Meet Lijiang again
Tell us about this trip
I can't remember the first time I've been to Lijiang, but I remember coming once a year.
No matter what others say about how commercial this place in Lijiang is, I still like to come to Lijiang to lie down a corpse, in a daze, and to pet the dog.
Although the ancient street is very noisy, there is still a peaceful world.
After staying in the city for a long time, I always want to come to Lijiang to live my own small life.
There are countless cities in China that are mainly tourism, but many places are one-time sightseeing, and the cities that people want to go to must be very attractive in all aspects. And for me, the place that can make me go again is Lijiang in the south of Caiyun, Lijiang has many deep memories for me, since I first arrived in Lijiang four years ago, almost every year after that, I will come to walk this familiar ancient city.
I don't know when it started, Lijiang has become a representative of sexual encounters, but to this day, to think again in Lijiang encounters opportunities are relatively small, now more people are coming to Lijiang to live in the inn, basking in the sun in a daze, cool to go out to the nearby attractions to visit, tired can also drink tea and read books in the homestay inn, in Lijiang, I never go to the attractions, always in a most comfortable posture to see the clouds and clouds.
On the square of Sifang Street, the Naxi people sing and dance, and the unique dances of ethnic minorities can always attract tourists to surround the three floors of the three floors. However, it seems that the performers who come to see it every year are different, and this year there are obviously more aunts and mothers of the Naxi ethnic group.
When I want to give myself a vacation, I come to Lijiang.
No matter how strong the commercial atmosphere here is, the rhythm of the ancient city is still so lazy compared to the city. As the river of time moves forward, the people I met and the stories that happened in this town are gone.
In this special 2020 back to Yunnan, and then back to Lijiang, in addition to looking for the original memory, but also to relax, this trip is not for attractions, just for a leisurely holiday.
Some places, in the dark, will always come again.
Big Yan Flower Lane
This time in the ancient city of Lijiang, I also found a new place, Dayan Flower Lane, which is a new Internet celebrity photo spot. Bougainvillea blooms, folk songs come out, and you meet the real Lijiang in DayanHua Lane. In fact, in the first two years of coming here, I have not seen the Big Yanhua Lane, which should also be a new Internet celebrity attraction in the past two years, adding a new bright color to the already very mature Lijiang Ancient Town.
Dayan Flower Lane is located at the north gate of the ancient city, with the theme of meeting Lijiang, a cultural experience ancient alley integrating tourism, entertainment, leisure and cultural experience. At the north gate of the ancient city, you can see a large plaque that says Dayan Flower Lane, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a new Internet celebrity punch card in Lijiang, because it is decorated with a lot of photo elements.
This painted staircase is the most obvious place after entering the flower alley, and the pattern on it should be a symbol of the naxi folk culture, and there are many people taking pictures here. When I was taking pictures, I happened to pass by a cleaning aunt dressed in local ethnic clothes, so I invited her to sit down and take a group photo together, for me, instead of being beautiful alone, it was better to integrate into the locals.
All kinds of wishing cards are hung on one side of the wall, and the tourists who come to Lijiang almost cover all types, couples, families, close friends, or celibacy, but they all have a common feature, that is, they are full of literary and artistic feelings, and the wishing cards can write down the blessings and literary sentences that we can't hold back in our hearts, forever hanging in a corner of Lijiang Dayanhua Lane.
Dayan Flower Lane is a very artificial attraction, full of artificial decorations, there are people who like it, there are also people who complain. However, here I made an eye of Lijiang, which is the panoramic view of the ancient city of Lijiang, so that you do not have to buy tickets to the Lion Rock to see the panorama of the ancient town, and the high platform of the eye of Lijiang can see the whole view of the ancient city.
Dayan Flower Lane is also a paradise for folk musicians, in the summer, there is a folk music festival held in the square of Flower Lane, when there are many people gathered here, a group of folk musicians full of poetry and far away gathered here, so that tourists forget the troubles of the world. Nowadays, the stage is still preserved, and occasionally some singers stationed in the ancient town play the piano and sing here, they are not necessarily to make money, but more to hope that their talents can be displayed on the stage.
Dayan Flower Lane is still dominated by flowers, the most common is the bougainvillea, which has become the symbol of Lijiang. If you come here in early spring, you can still see cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, and wisteria flowers, which is when the alley is the most beautiful.
Lijiang Bo Xin Yun She
Every time before leaving Lijiang, I will take a good look at the inn homestay, after all, in the ancient city, living comfortably is the most important. And this time, with just one glance, I took a fancy to the Bo Xin Yun She at the foot of the ancient city of Lion Rock, probably attracted by its copywriting and photos, and I made a quick decision.
One side of the courtyard
Bo Xin Yun She, rather than the inn homestay, I prefer to call it the courtyard, located in the ancient city of Dayan Mufu, close to the square street, but not noisy at all, outside noisy, and it enjoys the peace of the party alone. It is a 10-minute walk from the ancient city gate, the ancient city can not be driven in, the heart of Uncle Yang will push a tricycle to pick up people to pick up luggage.
Walking into the courtyard of The Bo Xin Yun She's house, the tall Chinese garden and Naxi style really shocked me a little, because it was too big! You know, the inns I came to the ancient city before were small, because the competition in Lijiang Inn was fierce, so the whole was relatively small, but the first impression of Bo Xin Yun She was that it was large, the public space was very large, the yard was very large, and the room was also very large.
Bo Xin Yun She is more like a garden, flowers and trees, birds and flowers, there is a swimming pool in the swimming pool, here the two pools seem to be together, in fact, separate, the outer circle is a swimming pool, the middle is a swimming pool for guests to swim. In the hot summer, guests can cool off in the pool. At night, the dim lights are reflected, and the water ripples, which is particularly beautiful. Water is like the soul of the Bo Xin Yun She, and in every Po Xin home, there is such a water platform.
The yard is planted with many succulents and colorful flowers, full of vitality. Step by step, flowers, looking back at the scenery, living here is like living in a garden. Surrounded by flowers, the photo shoots are very beautiful, and the girls must have loved it. When I took pictures in the courtyard, many tourists thought that this was also a scenic spot to come in and take pictures, and the inn was also very welcome.
A home of peace of mind
In The Bo Xin Yun She, I felt like I was back at my own home, and the staff here called us little sisters and little brothers, which suddenly brought us closer. There is no specific front desk here, not a traditional hotel inn, but into the yard of their own home. I especially like the area of the atrium, a whole wall of books, reading books and drinking tea, especially comfortable.
The style of the log seems to be very Jiangnan, but it also integrates a lot of local Naxi style, and the home of The Heart is so naturally integrated into the local cultural environment, in many details, you can see the intention of the design, whether it is the tea table or the shape of the light, it is through the courtyard owner's pursuit of quality.
The atrium is also an open restaurant, which may not be visible at first glance. In addition to the regular types, there are rice noodles, baits, roasted milk fans, Lijiang rice dumplings and other local specialties, on the first morning in Lijiang, I ate the bait and milk fan that I had in mind, and the memory appeared the scene of my first visit to Lijiang.
When the weather is good, the terrace on the top floor can overlook the Yulong Snow Mountain and the panoramic view of the ancient town, and in the evening I like to go to the top floor to blow the wind.
There is also a large mirror on the terrace, which can take the feeling of the mirror of the sky, of course, when the weather is good, if the weather is not good, then find a way to take pictures.
An exclusive master bedroom
In fact, whether a homestay or inn can give people a good impression, in the end, it comes down to the room, after all, that is where we really stay and rest, and the exclusive master bedroom of the heart makes me feel a different VIP treatment.
I live in a single-family courtyard three flowers, the name is taken from the Naxi festival three flowers festival, the room is very high, to say a few surprises to me small highlights
1⃣️ Linen slippers and bamboo fiber towels are available to take home
2⃣️ The wooden comb is a peach comb personally selected by the founder Mr. Shoko and can also be taken home
3⃣️ Plateau weather is relatively dry, there is a humidifier in the room
4⃣️ Towels have a special dryer
5⃣️ Facial cleanser, hand sanitizer, laundry detergent, body lotion are readily available
6⃣️ There is a complete set of tea making tools on the coffee table, and the small friends who like to drink tea are in line with their appetites
In the Room of Chinese Elegant Style, there is a small design that makes my eyes shine, that is, this bedside lamp, the shape of the round fan is retro and elegant, the girlish style is coming, and this veil is too matched, I want to enter a same style.
There are two handwashing stations, so that the family can wash their faces and brush their teeth at the same time, don't worry about grabbing the position, and the marble back panel suddenly raises the style.
The bathroom of the room is relatively open, there is a small bathtub on the side, convenient for people who like to soak in the bath, the side is also equipped with a bathtub cover, bath salt, very sweet, the towel dryer on the side is really my favorite.
There is also a button next to the bedside table to control the Bluetooth speaker, and as soon as you enter the house and plug in the door card, you will play melodious music. I have to say that the music really has a kind of magic, and the tired body relaxes in an instant.
Staying in Lijiang is so comfortable that in addition to wandering around the ancient city these days, it is empty in the room, which is the holiday rhythm of Lijiang!
An ancient city
Lijiang in September, just in time to meet the rainy season, walking in the ancient city in the drizzle, but also have a taste. In the ancient city, I like to sweep the streets with my camera, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, there are still people eating, probably this is the rhythm of Lijiang.
The flowers that can be seen everywhere are not as vigorous as in June, but they also dot the ancient city with vivid colors. Even in this special 2020, there are many people in the ancient city, probably like me, who like to come to Lijiang to live a slow life of seclusion.
Travel is not a hurry, in the ancient city of Lijiang to choose a comfortable place, in the Heart of the Clouds, watch the flowers blossom and fall, the clouds cirrus cloud Shu, here time seems to pass very slowly, do everything slowly and leisurely, and seems to pass quickly, do not want to be separated from it.
Sakura Restaurant
Wandering through the ancient streets and alleys of Lijiang, indulging in the carnival in the bar, and addictive daze under the blue sky are where you return to yourself.
The night in Lijiang always fascinates me.
Sleepless, night in Lijiang, the ancient town of the brightly lit restaurants, crowded. The breeze is blowing, the coolness is gusting, and the big research after the night is the most comfortable time, and it is also the real appearance of Lijiang.
Walking on the bluestone slab road, unlike the previous two years, the hand drums of the little treasures on the street are no longer there, and you must know that this is the most popular music in Lijiang before. The delicacy of the snack may be the taste of Fan Bingbing's price Fengjie, but many times it is not to buy anything, it may be that you want to go to the street to see the wind.
But just this year, Lijiang has caught fire because of a place, it is a unique cherry blossom restaurant.
It is not so much a restaurant as it is the hottest punch point in Lijiang this year, and it is actually caught on fire by Douyin. Flowers cover the whole river, and at night there are yellow lights, which is very petty.
The restaurant has two or four seats, but even if you don't eat, you can come in and visit at will, and the flowers on the periphery and the wooden tables and chairs in the room create a natural and elegant environment.
There are a lot of Internet celebrities punching cards here, almost step by step, and I have to sigh that the boss here is really beautiful. And understand marketing, the whole ancient town is the most people here, almost many people have been difficult to walk.
The restaurant in the ancient city is no longer victorious in taste, but also in the environment, the restaurant decoration is beautiful and bright, naturally there are a lot of people who will come because of the photo, but to say the taste, I really dare not compliment, the restaurant outside the ancient city I think it is more delicious.
Coming out of the cherry blossom restaurant, without walking a few steps to the oil paper umbrella street, according to the little sister of the inn, this oil paper umbrella street is also recently new, a whole street is hung with oil paper umbrellas, the umbrella surface outlines different patterns, in the light of the reflection, beautiful and vivid. If it rains lightly in the uncertain weather of Lijiang, you can still hide from the rain.
Baisha Ancient Town
I have walked through Dayan and been to Shuhe, but few people have heard of Baisha, and I am not talking about white sand, but Baisha Ancient Town.
Lijiang Ancient City consists of three parts, Dayan Ancient Town, Shuhe Ancient Town, and Baisha Ancient Town. Many tourists go to Lijiang Ancient Town to take a turn around Dayan Ancient Town. But for people who like quiet and primitive, Baisha Ancient Town is the best choice.
Why is it said that Dayan is not the Dayan of the year, it is because tourists go more, commercial things have risen, local residents have withdrawn, will become what it is today, and Baisha Ancient Town, the original ecology, is not disturbed by people, is the most ancient town with Naxi heritage.
Out of interest in Lijiang Dongba culture, but also out of want to contact the more pristine Naxi ancient villages and more pure Naxi people, I came to Baisha from Dayan.
Although it is only 10 kilometers away from Dayan, Baisha Ancient Town is obviously much more primitive, and the most famous Family of Tusimu in Lijiang, the most famous in Dayan, originates from Baisha Ancient Town. The ancient town is located at the foot of the Yulong Snow Mountain, and if you look up from anywhere in the ancient town, you can see the cold face of the Yulong Snow Mountain.
For the overly popular Dayan Ancient Town, Baisha is an extremely quiet corner. There is no hustle and bustle, no paper drunk gold fans, walking into baisha ancient town, will give people a quiet force. It has not been developed, and everything has been perfectly maintained as the simplicity and tranquility of the Naxi ancient town.
The old people sat on the side of the road and chatted while selling vegetables, and they did not sell vegetables so seriously, as if they were just going through the motions, because they relied on their children to basically have no worries about food and clothing. The town has little contact with the outside world, and still maintains a way of life of farming and weaving, and its living conditions are more leisurely than that of Dayan.
Before coming, I heard that Baisha is most famous for tie-dyeing, where tie-dye cloth can be seen everywhere to dry outside, tie-dyeing technology belongs to the folk unique dyeing and drying methods, because many households make a living from this, it constitutes the most beautiful landscape of Baisha Ancient Town.
Tie-dye is a traditional and unique dyeing process in China, with the thread in the printed fabric twisted into a knot, and then printed and dyed, and then the stranded into a knot of the line removed, there will be a variety of patterns, it is said that when knotting each flower, even if there are thousands of flowers, there will be no same appearance after dyeing, a very unique artistic effect.
Tie-dye patterns are relatively simple and simple, such as butterflies, plums, begonias, etc.; there are also whole patterns, such as the "caviar valerian" with small white dots, and the "agate valerian" with slightly larger dots. Today, this traditional skill has been inscribed on the National Intangible Heritage, and several tie-dye houses in Baisha Ancient Town have also taken on the mission of inheritance.
There are also experience activities in the tie-dye shop here, which allows you to tie-dye a small piece of cloth in a short period of time, but I went a little late, and after the best drying time, I can only take a photo with the dyeing cloth and chat with the boss.
The tie-dye in Baisha Ancient Town is mostly using banlan root and blue indigo as dye, yes, it is the banlan root that is usually used to treat colds. Compared with chemical dyes, these plant dyes not only have a natural color, never fade, do not hurt the fabric and are durable, but more importantly, there is no adverse stimulation to the human body, and the skin can also play an anti-inflammatory health role, which is very comfortable to wear.
Tie-dye patterns seem simple, but in fact, they all have beautiful metaphors, such as wind and snow, rich and rich, and so on. Asked the boss, pure blue tie-dye cloth as long as more than 200, if you want to color it will be calculated separately, but the price of this blue cloth alone, is simply a paradise-like town only have a conscience price!
There are few tourists in the ancient town, walking on the bluestone slabs, only a piece of cloth dyed with various colors fluttering in the wind, showing the vitality of the ancient town in the tranquility.
Every time you walk into a dyeing room, it is like entering a tie-dye museum, these colorful cloths are touched by the sun, telling the essence of ancient craftsmanship and the history of dyeing skills, and the spirit of craftsmen is quietly passed on in the quaint town.
The houses in Baisha Ancient Town have maintained their original appearance, but the inside will be renovated according to the needs of the owner, even if the outside looks broken, there are still many elements representing the Naxi ethnic group.
Order a cup of homemade yogurt at a street café (don't ask me why I drink yogurt at a coffee shop...). ), look up at the dappled walls hanging on the color of the dye cloth, dye cloth against the wind slapping each other, birds rest on the beam leisurely humming a small song, this ancient rhyme in a little noisy or quite energetic, as soon as you sit down, you really don't want to move.
Wenhai, The Secret Land of Lijiang
After hearing too many negative cases of being tragically caused by the lashi hai pit, I finally decided to escape the crowded sea of lashihai and divert to another beautiful lake that was rarely visited, Wenhai. It's like the secret place of Lijiang, where there are fewer people than the three strands of water.
It takes an hour to drive from the ancient city to Wenhai, during which you have to cross a mountain, so many of them are chartered cars, or you can rent a motorcycle to ride over, of course, I have seen the riding with my own eyes. It is precisely because of traffic troubles that people who come to Lijiang to play rarely visit here, and they miss the most beautiful flower sea in Lijiang.
Wenhai belongs to the Lashihai Plateau Wetland Reserve, but there are many fewer people than the Lahai people, and it is a lake that looks out of season, on the ridge of the Yulong Snow Mountain at 3,000 meters+ in the yulong mountain. Autumn and winter are abundant periods, and migratory birds inhabit them. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Reflected in the lake, quiet as a fairyland, spring and summer is the dry water period, the grass is long and flying, and the flowers bloom, as if you are in a sea of flowers.
Everything in Lijiang is closely related to the Tea Horse Ancient Road, as is the natural landscape of Wenhai, which was once one of the main routes of the Tea Horse Ancient Road, where the horse gang often stayed here to herd horses, and now there are more cattle herded by local residents.
Because of the high altitude, the flowering period of Wenhai is only a little more than a month in a year, which is now the late spring and early summer. The mountains are full of all kinds of flowers, Wenhai has become a sea of flowers, and the clusters of brightly colored flowers are dotted among the mountains, which are very beautiful. I went by coincidence, just in June, when the meadows were blooming, which was perfect for taking pictures.
There are also a few scattered houses on one side of the meadow, empty and quiet, and there are almost no people, so there is no need to worry about finding a photo angle, because no one is blocking any angle!
Blooming on the meadow today are primroses, one of the eight famous flowers in Yunnan, a patch of purple-red color, which can be seen from a distance on the winding mountain highway and scattered on the grass like a rainbow. After getting out of the car, one foot of grass and one foot of cow dung stepped on the lake, looking at the primroses up close, a string of strings competing to bloom, as if cherishing the hard-won spring.
The grassland is stocked with herds of cattle and horses, and although there are flowers in spring and summer, the lake does not rise, so it is impossible to enjoy the blue water. So Wenhai this place has to come twice, once for the flowers and once for the blue lake.
Wenhai is a secret place in Lijiang, empty and lonely, the heavens and the earth are vast, at this moment, the little me stands on this big earth, and the little one also wants to have a big dream.
Dali, the ancient city and the Erhai Sea
If Lijiang is the capital of Yunnan, then Dali is the city of healing. I still remember seven years ago when I was an ignorant girl, the first time I went to Yunnan, I came to the ancient city of Dali, the unique house of the Bai people, the aroma of the roasted milk fan in the ancient city, let me deeply remember this city, and then, after hurriedly walking through Dali again, I knew that I would come again.
The ancient city, Cangshan, Erhai, Dali, full of romantic elements, has become my favorite place to stay in Yunnan, sometimes do nothing, just look at this Erhai sea feel very comfortable.
The ancient city of Dali, located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountains, was the capital of the ancient Nanzhao and Dali states. The temperature is suitable, the architectural style is quaint, and the roadside is full of flowers and flowers.
Looking back at this Erhai Sea, this time is probably the most regrettable thing, that is, I did not encounter the Erhai Sea on a sunny day, and I did not see the blue lake surface of the Erhai Sea, perhaps in order to make me regret the next time.
To say how to play in Erhai, the young people's way of playing is of course to rent a sports car to run around the Erhai, erhai's ring road is very good, the road conditions are flat, even for novice little white drivers, it is also very good to drive. Especially looking at this cool sports car one after another, all of them are handsome and beautiful women standing, no wonder I am wondering how there are no young people in the ancient city, it turns out that it is all here.
Many people come to Erhai to take beautiful Internet celebrity photos, and it is probably this two years, a place in Erhai has been excavated by photographers into a place for Internet celebrities to take photos, digging up the color of the deer lying mountain, also known as cliff shoals, you need to walk down a small mountain road, there are many elements that can be photographed below, there are caves, there are abandoned window frames.
But! When I went, I happened to encounter the rainy season in Dali, and the water level of the Erhai Sea rose, flooding the road to the "cave". And when someone shoots here, there are countless people who come to punch in the same photo, so that there are people queuing up at the window frame, and people keep coming, can only quickly shoot two pictures, the experience is not very good.
Later, I only took a few photos on the Erhai Sea, but because the weather was always sunny and cloudy, I could only take two pictures in a hurry when the sun was shining.
In fact, if you don't stop to take pictures, self-driving Erhai East Road is the most comfortable, galloping on this endless coastal highway, the vast skyline, is the city can not feel the open. The breeze blew away my thoughts, but it made me enjoy the moment even more.
Leaving Dali is not the end, but the beginning, and the next time I hope to see Dali under a sunny day.
The most beautiful nunnery
In every city in China, there must be a temple in this place, whether it is a large developed city or a small countryside in the suburbs, there is at least one temple for people to pray for. In everyone's cognition, the temples are full of incense and solemnity, but above the Cangshan Mountain in Dali, Yunnan, there is a very interesting temple, this temple has no one burning incense, spotless, but unexpectedly decorated with many different kinds of flowers, and even specially designed these colorful potted plants placement.
This romantic temple is the Silent Illumination Temple in Dali, Yunnan, which is more like a garden than a temple. Although the place is not large, it is full of flowers, whether it is on the side of the road or under the beams, it is full of flowers and succulents of various colors, if there is no bodhisattva and Buddha present, you may really think that you are in the garden, not in the temple. Known as the most literary nunnery in China, There is no solemnity of the general temple, there is no incense, and it is more like a courtyard where you can fiddle with flowers and plants at will.
Originally built in the early Ming Dynasty, after its destruction, it was rebuilt during the Republic of China period, and a variety of plants were planted around the temple, and the air was fresh and elegant everywhere. In Addition to flowers, a very obvious feature can be found in The Silent Illumination Temple, that is, there are a lot of succulents raised here, and in the temple, succulents account for the most. Because of the excellent location of Shudra-an, it can be exposed to plenty of sunlight. The climate of Yunnan with a large temperature difference between morning and evening provides a better growth environment for succulents, so the succulents of Shunzhao'an grow full and healthy.
It is said that there are more than 200 kinds of succulents in Shudra-an, each of which is different in size, color, and form, just like visiting a succulent exposition. On the ground is a variety of succulent potted plants, hanging beams are Yunnan seasonal flower potted plants, many tourists are in order to see these flowers and succulents and specially go to the Silent Illumination Temple, to know that this nunnery is located in the middle of the mountainside, the car to drive up after people have to walk a little longer, even if it is more troublesome, come to enjoy the flowers of tourists or endlessly.
Since there is no incense, the air and environment here are very good, the whole temple is spotless, very clean, but also does not lose the solemnity and elegance of the temple. Towering ancient trees, flowers and plants everywhere, full of greenery, people call this the most beautiful and romantic temple in China. Many people may ask, why is there no picture here that other temples have burned incense to worship the gods and incense is flourishing?
Shantideva is actually a nunnery, and the master in it once said that the Buddha lacked nothing, and that what he cared about was not incense, but a pious heart, so he did not practice and worship the Buddha on weekdays, so naturally he did not burn incense. However, for tourists who come from afar, there is a house in The Silent Illumination Temple that is also specially used for burning incense, if there are tourists who want to burn incense, they can go to the house to burn incense and worship the Buddha, but the group is not encouraged to burn incense, and it is no wonder that the Silent Illumination Temple will be so clean.
In addition, because the temple is in the mountains, there are a large number of plants around and in the temple, and there are also forests nearby, burning incense will cause fires or cause mountain fires, which is very dangerous, so it is not suitable for burning incense. Surprisingly, the construction and design of the houses in the temple were all arranged by the nuns in the temple, who went around picking up stones and wood to build one house after another, using all natural materials or some old things, so the nunnery would be so full of age.
The flowers and trees that you see in the Shunzhao-an now are not achieved overnight, they have been planted and raised little by little over the years, and after decades of cultivation, they have now had a temple environment like a garden, which looks so vibrant on the Cangshan Mountain. Originally just for the nuns' preferences to grow flowers, now also attract a large number of tourists to visit, not only to worship, but also to see this special nunnery in Yunnan, some girls still want to stay in the temple after punching in.
In The Silent Illumination Not only can you enjoy the flowers, the iftar rice here is also a must, many people come to the Silent Illumination, but also for the temple 20 yuan a person buffet-style Suhoor, although and home cooking is similar, but in the choice of ingredients are very particular, seasoning also advocates less salt and less oil, do not add MSG and other seasonings, so you can taste the original taste of these ingredients. There is no heavy flavor seasoning, but it does not lose the characteristics of this iftar, so hundreds of people line up to eat Suhoor every day.
Dali Bo Xin Yun She
Early ~ Dali! Span thousands of kilometers, just for this moment to meet again, this time to Dali, the attractions that should be visited have been visited, I plan to slow down my pace, choose a homestay, take a photo and lie down in a daze, enjoy the slow life of Dali. Before living in Lijiang, There is also a shop in Dali, decisively choose, outside the ancient city gate, 5 minutes walk to.
When I walked into the Bo Xin Yun She, the scene in front of me seemed to come to another world, the huge pro pool is located in the middle of the courtyard, compared to Lijiang's, I feel that Dali's pro pool is larger, more classical, sparkling reflecting the sky, the middle color is greener is the pool, although on the surface it seems to be connected together, but in fact, the two pools are completely independent, especially good to take pictures at this angle.
And Lijiang's same, Dali's Bo Xin Yun She also adheres to the concept of "big", the public space directly opens up the second floor, you can say that it is like a tea room, like a restaurant, like a café, but how can you not think of this is the front desk of the courtyard, in order to let us come here more homely, there is no regular front desk there are POS machines and other things, into the door first to a cup of tea, listen to the little sister sweetly call me a little sister, warm service from the entrance can be enjoyed.
Nestled on the sofa in the front hall, watching the light rain outside the window, although you can't go out to play, but staying at The Heart of the House is also a different flavor. Elegant Chinese style, everywhere is full of various elements of photography, can not go out, then in the yard to shoot enough.
If you want, you can also let the little sister make a cup of coffee, and taste the unique lazy taste of Dali on the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
The little sister who pulled the flower was also too clever, not only could she pull out the four words of the Bo Xin Yun She, but also painted the yard together on the coffee, took pictures for half a day, and was reluctant to drink.
The little sister who took the photo said that my clothes and this pillow are specially matched, probably this is the fate!
Because I have lived in Lijiang's Bo xin yun she, so I also know that every guest has their own exclusive suite, in Dali, I stayed in the Cangshan Room, just listen to the name on the expectations, the moment I opened the door, I was amazed on the spot, it is really too local characteristics!
Each room theme of The Bo Xin family is different, and each room will also have its own unique design according to its own theme, such as the Cangshan room where I stayed, the floor is covered with a lot of stones to reflect the characteristics of Cangshan, the line of the door frame is like the shape of the mountain, and the antique room is a relaxing corner.
The bedding of the Bo xin family is also very careful, Simmons mattress, latex pillow, press the switch, the curtains and curtains will automatically close, and even the tired body can get a good night's sleep here.
Because the climate of the ancient city is relatively dry, the room is also carefully equipped with a humidifier, so that my skin is no longer dry.
The tea making equipment in the room is also very professional, and people who like to drink tea can also sit on the edge of the bed, look at the white clouds of the Cangshan Mountains outside, and enjoy tea and relax.
Whether it is in the design of the materials or a variety of small objects, the rooms of Bo Xin Yun She are integrated with dali's national culture and folk customs, unique, from the moment you live in it, you can feel the unique atmosphere of Dali.
Similarly, the bamboo towels, linen slippers and peach combs in the room can be taken home, and they are also brought home with their memories of being in the Bo Xin Yun House.
After resting in the room, I went to the terrace of the courtyard, the terrace of the Dali family was much larger than that of Lijiang, and there were two more, full of flowers and plants, like a small garden. And what is even more beautiful is that behind it is the sea of clouds and snowy mountains, and the vast scene makes me can't help but start shooting.
The public space of the cloud house is also very functional, both a tea room and an open kitchen, if the family comes and wants to cook something to eat, it is completely fine.
After entering the night, the Bo Xin Yun House has a different tranquility, the courtyard lights up at the beginning, the light and shadow reflected on the family pool, very beautiful, there are old people in the front hall playing cards and chatting, there are also people drinking small wine in the shade of the trees, indulging in the night of Dali, troubles are left behind, not to mention how comfortable.
Woken up by birds in the morning, the rain in Dali stopped, and the corner of cangshan mountain could be seen outside the window.
Come downstairs for breakfast, a variety of Dali delicacies, you can taste enough at breakfast. Dali characteristic thin bean powder, the most famous local breakfast, when eating thin bean flour must come to a fritter, but also with a cut into a section, mixed with thin bean flour to eat, simply not too delicious! I promise you'll love it.
Rice noodles are the must-order food for breakfast in Yunnan, and it is said that the morning in Yunnan starts from a bowl of rice noodles, minced meat and vegetables, and garnished with a piece of tomato, which is yunnan on the tip of the tongue.
Of course, when I came to Dali, I couldn't do without bait, milk fans and Xizhou rice dumplings, these characteristic Yunnan cuisine made me eat breakfast as brunch alive.

Dali Chapter - Lucky Little Fairy
At night in Dali and other sunsets did not wait, friends recommended to eat a new Yunnan cuisine, fortunately will meet the little fairy, outside the ancient city, the old distance to see the brightly lit storefront, closer to see is still quite lively, a lot of one-on-one pair to eat.
The shop's signature is steam pot chicken, which is said not to add a drop of water, and the three people also ordered diluted bean flour, double pepper fresh porcini mushrooms, mini small tofu, yak beef, wooden barrel rice, black pepper mountain pork chops and little fairy silver ear soup.
(1) Steam pot chicken is a chicken two to eat, soup is the highlight, that is called a fresh, not the kind of seasoning fresh, or chicken stewed out of the umami taste, drink more bowls on the body is also good
(2) Porcini mushroom is another sign in the store, in a few days the porcini mushroom will be gone, to choose the right day, full of umami, worth a try
(3) Mini small tofu to eat while hot, my favorite, the outside is burnt and tender
(4) Thin bean powder is a Yunnan characteristic, thick soybean powder, you can add spicy green onion and dried fish according to your own taste
(5) Bamboo tube rice, traditional sticky rice, the moment the bamboo is opened, the aroma is overflowing
(6) Yak beef and mountain pork chops are tender and tender, looking at the peppers but not actually spicy.
The main love theme of the little fairy restaurant, the environment is still very romantic, there is an interactive love certificate can play ~ very suitable for couples to come Oh, of course, friends can also party
Lijiang chapter - second brother rice noodles
Wall push! Probably the best food I've ever had in the ancient city! Must-order signature chicken sauce rice noodles, native chicken series is the signature, using black bone chicken as raw materials, very exquisite, the soup base is natural and delicious, and the rice noodles are sleek and cool.
Whether it was a meal or not, the restaurant was full of people. I passed at three o'clock in the afternoon, and I was also full of friends, and it was amazing to be so popular. The window is a semi-open design, sitting by the window with my rice noodles, watching the people coming and going outside, the life of the ancient town is really comfortable and moist.
Ancient City Chapter - Prince of Western Yunnan
This is a bit of a thunderbolt, although a high score on a review, but the ancient city restaurant in the review of the score of more than half can not be believed, the storefront is quite Naxi style, the waiters are also wearing national costumes.
The two of us ordered three meals, all of which were the signature dishes in the store, lotus leaf bun roast beef tenderloin, Dai hand pilaf, and a little bit of lamb, the overall taste felt general, not as amazing as the reviews were written.
Ordered another cup to drink, Pauluda, this is really a pit, that is, coconut milk with a little rusk on top, sorry for the price.
The End
Lijiang, said that it was sunny or rainy, went to the airport in the early morning, it rained, probably reluctant to let me go. Wandering around the airport, I refused to enter the waiting room, just to deepen the mountains of Lijiang once again.
Once dreamed of fighting swords to go to the end of the world,
Take a look at the prosperity of the world.
Lijiang and Dali are distant places that I have not forgotten.
Maybe at some point in the future, I would like to come back here and live a slow life far away.
