The trip was originally planned for the end of February, but due to the epidemic, it was postponed to mid-March. I only heard about it before or saw the beautiful scenery of Yunnan on TV, and I also knew about Yunnan food and ancient cities, and I was looking forward to my first trip to Lijiang, Yunnan.

There

are not many direct flights from Shanghai to Lijiang every day, the first flight in the morning is around 8:20, the weather in Shanghai is good when I departed, and the weather in Lijiang is also good. Nearly three hours of flying in the air, it was smooth, but the strong airflow that was about to land made the people on the plane a little frightened!

It was a sunny day in Lijiang, and it was a little sunny at noon in March. Stay at Banyan Tree Hotel near Shuhe Ancient Town, which is also a super five-star hotel in the local area. The location of the hotel is very good, when there are no clouds, you can clearly see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance.

It is said that there will be a romantic encounter when you come to Yunnan, and it is also a little expectation.

The ancient town was quiet, and then I went to the ancient city of Lijiang, only to find that the ancient town of Shuhe was still relatively original. The store opened after 10 a.m. and closed at 7 or 8 p.m. As the tour guide said, what is not lacking in Yunnan is sunshine and time, and there is no rush and nervousness of mainlanders at all.

The arrangement on the first day was to find a local tour guide and drive the car to take us around various scenic spots, of course, the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was the first. The water in Blue Moon Valley is indeed blue, this season is off-season and not a holiday, and there are not many people. At first glance, it is an Internet celebrity check-in place, and all kinds of poses for boys and girls are counted. In fact, there was little interest, and a few people walked around on foot.

The unexpected surprise was along the hiking trail, with few people and good scenery, and several people walked for almost an hour at an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters. It can also be regarded as getting rid of the routine of getting in the car to sleep and getting out of the car to take pictures.

And the next Yuhu Village is also a different scene. To Yuhu Village, you need to hike three kilometers to Yuhu Lake. This section of the road has also come a long way. When several people returned, they didn't want to leave, so they took a Yunnan horse back for 10 yuan each. It's also an experience. Yuhu Village also retains the characteristics of Yunnan's ethnic minorities and does not have a strong commercial atmosphere.

The intense and fulfilling day ends with a delicious meal, the average altitude of Lijiang is 2,400 meters, and for mainlanders, there is still altitude sickness. And I tossed and turned at night to sleep, and I actually had insomnia, and later consulted the tour guide and said that it was normal.

The next day was to charter a car to Dali, and Dali was too big, and there was nothing better for half a day, and it was a bit of a pity to return early, and I was ready to leave a miss and come back next time!

A hurried two-day trip is only to experience a corner of Yunnan, feel the freezing people in the morning and evening every day, the hot people at noon, the blue sky and white clouds, maybe you should really order a pot of tea, sit quietly and be in a daze is the best way to enjoy the blue sky and white clouds of Yunnan.

In Yunnan, there are many delicacies, all kinds of mushrooms, tea, beef, and then flower cakes all over the street. Overall, Yunnan's food is acceptable, the taste is moderate, especially all kinds of mushrooms, the taste is great!
