Northwest Yunnan (1) that the plateau is called the ancient city of Lijiang
Lijiang is the first leg of this trip is the last stop, (Kunming, this transition point will not forget.) I do not know this famous ancient city is to let people love at first sight, or is it slowly fall into obsession, or has, Throughout, there is not an implicit and can not pierce the film, I lie in between Lijiang.
Lijiang's landscapes and buildings, full of distant conception of China may be the spirit of it, in fact, it has become very modern Western any more. Lijiang gives the greatest feeling is relaxed, it seems that one there, we agreed to remove the burden into the vulgar. If you have time, then better, you will leisurely very thorough: sitting idle in any one place in the sun, which can be Square Street, large stone bridge can be crowded or unfamiliar in any one of the alley where the shuttle at the Pro-River Any one BAR to sit down to a tea, you can also learn in the "walk in Lijiang," Lane says: Ten Things Old Town of Lijiang. Under the sun no longer as "walking in Lijiang" This map, as downright petty bourgeoisie had. (Gentlemen read it to understand.) A person in Lijiang, it is easy to fall into a daze of the situation, when I was wandering all day, and occasionally sit down, the insurance variable may look free, and looked sluggish. Man is a landscape, in Lijiang, we unconsciously complied with its rules of conduct, to savor the scenery is also doing the landscape, so let me doubt: props and Where is the difference between the true.
Night ride from Kunming road, on the second day morning around 7:00 it to Lijiang. 7:00, for Lijiang labors to get up in terms of arrival time, 7:00 before the Old Town of Lijiang a quiet, he was softly shining sun, the wide Qingshi Road and street-side huts, clean and warm, vibrant red flower green , unlike the city woke up the morning of the decadent Fen Dai Shi does not look like.
The three of us and after going through water tankers into the city and saw the familiar online names appear in the real world 11: Prague, MAMAFU, Dashiqiao ... ... Mohr-McClune, a woman followed us along the way annoying, but in the end, we not only live she introduced the inn, but also pack her family's Xiali to Yulong, reasonable prices none, which thanks to Gao Xiang, worthy SALES, bargain well and basic necessities along the way is really worry-free. It was said that each went to Lijiang recommend anyone who lived in their own inn. This is indeed true, and the Inn Lijiang, Lijiang small bar, Lijiang, a small restaurant, casually into which a basically would feel very comfortable, not as many tourist attractions mixed facilities. Or would like to say that we live in the inn, "the ancient city of holidays", and the Great Stone Bridge Inn is almost near the water the sea, where a good location! Was often standing in front of the wooden bridge on the film landscape. We decided, because there is an inside courtyard, there is lax and some bamboo, inns little above the two rooms, the following two rooms, two living room, all white quilt and pillows, (beginning to show the spirit of the West, and ) looks simple and comfortable, 25 yuan per person per night, before and after a four-night stay, how many live out some feelings come. Young boss few words can be very friendly and Wei Ren.
Lijiang has been heard of bad days, many days not seen Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and when the rain when the sunny, and we watched that day, I do not know the day went to Jade Dragon, or is it the next day to go, not knowing the next day would be better, or worse. Watching the sun rise gradually stronger, then today it, then empties into the Xiali, drove towards the Yulong Snow Mountain is still Yunliwuli. (60 per round trip, cheap bar, it is off-season prices.)
First went to the farthest yak Ping, very far away, while thinking about "value", while some sorry again. Scenery on the road is still good, cloud, such as cotton, in the several kilometers of land, without looking up days, and days, just in front of you; clouds, in parallel with you. For the clouds suspended in the air, look incredible, and always very curious.
Rained a muddy mountain road, riding on the Maoniuping tired, and perhaps take the cable car a little better, Maoniuping introduced beautiful, beautiful pictures, there is a paragraph that reads: "standing Maoniuping, the Yulong Snow seems to stick it on your face. "This remark really made me chest tightness, to the Maoniuping, only a mass of fog posted in my face, Yulong Snow Mountain, is still in that group, after thick fog. However, the first saw Maoniuping, or think it is very beautiful, green and very pure, breathe clean air. Plank road along one side, all Tibetan diet. Quite far out along the boardwalk, but is getting stronger cold mist, and finally even the grass in front of places are covered with gray mist, forget it, sitting next to the shed to the yak milk and potatoes, sigh so beautiful The Yak be locked in the nose makes riding, drink its milk, eating its meat, bloody skull has been placed outside the air-dried, ground into what should yak bones strong bone powder, activists noted will certainly be distressed dead .
Return on the road, baishuihe paused, I heard in artificial water Daoshi green, there is not much meaning. Bent by large cableway on the Yulong Snow Mountain, even if this is the day it, would also like to feel the snow on the mountain. Such a stupid idea, no one would agree with, so we sailed out of the area, too Baisha murals are too lazy to take a look, the sun and good up, and my heart is very lost, go back to look at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain where the fog is still thick.
Xinhua street to eat dinner at that stream cross bars and restaurants are all that part of the road to xintaizi on the shore near water, covered with red and white, or green and white checkered tablecloths, all kinds of nationality of the people have , lanterns are set with one of downtown, the famous highland city, why it sometimes does so like a resort? Found a relatively secluded restaurant, eating Naxi baked, (Yum!) Looking downstream drift of a lotus lantern lights, (beautiful!) A time out in the hazy smoke and mirrors, the total want to clearly grasp the feelings of Lijiang may have more and more blurred.
The second day, or alone, or with companions strolling together in the city, near a hundred bridges Yibin, Sichuan snacks, inside the hot and sour noodle delicious. Square Street also've spent, and ethnic characteristics seen a lot of things, where the standard dress is a girl's head tie a Naxi handwoven cloth of the turban, shoulders Phi a national pattern of wool shawls, plus a backpack of the same type , wear turquoise earrings, wrist 34 different colors of local bracelet do. I saw such a standard of tourists sitting in front of Banko floor. To see so many girls are pitching a square, it is ready to make trouble, if I returned to the city's street wear to go out at home can also be used when cleaning. Lunch in the "97" to eat, do not feel how good. Night and Xiaofeng Yang bosses of small and eat together in the yard, Xiaofeng burning food, a beautiful young 17-year-old Naxi lovely gentle girl, small and also very young, Bai boy, no one will be in the yard when the write diaries, all have simple shy smile. Table on a dish is made with flowers, and wrapped flour, oil inside a deep-fried, delicious, forgetting that what is spent.
Xuan Ke did not listen, consistent lack of interest, I think of things along the way agreed there are many, including almost every meal must point dried tomato scrambled eggs and potatoes stir-wire.
Lijiang, I am trying to say it, where artists gathered and their small studio, where there are record stores, selling a great range of rock types of CD, there's MENU in English and Chinese control, Chinese and Western food. Lijiang exquisite, beautiful, bringing together elements of fashion, so it is only a place to make your mind to rest and relax, to say that their minds were to be shock and sustenance, Lijiang, but also far from enough. Or, now Lijiang has been impossible.
