Shangri-La departure from the morning of days inundated with rain, I sat in the location of the last wagon, with feelings of loss back to Lijiang.
After five-hour long journey to finally have the car parked in front of the hotel. The tour has already exhausted one after another room to rest, and I choose another section of his own journey - Old Town of Lijiang.
From the gate into the ancient city, a stone road on both sides of Qi Li are many shops and furnishings with rich local characteristics of the craft. May be just that once the rain has resulted in not many visitors within the city from time to time to see the owner of several shops to suffer at the door pulled the parents to each other. Perhaps it is because the feelings of lost everything, and there is not much shopping desires, just want to walk, but do not know where to go, just want to escape the kind of inexplicable disputes inexplicable troubles.
Wide road gradient, wind in the babble of water accompanied by the sound of the gently Piaowu switchgrass. Shops on both sides were separated by a river, one high and one low. This river runs through the entire city, to be called the ancient city of the Dragon, the small river water downstream from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, on down, especially the Blanchir, occasionally can see a few fish in the water free play. Around champion bridge, they entered the heart of old city - Square Street. Is said to be more lively at night here, where Naxi Ren gathering place, here is the event held at the local Naxi Ren is also the Naxi Ren the welcoming place. I chose a shade of a tree and sat down next to a kindly grandmother, his arms holding a sleeping baby, quiet, well-being are all portrayal here. Came the sound of distant music, Naxi Ren began to dance, and they were holding hands in a circle, marching cheerful steps, symbolizing a kind of unity. Heard that this is their daily activities, a part of life.
The trip, from the Square Street of an alley into the Po, but found that side-street in this small town there are a courtyard, erected beside the sign reads in the national orphanage in Lijiang, which is very quiet, I explore at the door of the look, the door told me that children have not yet awake, or else you can go and play with them. At the door stood a moment, the immediate picture emerges out of a beautiful, innocent little children, you are not alone, love your people a lot.
Unconsciously, that they have entered the city around the southwest at the front is not far from the ancient city of Mu's toast Street gate, commonly known as "Wood House." Wood House did not go inside to visit, but a popular tourist explorers apothegms Xu Xia-gram timber has been able to understand how brilliant the government, "palace of the United States, to be king." For more on this expression is not the elite, but the city's prosperity.
The government side of the wood seems to have been like the depths of the ancient city, visitors have begun to back away. Go one afternoon, the city's quiet if we could get upset lost my calm mood, here feel like being in another world, a world without strife, no troubled world. Finally decided to stop and come to Lijiang rake a rake, to a cup of tea, sat down beside the willow, listening to the gurgling sound of water, a man quietly enjoy the tranquility of this unique, where , life can be so cozy the original! Old Town of Lijiang, one day, two days, it can be a lifetime!
