Yunnan Travel Notes 4 | Sleepless Night in Lijiang Ancient Town

October 2, 2018, the fourth day in Yunnan. Today we had free activities and were not arranged. It was a very leisurely day, so much so that we visited Lijiang Old Town twice. Of course, the two experiences were different. We listened to Brother Jingmo’s SEO course and made a summary. That night, Xiao Guobao and I stayed up all night.

【Interlude】

Last night we stayed in a hotel in Lijiang Old Town. It has a wooden structure and has very ethnic characteristics. Something interesting happened.

We live on the second floor. As soon as we enter the room, it feels like the house is shaking. I asked Xiao Guobao, "Does the house feel like it's shaking?" and I thought, "Is there an earthquake?" Xiao Guobao, the most educated Xiao Guobao in Xiaochi, said: "In a house with a wooden structure, if someone goes up the stairs or moves too much, there will be noise in the room. rattling or shaking.”

At about eleven o'clock, Miss Wuxie came and knocked on our door. She said, "Haiyan, please go to my room. I feel something is under the bed, and it keeps moving. Neither I nor Bu Ling Bu Ling dare to do it." look".

So I went over to "empower her", but nothing happened. Then I explained to Miss Wuxie why there was a noise, but she still didn't believe it. The young lady must have read too many weird stories, hehe. Finally, I directly used the demonstration effect. I said: "Look, this house made of wood will make some movement if you jump around it. Try it." While talking, I also jumped to show it to her.

Breakfast at hotel.

At eight o'clock, we had a buffet breakfast in the hotel. Rice noodles with a fried egg, minced meat, sprinkled with chopped green onion, and some chili oil. The slippery rice noodles tasted great. After finishing the rice noodles, Xiao Guobao and I went outside to wander around.

Lijiang Old Town is very quiet in the early morning, with no commercial atmosphere.

The early bird catches the worm, and travelers who get up early can see different scenery.

Lijiang Old Town is very quiet in the early morning, bustling with tourists and seeing a strong commercial atmosphere. Most of the shops were closed at this time, except for a few diligent shopkeepers who opened their doors early. Perhaps this is the slow life in Lijiang. Not only is life very slow, but even the time to go to work has also slowed down.

The three-eye well is a custom of the Naxi people.

A major feature of the ancient city of Lijiang is the three-eye well, which uses the spring water gushes from the underground to build a three-level pool according to the height difference of the terrain. Each pool has its own function.

The upper pool is the source of spring water, which is clear and clean and is used for drinking. The water overflows from the upper pool and flows into the middle pool. The water in the middle pool is also very clean and is used for washing vegetables and tableware. The water in the middle pool overflows and flows into the lower pool. The water in the lower pool is used for washing. Come and do the laundry.

Although Lijiang is rich in water resources, the simple Naxi people in Lijiang have made the best use of natural gifts.

Mufu, a storm, a story.

"There is the Forbidden City in the north and Mufu in the south", which shows the historical status of Mufu. Mufu is the palace of Lijiang Chieftain Mu's family in Lijiang. The TV series "Mufu Feng Yun" was filmed here. However, we didn't go in due to various hesitations. It seems to have left another reason to come to Lijiang next time.

The early morning time is always short, but in the afternoon, Lijiang Old Town becomes lively.

I also tried the Lijiang tambourine.

The beautiful sound of Lijiang tambourine can be heard everywhere on the streets of the ancient city. Clapping the tambourine and singing folk songs, this is Lijiang.

"It was at this moment that I realized that you were by my side. At this moment, I realized that I had lost your face..."

This is the folk song of Lijiang Xiaoqian, a little national treasure who loves to hum the most—a moment.

When we visited Lijiang in the afternoon, Brother Jingmo was choosing clothes for his girlfriend in an ethnic clothing store. The boss happened to have a Lijiang tambourine lying around. After asking, we tried it out. I play music and clap the tambourine but I can't find the rhythm. (Miss Wuxie played the kind of fast-paced music)

Life in Lijiang is very slow, and copywriting everywhere tells you to slow down and live life.

"I don't ask for companionship, I don't ask for what I once had, I don't even ask for you to love me, I just ask for meeting you in my most beautiful years."

"Open a warm shop and meet warm people"

Lijiang is very beautiful. There are bars everywhere, and you can hear sweet singing coming from the bars everywhere. You can listen to the singing of the girl upstairs. It’s really nice.

At the highest point of the ancient city, drink a glass of 35% green plum wine.

When you come to Lijiang, how can you not go to a bar? Xiao Guobao, Wu Xie, Jing Mo, and I, the four of us reached an agreement to sit at the bar at the top.

After ordering a bottle of 35% green plum wine, the four of us started the Lijiang-style "petty bourgeoisie life".

Maybe you cast an envious look, wow, listening to folk songs and drinking wine is so romantic. Is this what you imagined?

But actually, the truth is this. We were blown away by the Lijiang wind here. Fortunately, the boss thoughtfully prepared blankets.

However, no matter how cold the wind is, it can't stop us from thinking HIGH. Four people, four glasses of wine, here’s to us, to the beauty of meeting us because of Ye Xiaoyu’s copywriting.

Here, you can overlook the entire ancient city of Lijiang. Under the blue sky and white clouds, with the uniform blue bricks and black tiles, and the looming white walls, the ancient city of Lijiang turned out to be quite spectacular.

I took a lot of beautiful pictures, and I always want to show them off. Hehe, please look at the beautiful pictures.

Okay, it's almost five o'clock. After finishing the drink, Xiaoyu called us to go back and listen to the class. I visited Lijiang Old Town twice today. The first time in the morning was a quiet ancient city; the second time in the afternoon was a lively ancient city.

Brother Jingmo’s SEO course has started

The topic of this lecture by Silent Brother is - how to make your popular copywriting be seen by more people? Brother Jingmo talked about the most basic SEO methods, such as: How to embed your own keywords in your content?

For example: What should you pay attention to when adding keywords to the content description?

The keywords that users need to search for should appear as much as possible in the description of the content, such as "copywriting". Three keywords within 100 words are optimal.

I was in a daze after listening to Brother Jingmo’s course. There was too much content and I couldn’t remember it.

After Brother Jingmo finished his lecture, Xiaoyu made many good suggestions for optimizing Brother Jingmo’s course structure and the words used in the course.

(Let me tell you secretly, in fact, our little brother Jingmo is silently polishing his own SEO course. I think after Xiaoyu’s strict revision, this course will definitely be great. I’m really looking forward to it.)

After Brother Jingmo finished his lecture, we went next door to the hotel to eat Yunnan wild mushroom hot pot. After dinner, we still wanted to visit the night view of Lijiang Old Town, but we were "caught" by a small fish and made a summary.

Night at the small pond, full of memories.

Tonight, we each summarized the work at hand. We talked about what we did well and what we did poorly. How can we do it better in the future? This is a question that each of us needs to seriously think about.

Xiaoyu said: "As we go along, it becomes clearer and clearer." This kind of clarity means that Xiaoyu knows more clearly what he wants to do.

The heart-warming little fish recalled the year we spent together, from Chengdu on New Year's Day at the beginning of the year to Yunnan in October. In 10 months, Xiaochi used the pocket money he earned in his spare time to travel to Yunnan.

At almost eleven o'clock, our small meeting ended, and what followed was a sleepless night for Xiao Guobao and I.

Sleepless night in Lijiang Old Town, Lijiang is very quiet at three o'clock in the morning.

After the reminiscing, everyone went to their own rooms to wash up and go to sleep. After lying down like this for an hour, Xiao Guobao said she couldn't sleep, felt depressed and a little panicked.

She came over and shared a bed with me, thinking it would be better. But it got worse and worse later on, so I accompanied her to a nearby hospital. The doctor diagnosed that it was due to "hypoxia" and she was given oxygen for more than two hours in the hospital. It was past three o'clock in the morning when we got back to the hotel, and we had to get up at five o'clock to go to Lugu Lake, so we didn't sleep that night.

This is our fourth day in Yunnan. We have seen the quiet Lijiang in the early morning, the busiest Lijiang, and the Lijiang at three in the morning. The journey will continue, and everything is unfinished...
