Day 1: Old Town of Lijiang-Lijiang Ancient Love
Old Town of Lijiang has a long-standing reputation, and she has become a business card for Yunnan tourism. Tell me about her feelings about Old Town of Lijiang:
First of all, Old Town of Lijiang has a unique location, making full use of the mountains and rivers and the surrounding natural environment in the layout, with Xiangshan Mountain, Jinhong Mountain and Monkey Mountain in the west, and naturally connected with the open pingba in the east and south, which not only avoids the northwest cold wind, but also faces the southeast light source, forming an overall pattern of sitting by the northwest and the southeast of square eyes.
Secondly, the first impression of Old Town of Lijiang is that it has aura, and the river meanders down. The ancient city is built between such rivers, and the feeling of Zhong Ling&;s Yuxiu leaps above the ancient city.
Furthermore, when you first arrive in the ancient city, you will feel slow. Everyone basically starts to go to work and set up shop at 10-11 in the morning, and the pace of walking is slow, which is in line with the concept of slow pace and slow life advocated by Lijiang. In the lazy time, it is particularly pleasant and casual here.
In Lijiang, you can be a willful child, throw away the troubles of life, have fun and enjoy the warm sunshine here. Or take a hike to feel the beauty of natural mountains and rivers; You can also expect an unexpected love on an intoxicating night. Healing, having an affair, crossing, searching, being pure, being in a daze … these words may describe Lijiang well, but she still has many unknown charms, waiting for people who come here to discover them. However, Lijiang now feels more and more commercialized, losing its original tranquility and simplicity.
Yunnan is rich in wild edible fungi, and wild fungi mainly grow at an altitude of about 2,000-4,000 meters. Eating wild fungi is seasonal, and it is generally suitable in summer from June to August. There are also many places to eat wild mushrooms in Lijiang, but Xiaobian is also the first one [Stone Pot Fishing and Shanzhen Pavilion]. Cooking dishes with the store&;s special stone pot, accompanied by various rare mushrooms in Yunnan, is very delicious. In addition, the wild mushroom hot pot here is also very good. It is nourishing and delicious with local native chicken. It is one of the eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan to make soup with a steam stone pot and use a straw hat as the pot cover.
The decoration of Stone Pot Fishing and Shanzhen Pavilion is antique,
It&;s all made of wood, which conforms to the architectural structure of Lijiang. It has the flavor of Lijiang, and the space in the store is large, so it won&;t be crowded even if the store is full of seats. The waiters in the store are all wearing national costumes, which makes people feel more at home in Naxi. The waiters in the store are also very enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm is just right, which won&;t make people feel constrained.
In-store dishes are all kinds and fresh.
One of Lijiang&;s specialties, Naxi Ribs, came to Lijiang and said that they would go there. There is also this dish in Stone Pot Fishing and Shanzhen Pavilion. The first-class ingredients, coupled with the most traditional cooking techniques, make the ribs taste first-class.
Lijiang pork ribs are marinated with a large amount of salt, and some of them will be added with some auxiliary wine, sugar, spices, etc., and put in a barrel that can filter water. After about 15 days of pickling,The taste of salt has gone deep into the bone marrow, and the taste of bones and meat has melted together, and the water has been salted out in large quantities. At this time, the flavor of meat is not enough; After salting with salt, take it out and dry it in a shady and ventilated place for one to three months, and then its taste becomes &”;full of bacon&”;. The best ribs should be dry, firm, red in yellow, bright in color, free of mildew on the surface, and smell faint in meat.
For foodies, what a happy thing it is to come to such a full range of restaurants.

It is the core product of Lijiang Ancient Love Scenic Spot in 《丽江千古情》. Lijiang Qianguqing Scenic Spot was built by Song Cheng Performing Arts, the first listed performing arts company.

It presents a kind of peaceful and quiet houses, with ancient painted facades and mottled bluestone alleys, all of which tell the vicissitudes and profundities left by years.
Compared with Dayan&;s commercialization, Shuhe will be a little lighter. The small area of the ancient town, irregular roads, various shops, unhurried passers-by, and authentic food explain Shuhe&;s unique enjoyment. Walking along the main gate of Shuhe Ancient Town, you can walk to Sifang Listening Square, and there will be a bonfire party in the evening, which is very lively.
Speaking of Old Town of Lijiang and Shuhe Ancient Town, we have to mention the inns in Old Town of Lijiang and Shuhe Ancient Town. When you come to Lijiang, if you don&;t stay at the last inn and feel the slow life in Lijiang, you will come to Lijiang for nothing. Compared with Old Town of Lijiang, I prefer the quiet, irregular roads, various shops, unhurried passers-by, and out-and-out food of Shuhe Ancient Town, which explains the uniqueness of Shuhe. In Shuhe, one of my favorite inns is called Fantasy Inn, which is opened by several newly graduated college students.Yes. The boss is doing what he likes in Lijiang, feeling life and settling himself. Fantasy is a literary and fresh name. The decoration style of the inn is just like the name of the inn, which is literary, fresh and makes people feel very comfortable.

1. Ancient Tea-Horse Road: Dukezong Moonlight Ancient City
Duzong Moonlight Ancient City: Once the first stop of the ancient tea-horse road in Tibet, as a transportation hub, this ancient city has played an indispensable role in history. This is the place where caravans had a rest in ancient times. No matter whether they went to Tibet or came back from Tibetan areas, they could always regroup their teams and replenish food and supplies on the road. Therefore, although this ancient city looks a little hard and lonely in appearance, it has warmed countless caravans.
Since the ancient city fire in 2014, many streets in the ancient city have been rebuilt, and there are not as many streets to visit now as before. But the prayer wheel in the ancient city square must be visited! You can see a giant prayer wheel about 200 meters from the ancient city entrance.
Shangri-La Plaza is located at the foot of Guishan Park, Shangri-La County, Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It&;s an ugly piece of Little Square. When you pass by during the day, it&;s full of barbecue stalls and smoky. There&;s the world&;s largest prayer wheel here, which can be used for pious prayer. At night, it instantly turns into a happy and relaxing resort for the local Tibetans. Tibetans and tourists of all ethnic groups walk around the circle and dance with enthusiasm, enjoying themselves. On both sides of the square are Dijun Long March Museum and Diqing Museum respectively. In addition, there stands the largest prayer wheel in the world. The golden figure pierces the blue sky, just like the indomitable giant. It is said that reciting the six-character mantra three times around the scriptures will bring happiness and well-being. Moonlight Square is not big. Apart from the cultural landscape left by history, there are horses, yaks and Tibetan mastiffs for tourists to take pictures of.
Here, you must climb the stone ladder to the prayer wheel barrel, generally go up from the left, turn clockwise to the prayer wheel barrel, and then turn three times clockwise to the prayer wheel barrel.
