Lijiang is certainly a tourist destination.
There are mountains, there are waters, there are books, there are stories...
Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai of the Naxi tribe were martyred in death at the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The icy snowy mountains, the deep and dark canyons and the rushing Jinsha River can bear the great suffering and great compassion of life.
From Lijiang, we rented a car and went straight to Lugu Lake. The mountains of northwest Yunnan make you feel afraid, up and downhill, full of smoke and dust, winding roads are in extremely poor condition, I have the heart to turn around and go back, and I am comforted by my companions.
On the way, my companion asked me to see a school in the mountains, and I paid tribute to the students. Stepping out of the mountains is a great blessing in life! But if you haven't seen Northwest Yunnan, how do you know you're in luck?
Regarding the mountains, the Naxi people said this -
The male god is responsible for making the heavens, and the goddess is responsible for the creation of the earth. But the goddess was too diligent, and she made the earth too big, so that when the heavens and the earth were stitched together, she had to fold the ground up to form high mountains and valleys.
Look, it's all the sins of lazy men.
But Lugu Lake is worth this thousands of miles of travel - mountain shadows, cloud shadows, a lake all washed away.
Xanadu and Shangri-La are synonymous with this beautiful land. The American Locke didn't make a fool of himself. It is said that after his death, he was also buried on Huxin Island in Lugu Lake, so the name of Huxin Island was "Locke".
We hired a pig trough boat and headed straight for Rock Island. On the boat, I learned that the local government only allowed clean energy in order to protect the environment and avoid pollution of the lake water by the oil. The battery is extremely heavy, and a middle-aged woman with a face full of vicissitudes is very laborious to carry the battery to the ship, I want to help, but I can't shake it.
Under the protection of people, the water quality of Lugu Lake is excellent. You can drink it directly with a bunch of water. Under the guidance of the owner of the boat, I looked down at the bottom of the water, the small fish flickered back and forth, the sand and gravel were clearly recognizable, and the aquatic grass was soft and long... A plant called water-based poplar blossom thrives here, and small white flowers are scattered like stars on the surface of the water, swaying with the waves.
Water-based poplar flowers only grow in Lugu Lake, can be stir-fried, the taste is slippery, crisp and raw, with a hint of nori flavor.
I remember that in Tibet, I also saw pineapples that only grew locally. Water-based poplars, like pineapples, are extremely demanding on the environment and appear when the air quality is excellent.
People's definition of food is very interesting, of course, mountain treasures and seafood are delicacies, and rare foods that are not usually eaten are also delicacies. This "water-based poplar flower" has to be seen for thousands of miles, and it is naturally a delicacy.
The taste of life, the taste of life, even if you have walked through thousands of mountains and rivers, you must taste it. I was a "curious cat", all kinds of food had to be grabbed and put in my mouth, and then I left many, many good memories of my life.
