I remember the first time I heard the ancient city of Lijiang in 1996.
That year, Lijiang occurred in the magnitude 7 earthquake. New buildings in Lijiang were not spared, can be built in the Yuan Dynasty of the Old Town of Lijiang was intact, that is, the "Masters in China," Go tournament is also open-Ping Lijiang. Lijiang increasingly high rates published in the paper, and I also more interested in it. 98 years, I hastily went to the one Lijiang, really feel it America. America's pure, graceful, beautiful, Wanru Yierbanian Chinese girl. Said hastily, only because the short time in the ancient city of Lijiang, have not been to savor the beauty of the ancient city of Lijiang.
Four years later, blossoms and to, I went to Lijiang.
Lijiang graceful still be at this time Lijiang, China in 2028 is no longer a girl, would the purity, beauty is also due to the arrival of people from different places, subtractive lot, but also a lot of complicated. Xinhua street become a typical洋人街. Row upon row of cafes, bars, western restaurants, are filled with "foreigners", Chinese people are making a quiet little town no longer exists. Even at night, that is the most colorful period of time in Lijiang. Lijiang at this time is more like a graceful graceful young women wander in the absurd reality and dreams. Different styles of shops, different colors of the lantern signs, coffee shops, wine candlelight shake Barry drag, and accompanied by gurgling sound of flowing water, acquaintance, and did not know that people get together or talk or whisper. Occasionally drift from the river had a peculiar shape, WATER LANTERNS, attracting passers-by curious inquiry. Indeed, the people on the WATER LANTERNS memories are too far away, the young we have not had such an experience, WATER LANTERNS the story in the only little knowledge from the grandmother in the Xu Tao fills hold back do not think about it.
Walking in the old city after midnight, I seem to appreciate a young woman washing Qianhua do. When all of the noisy sound of all receded, leaving only that water sound, insect sound; When all the lights were to go dark, leaving only the moonlight and that bringing a smooth stone floating down the road, marching speckled moonlight stone road, I have serious intentions of the number of the stars in the sky, one star, two stars, three stars ... ... I do not have such a cozy long time, and only in Lijiang, it can bring to my mind quiet; only after midnight Lijiang, I find that I seem to back in 2028 China, pure, beautiful.
Note: The 25-year-old for his birthday and to make, at Lijiang hundred Square Inn. Square Inn is located in Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang hundred Center (only two minutes away from the Square Street). Inn is a typical Naxi-style courtyard, due to the meticulous care of the owner Maggie, 40 square meters of garden vegetation abundance, a pot of tea in the garden, basking in the sun, watching the rolling clouds of heaven, to enjoy life's simple and comfortable. Mostly living in the Inn's around the world BACK PACKER, owner of Maggie's passion for the guests to the home of every one, like Maggie itself is a very fun person, because I like Lijiang again by chance, the logical operation of this Inn. Paoshang a pot of tea every morning and chat with Maggie seems to have become fixed in Lijiang-style. The inn can get a lot of travel on China's self-to-date information, this point so I am very happy, less a lot of trouble.
