Back to Lijiang, a very strange, even used the word "return" is used. I remember a folk legend, after death must return to the places you left footprints to pick up one by one, then we can no regrets. It appears that what may be pre-existence owe Lijiang is a pre-existence of the footprints. I want them to have to pick it up.
Many people like to Lijiang, because of Lijiang mountain, Lijiang water, Lijiang alley ... ... and I liked the story of Lijiang. Back to Lijiang, a very strange, even used the word "return" is used.

Many people like to Lijiang, because of Lijiang mountain, Lijiang water, Lijiang alley ... ... and I liked the story of Lijiang. Lijiang, because that is the whole reason is full of charm and vitality. Since it is returned, then a lot of places have already been to, and carrying hand-painted Lijiang affiliation maps, I have to hand-painted one belongs only to find, like me, like the story map.
Lijiang street can have a lot of forks, tour guides will tell you "everything is so smooth out of the city, against the current back to the city," to say. I chose the Sun Yee On Street, rather than Natiao festooned with red lanterns of the "bar street."
The first "Sunshine * and",
A typical urban model, high stool foot bar, light blues. Small bottle of beer. The sentiment that the cocktails you can drink a pity that point, the handsome little brother had said there was no smile. Later, before we know, is simply will not be adjusted. Just pathetic this is said to have spent 80 million yuan to renovate the house. If it is inside the city you will probably have been like a kind of similar feeling. But it is not I want the feeling of Lijiang.
Walk along the river, the right hand side is the "free commune" is the name I like, some of the former Soviet Union feeling. Very small, but 4,5-table, and sometimes encounter long-haired boss, said boss, but no boss. But bicycles can be rented. In the small garden, there's outdoor seating you can sit, very small, they can only sit two people only.
Left hand less than 50 meters, that is, "LAMU" S house of Tibet ", there is no Chinese name bar. Two-story coffee shop, but also very few Chinese people's shadow. Many are foreigners who talks a lot about presence. A bit like a side of the The "wood" where to sell records, almost all foreign music.
Followed by "rock bar" last year, when still called the "ancient Gesen Lin" compared to, I prefer the former name, looked up, realized that two open-air balcony on the floor That tree is gone. Which is no wonder, no wood, only stones.
In the corner is the "HAKU", remember that the Chinese name is "Aku", in front of a water by. A Ku operator is a small husband and wife, had a spacious two floor by their own games into a whole between a computer, but only to the boss used to play the game. Hee hee, very cute two people, the purpose of opening this shop, turned out to be fun. To listen to the boss said that he originally wanted to open one's own coffee, put your favorite LPs. If you come, and bosses to talk about the record, it must be agnostic in his music. If the afternoon, you see four individuals in front of the store playing cards, no doubt, are the bosses of fun with their coolie had.
Along the path to a fork in the road, a bend, we come to a pretty neat square, here is a small Square Street, and to "the ancient city of the International Youth Hostel," the only way. Lijiang city is only a four-star hotel "Yulong Garden," the entrance of the.
Here, it is the foreigner staff one of the "CHINA" travel book written by "DONG BA HOUSE", is also the first batch of Lijiang, a cafe. "Dongba House," the bar is not, your many beautiful photos in the decoration, which are a masterpiece of the former owner of Tashi. Heard, the light has been spent on the cost of photography on the hundreds of thousands of. Unfortunately, had a spacious courtyard was converted into a standard room. However, if you are their guest, then there is a good place, in a small house on the 2nd floor, there's a small terrace umbrellas was very pleasant.
In the "Dongba House" next to that I almost missed "Jane Eyre Cafe" the. A big tree covered in signs, the door's side last year, I feel ashamed of English is not good advertising is also a blank wall. On the second floor, I asked, could see Mody? Boss smiled and said, just behind you, a turn around. Sure enough, that is legendary with "Jade Dragon Snow Mountain" as the background of the balcony. Was a child, liked to see "Jane Eyre", because of a desire to equality and freedom of love. And since the network to see the "Jane Eyre" description, a name on the phrase "The only way to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain's Cafe," come into view. So, when I set foot on the stairs, the first one is asked, can see Mody?
Boss and buddy to my first feeling was one of Hao Hei, Oh, then I heard that they are will bring guests to the best of the local self-help travel on foot to accompany, and then look in that great pile of their own making across Yunnan photos, it felt very match. Can be encountered in sub-paragraph boss, is a very happy thing, he said that I was truly happy endless. Who do not have to go, those who have not yet been developed areas, have been alive, he said, let me echocardiography endless. Here, not to mention drink a tunnel current grinding arabica coffee, eat the most famous french fries. Dan vegetables alone, can already be seen in "Jane Eyre" unique, it is above the main, of course, coffee, packed 2 large page, and the careful marking of the main materials and ingredients, so I choose have to be assured that this is what I have seen the most complete in Lijiang dishes once a coffee.
I have been looking inside the Japanese-style small, the short paragraphs that if you want, you can Quzuo呀. Oh, I would have embarrassed a man accounted for a large area. Subparagraph told me a few months before, to the six clients a day, nothing else to go, that is, come here, lie there, eating and drinking, reading, sleeping for three days. Oh, there seems to be better than I know how to enjoy the guy. Later got to know each, and I had the privilege of drinking with small pieces of authentic kung-fu tea, that is, in my favorite Japanese-style small room. Who says that Chinese tea can not be equipped with a tatami.
2nd floor, sitting on the balcony of a person Zhanzhao four tables, just to see the distance in Wonderland-like clouds, which have allowed me drunk. Walking on the road watching beautiful women, handsome guy who one is not aware of, also as a scenic tourist downstairs, with intake of the lens. Secretly say that you can dominate this seat in an afternoon one day, definitely not someone to rush you. Additional sentence, "Jane Eyre" is also unique composition, Bai, Yi, Naxi, coupled with my Han Chinese, the whole a great national unity. :) (The figure is the evening when "Jane Eyre" on the balcony filming Yulong Snow Mountain)
Down the stairs and continue walking. After the "Jade Dragon Garden" and turn right at the next intersection is "Meath Xiang" the. More like a restaurant. Bar table filled with all kinds of wines and spirits. This is the name of the French invest in a bar. Also a restaurant, to connect the restaurant's open-air office filled with white umbrellas. Here, you can drink a very authentic brew, but we must have the French people in the time honored oh.
Down, and streaky stones began to have the road downhill. Not far away, is the "BLUE PAGE", its doors are sliding door must be removed before the door, but there are steps of cafes, and shops that open the door to do business is different than in a fun of yourself . What impressed me most is that they inserted the flowers, and every day passing by, feel that there is with the best. Although the countryside is nothing but Xianhua, but it is very fresh.
Left-hand side of the "Well Zhuo" is newly renovated bar, the paint is still new. Its one side is that you can directly drink spring water, but for the sake of my health, I give up this opportunity to pat pictures suffice. "Well Zhuo" generally do not have anything, I hid a two floor, they do have a pleasant quiet.
Out, is a forked junction. If you right away is the "Prague", and unfortunately, less a small male dog big place, so how I could not find feeling.
Just follow the road to the left, you can down the river until the "big stone", stream side of all restaurants. After a large stone bridge, I remember walking down the lane. Over there and our destination.
The first is the "Bluebird Cafe", and in that two linshui opposite the inn, there is always one-inch head shaving with the girls sitting over there, I heard that it is the proprietress.
To a small wooden bridge, which is "Lun Bulang Cafe" the. A separate cabin, and the "Meath Xiang" and "Little Paris" with the French people hold the bar when compared to the worst one of the business. However, it is a small room, you can still find a home. Perhaps because the French boss and his Chinese girlfriend has been the relationship between the bar in the store.
Bridge Across the street, "Niya gallery," said coffee shop, how played a gallery's name, the original which hung a variety of Tibetan style, then a pity that all printed materials. However, its Linchuang seats, there are still several small bridges to other people's charm. I remember on the lampshade, there is a live Lingling dragonflies parked.
Gone two steps, that is, "Yu Shui House", and is the most I've ever seen do not know how to locate the coffee shop, and indeed where it is absolutely all of the bars must be more than just great pity is that there is no feeling. How should I say, as some restaurants in the city bar. Perhaps yes, because I come to Lijiang're looking for a sense of personal advice and open a restaurant, may be more suited to it.
Finally, take a 5-step bar, across the small wooden bridge, is the "Left Bank cafes." Also is my favorite style. Very strange, on the back, they must without it. Sure enough, later, and the girls chatted in the store know that the "Left Bank" is indeed only opened soon. Decoration, the only simple to use a dark brown color and logs. The most favorite is the waterfront seating, coupled with bookshelves, sofas, as if previously generous home stocked with a small living room. People do not come, you can also enjoy the cozy alone.
I like to eat western food in the cafe, but not used in the restaurant for coffee. This is perhaps something I wrote more than obvious reasons for personal preferences included bar.
And then move a little Robert. Sullivan's words, "we could not afford to buy luxury yacht or a new car, or even almost could not pay their mortgages. But every day this time, at least ease the selection of a cup of their own afford to pay money to the coffee. "
