Lijiang is the Naxi settlements. Lijiang Dayan Old Town approval of the United Nations World Heritage Site, the ancient city's buildings are all-the ancestral home of the Naxi Ren, vermilion paint on doors and windows, thresholds, door bars, all the wooden structures, usually on the first floor two-story shop in front After the house pattern. 4 divert the river into the city, almost every street has a gully, small bridges and night. Size of the streets of terraced rice paddies and orderly, street 34 meters wide, but narrow at only allow two people side by side too, all of the Department of quartzite paved, stone steps ups and downs, on a winding stretch Teng front row looked standing height row of hanging foot building rugged, row upon row of houses is both varied and patchwork.
Extension of the street a few bends throughout the entire city, such as the Sun Yee On Street, Xinhua Street, East Street, Square Street ... ..., the East Main Street is relatively wide, a big street, and the weather was fine when the middle of the street you can stand in the distance saw Yulong snow-capped mountains, misty, mountain ridges of the snow is clearly visible, feeling a bit like Japan's Mount Fuji. Old Town and the snow-capped mountains cross-Hui Ying, beautiful.
The ancient city during the day, people less fairly, because most of the tourists went to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and other scenic spots around. Alone Beizhao Bao dangling, do not necessarily want to buy something, it's that no head walked, tired easily sit on the bridge's piers, rest for a while, listening to the gurgling sound of flowing water, when my mind is a blank, seems to have lost all the worldly troubles. In the evening, quiet and detailed, and no longer belong to the ancient city during the day play out those who have returned to the ancient city, some shopping, some restaurants in the colored bar chatting, and everyone in front of the red lanterns lit, bars, food stalls, All the lights are bright spark, and illuminate the wall of Ming Wa-liang, a noisy scene.
Lijiang art is very strong, there are many characteristics of craft, batik, cloth shawls, wood carvings, chromium iron painting, hand-painted T-shirts, silver, Cangshi so dazzling, everything. Some wood shops or chrome iron picture store, sitting in front of the artisans are making, which seems to have just their way of life, and has become their indispensable in life. They looked at their own entertainment, music in which the appearance, feel that this is also the characteristics of Lijiang scenery it!
In Lijiang did not eat a lot of local flavor, the deepest impression is the Lijiang Baba and chickens, grass jelly beans. Lijiang Baba there are sweet and salty, and all came to greasy, not very co-appetite, chicken grass jelly beans are cold, there are fried, and quite a good taste. Lijiang were quite fond of eating potatoes, and side streets on both sides can always see the French fries and roasted potatoes, taste it too badly. Perhaps because of our short time in Lijiang, there is no feature to find other food. If you want to truly understand Lijiang, to understand the feelings of living in Lijiang, only their own personal body odor Caixing.
"This is China's southwestern border of virgin land, there is a beautiful place. Suddenly walked into the 20th century, 20-30 years of Chinese cities and towns. Yes south Lin Hai-yin, Lu Xun in Shaoxing, or Shen's Xiangxi." This is a hand-drawn map of Lijiang written text. It also summarizes all the beauty of Lijiang.
Should pay special attention: In the Old Town of Lijiang Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, when chartered to go. There a couple name is Gong Ying and Cao of loyalty, the vehicle registration number is PT0110, these two cars do not use! The two men appear to look familiar, in fact, not. That woman sustained efforts to follow us, that very sincerely, and said the day the car contracted to us, business cards, said the eight spots to play all over, want to go can be, adding that the road will be charged, she could help us free, and driving is her husband. When we got on when it starts, he seems sincerely to face us about the eight spots, and tell us some spots are duplicated, some are man-made attractions, and do not have to go, and said with his understanding, yak Niu Ping is the best. Just go to this one place on the list. When we played the way back to Maoniuping Zaiqu when the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain (Jade Dragon Snow Mountain attractions are within their commitment), he should face with a steamed-color, that we have not heard the way he presentation. Also said that each spot must be the money, he wanted to help us save money. Want to save money is our own business, and his ware? ! On the way, through the toll, the usual dig the money, and later asked him, he actually said that his wife speaks Mandarin well, we did not understand what she meant. In the end, we are concerned only three of eight scenic spots, and when I ask to Longquan Temple, he coldly said, this place is not involved in within the line, so do not go, so it has no credibility! I Qi Ji and his theory, he went so far as the car stopped at the roadside, not away. Partner and pedestrians are old and sick, he is the local people, we had to give up the idea, Ren Zai had. This thing flies like to eat as much ruined my mood. He come online has been said that Naxi = trash pig! Treacherous really shameless to the point, this is gotten through to, in fact, even the pigs do not like! ! . We must beware of the pig.
Although the mood discounted, but still want to talk about the Yulong Snow Mountain and Maoniuping.
Deng MAONIUPING can be riding, you can also take cable car. A person riding a 63 yuan, 60 yuan a person cable car ride. We have chosen to ride mountain climbing. Rugged mountain walk. More than half an hour later we boarded the Maoniuping. Climbed the peak eyes really suddenly. Plank Road can walk along a platform, is specifically built by the locals, here is the best place to see snow-capped mountains. Because, after all, in November, the Peak near the original green grass have become yellow, must have four or five month, it should mountainsides are green grass and mountain flowers, what is another scene of the. Not far away on the grass along the berm could be hidden between the Tibetan people see a thatched cottage built by the distance between the cypress pine trees with some trees the leaves have become yellow from afar, into a large dark green are mixed with a little yellow, they should not have some flavor. More distant rolling hills, that is the Yulong Snow Mountain, although there are misty, or can faintly see the peak on the snow. Seemingly far away from the snow-capped mountains, snow-capped mountains, but have heard want to go do the next four days to go, and even walked from our place to build a house Tibetans are also more than an hour to go. Mountains, pines, house, lawn, another blue sky white clouds set off, with an occasional cool breeze blowing, as if to tell me this is true beauty, rather than fantasy wonderland.
The MAONIUPING ate yak meat, roast, taste good. Tibetan steep drink yak butter tea, life for the first time to drink butter tea, feeling strange taste.
We are sitting on board of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain cableway. Cableway ride though a certain safety factor, but the snow mountain steep, steep rare, there is fear of heights who still have to think twice before they act. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain an elevation over 4600 meters, the hill snow. Take the ropeway to reach the height of 4506 meters above sea level, the next cable car was presented in front of the Snowy Mountains is really, and eyeful mottled gray limestone dotted with dazzling white snow, reaching can be touched. For the places I live in the plains near the Snowy Mountains, such as some posts are really the first time, excitement is self-evident. Can continue to climb upward along the Plank Road, leading directly to the height of 4600 meters above sea level, just arrived in the Peak will have some slight feeling of shortness of breath, After all, it has such a height. When we want to climb up, this is getting a strong reaction to high altitudes, and dizziness, shortness of breath, limb weakness. They could only give up, someone wants to leave the Plank Road crossed the fence, feet steadfast mountain photography can be for security, there is restrained by staff in a timely manner. As we go to the season is not, perhaps, and did not see the most beautiful scenery. If in four or five months or eight to go in September, then will see the foot of the mountain mountain flowers everywhere, faction summer scene, green leaf in the mist-shrouded mountains. The Peak is the snow, then will be able to experience the "mountain has four seasons," the natural landscape.
