Preface
A

long time ago, there was an old man at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, who often went to Xidang Village on the banks of the Lancang River to borrow food, and the people of Xidang Village didn't know where the old man came from, so someone followed him, but he always disappeared while walking.

Later, someone came up with a way, and when the old man came to borrow food again, the people of Xidang Village lent him millet and took the opportunity to punch a hole in his pocket.

The millet flowed all the way, and the villagers followed closely to find a boulder, and the millet was gone. They were very strange, everyone lifted the boulder, but found that there was a village below, this is Yubeng~

Yubeng Village

Yubeng is often called "the last paradise on earth" and "there is heaven above, there is rain collapse below", it is an unparalleled peach orchard under Meili Snow Mountain, and it is also known as an epic hiking route in our country. I think this is what I have in mind that a village should look like: snow-capped mountain meadows, cattle and horses cooking smoke, surrounded by mountains, forests and rivers; The land is flat, the houses are neat, the roads are trafficy, and chickens and dogs hear each other; And it is not enough for outsiders to talk about it.

One person and one bag, stepping on the rain;

The territory of the region does not care about the afterlife.

About transportation

Beijing flies directly to Lijiang, and then goes to Yubeng by signing up for a group or chartering a car.

About accommodation
There

are many inns in the ancient city of Lijiang and they are also very beautiful, with convenient travel and good environment; There are only a few dozen households in the upper and lower villages of Yubeng, and the accommodation is similar, the sanitary conditions and prices are similar, just find a house with a good view.

If

you are not sure that you will spend money to take a car, then the luggage must be simplified to the most refined, simple toiletries and a change of clothes, jackets, fleece clothes, hiking shoes, thermos cups, bruise medicines, etc. The missing supplies were bought in Lijiang, and once the trip started, the prices along the way were so expensive that they doubted life.

About the itinerary
The details of the itinerary
are
Lijiang Ancient City

Lijiang Ancient City is a place that is slow-paced during the day and fast-paced at night, and laziness is synonymous with here, so visiting the ancient town during the day is a good choice.

Take a nap in the morning until you wake up naturally, and go out for a stroll. It extends in all directions with Sifang Street as the center, and you can walk slowly for two days. In addition to the inn, there are commercial streets one by one, featuring handicrafts featuring the Naxi ethnic group, spices, tea, instrumental music, braids and various snacks and drinks.

In fact, what is more worth seeing here is all kinds of flowers and plants, weeping willows in small rivers, green bricks and gray tiles, and eaves under the clouds~

The

first thing I want to eat when I come to Yunnan is the rice noodles across the bridge, I found the second brother rice noodles with the first online review, and ordered the signature stewed chicken rice noodles, the soup tastes good, the rice noodles are tasteless, It was also from here that my whole trip to drink soup began.

Take

a break in the afternoon and go to the observation deck (Jiao Jiao Cafe), Lijiang Ancient City is a place where you can walk casually to Internet celebrity stores, and you need to queue up to sit in the viewing seat. It is very comfortable to sit quietly here for a while, but the wind is very cool, so it is not a good place to sleep.

Green bricks and gray tiles, intricate houses

Lijiang has a strong Dongba culture: Dongba culture is a religious culture, which is the ancient culture of the Naxi people passed down from generation to generation in Dongba. It includes Dongba hieroglyphs, scriptures, dances and various dojo sacrifices.

Dongba paper mills can be seen everywhere in the ancient city, the books here are very expensive, but they are also rare and rare, and the paper texture is special and real.

The texture of the paper is the bark of the tree, and the seal of the Dongba script will be given when buying the book

"Lijiang Eternal Love" is one of the must-see performances in Lijiang, which takes Lijiang's ethnic regional culture as the theme and shows Lijiang's thousand-year-old culture and historical customs with song and dance; Through dance/acrobatics/martial arts/special effects and other elements, Lijiang's thousand-year-old history and legends are reproduced.

The performance is about 1 hour, usually 16:30 in the afternoon, buying tickets at the inn will take the group price, and there will be a free earthquake performance after watching.

The wings of this divine bird are made up by an individual

The second performance is mainly narrative based on the Wenchuan earthquake rescue, which is highly interactive, and will invite many audiences to participate in the performance, and will also organize all the audience to turn on the flash. Light up the stars to pay tribute to rescue and medical staff.

Lijiang is extremely noisy at night, and it becomes a world of bars and food at night; The oil paper umbrella street is lit up, and the umbrellas here change to new styles every once in a while, and the alleys are not fixed. Tourists gather by the river to set off lanterns, there are the shouts of vendors on the streets, and all kinds of people wearing national costumes who come out to take pictures.

People are lighting lanterns by the river There

are too many Internet celebrity restaurants in Lijiang, with mushroom hot pot as the mainstream, but the online reputation is not very good, so I found a restaurant (Yun Xueli) to eat snow-capped mountain fish. The fish on the plateau does not feel very tender, this fish has too many burrs, and I feel like I am eating grass carp, and I found the air pot chicken that suits my appetite.

Back at the inn, the lights in the courtyard were turned on, and the smell of wood in the room was mixed with the scent of threads, all of which I liked.

The

southwest exit of the ancient city is Zhongyi Market, where you can see all kinds of mushrooms in Yunnan and buy fresh fruits, and the price is similar to that of Beijing.

In the afternoon, I drank tea in the courtyard of the inn and was in a daze, watching the waterwheel in the yard spinning in circles, and I could squint for a while, and then check in the hump Yunnan red milk tea of Sanjier, the milk tea was really delicious , half sugar is enough.

Grabbed some Wu Yutai's flower tea from home, and the teacup was sloppy The

restaurants called Xiaochu/Dian Kitchen in the ancient city are more delicious, and the non-Internet celebrity restaurants are very high-quality and inexpensive, and they are also more characteristic Naxi flavors.

Naxi cuisine in Lantern Alley

Compared with the second brother's rice noodles, the wild mountain mushroom casserole red rice noodles here have more flavor, Yunnan baba is a very hard pie, the roasted milk fan is like a fried pork fork, the green one is water-based flowers, the taste is weird and has no taste, plum wine is authentic, in fact, you don't need to order alcohol here, this free lemon mint water is very delicious (bottom right).

Leaning against the window to watch the setting sun, the ancient city is basically finished, because there is not much snow in the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, so I plan to only go to the Blue Moon Valley tomorrow.

Blue Moon Valley
Blue

Moon Valley is located at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, named for the blue lake water and crescent-shaped valley, known as "Little Jiuzhai", mainly composed of Yuye Lake, Jingtan Lake, Blue Moon Lake and Tingtao Lake, which is the river water blocked by the mountain in the process of flowing to form four larger water surfaces.

From the ancient city waterwheel to the bus stop, there is a special line to Yulong Snow Mountain, 15 yuan/person about 1.5 hours to arrive. Blue Moon Valley itself has no tickets, and will charge for several scenic cars.

There are crowds of people praying, lining up and taking pictures with yaks and all kinds of people taking pictures.

Sure enough,

it rained as soon as I went out, all the way was hazy, the lake level was like a mirror, the water rippled when it rained, and occasionally when it cleared, the lake surface was sprinkled with silver light. There are groups of waterfalls here, and different lakes have different blue colors.

It is said that when you go to Lijiang, you must go to Shuhe to see, it is not as commercial as the ancient city of Lijiang, it is more primitive and pure, check the route to take a taxi for half an hour, It is convenient to go shopping in the afternoon.

Compared with the ancient city of Lijiang, Shuhe is slightly more ancient and quiet. In September, the osmanthus trees here are already fragrant all over the streets.

Shuhe Ancient Town is a well-preserved important market town on the "Tea Horse Ancient Road", in addition to the center of the town, the edge of the path is very deserted, and the imprint of the horse gang people is still preserved here. Nowadays, there are occasionally locals riding horses on the streets, and there are also half-closed Buddhist shops to entertain guests.

The Shu River is not big, and the center of the town is a small lake under a weeping willow, surrounded by various restaurants and tea shops. There are not many people here, so compared to the ancient city, you can face the calm lake water and drink a cup of coffee or black tea quietly.

The

rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I found a restaurant with many flowers and plants by the lake to take shelter from the rain, and ordered a cup of "Yunnan small grain coffee", the taste was not strong like traditional Chinese medicine mixed with water, and pomegranate juice was more valuable.

A cup of coffee for some lazy time, thinking that I can't sit quietly listening to the rain and watching the flowers like I do now for a long time; Every house here has a resident singer, and the singer who walks forward has a restaurant has a bit of a hackberry smell.

Drinking pot mushroom soup on cold days is a good choice, dispelling cold and warming the stomach and preventing colds; The prices here will be lower than those in the ancient city, and there is a wild mushroom soup shop along the west side of the lake (Dong's Little Chef, which is really okay to call a small chef) The casserole can be refilled with soup, and I drank two pots.

To go to Yunnan, you must be familiar with three varieties: 1. Pairs of mushrooms should be cooked, 2. Mushrooms should be cooked, and 3. The road to the hospital should be familiar. The turquoise mushrooms on it are the famous "hand green", and you can go to the hospital to see the elves if you eat them uncooked, so they must be cooked. After the mushrooms are in the pot, the waiter will set a time for 20 minutes, and you can't even put a spoon in to stir until the time is up.

I felt like I had drunk a pot of soup with my life, and I was very apprehensive along the way, wondering if the colorful world I saw was an illusion.

Many stores in Lijiang have famous dogs at their doors to attract tourists, and they also encounter live broadcasts of singing dogs in the ancient city.

The

ancient city at night has become a city that never sleeps, rest early tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning, passing through Shangri-La's Jinsha River, Moon Bay, Baima Snow Mountain, and Feilai Temple , Xidang Village arrived at the focus of this trip - Meili Yubeng.

Jinsha River

I have seen mountains surrounded by clouds and mist after rain on the Internet, and the beauty is not real, until I see it with my own eyes, I still feel a little ethereal. Perhaps there is often such a beautiful scenery on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, but it is also very precious to catch up with such a scenery from thousands of miles away.

Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to draft the water

No matter where you are, you always like to look up at the great rivers and mountains, towering mountains and rivers, magnificent rivers, dazzling starry skies and vast plains, All of them show the beauty of China's atmosphere.

Follow the Jinsha River all the way up the mountains and Shangri-La Town to Moon Bay.

said that this is the "Internet celebrity sacred cow", this cow is numb here all day long, I don't know how many years it has been standing.

The charging model here cannot be described as expensive, but incomprehensible, it is understandable to say that it costs 20 yuan to shoot a "divine cow", and if you want to shoot the Sange flowers on the distant mountains, you have to charge 5 yuan per piece.

Moon Bay

On the way from Shangri-La Town to Deqin, you will pass by Moon Bay before the Baima Snow Mountain Pass. Moon Bay is an omega-Ω bend in the Jinsha River at this section, and you can see the river bend and the winding mountain road built along the bay from the observation deck, which makes people sigh at the integration of nature's magic and the power of human creation.

This is how the driver introduced Moon Bay: This is a watch brand... Interesting trash can The winding mountain road built along the bay The Baima Snow Mountain Tunnel was closed due to the collapse of the road, and the more it went

to Feilai Temple, the more gloomy the weather became, it turned out that September was the rainy season here, and it was all about luck to see the true appearance of Meili Snow Mountain. It seems that there is little hope.

Meili Snow Mountain

I came to see the snowy mountain, but she hid and let me see the fairyland.

Meili Snow Mountain, also known as Prince Snow Mountain, is one of the eight sacred mountains in Tibet The prayer wheel of Feilai Temple

Feilai Temple is very small, an observation deck and several hotels, the vicinity is mainly a yak hot pot restaurant, last time I ate yak meat in Qinghai and had a toothache, this time I found a Sichuan restaurant conservatively, I drank a pot of green vegetable tofu soup.

How mysterious it is, 8 yuan sounds so mysterious Does this tree have any opinion about tourists? The beef noodles here are not beef ramen, they are sold well, but they are actually soy sauce noodles

Until the next day when I got on the bus and set off, I saw a little bit of plum noodles, She only gave me a shy look.

1.5 hours drive from Feilai Temple to Xidang Village, the more you go in, the more barren the mountains become, no matter how difficult the place is, there are people there, passing through 2 villages to Xidang, which is the starting point of going to Yubeng.

Lancang River

There are two ways to enter the rain collapse in the west: hike 18 kilometers or take an off-road vehicle. In fact, I came to Yubeng to sit down quietly and look at the snow-capped mountains, but the hiking group did not have extra time, so I chose to take a car into the village, which could save 8 hours.

Drive around the rugged mountain road, arrive at the entrance of the village after about 1 hour, and then walk into the village with your luggage by yourself. The small house in front of me was a rain collapse, but the mountain road was muddy, the center of gravity was unstable, and it took 20 minutes to walk downhill.

rain collapse

For the first two days, I will stay in Shangyubeng and set off for the ice lake. There is a small horse at the door of the inn room where I live, and when I sit on the horse and look forward, there are clusters of mountains, and if there are no thick cumulus clouds, there are white snow-capped mountains in front of me. There was a small house in the mountain depression, and I reacted for a while before realizing that it was Yubeng Village, and it was said that there were only about 20 households in the entire Yubeng village.

Do tourists yearn for the quiet and peaceful here, and do they also want to experience the hustle and bustle of the city? I don't know if it's plain happiness or the helplessness of being trapped, but I thought of that sentence: People inside want to come out, and people outside want to go in.

Scenery outside the window Xiaomaza I

had nothing to do at noon, down the village road, there were restaurants and cafes on the side of the road, and I felt that there were not many villagers in the rain, and they were all foreigners who came to do business. I wanted to go to Junping opened by Hong Kong people to have a cup of milk tea, but when the boss's inventory was not open, I went to Shihe Yuanfang opposite, and the service attitude was very good.

There is coffee rice, and the taste is relatively normal The group is also quite happy

Going down the road, I originally wanted to go for a walk in the rain, but the innkeeper said don't look far, it's only one kilometer, and it takes 40 minutes to go down. It takes 1.5 hours to climb again, and it is recommended that I go west, where there is a white pagoda that you can see.

There is a lawn in the White Pagoda, and after the lawn is the road to the ice lake, there are cornfields and cows and ducks on the lawn, and the road is potholed. If you want to ask about the specialties of the village, that is: cow dung is available.

Cornfield, the only crop I see here Villagers carrying firewood

Twilight falls, dinner can be solved at the inn, where resources are scarce + tourist villages, and prices are very high.

120 yuan dinner and 20 yuan breakfast

Sitting at the door of the room, you can see the night view of the rain, and it starts to rain lightly here in the afternoon. The clouds and fog have not dissipated, and the stars cannot be seen at night.

glacial lake

In addition to the magnificent snow-capped mountains, the rain collapse attracted me, as well as the primeval forests I hiked through. The first time I hiked at high altitude, climbing from 3000 to 3900, I don't know what the situation will be like. But life is long, and some things that are unknown in the future cannot be pondered for a long time, and hesitation may not be successful.

Walking this road again, the scenery in the morning is very different from yesterday, and the fairy aura is like ink painting, which can't help but make people stop and admire.

The

rain has not stopped, the mountain road is difficult, the guide estimates that the whole journey will take 11 hours, people always say that it is scary to get lost in the forest alone, practice the truth, and experience it firsthand.

There are few roads in the primeval forest, many of which are stepped on by horses, especially above the base camp, which is an undeveloped area. Halfway through, there was a big river, and when I walked along the river, my shoes were completely wet.

The light rain turned into heavy rain, and the horses outside the shed were drenched motionless, and if anyone was willing to ride down the mountain, they would carry people down the muddy road. I saw two horses going down the mountain, and when they were hungry, they picked up paper shells in the garbage to eat. There are always people who say that they are cows and horses in the next life, how can they be so easy.

There

is a canteen in the base camp, and there are also hot fried rice and yak milk. I didn't have anything to eat when I went up the mountain, and I wanted to replenish my physical strength, so I asked for a portion, or a meat fried rice (50/bowl). There is no signal here, only cash.

Standing in the base camp, you can already see the snow-capped mountains, although the rain and fog are not clear, but it is not in vain to see it.

It takes an hour and a half to walk up from the base camp to the ice lake, which is also the stopping point for some people, in fact, I have long been exhausted when I got here, and I relied on perseverance to go up. The girl in the car wanted to pull me down the mountain, but I didn't expect me to have to go up, in their opinion of me: this person is bound to take a car into the village on the first day, and he can't eat this or that, did he take hormones today? Not only does it cook a box of yak fried rice, but it also has to go to the ice lake? In fact, at that time, my mind was full of words that could make people persist: It's coming.

Continuing to go up, the headache was nauseous, my heart was beating faster, and my feet were worn out. The more I went up, the more I wanted to vomit, and later analyzed by my teammates: I ate too much fried rice, and I would rather be hungry than eat at this time.

Thanks to my teammates for driving me up and showing me the true face of the ice lake. Maybe it's blue when it's sunny. The snow on the mountain melts and converges into a lake, and the ice pierces the hands.

The glacial lake is surrounded by mani piles, and the white one behind it is a cave The big snow mountain is behind, and the fog is too big to see We

were urged to go down the mountain at 3 o'clock, our trip was later than expected, it was dark early on the mountain, and it would be dangerous if we didn't go down the mountain before dark.

After a day of rain washing, the mud road is softer, many places are like stepping on a quilt, and in some places the mountaineering battle fell half a pestle, I reacted to the Long March, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, rivers and swamps?

Before the rain, after the rain crash

Now I can't remember what it was like that day, but I can still remember the reason for the slow pace, in addition to the physical strength not being able to keep up, And the colorful mushrooms attract me.

stepped on some mushrooms and went back, compared with the toadstool table at the door of the inn, I think some mushrooms in my hand should still be edible. Then I saw a warning posted in the kitchen: Mushrooms picked by tourists themselves are not allowed to be cooked.

Rain Collapse
Get

up early in the morning to pack your luggage and go to Haixia, the rain has not stopped, in the words of teammates: Rain collapse is a collapse on foot on a rainy day.

Occasionally, the sun comes out and prints two rainbows.

Because my feet were worn out yesterday and I didn't go to the waterfall, the weather was gloomy and cold, so I lay down in the rainy inn all morning. Compared with the rain collapse, it has a more rural feel. From the door to the backyard, you will pass a cornfield and chicken coop, next to the homes of local villagers, and donkeys standing next to the messy firewood piles, sometimes going out for a walk by themselves, and coming back to sleep after a walk.

cornfields and country paths outside the window I

haven't slept on an electric mattress for a long time, and I was languishing in the room all morning, and in the afternoon I walked towards the waterfall, passed by a meadow, and went into the mountains to continue looking for mushrooms.

The banks were full of mani piles of blessings, and I piled one too

Below is the poisonous mushroom display moment

You

can't go to the mountain after 3 o'clock, it's getting dark quickly, and the guide said that there are bears and wolves in this forest, which is very dangerous.

The taste of butter tea is a bit light, and the boss has always felt that I am afraid that I will not be able to finish eating and waste if I order too much, and I am too underestimated.

Today is the day to leave the village, the rain still hasn't stopped in the morning, I was originally supposed to walk through the canyon to get out of the village, the guide tried to dissuade him, afraid that the rain will wash away the risk of landslides, and finally decided to take half a team of people to walk the canyon, and those who are not physically strong or worried about the risk will take a car out of the village. I followed the car and waited for the half of the group to come down near the canyon.

While waiting for the bus, the village entrance speaker began to play radio music, and the people waiting for the bus couldn't help but jump along

Kitten next to the station, there are cats, horses and cows here, but basically I haven't seen a dog, I heard that people here don't like dogs, dogs are used to feed yaks. All living beings are unequal, and the dogs here are in stark contrast to Lijiang.

It

takes about 4 hours to hike down the mountain from the canyon, and then take a car to wait for the teammates who are hiking down the mountain at the villagers' homes on the side of the valley. The villagers planted a lot of things, and a very colorful flower bloomed in the pot.

On the way back, I passed by the grape picking garden in the valley, Shangri-La is the origin of Sunshine Rose grapes, very sweet 10 yuan a catty, resisted a big bag back, and finally got on the plane, Kong Shao directly found the empty luggage rack in the back to put grapes for me.

The cows in the garden run away as soon as they chase them Napa Sea Napa Sea, in the distance is the Ira grassland The
ancient city of Dukezong
Stop and go all the way, and arrived at the ancient city of Dukezong in Shangri-La Town at night The

ancient city of Dukezong was built according to the ideal country of Shambhala in the Buddhist scriptures, and it is an important town on the ancient tea horse road. It is also the first stop after the Ma Gang entered Tibet.

Although the ancient city is not big, the national atmosphere is much stronger than that of Lijiang, and the slow-paced life experience is good, not like a scenic spot with strong commerce, but more like a local park; From the hotel to the restaurant, I watched the excitement for more than 1 hour.

Square dance on the plateau In

time for the cultural festival, people sing and dance, and outside the square is a snack street with various barbecue and accessory stalls.

The landmark in the ancient city "Great Prayer Wheel" The prayer wheel "turns single and not double", usually three turns, there is a rope on the tube, and if you want to turn hard, you have to pull the rope to go. After

9 o'clock in the evening, there were not many people on the street, and I went to the Aoki restaurant recommended by the donkey friend, and unexpectedly found that there were also grilled fresh matsutake mushrooms. Matsutake mushrooms are usually touched with a layer of butter on the baking sheet to enhance the taste, but they are a little milky and unaccustomed to it, so they are roasted raw.

The 5th Meteorite Series Hotel is one of the main components and key brands in the ancient city, and the Tibetan element design and sanitary environment of this hotel complex are very distinctive. The best hotel on this trip.

Hotel interior view
Wolf poison flower sea

Every year from late September to early November, the withered wolf poison flowers will gradually turn from tender yellow to crimson. Wolf poison flower is a perennial herb, the root is poisonous, can be used in traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of expectorant, edema, pain relief and other effects.

Tiger Leaping Gorge

Tiger Leaping Gorge, known for its "danger", is one of the deepest canyons in China, flowing here from the Jinsha River and crossing between Haba Snow Mountain and Yulong Snow Mountain , is the largest canyon in the Yangtze River.

Bridges under construction Back in Lijiang, the festival is approaching, catching up with the square dance of the ancient city After

thinking about chicken soup for several days, I came to eat air pot chicken, and the eggplant dragon next to it is a specialty here. This is a whole eggplant, and the boss said that every morning he has to go to the market for half a day to find such a big eggplant.

Xiangshan Market
The

last day was mainly shopping, and I went to Xiangshan Market in the morning, about 5 minutes by taxi from the ancient city. The market is huge, and you can buy any specialties you want here.

In the afternoon, I returned to the ancient city to wander around, and encountered two shops selling souvenirs: the cat's Sky City and the Flower Fence Library, the library is not a place for books, mainly selling flower cakes/honey/coffee, The coffee packaging is like a book, and the prints on it are very literary.

The ticket can be posted here as a souvenir Coffee The

driver said: Is our airport very small, and I don't know if it's a hotel.

About pit avoidance

1. Some inns in Lijiang Ancient City will be matched with corresponding "housekeepers", always "paying" attention to tourists' clothing, food, housing and transportation, and will invite drinking and tea or recommend Internet celebrity restaurants, as wine holders/selling tea/getting kickbacks, and listen carefully to opinions.

2. The ancient city does not charge maintenance fees, if you only go to Blue Moon Valley, you will not ask for an ancient ticket, but you should go to Black Dragon Pond Park.

3. There are many "hooks" in the ancient city, selling spicy beef, shiitake mushrooms, duck feet, etc., with the same signboard but not one; Almost all families have tasted it, and I personally feel that the origin is Panzhihua's deliciousness, not dry and spicy, and the numbness is more sufficient.

4. Yulong Snow Mountain to Shuhe Ancient Town to take a taxi, the driver will recommend to call the north gate, saying that the north gate is tiring to go all the way downhill, in fact, it is a flat road, and the north gate is 20 yuan more expensive than other doors.

5. The scenery of the Jinsha River is beautiful, the price is not so beautiful, I saw the starting price of sitting on the ground, the supermarket 19 yuan autumn clothes are sold for 80 yuan/piece, 160 yuan/set, so the luggage should be prepared in the supermarket in Lijiang.

6. Folk customs are not as simple as what is said on the Internet, and they talk about money at critical moments.

7. Feilai Temple has a loudspeaker in the morning to broadcast the lama's chanting, no need to look for it, it is a recording.
