Dayan's old town is the ancient city of Lijiang area, a place full of magic. It is located in more than 2000 meters above sea level plateau where the city gardening every family and every household water, sturdy stone path guide you immersed in the ancient city of ordered structure and deep heritage, the kind of beauty and fresh atmosphere, blending the comfort of people refreshing. Some of the Yulong Snow Mountain outside the city holy and beautiful Lashihai, and then farther away, there is a quiet lake, and stunning Tiger Leaping Gorge. Standing than the bustling Nanjing Road, the ancient streets still look distant quiet Yulong Snow Mountain, sitting in the bar before the stream to see around the corners of the country by various actors, you know Dayan Old Town What makes him so attractive.
But such an ancient city has been quietly living in his own way, until a few years ago, they became quite famous, the suddenly fire up, reportedly because of a major earthquake in 2096, there is an argument as a person -- - Lost Horizon. "No there is no Lijiang Xuan Ke," Lost Horizon, himself said that was enough to reflect his self-confidence and arrogance. Xuan Ke was born in powerful Naxi family, a child at home would invite a German nurse, received a good education, and later because of the Cultural Revolution, to imprisonment for twenty years, but this did not destroy his will, after his release from his commitment to to save the endangered Naxi ancient music, their finishing together to form an essential cultural landscape of Lijiang. Today's Lost Horizon, although more than 70 years old but hale and hearty, the daily show Naxi ancient music of his personal speech is almost entirely self-thought coupled with unrestrained in English so that people aspire to full field games.
To truly enjoy the Naxi ancient music is best to Ancient Music Palace, or in the wooden pavilion in front of House San Qingdian free. Wood House is well worth a visit the ancient city where the local equivalent of the National Palace Museum in Beijing's position that it was the palace of the rulers toast. Wood House was built in the Ming Dynasty, toast they want to do a good job with the Ming Dynasty the powerful tribes in the surrounding to survive, so they study and promotion of Chinese culture. In the wooden door to the south there is a government "rain Liufang," the arch, which is a transliteration of the Naxi language, meaning to study it, It is obvious that the Chinese cultural emphasis on toast.
Wood House, to build the whole ride west to east, and in general completely different faces south, but it is self-justified. At that time the Ming capital of Nanjing in the east, east, Yiyu yearned for the court, while the wood south of the Yulong Snow Mountain House and the north of the white tiger, white tiger hill forming the left Dragon right trend, feng shui is really a rare treasure. Whole building patchwork, compact peerless great traveler Xu Xia-ke this has been called "the court may on the king of Korea," sighs.
Toast in the main 19 The most famous is the man pages where "cutting instructions from the pro-stock" high wooden toast, and officers and two monks toast wood products. Wood hate smart unusual childhood, his government under the leadership of the wood to reach its peak, but his 39-year-old Shi Que Yongtui rapids, in the wood behind the government built a religious San Qingdian with great concentration, 68 at the age of enlightenment Shengxian so far did not find his grave. San Qingdian next to a Cooper was very peculiar, and downward growth of leaves and branches, wood is said to hate soaring through the tree, so the tenrai split this tree, let it backwards long, so that future generations can no longer use it rocketing a.
There are many legends on the wooden monks, the most famous is his Shengxian previously said, "Four hundred years after the collapse of the Yulong Snow Mountain, the Jinsha River water drying up, then I will come back to rebuild my home." Four hundred years later in 1996, Lijiang occurred in 7.2 major earthquake epicenter in the ancient city of great research. Yulong 13 peaks caused by the earthquake in a mountain collapsed, slide of rocks and mountains blocking the Jinsha River to make it stop 40 minutes after the ancient city of the United Nations funds and wood billion for the government restored. All 11 validation, but amazing.
The famous old town Square Street and other shops lined the streets, full of foreign businessmen, and a wide range of visitors, commercial gas deep but could not conceal the birth of the ancient streets of elegant sophistication. Especially at night, sitting in the stand where eating Lijiang stream flavor dishes, watch shops in front of a string of red lanterns and extending along the streams, gorgeous reflection from time to time have been floating in the water off a lamp WATER LANTERNS break, this situation Cijing can be said to enjoy life a.
Lijiang to see the lives of people authentic when we go food market, five minutes from the Wood House will be to the north. The food market is huge, and its rich variety of vegetables and fruits, from south to north there are mountains, Acura produced, not only a big and delicious and inexpensive, there are a variety of wild fungi and ferns such as Yunnan specialties , dressed in traditional costumes of the Naxi woman sitting quietly in his booth, there is no selling, and noisy, but with the simplicity of the eyes watching you, for you to show the real life Naxi Ren. .
Lijiang is a new city out of farms, and now many are from the ancient Naxi Ren moved to New City, the ancient city where a lot of old houses have been tired of city life dominated by outsiders, the outside people who want to come in, which people who want to go out, a living siege. Maybe a few years later would become rich and live together here, the back garden, leaving only a shell there is no culture of Lijiang Naxi Ren. But no matter how they change it is a beautiful and fascinating place.
