Walking in Yunnan Province in western Lambswool Shepherdess of four authors from the plane straight down, the ancient city of Lijiang, just slap a big, distinguish between the Yulong Snow Mountain on the snow and clouds. After the plane is not air shuttle, with a partnership of young people a taxi to the Lijiang city, along the way it talks to become friends, touring together on tourism and joint bargain. Peer Old Lee's high standard of haggling is admirable, two-star hotel by his port 50 Yuan a day / Inter-win, really good condition. Washing is completed, has come in the evening, walked all the way to the Old Town of Lijiang. Lijiang City is built after the earthquake, for a small city, a little modern flavor; Lijiang Old Town and New Town in stark contrast to bluestone paving, small bridges, antique shop in a loft, coarse clothing of the Naxi old too, a small restaurant recipes written in English ... ... all in all definitely not pretentious, as if the clock back back to the ancient history, a small shop crafts, batik made me feel very fresh. The coffee shop in town a short drink, and shop owner casually talk about, do not have some funny. Cheap restaurants in the small town benefits, a number of foreign patrons, that is owed a little local flavor.
If people interested in music may have heard of Naxi ancient music, is said to be the most complete ancient music, watch a lot of people, tickets are expensive, I can not buy votes, next to the audio-visual store, going to buy a Naxi ancient music of the cd, Lyrics of what is really did not understand, but also knew it nicely and comfortable, so I do not listen worth mentioning, maybe my ears can enjoy the opera is not enough taste bar.
The next day, at a friend's suggestion to participate in day trips along the Yulong Snow Mountain (own car is not worth), inexpensive, Yulong Snow Mountain is the nearest snow-capped mountains from the city, in this way has a dilapidated white sand paintings can be seen, if the not specifically this Road, then not expected to like. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain near a large pond, the water is very clear and there can be riding a yak camera. Renting an oxygen bag, take the cable car to reach the Yulong Snow Mountain is about 4200 meters above sea level areas, and then climb, you need oxygen in. In the top of the hill, a good open view of distant mountains and the sky the same color green, lush forests, blue sky overhead, side, at the foot of soft snow, this feels really good to describe. I grew up for the Northwest, if the Kunlun Mountains, the snow snow than the style of Han dynasty, Yulong Snow Mountain snow is dressed in a white dress of young women who do not have some flavor. Have thoroughly enjoyed themselves, the oxygen will be used up, and go back and realize that when the angle is almost perpendicular to the cable car, with a little stimulation. In the return journey, the tour has a strong religious flavor of the Dongba Cultural Park, then scroll painting inside a tale that is very similar to Fengdu ghost town in the karma cycle of reincarnation, symbolizing the supernatural, yin and yang, the genitals of a variety of wooden statue erected in foot of the mountain open space, in the wind quite a few mystery.
After dinner, the way they walk to the ancient town of Lijiang, the saw a group of costume lady attend-WATER LANTERNS, enthusiastic and measured with the marketing, I bought a 2 WATER LANTERNS, and devout wife squatted a small river murmuring quietly Hsu had one wish, would be WATER LANTERNS cautiously into the water, and was beautiful to import more than a dozen WATER LANTERNS WATER LANTERNS team, little lights, floating along the currents drift ah ah until we do not see so far, this What a romantic evening.

It is worth mentioning that in the tiger jumped the town put in time to see many dressed in national costumes of the vendors and some agricultural products not seen in town. On this day worn out and buy the next day at 2 pm sent to Dali's coach, had an early break.
Early the next day a tour of what Jade Spring Park, which is said to shine on snow-capped mountains, bridges, pavilions a good location, and many paintings were used for propaganda and Lijiang photograph. However, there is not much scenery within the meaning of tickets are still relatively expensive.
