Picturesque landscapes, still in the dream. Cultural landscape Simple and elegant, the ancient city of residence are caused by twists and turns, high and low scattered, small bridges. In the ancient city is behind the mystery of the Yulong Snow Mountain high above the ancient city water came from snow-capped mountains, pure and sacred, small stream, weeping willows, I sat in a rattan chair, in front of the wooden table is capped with blue blue batik pattern tablecloth, drinking tea, and sipped Lijiang Baba, at the foot of a small white dog was safely asleep, fragmented stream some villagers in the vegetables, there are people playing chess at the roadside, along the street is marked with a variety of text sign shops. On the streets there have been a variety of color, who speak various languages Xianting walking, I have some doubts whether the front of all this is true, as if in a dream place, I really hope that time can be solidified at this moment, I here, turned into a carved oak, forever keep in that the banks of streams. I feel that this is what I have been looking for the dream of Shangri-La.

This is the Dayan town, that people long to say Old Town of Lijiang. I was in the year two thousand came here in July. This season, in areas where most of China is the hot summer, but in here, I have to put on your coat. Here in the 2500 meters above sea level around, if you are a first visit to the plateau will be a slight discomfort. Boiling water to 70 degrees already at the boiling, cooked rice is also a half-baked, and some half-cooked, we know that Yunnan has a 18 odd surprise, has now become a 81 strange, which "Lijiang rice as a bullet" is the This is one of 81 odd.

Every day a different feel, every day there are not the same mood, which is what I feel in Lijiang. Xinhua street Cuiwen in Section 114, there was a family name what's selling tie-dyed Naxi girl with black hair and big eyes, where I bought the white flowers of the tie-dye blue handkerchief, gave much a friend in Beijing. Tie-dye and batik different tie-dye is the first line of fabric with flower-shaped according to the required tie, and then into the dye liquor in the formation of specific patterns. Batik is the first wax to draw designs on the fabric, and then into the dye, and then boiling water to wax, there are single color dyeing and re-stained two kinds of color. Along the street of wooden pillars, wooden doors, Kihana windows, antique; shop front, dressed in traditional Naxi costumes, as well as being woven hemp-old mother, quaint and relaxed. Lijiang markets alone single-lane street with distinguishing features. Turned Jishan Lane came Xinyi Street, here is the洋人街city to connect with Mississippi Jishan Lane and Lane. Eastern and Western cultures in the same street mastery, style, flavor variety, different. And the market near the river, bridges weeping willow. At the foot of the stone is a stone paved by the streaky Tea-Horse Road, in the east coast of calligraphy and painting can buy antiques, clothing, wood carvings, handicrafts such as Naxi, Lijiang Baba taste in the West Bank, flour fruit rice, buttered tea, chickens, grass jelly, beans, meat, 1000 Naxi flavor, etc., or to the adjacent blue pages and other Western restaurants change of diet can also be a small bar in the river, or chatting with friends online by sending EMAIL.

Naxi ancient Ming and Qing Dynasties to retain residential buildings are mostly "SNAP five yards," "Three Square a screen wall," the courtyard structure, special is its beams on the outside hanging the plank, in the lower end has a different wood-block carving, fish-representative "annual surplus", that wealthy. Flower-shaped, said at home "and women to be married," Peach's said that "students everywhere," the teacher stated that this is a place to live.

Moving forward, in the Mississippi Lane at a gentle slope, you will find a unique Jing-quan - "Can Yi Quan." The exit of the spring with stones piled a barrier to spring surrounded by a lake, springs translucent crystal, holy no time, Qinglie sweet. This spring is a monocular wells, for drinking water, special, fountain with small bowl to facilitate the passers-by drinking water, in addition to a monument, engraved with the Convention on protecting wells. Traditional city Jing-Quan, mostly sanyanjing, such as the East River in a civilized Lane, next to the Ganse spring, Jing-Quan by pressing the water flows from top to bottom even into three pools, the first spring for drinking water, special, and the second spring dedicated to vegetables, the third spring for the laundry-specific, three spring one, each has its use, we can see the ancient city were simple and sincere.

City's water from the river source Heilongtan jade from Yulong Bridge will be one out of three to become the East River, Middle River and Nishikawa. Which in the Mississippi River through the lane until the big stone bridge near the big stone bridge built in the Ming generation, because the river under the bridge can see the reflection of the Yulong Snow Mountain, also known as Ying-Xue bridge. Double-hole stone arch bridge, bridge length 10 meters wide and four meters, the bridge deck paving stone streaky to connect with Hermes Lane and Square Street. Night to Dashiqiao concept of water, the water full moon, sparkling, flow of shock, Din Din pound, and never stopped. If we are lucky, but also see the release bearing lights, to send paper boats and other traditional practices. Through the large stone bridge is the famous Square Street, and legendary wood that year's toast to his men according to his seal, with streaky paved with stones in the ancient city center of about 400 square meters square of the square, this square has four street , light-Yi Street, 71 Street, 51 Street and the Xinhua street, thus extending to all sides of each street there are a few lanes further four weeks of radiation to form Square Street as the center of the city market, and therefore Square Street the right to town, meaning the Quartet, the overall shape of the ancient city went so far as to reflect the centralization of power thinking. Square Street vendors gathered, tourists bustling, all kinds of merchandise dazzling, ancient handicrafts, modern living appliances, as well as the traditional Naxi food, making a visual mess. Night after midnight, where people lit bonfires, a circle, playing song and dance.

Colorful culture of the Naxi, Han, Bai, Yi, Tibetan, Naxi and Western culture in this integration of intersection, the ancient Dongba religion, Zang Buddhism, Christianity in this inclusive. Naxi Dongba hieroglyphs known as "the origin and development of characters living fossils." Baisha Naxi music in small holes through the music, Taoism, Confucianism, the ceremony music as the carrier, to retain part of the Tang, Yuan, Ming's speech, Tune, miscellaneous song music and the characteristics of Naxi ancient music combines advantages of various genres of music to create a unique East Pakistani music has been the world known as the "Voice of Peace." I hope this peace will never be able to play audio and go, so that future generations have the dream of Shangri-La.
