Choose a new road, except for two or three sections that are slightly bumpy, and other sections are brand-new asphalt roads. The ancient city came out for a distance and began to go downhill. The mountain road spiraled down for a long time, crossed the Jinsha River to the foot of the opposite mountain, and then turned eighteen times. This time it's a spiral rise, and friends who like driving can enjoy it completely.
There are tall and majestic peaks on both sides of Jinsha River, but most of them are bare. It seems that I can feel the scene of yellow sand all over the sky when the wind blows, thinking that I have come to the loess high slope. Slowly flowing Jinsha River, like a dark green ribbon, quietly falls there. It is sparsely populated and inaccessible here, which is the most authentic close-up here. Seeing the primary school built on the edge of the cliff reminds me of my childhood. Compared with the harsh environment, how happy we were then! The winding Panshan Highway comes from a distance and winds away from a distance. The road sign says "eighteen bends in the mountain road", and it feels like 180 bends all the way down!
At 7: 30 in the morning, I will start with a bowl of Yunnan rice noodles and arrive at my destination before almost twelve o'clock. When I arrive at the scenic spot, I will buy a ticket first, and then I will eat to replenish my energy. Lugu Lake is the junction of Yunnan and Sichuan, where you can feel the collision of customs and food culture between the two places.
Needless to say, how big Lugu Lake is! Driving smoothly, I passed through Yunnan and came to Sichuan unconsciously. It's almost impossible to walk, and it's tiring to ride, so go on road trip around the lake is a good choice, with beautiful scenery all the way, stopping whenever you want, all kinds of patting, surprises and surprises. The lake is as endless as a mirror, and the undulating peaks embrace it in a warm embrace. The radiant light from the sun has also been sublimated here and become brilliant. Everything in front of me is so refreshing and lingering; Modern people live in fast-paced cities for a long time, where they can get the unique peace and comfort in the world. You can go by boat when you see ships docked on the shore. If you want to go to the original site of Dear Inn, it's at Lowa North Pier (next to a large reed, which is called "Caohai" by the locals, and a long "marriage bridge" runs through it. Flocks of wild ducks are playing in the water, and the plants seen after autumn are all yellow, suitable for spring and summer. ) In the past, boats with different colors of red, yellow, blue and white added icing on the cake to the colorful lake. Dark-skinned boatmen are singing local songs across the water, which are loud and long. As the wooden boat slowly moves forward, the small halo aroused by the paddle ripples round and round; Bypassing an island, you can hear the scattered laughter. The boatman pointed to the distance and motioned for us to come from there. We looked in the direction of our fingers, and the inn hidden in the harbor gradually became clear, and the figure of tourists began to loom.
The scenery of Lugu Lake is unnecessary and indispensable. Everything is intertwined, which complements each other and complements each other. Pick up the camera and take a photo at will, which is a beautiful photo. -Beautiful Lugu Lake! Unfortunately, my poor words can't express one thousandth of yours!
I heard that there is an unknown minority in Luguhu Town. Curiosity drove me to keep asking people about it. Finally, I learned that they are Mosuo people, a branch of Naxi people, and they respect the matriarchal society. My grandmother has full authority to arrange and manage the life and daily life of ethnic groups, as well as the more novel custom of "getting married" and relatives. It takes a day to go back and forth to Lugu Lake. If you are too tired, you can spend the night here. We went to the ancient city in the afternoon.
The third article, Yulong Snow Mountain
On the third day, I went to Yulong Snow Mountain. (I bought package tickets, special lunches, environmental protection buses, mountaineering ropeways, oxygen bottles and windbreakers, and round-trip tickets for scenic spots. ) The ancient city takes about 30 minutes by car. I left early because the 5A scenic spot is always crowded. Finally, it was confirmed that it was completely correct for us to go out at eight o'clock. On the way to the Snow Mountain, we passed Ganhaizi. In the winter morning, a thin layer of frost covered the earth with a white coat. The driver, who was telling humorous jokes all the way, suggested that we get off and take pictures. Our friends in the coastal areas, because they have never seen real snow, can't help screaming when they see this layer of frost, and their fingers can't help but catch up and study. Standing at the foot of the mountain, the sacred and magical snow-capped mountains stand in front of us, rehearsing the Millennium wonders.
After driving for a while, the master said that just transfer to the scenic bus. After he smiled and emphasized some precautions to us, we changed to the bus and went on. When you get off the bus, you have to queue up to climb the mountain by cable car. The queuing area larger than the basketball court has long been crowded with bustling people, so it is not surprising that "queuing for two hours and cycling for five minutes" often occurs. Time passed slowly. An hour later, I finally stepped on the heel of the man in front and got on the cable car. Within a few minutes, the altitude suddenly rose by 1000 meters, and there was a feeling of soaring. I was so excited that I was incoherent for a moment. The white clouds floating overhead were suddenly trampled under our feet, and we couldn't help admiring the magic of nature. With the elevation, oxygen becomes thinner and thinner. Oxygen should be inhaled four or five times before boarding the cable car, and oxygen should be replenished from time to time when boarding the cable car. When the cable car arrives, it has to climb about 300 meters of covered bridges and stairs to reach the top. When climbing the highest step, a bluish-brown stone tablet suddenly appeared, about two meters high and one meter wide, standing upright in the center of the pavilion, as if waiting for the next warrior to visit, engraved with the striking Chinese character "4680" in dark blue font, which should be the closest color to the sky. Years of wind, frost, rain and snow have left deep footprints on it, but it still overlooks the sky and leads the mountains. I think this is also the spiritual embodiment of every climber. Tourists are scrambling to take pictures here, carefully storing every moving story. Standing on the top of the peaks, it is difficult to express the shock of reaching out and touching the white clouds. The only way is "it's difficult to get to the top" and "climb to the top, and at a glance, other mountains are dwarfed under the sky." Absolutely overwhelming any other words; Even if you sing or scream, others will not feel strange, because this is the same mood for everyone at that time. Due to the influence of airflow, there will be wind on the snowy mountain from time to time, so earmuffs and windbreakers are necessary. Sometimes, on cloudy days or rainy days, the top of the mountain will encounter snow. Imagine how beautiful it is.
After enjoying the scenery of the snow-capped mountains, I went down the mountain by cable car. I am a person who is afraid of heights. When I went down the mountain, my palms were sweating and my speed was accelerated. I was so scared that I covered my eyes with my hands and my body trembled involuntarily. The blonde in the same car glanced at me from time to time. Although I can't understand what she is saying, I can understand what she wants to say. When there is a strong wind on the snowy mountain, the cable car will stop and hover in mid-air, and my heart will "plop" and frighten me to grab the arm of the boss next to me. People who like extreme challenges certainly enjoy it, but they pity those who are afraid of heights. When I got to the foot of the mountain and got off the cable car, I still felt suspended all over. I leaned against the post for a while before I came to my senses.
My mood gradually calmed down and my stomach began to growl. Under the guidance of my master, I went to a farmhouse and prepared to drink. A table full of Yunnan specialties and plateau specialties immediately dispelled the previous panic and fear. After eating the first pot, I was full and satisfied. The enthusiastic boss insisted on adding meat and vegetables to us, but it was difficult to entertain. Ok, let's cheer and kill another pot! During the dinner, the boss also brought a variety of special snacks, including highland yak meat, highland barley cake and secret wild mushrooms, but most of them have forgotten their names, leaving only delicious taste in their throats.
Blue Moon Valley is the next stop after a hearty meal. Blue Moon Valley is known as "Little Jiuzhaigou". Standing at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, the snow on the top of the mountain and the wonders of the sun at the foot of the mountain spread out in front of us, and walked up the stone road along the shore with beautiful scenery along the way. The flowing water is gurgling, the green fields are lush, and one lake after another forms a lake chain, which looks like a string of pearls from a distance. The color of each lake is different, blue is like a gem, green is like a jade, and white is like a crystal. Here, mountains and water present the most perfect combination. What you see in front of you is a scene! It seems that there are exquisite handicrafts everywhere, and every visitor is dumbfounded and amazed; The shutter sound of "click, click, click" that keeps reaching my ears is only the simplest interpretation of him. According to the local people, when you arrive at the top white sand beach, wash your hands here with the water from "Yulong Snow Mountain" and make a pious wish in the face of the snow mountain, which will soon come true; Yulong Snow Mountain contains many scenic spots and places, as well as Yunshan Ping and Maoniuping.
The morning of the fourth day is a mobile time, mainly for shopping and rest, and then return at noon; There are all kinds of goods in the ancient city, and there are bustling commercial streets outside the city.
Some people say that if you want to study and travel, at least one of your body and soul must be on the road. I benefited a lot from this trip. If I want to say I'm sorry, I don't learn the local Naxi language and writing. I just remember to call the "beautiful" girl "Fat Golden Girl".
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, wrapped in silver, beautiful Lijiang, people on the road; The beautiful scenery of Lijiang needs to be experienced with heart, far more than I wrote.
