Sichuan-Yunnan Ring Line, the seventh series, Lijiang Dayan Ancient City

came to Lijiang and lived at the south gate of Dayan Ancient City, but it was not until the next night that he walked into Dayan Ancient City with his photographers. According to the cameraman's words, it's all here, just take a look.

Because I want to see the night view of Lijiang, I walked to Lion Rock without thinking, who knew that Lion Rock was full of houses, and the intertwined streets and alleys made us walk into two groups, and finally touched the gate of Lion Rock Park, but we were told that this road was not possible at night, and the plan to see the night of Lijiang on Lion Rock was in vain.

There was no way, so I had to find another commanding height, so I inquired about Dayan Flower Alley. From Lion Rock to Dayanhua Lane to pass through Sifang Street, this road can really be described as a sea of people, it is difficult to walk, and it is difficult to move to Dayanhua Lane with the crowd. Although the scenery of Dayan Flower Lane is good, after tossing for a long time, everyone has little interest in enjoying the night, and what they think of is to leave this noisy place early and go back to the hotel to play cards and sleep.

I didn't shoot much film that night, so I had to use a few alley umbrella scenes taken near Sifang Street the next morning to make up for it.

Early in the morning of the seventh day, the sky was clear, and the classic Yulong Snow Mountain film of Lijiang with the prospect of Dayan Ancient City immediately appeared in my mind, and finally I still couldn't hold back, and the photographers stepped into the ancient city of Dayan for the second time.

After a night of hustle and bustle, the streets and alleys of the ancient city are particularly quiet, coupled with the soft and warm sunshine in the morning, the ancient city of Dayan at this time really makes people feel a little bit of the quiet and beautiful of the border town on the ancient tea horse road in the Hengduan Mountains.

To see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the ancient city of Dayan, you have to go to Lion Rock. With yesterday's experience, I didn't get lost this time, I hardly met anyone along the way, and I quickly arrived at the gate of Lion Rock Park while walking. Turn right 20 meters before the entrance of the park and there is a house, and you can clearly see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain at the door.

After seeing the whole scenery, a straight road goes down to Sifang Street. The ancient city of Dayan in the early morning is still very interesting, and the most impressive thing is the umbrella scenery in the alley, which is evidenced by the picture, and there is no need to repeat it.
