Lijiang Old Town belongs to the town of Dayan Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, was founded in Song to the early Yuan Dynasty, there are almost a thousand years of history, the South Silk Road and the Tea-Horse Trail passes through town. Lion city west, north Xiangshan, facing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, in the Castle Peak waited for opportunities to being like a giant ink stone. The ancient city of sunny, cool, clear water for three Yuquan wear cities, then into the city is divided into numerous tributaries, street to street, admission drilling wall. Cross Creek town houses built according to Flow to Ming and Qing Dynasties, "SNAP five yards," "Three Square, a screen wall," consisting mainly of Naxi folk architecture; streets paved roads lead to quartzite, layout, Kit Kat, unique, lively, straight there Qu, Qu has folded, just like in a Bagua Zhen.

Building is a symbol of the ancient city of Lijiang Lion's eternal floor, in the eternal floor you can hear well-known Naxi Ancient Music (excerpt), in the eternal upstairs, you can see the entire Old Town of Lijiang, where the snow-capped mountains, ancient and harmonious blend, backpack passengers not to be missed.
In the Old Town of Lijiang, I saw a lot of strange things, many Naxi ethnic characteristics of the arts and crafts, ancient city of big houses on the street long as they are, the most open into the inn, craft shops and so on. In addition to the rich ethnic characteristics of the silver and handicrafts, the Lijiang distinctive snacks are not to be missed.
Furui Inn I stayed a night, the next morning, we had arranged to join the Kun Du Yulong Snow Mountain. Kun Du Tibetan, Yulong Snow Mountain in the eyes of local people, has been a sacred mountain in the mountains there are many Tibetans, Kun Du natural inevitably some dressed, wearing a Tibetan dress.
We had a small surface package to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain with two rope lines - Maoniuping, Yunshan Ping. We went MAONIUPING. Said there is a place where you can see the most beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain - lead.
Chartered to own is very convenient, there is such a guide Kun Du, and now is the off-season, relatively few people a lot. Car drives very fast toward a city on the Yulong Snow Mountain go through. In the car we know a lot about the story of snow-capped mountains. Bound for the car in the snow-capped mountains on the way to go through the toll Yulong Snow Mountain, or else how to say their own chartered is good, and our cars to bypass the toll (this can be snow-free tickets, free city construction fees, is not to save a sum of money? Management Office know, would certainly Masi me), along the spiral and on the road, up the hill to open. With the increasingly high mountain, feeling more and more cold, and perhaps the relationship between the higher and higher above sea level, car window side of the road can already see the snow everywhere.
Automotive opened more than an hour, and finally to the Maoniuping ropeway. Since the time the mountain has been the toll of snow-capped mountains, this is no longer Mai Menpiao. We sat directly ropeway up the mountain, direct Maoniuping. MAONIUPING ropeway fare 60 yuan (round-trip price). Can be seen on the MAONIUPING a vast prairie, a mountain top another hill. As we are in winter, the grass is brown, and therefore can not now see the "wind-swept pastures see the cattle and sheep," the beauty. However, because it is low season, fewer visitors sake, let me have a feeling my prairie.
Kun Du hill as we go through the rows of wooden huts Tibetans can enjoy authentic grilled yak meat, baked frozen chickens, yak milk, butter tea and so on. After a one hill, you can see the mountains caravan. Here you can go horseback riding, Maoniuping various attractions. By the way, in the Maoniuping, mountains, mountain There are two caravan. From the foot of the mountain horse riding on the Maoniuping, you can not take the rope, riding back and forth price is 60. However, because we are in the mountains, but also horse riding, so sit ropeway up the mountain. Interested parties are also available from the foot of the mountain riding up the mountains, the same as fares and cableway.
In the mountains and caravan owners, after some bargaining, decided the price of 150 yuan per person, riding to the faucet. As the leading furthest, and the higher elevations, to recommend other backpackers in the mountains, you can choose horseback riding. Way to tell you a know-how, and when the owner counter-offer, you can choose the cheapest route, because it was riding up the mountain holding the tourists up the mountain, you can also give people tips Qian Ma, so that you can go to the farthest place, the price Also a lot cheaper. I am also took 150 ocean before they get the lesson. Of course, this does not let the boss know the caravan, or ... ...
Me and a fellow with a girl riding up the mountain, where some praise again, there's Maji is good, because it is plateau, Maoniuping not like the park in general, it does not have guide maps, there is no park walls It was originally a ranch, so FIT into the mountains, the best pack horse, so that there will be neither altitude sickness, there are a good guide is really best of both worlds. We are from the top to the faucet, but also about two hours riding a horse to get to the best places to view snow-capped mountains - leading. In fact, this path to view snow-capped mountains are good, but the feeling of leading the best. MAONIUPING grassland is quite distinctive, this is grassland, there is a forest, if there is no guide to go can not really lead. After a number of attractions along the way.
Finally to the faucet, faucet is a grassland, but which face the Yulong Snow Mountain's 13 peaks, shaped like the lead, hence the name. Here again is the annual venue for horse herders, so a spring of each year, there will be huge crowds of people. Right now, although do not feel the atmosphere of the time, but can in such quiet circumstances, such a close appreciation of snow-capped mountains, grasslands, may well be a pleasure. Grasslands, the remainder of our two horses alone, three individuals, not far from a group of wild horses grazing in the leisurely. Now the season, the grass is dry, and pastoralists are generally not put horses up, and only a leisurely life of wild horses are still here, and perhaps for them, now is a good season. Guide told us that these wild horses that are not worried about being at night, sometimes back down the mountain villagers go home stables grazing. And now the season of the grass withered and yellow, for the right horse is the most fragrant, and no less than our McDonald's, KFC Ji Ba!
The few of us sat at the head of a very long time, and finally to the back of the time, we naturally endless nostalgia, photographed a large number of photos. Commence final preparations to go back, maybe I feel too good's sake, I also like the feel and life of pastoral steppes and I guide that a person intends to ride, without embracing the wizard, the wizard is also overlooked, let me a man ride to go. That suppose, perhaps the horse cheat strangers bar, once a low neck and very low, in situ direct spinning all of a sudden put me in rejection from his horse down. I suddenly fell and disoriented, frightened wizard, and quickly go to the horse forever. Then he told me that tourists might be two days too few reasons, consistent horse rest, and at once ran so far away, and some can not stand, it made a little temper, people will have a temper, not to mention it is a horse? In short, after that, I am no longer afraid to be launched one's own can only be called the guide helped me up and down horses.
Back on the caravan MAONIUPING resident, I let guide escorted me dismounted and half a day without breath, the wizard is busy I do not live to apologize, because I have fairly thick skin, bone, relatively hard, fairly all right . Directly down the hill go down the way they run into the Tibetan tour guides Kun Du, he had waited for us for a long time. As I also intend to go after the big down a foot Tiger Leaping Gorge, so hurry down the mountain.
We sat down after the ropeway is already more than 16:00, as previously found in the online information, go to big with the latest car, at about 3:00 or so there will be no, and made me very nervous for fear of missing the latest shuttle, Kun Du they intend to direct back to Lijiang, afraid I can not keep up truck, has been waiting for me to go on until the last group of a large car, before breaking up. I almost forgot, Lijiang to the Maoniuping chartered price is 80 yuan / person.
