As a photography enthusiast, I think the most precious thing is the original film that is treasured in the computer or hard drive after shooting. After all, those films are not only carriers that can evoke a moment of memory, but also record the growth and experience on the road of photography! But unfortunately, I lost ...... them

I remember ten years ago, in the winter of ten years ago, my wife and I packed our bags and embarked on a journey of independent travel in Yunnan for the first time. At that time, the ancient city of Lijiang, Lugu Lake, and Yulong Snow Mountain had already been a tourist destination that many people had come to visit, or how many people dreamed of walking. Obviously, I successfully followed this wind, and it has been smooth since the beginning of the landing.

In Dayan Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town, I stayed for a total of three days. As for the residence, I chose an inn that was very close to Sifang Street, but slightly higher. My accommodation is not very demanding, but it must be seen and the price is reasonable. In this inn, you can see most of the street scene by opening the window, and you can even watch the sunset ...... Lion Rock from afar on the terrace

After everything was arranged, most of the rest of the time was aimlessly walking through the streets and alleys of the ancient town. I remember that since when, there has been a popular saying "Lijiang is suitable for romantic encounters", and I, obviously, did not come for this purpose! Because, I took my wife with me, which had to make me completely cut off this thought, of course, the second half of the sentence was a joke......

It's a joke, on the evening of the first day after moving in, when I visited Dayan Ancient Town at night, I passively "encountered" such an embarrassment. I wanted to go into a bar for a drink and listen to a live band. But when I walked to the door, I was told by the little brother (waiter) who was soliciting business that beer was sold (12 bottles a dozen), and I made it clear that I couldn't drink it (my wife doesn't drink), so I bit the bullet and said half a dozen is okay? But in the end, it was rejected. And the little brother told me that after you go in, someone will naturally "help" you drink! My wife is still on the side, you say it's embarrassing ...... don't

In this way, I wanted to enjoy the petty bourgeois atmosphere in the bar of Lijiang Dayan Ancient Town but failed to achieve it, so I went to Shuhe Ancient Town the next day, under the blue sky and white clouds, next to flowers and trees, in Shuhe Ancient Town, which is cleaner and more feeling than the lively and noisy Dayan Ancient Town, I found a café and drank a cup of coffee! It can be regarded as a comfortable enjoyment of Lijiang's slow time ......

But I have to say that the prosperity and shoulder to shoulder of Dayan Ancient Town can indeed make a traveler excited. While looking around, my ears were filled with a very popular song "Tick Da" sung at that time, and mixed with it, the sound of beating tambourines could be heard from a shop almost not far away, and at that time, it seemed that there was no Xia Xia. But almost the same thing, that meeting was also "meeting friends with drums", and then achieving the business of selling drums.

Obviously, shopping is not my main purpose, Lijiang is a transit point. My goals are the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and Lugu Lake. However, I am very pleased that Lijiang, which has good weather, is in a suitable position in the streets of the ancient town, and I can see the appearance of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain from a distance. And recorded it, which is also one of the few photos of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain that I have left.

And this photo, after I lost almost all the images of Yunnan, I was happy to find that there was still such a photo of the jade dragon snow mountain, and the reason why it could be saved was entirely due to the personal gallery of a certain platform. But it is also a pity that it is no longer the original film, in other words, it is no longer a JPG format photo that can no longer be reinterpreted or modified.

The short three days passed quickly, and I put the itinerary of Yulong Snow Mountain at the last stop, so from Dayan Ancient Town in Lijiang, I bought a ticket directly to Lugu Lake. Similarly, the pictures that can be published so far are dozens of photos saved in the gallery of a certain platform, and some are taken by mobile phones. Having said that, on the way to Lugu Lake, there were many episodes, and there was not a good road, almost all of which were winding mountain roads, and the road encountered snow, and the muddy and slippery road made us stop and walk for as many as 10 hours along the way...... Fortunately, it finally arrived safely!

The beauty of Lugu Lake is completely different from Lijiang Ancient Town and Shuhe Ancient Town, and the beauty here is more original. Here, I met an inn "Rig Xinqing" that is still operating in Lugu Lake. I don't know if it's a boss or not, but as far as I know, the name has never changed. I remember going to the aboriginal house for dinner and attending a bonfire after the meal...... Today, most of these influences no longer exist, leaving only a little impression.

Lugu Lake in the evening is particularly beautiful, the clouds on the horizon reflect the calm water, and the wooden boat is quietly moored on the shore. Occasionally, the small white flowers rippling on the water gently surged, and later I learned that this flower has a slightly blushing name here, called "water-based poplar", and I remember that even the beer I drank locally was called this name. All in all, Lugu Lake has always been so quiet and has always been such a beautiful ......

Surprisingly, in Lugu Lake, I also saw the disease and learned about the "Gem" goddess mountain, which is known locally as the sacred mountain. This mountain is of great significance to the local indigenous people. Legend has it that this mountain is the embodiment of the goddess Gem, and every year on the 25th day of the seventh lunar month, there will be a local sacrificial activity of the Pilgrimage Festival, and as a grand ceremony held in the festival, bowing and worshiping is essential, and such a custom has a history of more than a thousand years.

In Lugu Lake, the scenery that can be appreciated and appreciated is far more than that, the lover tree, the sea of grass, the Mosuo people's home, the marriage bridge, and even the home of Yang Erche Nam are all very worthwhile attractions, distributed on the shore of Lugu Lake or not far away...... As the customs and habits of the Mosuo people, there are many interesting stories, and even ...... are still happening

As the last stop of this trip, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain has a beautiful scenery that people can't get enough of and can't get enough of. Since it was mid-November, in this season that should have entered winter, the mountains under the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain still retained the bright colors of golden autumn, so that if you were not careful, you would record the mountains and rivers under these colorful colors!

The clarity of the lake makes people can't believe that what they see with their eyes is the color of the water, and the ice and snow of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain melt into a river, flowing down from a valley at the eastern foot of the snowy mountain, and when the place where it flows is blocked by the mountain, it forms a lake with a large area. The lake is calm and clear, reflecting almost everything you see, including the cloudy sky and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Small waterfalls, in a place called Blue Moon Valley, where you can get closer to the melting stream and even touch the small waterfall that flows down from a high place. The waterfall is not much different, it seems to be only three or four meters high, but the sound of flowing water even drowns out the sound of talking, so that it is impossible to hear clearly without speaking loudly. The beautiful name Blue Moon Valley comes from the real scenery that can only be seen occasionally here. It is also named because it is very similar to the Blue Moon Valley described in the book "The Vanishing Horizon"!

As the climb continued, the fog and humidity in the mountains became larger and larger, and before I knew it, it was snowing heavily when I walked to Spruce Flat. The visibility between the mountains suddenly plummeted, so that the relatively clear sky when he first went up the mountain could not be seen at all, and the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which was only in front of him, had long disappeared into the thick clouds and mist. In desperation, I could only go down the mountain with regret.

What happened next made me regret it even more, and I regret it to this day. Because there was no good storage hard disk and no backup, after the computer failed after coming back to repair the film, I lost a whole 1T picture, which included most of the original films in this trip! The few who survived, the three backups so far, as for the lost ones, can only be reproduced in their minds with faint memories. Whether it's Lijiang, Lugu Lake, or Yulong Snow Mountain, I will definitely go, I believe that after going again, I will never lose your ...... again
