Dream Journey | Yunnan (2)

The main part of Lijiang Old Town is here. The plaque inscribed by Jiang Da stands in front of the city gate. What is it like to visit Lijiang Old Town alone at night? It's cold but not lonely. After returning, I can recall the back of a person in the ancient city of Lijiang many times.

Dayan Ancient Town is relatively heavily commercialized, and there are quite a lot of people even in the off-season. The songs in the bars here all have stories to tell. I was attracted by the singing and stopped at the door many times, but I don’t know why I didn’t want to open the door. enter. I finally came to "Da Bing's hut" in Da Bing's book, and I only took a look before leaving.

I heard from the local Naxi people that Da Bing was disliked by the protagonists in the book, such as the veterans (mentioned in the book where they are happiest), because they felt that Da Bing was drifting in profit and had lost his original intention. The characters in the book The story is overly processed and not true at all.

It seems like once you get involved in Vanity Fair, it’s hard to be authentic, isn’t it?

Shuhe Ancient Town is not far from Dayan Ancient Town, but it is cleaner. I specifically chose this place when I booked a room because I wanted to relax a little slower, so of course I chose a relatively clean place.

I chose an inn called Tingsong Guanyun and couldn't have been more right. The lobby of the inn is a small garden with a Labrador in it. The hostess of the inn is a literary young man who looks like someone who has read a lot of books and traveled a lot. She mentioned that the boss used to be an investment consultant and felt that her life was too social, so she saved some money and came here to open an inn to make a living. , unknowingly it has been ten years.

The soul of the inn is the owner and his wife, one is artistic and quiet, the other is quick-tempered and quick-tempered. Chatting and getting along with them, I feel that it is full of life. The two of them eat three meals a day and live four seasons with a dog. Such a life is really happy.

I really didn’t plan to go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but after chatting with the innkeeper, she strongly recommended it, so I asked her to sign up for a tour for us (including round-trip transportation + tickets + mountain entry fee + oxygen tank and lunch).

They picked us up at about 7 o'clock the next day. The temperature difference between day and night in Lijiang is huge, and we were shivering when we got up. It is worth noting that the driver took us to a place that sold oxygen tanks. In fact, we each had one. However, the saleswoman exaggerated and said that it would be better to bring more bottles, because there may not be enough oxygen to pour. On the mountain, some girls nearby were so scared that they bought two cans. I didn't plan to buy it at first, but I bought one later. Facts have proved that most people only use one can. Even if it is not enough, they can buy it on the mountain for only 60 yuan a can. The place down the mountain also sells us 60 yuan a can. It’s really dark.

Are you out to play? It’s inevitable that you’ll get tricked, but it’s a blessing. Fortunately, the scenery of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is so amazing. The minor problems encountered during the trip (including being tricked by the driver and saying that you need to take a battery car for 50 yuan each), in fact, you don’t need to take it at all. , it was very convenient to walk, and I took the wrong bus, didn’t even get lunch, etc.) It was all written off.

The emerald Blue Moon Valley can completely reflect the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain when the sky is clear. My classmate commented like this, saying the explosion is beautiful

The driver also took us to have a fat golden girl (the Naxi name for women) explain the wind flags and Naxi culture to us. As I get older, my heart becomes softer, and I don’t have so many precautions. If I thought it was a lie before I asked you to buy wind flags, but later I thought it was a way to bring peace and happiness to my family, I would be willing to believe it is true. At the scene, I saw many wind flags being blown by the strong wind, and I felt the power of faith. Fat Jinmei said that every time the wind flag is blown by the wind, it is equivalent to being blessed once. Don't be nervous when it is blown away, because it means that it will come true. In addition, there is no need to buy any more if your family goes to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the future.

From more than 3,000 meters down the mountain, take the cable car directly to more than 4,000 meters. When I first got off the cable car, I thought the scenery was average. As we went up, the levels became richer and the view became wider.

In fact, you only need to walk more than 100 meters to reach the top of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at 4,680 meters. However, it took more than an hour to walk just 100 meters, because altitude sickness can cause dizziness and chest tightness. Don't run or play here, as it can easily cause danger due to altitude sickness. Every time I look up, I am amazed, and I feel that it is really worth it. The world is endless, and my mind is also broadened.

I really still have to go out for a walk every year!
