The morning of September 6, from the ancient city of Dali Quartet Inn out of the inn door and ran into that, "Gullit", like analog plot gestures Taijiquan. Is a cloudy morning, the distant clouds Cangshan still dip into, I can not help but be concerned for Sanmei they still be able to board Cangshan today.
From Dali to Lijiang has three and a half hours drive out of the car, after the ancient city of Dali in the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake road between the old city, with three towers, Yan Jia Da Yuan a month of being left in the dust, my thoughts are also gradually away from Dali, drifting into the Lijiang. The way to Lijiang many mountain, a high mountain cloud thick, often in the mist of driving the car, outside a few meters would be impossible, and the car passengers are very nervous, a vigor in advised the driver to open more slowly. Nearly noon, clouds have dispersed, the sun was shining, this is my first one came to Yunnan sunny day, my mood is also exceptionally good.
In my imagination where the ancient city of Lijiang, with its ancient walls and gates, but when I approached it, the first thing that catches your eyes is that the old waterwheel, and which Zuozuo blue gray houses, no walls and gates of the barrier. Walking in the block by a brick-paved street, flanked by old houses, gurgling stream flows from the street, the street where floating melodious Naxi ancient music, I feel like being in paradise.
Speaking of Old Town of Lijiang, the ancient city of the streams can not be said, allegedly from the Yulong Snow Mountain streams of snow, almost ancient city's every street has a stream, and some streams from the Naxi people's front of the flow, and some streams from the others flow out of the window, and some stream flows from the yard of others before, is that these streams so that the ancient city to life again, with the Aura. After it rains, streams and submerged streets, the ancient stone road washing clean.
I settled is that one hundred years of history of the houses, "shock imperfections," I walked half the city I found the delight of the residence, its name comes from the streams flowing through the garden at the moment, it streams to wear Guo Garden, through the kitchen, out of hospital, the acoustic "imperfections." The house owner was a middle-aged man surnamed Li, is a good talker, every night there is another one tenant must Wolia talk late into the night, the house's history, Lijiang scenery, local customs, he also saw the heard stories of visitors to write down.
To Lijiang the same day afternoon I met three people, when I was preparing to enjoy called the "Lijiang first surface" of the soybean side, they talk about laughter caught my attention, a man and two women were to drink tea and chat them that I was A few days traveling with a partner, a man called from Shenzhen humor Szeto, two from Hangzhou, a beautiful little girl, and Xu Jing-Jing.
Lijiang is the most glamorous night, the night fell, temporary stream of bars and restaurants with lights, people sitting waterside drinking beer, eating Naxi food, laughter diffuse in the ancient city of the night. Every two-day night in an empty field has a Square Street bonfire party, Naxi Ren and tourists wearing traditional clothing danced around the bonfire Naxi dance, Naxi ritual dance is said to be used to ask God for. I have good luck, the first one to catch up with a bonfire night party, everyone holding hands while dancing around the campfire to sing, there is a Naxi Ren cheerful song with the flute blowing, jump a few songs, I also take the sweat out of the atmosphere that made me happy that not tired, but for fear of a very quiet gentleman of Stuart and the small Hsu station for too long, I really want to skip to the end of evening.
That night I slept in one hundred years of history of the church house, looked on gurgling sound of flowing water into the dreamland
