Who knows, Lijiang Ancient City really does not want to go! 🌆 As soon as I stepped into the ancient city, it was like an instant crossing back to ancient times. At the foot is the simple stone road, the road is the flowing water, the buildings on both sides of the Straits retain the original Naxi style, the moths and arches, the carved beams and painting buildings, every detail is full of historical charm. Walk along the river, feel the breeze, and watch the red lanterns and antique buildings reflected on the water. It is really super comfortable, and any shot is a blockbuster. 💃 The atmosphere of life in the ancient city is also very strong. Sifang Street is very lively, and during the day it is a bustling market, with a variety of specialty snacks and handicrafts. I tasted the local pork ribs hot pot and chicken bean jelly powder. The taste is absolutely amazing, and the aftertaste is endless. In the evening, there will be a bonfire party on Sifang Street. Everyone dances around the bonfire. The atmosphere is super hi, and the distance between people is instantly closer. 🎇 Lijiang Ancient City after nightfall is even more unique. The bar street is brilliantly lit, music and laughter are intertwined, lively but not noisy. Find a clear bar to sit down, order a cocktail, listen to the singer's affectionate singing, look at the night view of the ancient city outside the window, the fatigue of the day has disappeared. 🚶♀️ If you want to avoid the crowds and explore the quiet beauty of the ancient city, go to those deep alleys. There are relatively few tourists in the alleys, and occasionally you can see local residents sitting leisurely at the door to bask in the sun and chat. Here, time seems to have slowed down, so that you can truly feel the unique charm of Lijiang Ancient City. The only dissatisfaction is that the price of accommodation in the ancient city will be higher in the peak season, and because it is a wooden structure house, the sound insulation effect is not particularly good. But it doesn't affect my love for it, Lijiang Old Town is really a place worth going again!
The ancient city of Lijiang Lijiang is a place where many ethnic groups live together. In addition to the Han nationality, there are 12 ethnic minorities and 22 ethnic minorities living here for generations. Lijiang is a famous tourist city with three world heritage sites: the World Cultural Heritage Lijiang Old Town, the World Natural Heritage Three Parallel Rivers, and the World Memory Heritage Naxi Dongba Ancient Books and Documents.

"Lijiang Eternal Love" reveals the Naxi people's creation and the blood and tears of the caravans. "Lijiang Love Song" allows you to experience the customs of Yunnan's ethnic minorities. Touch antiques on Tea and Horse Street, and witness ethnic minority flash mobs at Caravan Square. Feeding koi is a symbol of Naxi auspiciousness, while learning about Mosuo marriage at the Walking Marriage Bridge. Enjoy thrilling fire dance performances at the Cultural Square, and experience the intangible cultural heritage of copperplate engraving for a sense of accomplishment. This isn't just a quick tour; it's a journey into the soul of Lijiang!
The stunning "Lijiang Eternal Love" performance is a must-see! The stage effects are incredible! The "Lijiang Love Song" live-action volcanic eruption is incredibly realistic. Stroll through Tea and Horse Street, savoring yak skewers and buying tie-dye items. The embarrassment of grabbing hydrangeas at the Caravan Square is hilarious. Feeding koi carp at Nacuo Beach is a beautiful photo opportunity, and listening to folk songs in Dawa Village is incredibly relaxing. The Walking Marriage Bridge is covered in wish plaques. Transportation to the scenic area is convenient, with a free shuttle bus. It was a blast! Highly recommended!

Shuhe Ancient Town lived for nearly a year, there is a kind of feeling in the heart of the eyebrows, perhaps called "Shuhe feelings", a quiet and pleasant quiet. All the beauty is probably hidden in the mottled bluestone road, floating in the smoke of Naxi small courtyard, in the flowing water under the Qinglong Bridge. Shuhe Ancient Town is where I have lived many times. This is the hustle and bustle of the ancient city of Lijiang. Time seems to be slower here. Life is like the process you want to process. In the morning, I opened the wooden window of the inn and saw the old man Naxi walking through the alley with the horse, and the sound of the horseshoe stepping on the slate was crisp and gentle; Sitting on the stone steps of the Quartet Tingyin Square in the afternoon, watching Naxi girl embroider Dongbawen in the sun, the wind with the coolness of Yulong Mountain and the aroma of Naxi; walking along the Qinglong River in the evening, the lanterns lit up, the river reflected the light, and even the air became soft. It is unintentionally slack-the locals playing chess in the old teahouse will not care about your eye, the handmade silversmith at the corner is focused on the pattern, like my Gazi, many dogs are lazy to lie at the door, to the tourists who are too lazy to lift their eyes. Here, you don't have to chase the scenery, just walk slowly, feel the calm and peace that is infiltrated by time, like a cup of warm tea, the first taste is flat, but the aftertaste is long. Because I like Shuhe, I took care of the two inns. Mr. Song said that they were all high-standard services. Haha, I cleaned the room for the guests and made the bed and sweeped the floor. I feel very happy. Witness the life of Gazi in the left and right inn in Shuhe Ancient Town, and feel the message of the guest in the message book of Jixiang View Inn.
Yushuhe Ancient Town, I met another beautiful Lijiang before coming to Lijiang, I wandered in various travel guides, I don't know which ancient town to go to first. Finally, I decided to punch in Shuhe Ancient Town first. It turns out that this choice is simply too wise! The ancient charm is long, quiet and comfortable. As soon as you step into the ancient town of Shuhe, you seem to step into a world forgotten by time. Most of the buildings here maintain the simple Naxi style, with blue tiles and white walls. Walking on the winding stone road, you can clearly feel the traces of the years. Compared to other popular ancient towns, there are not many tourists here, and without the bustling crowds and noisy croaking, everything seems so quiet and peaceful. Find a bench by the river and sit down, watching the flowing water, occasionally a few ducks swim past, at that moment, the impetuousness of the heart was calmed instantly, just want to enjoy this tranquility quietly. The beautiful water view, picturesque water in Shuhe Ancient Town, is really a highlight. The water in Jiuding Longtan is crystal clear, reflecting the green trees and ancient buildings on the shore, like a natural ink painting. Walking along the river, weeping willows, the breeze blowing, the air is filled with fresh breath. The flying flower touching area is also very beautiful, the stream falls from a high place, splashing layers of water, shining in the sun, flashing golden light. Taking pictures here, any shot is a blockbuster, no filter is required. Rich culture, heritage classic There are many shops and studios in the ancient town that inherit Naxi culture. I walked into a Dongba paper workshop and witnessed the production process of Dongba paper. The complicated process and the focus of the craftsmen made me deeply impressed. There are many handicrafts made of Dongba paper, bookmarks and other handicrafts in the store, full of ethnic characteristics, I bought some as souvenirs. In addition, the Tea Horse Ancient Road Museum is not to be missed, the museum displays many cultural relics and materials related to the Tea Horse Ancient Road, through which I seem to see the figure of the Ma gang running on this ancient road, and have a deeper understanding of the history and culture of the Naxi people. The tip of the tongue is delicious and the aftertaste is endless. The food in Shuhe Ancient Town also made me full. I punched in the Apola ribs. The large pot of cured ribs hot pot was tight and salty. The side dishes in the pot were also full of the delicious taste of the soup. It was particularly enjoyable to eat. And Naxi grilled fish, the fish roasted outside the tender, plus a special sauce, spicy and delicious, a mouthful, full of happiness. By the way, be sure to try the local flower cake, freshly baked flower cake, the outer skin is crisp, the inner filling is sweet rose petals, the flower fragrance and wheat fragrance perfect blend, I ate several in one go. Convenient transportation, easy access It is very convenient to come from the ancient city of Lijiang. I chose to take the 11 bus. The fare is cheap. I can also enjoy the city scenery of Lijiang along the way. If the time is tight, you can also take a taxi, about 15 minutes to arrive, the cost is not expensive. Intimate suggestion, help you play 1. Come early in the morning, there are few people and beautiful scenery, and there is no need to queue for photos. 2. You can bargain when you buy handicrafts, which can save a lot of money. 3. The stone road is not very easy to walk, try to wear comfortable flat shoes. 4. Ancient town

Baisha Ancient Town is truly a wonderful place!
It's a tiny place, yet it embodies an indescribable sense of leisure.
The bluestone pavement is polished to a shine, and walking on it feels like stepping back in time. Wooden houses huddle crookedly on either side.
Bronze bells hanging from the eaves tinkle in the wind, as if greeting passersby.
Looking up, you can see Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, dazzlingly white on a sunny day, like a cream cake tucked against the horizon.
An old woman sits on the doorstep, embroidering, her thread dancing in the sunlight.
A silversmith swings his hammer, his silver bracelets still warm from the clinking sound.
The aroma of Yunnan small-grain coffee wafts from the corner cafe, mingling with the sweetness of freshly baked flower cakes, making you want to stop walking.
The best part is that time here moves a fraction slower than elsewhere. Dogs sunbathe in the middle of the road, and sparrows dare to peck at rice grains right in front of people.
Stop by any teahouse and you'll be able to enjoy a pot of tea until sunset. The owner won't rush you, and will even offer you a refill with a smile.
It's truly leisurely and relaxing!!
Lijiang Baisha Ancient Town: The tranquil Taoyuan under the snow-capped mountains, the most beautiful thing to come to Lijiang must come to Baisha Ancient Town to see! Here, I found the long-lost tranquility and comfort. It is really an unforgettable travel experience. I must give it to everyone! Historical charm: the ancient capital of Naxi, the ancient town of Baisha, has a history of thousands of years. As one of the important birthplaces of Naxi culture, strolling in it seems to hear the echo of history. The ancient buildings of the town of Baisha, like the Dabaoji Palace, the glazed palace, the moths and the corners, the carved beams and the painting buildings, are full of traces of the years, people can't help but sigh the exquisite skills of the ancient craftsmen. Shuttle in the ancient streets and alleys, touching the ancient walls, as if through time and space, and history came into an intimate contact, really shocking! Natural beauty: the poetic blend of snow-capped mountains and ancient towns It is very close to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Find a corner in the ancient town. You can see the magnificent snow-capped mountains as soon as you look up. The snow on the top of the mountain is shining in the sun, and the ancient town complements each other. Any shot is a blockbuster. When the weather is good, the sun is on the body, warm, the snow-capped mountains in front of you, the stone road at the foot, at that moment, I feel that all my troubles have been thrown out of the clouds. National customs: deep experience of non-legacy culture In the ancient town of Baisha, there are many non-legacy cultural heritage points. I went to experience the East Bazaar dyeing, and dyed a colorful cloth with my own hands. I felt full of accomplishment and deeply felt the charm of the traditional skills of the Naxi people. There is also bronze making, the masters' focus on the look and skill of the way, people admire. There is also exquisite embroidery, every needle and thread tell the story of the Naxi people. By the way, you must not miss the white sand murals, although the scale is not large, but each picture is lifelike, containing a deep cultural connotation, really is the treasure of Naxi art. Business atmosphere: just the right atmosphere of life compared with other popular ancient towns, Baisha ancient towns are just the right degree of commercialization. There are many interesting small shops on the street, with characteristic cafes and handicraft shops. There is no over-commercial noise and impetuousness, but there is still a strong atmosphere of life. I sat in a cafe for an afternoon, basking in the sun, drinking coffee, watching people coming and going outside, especially relaxed. The prices here are also very close to the people, don't worry about being slaughtered, it's really great! Food exploration: Naxi flavor on the tip of the tongue Food is also a highlight of Baisha Ancient Town. I tasted the chicken bean jelly powder of the net red grandmother, 5 yuan a bowl, the jelly is burnt and tender, the seasoning is hot and sour, and a spice called "mountain pepper" is added inside. It is slightly numb to the tip of the tongue, which is particularly enjoyable. There is also the rose steamed bun of the "Shantou Poet", which is oversized and the rose filling is sweet and not greasy. While eating steamed buns, while enjoying the scenery of the ancient town, it has a special taste. The casserole chicken is also very good, the chicken is tender and smooth, the potatoes are soft, and it is super satisfying to take a bite. Transportation guide: Convenient travel and easy arrival It is very convenient to come from Lijiang City. It takes about 20-30 minutes to take a taxi. The cost is about 30-50 yuan. You can also take the 6 bus. Although the time may be a little longer, you can Xin

If you dreamed of adventuring in a place full of fantasy and fairy tales when you were a child, then "Wild Country" is your dream paradise! This place is full of the wonderful ideas of artist Qiao Xiaodao. Various waste items are given new life to create a "fairy tale castle" exclusively for adults and children. Houses, aircraft, slides... Every place will amaze you, as if you have really entered the animation world of Hayao Miyazaki.
🎨 Features Overview:
1. Fantasy creative design: Various buildings are made of waste materials, such as spaceships, orange cats, robot cars, etc., and every corner is full of surprises and imagination.
2. Interactive experience: Adults and children can play freely in this "fairy tale castle", and slides and aircraft allow you to experience the unfinished dreams of childhood.
3. Healing the soul: Qiao Xiaodao hopes that Wild Country is a place for healing the soul, helping adults and children to find inner peace.
4. Integration with nature: Located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, the natural landscape and artistic architecture complement each other, giving you a double enjoyment of vision and soul.

6. Fantasy exploration experience: Each house has its own story and function, from poetry bookstore to slide library, each one stimulates your desire to explore.
Very suitable for children to play, also suitable for adults, many things are very artistic and old! Very unexpected and pleasant! I felt sad to see many books and things from previous years destroyed! From this, I gradually understood why the Snow Mountain Art Town went from being hot at the beginning to being cold later - because ideals and reality are always contradictory!

I bought the ticket very early, but the driver who picked me up at the airport said it was not as good as Landscape Love. I was actually nervous, but the kid was very engaged during the show, and the actors in several chapters were actually the same group of people, which was really hard. I was not as disappointed as I thought, I felt it was very good. But the waiting room is really hard to describe. The ticket position is very good, in the middle of the fourth row, Ctrip is great.
This package includes tickets for Lashi Lake Wetland Park and Lishui Jinsha Song and Dance Show, which is much cheaper than buying them separately. Lashi Lake can be entered by exchanging the QR code sent, and Lishui Jinsha Show can be entered by reporting the mobile phone number and name. Lashi Lake has beautiful scenery and is worth visiting, and Lishui Jinsha Show is also very exciting.

Dalushui Village, a hidden paradise nestled in Yunnan, China, enchants with its serene charm and lush landscapes. The village, embraced by emerald-green rice terraces, offers a captivating retreat where time seems to slow down. With its traditional architecture and the soothing melody of flowing water, Dalushui emerges as an idyllic haven, inviting travelers to immerse themselves in its tranquil beauty.
After going around the lake, Daluoshui Village is the closest to the lake. It is also the most convenient for eating and watching the bonfire party. The B&B we stayed in is like a small villa, which is absolutely close to the lake. I recommend Daluoshui as the first choice for accommodation, because some villages are far away from the lake, and eating, staying and traveling are not very convenient...
