 My sister and I took the opportunity from the Beijing Capital Airport to Kunming to Lijiang and then turn and started the 12-day trip to Lijiang.

D1 days

eight in the morning half from Beijing Capital Airport, after three-hour flight to Kunming, lunch at noon precisely, we will be luggage storage at the Kunming airport, take a anyone to ride back to the city of Kunming to the vicinity of a golden juice old hot pot restaurants, taste the characteristics of Yunnan pot - pot bacteria, to the four strains, the name can not remember, anyway, are usually eat vain, and we point to Chang Changxian, full palate, there is a bacteria is not very good taste, ingest slippery, soft, cooked the folder does not up to the nose shape. They spend 275 yuan ate a crooked belly, because the afternoon of plane is 4:40, and there is time, we have along the long road to walk on golden juice and watch the view of Kunming city and the street, but also the way consumer digestion.

taxi from the airport in Kunming City is only 10 dollars, good luggage check-out, take off on time, 5:40 to reach the end of this trip - Lijiang. Tai Ancient Town of Lijiang Airport about 30 kilometers, we took the air bus 15 yuan per person, flights to Lijiang, the public car station, the car, it felt a chill, Although there have been mentally prepared, but the temperature is lower than we think , it is about 20 degrees, I hasten to wear long-sleeved coat, and urging my sister to wear trousers. From the station to our scheduled classes Wangjiazhuang city taxi for 10 yuan Inn, in August, more people travel to Lijiang, a taxi but had a lot of passengers, fare a little time we played, waiting for the bus when the weather changed suddenly, cool scratch, while light rain rains, can not help but get goose bumps until cold. Fortunately, about 20 minutes of waiting, finally hit the car. Wangjiazhuang most outside the inn in the ancient city, Lijiang City, the first school from the close, we get off from here, to contact the innkeeper, wait come to collusion. Ctrip scheduled through the inn, and find the inn for fear of the fear of Lijiang in trouble, so the have to run in Beijing after finishing ahead of schedule, and price 200 yuan per day including breakfast, we booked 2 days. Interestingly, the inn owner from Beijing Liang, live in Beijing Dongsishitiao, opened the inn in Lijiang have three or four years, he has an Alto car, license plate number figures for 4216, and I like the landline phone number , a little fate.

we live in more remote inn, very few visitors come from the inn had a small bridge along the water, then into the city streets, the streets quiet, occasionally pedestrian walk, night approaching, I and sister walking in the street in a little bit lonely feeling. About 500 meters away, the more flow of people up front, shops are ablaze with lights, and store tightly connected with each selling yak meat, shawls, ornaments, silverware, there are a variety of local hand-made calligraphy, jade and so on. We did not want to buy anything, just as the crowd left, the right look. Streets are narrow, the junction is also more necessary to pay attention to every note of an intersection a sign, so no way to come. The night is a lively city, people rub elbows and to the tiny city streets has already reached saturation point, when to end the hustle and bustle of the day we also need to attend to accompany back to the inn rest ready for tomorrow's trip.

D2 days

Today's plan is to pull the city to see the sea and the Beam River, after breakfast, we walk in the street, head run into a hustler, she said to Lashihai and the Beam River chartered 50, also 50 Shuhe free tickets. Let a friend had recommended that when the Old Town of Lijiang and last couple chartered a pair of relative cost is, is that they will not? I hurriedly asked to: your last name, your husband name? She said the couple were first and last, and come up with ID cards to us, and we believe in they are recommended by a friend who chartered, but he kept saying what a coincidence , coming to the group, reminding visitors online street soliciting, then do not believe we threw behind long been thrown outside the cloud, and we walked side chat, I feel quite warm, and she always gave us fruit where to buy cheap, live shop where the safety, reasonable price and how to arrange travel routes, where the famous local wax delicious ribs and so on, not to mention put a little heart.

Lashihai more than ten kilometers away from Lijiang ancient city, driving thirty minutes to go. We pulled the driver to place a so-called ticket, saw the wall paper with the handwritten lines and prices, her crooked, and a look on the very formal, a short while, it was introduced over the lines and corresponding tour prices, line three hours, according to riding time, the line length of 380 yuan, 250 yuan and 200 yuan, both of us chose the longest circuit in one of the tourist Lashihai.

Lashihai Tourism must be riding to the landscape, walking is not the line, along the way, in fact, can not call it road, mud, and the ma niu, horse feces, forming a collection of horse to go In the above slip from time to time, we're holding hands the reins, the body stiff inconsistent with the pace of the horse swinging, always worried about would be to fall into the mud in the fall, two hours of riding, has failed to release the hand reins, dismount, the buttocks, arms, legs, feet and waist, no one hurt's.

road difficult, but the scene was very beautiful, blue sky, white clouds of cotton three-dimensional, crystal clear rivers, surrounded by rolling hills, ah, beautiful. Despite all the way to smell the smell of horse, accompanied by the mud all the way, but worth it.

Lashihai out from the already close to noon, the driver pick us to Lijiang City, Mengzi bridge noodle shop to eat a noodle, but the people have a lot of small stores, almost no empty seats, rush to buy rice noodle is also with money, business is booming, we spend 30 yuan to buy two bowls, squeeze a seat upstairs to sit down, noodle taste good enough amount. Eat here, like with the war, they must attack the slightest hesitation, she stood holding the bowl to eat.

next goal is to Beam River, Beam River Ancient Town of Lijiang is also not far away from the driver to take us down a path, the road is almost no vehicles, and perhaps this is the right way fare evasion. Soon Kung Fu, Beam River's arch stands in front of us on, photographed Needless to say, braving the scorching sun as fire, kind of feeling can not wait, jumped into the ancient city.

Beam River Ancient Town city slightly smaller than the big, strong commercial atmosphere together gradually, closely linked to the shops on both sides of the street, covered with all kinds of goods, clothing, food, accessories for the majority, inexpensive but not cheap, true, then should make a bargain buy for the job had taken advantage of when a fix for. Front of the houses behind the house had running water, described as

here without a lot of time wandering around the ancient city will be able to switch to finish, about more than two hours, viewing the city's streets have been bought bottles of water sitting in the shade, listening to the music floating bar , accompanied by the clear sound of water, is a quiet, pleasant to enjoy.

beam river back, we returned the Wangjiazhuang Inn, turn stay to the Naxi impression that this is the recommended driver, his family and relatives to open, standard room 140 yuan, round the clock hot water, free long distance calls, because the standard rooms are fully booked that day, the inn gave us a triple room, the price is still 140 yuan, Oh, that accounted for cheap.

D3 days

Yulong Snow Mountain is the focus of our trip to visit one day before and the drivers speak good price, chartered 150 yuan a day, chatting with the inn package fare to tourists They book through Ctrip 190 per day fare packages, compare, we are convinced that he did not fooled, and some complacency yet.

morning, the weather is gloomy, not effort it began to rain, the weather in Lijiang said that as they please, perhaps I will be turned fine on it, we follow and the driver predetermined time, place, Yulong Snow Mountain to go according to plan. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain on the way the driver reminded us that 3300 meters above sea level, oxygen can be prepared points, rent pieces of cotton, said cotton to the Yulong Snow Mountain and then hire more people possession of clothes, we listened to his advice, he recommended and took us from the path side of a shop rented two coat, purchased two bottles of 600 milliliters of compressed oxygen, 60 per bottle, the store said this is the best oxygen, clothes, rent 35 yuan each, spent a total of 190 yuan, plus 200 deposit. To remind the driver of the meticulous and presentations, we kinda moved later, before we know we have a lot of money he was black.

rain falls, the rhythm, there is no means to stop. Yulong Snow Mountain reaching the ticket office in less than an hour, at this time, the park entrance is full of people, but the tours have also to put a ticket packed, we only bought two Yunshanping (55 per million) and cable (20 yuan per person) of the votes, Maoniuping for is rest, the inconvenience to. Shuttle bus departure hall to the rain, but the 100 meters, and many visitors have been soaked shoes and pants, a few of the older elderly, the side of the pants on his hands twisted, backwards shoes in the rain, while complaining guide , tour guides do nothing, I feel wronged, saying his shoes and pants are wet, you came I do not fly over.

shuttle bus arrangement is not compact, a lot of visitors, while the ferry car is not immediately start, rains, cold days, although almost everyone wore a rented coat, but each person's face are cold skin tight, suffused with goose bumps.

more than 20 minutes by shuttle bus to the entrance to the cable, people have been waiting in a long colorful team name colored umbrellas, wearing a red, yellow, blue coat, the umbrella can cover head, who was staggered umbrella shed a breathable rain shower, rain and then flows into the shoes down his pants, which taste very upset ah. After the owner before squeezing through the narrow aisle, and finally boarded the cable, look around, mountain fog, fog, misty rain, the Yulong Snow Mountain, where? Where can I see your video content?

Yunshanping is an alpine meadow, paved path along the boards, we go deep in it, it is said, sunny day, standing in meadow can be seen on the Yulong Snow Mountain in the Yaris, you can enjoy to the meadow in full bloom Gesang Hua, and now we see but the rain or the rain, feeling a burst of Jin Si burst of cold and cool rising from the heart. Spent the money, suffering from cold, does not deserve to suffer in addition to harvest, there is resentment inevitably meaning, in a kiosk at the break to see no one around, I used the home front of the mountain, then shouted: miles, even under the leaves of a mile, I also spent making money even What see you mi ah hum grams.

with oxygen does not work, I do not know when to use, in the meadow when the feeling of a headache, but the feeling is not very clear, but may be able, to be down significantly after the headache symptoms, and sister than a headache I have severe, if not to say, after the original plan to visit Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Black Dragon Pool Park, not in the mood now, and wait for them to step stepped into the inn, fell down sleep.

back to Lijiang City, the rain stopped, the mood one day of rain to the violation but was enough to choke, and know that rents in the Yulong Snow Mountain in the door to buy clothing and oxygen cheaper than we buy, the more resentment there is added , well, cheated once, eat a bar cutting wisdom.

three or four hours sleep, headaches brought the matter, the day has cleared up. Sister or a dizzy, did not eat much rice they are spit out, it seems, she high inverse I seriously like this Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, Shangri-La, Tibet trip how to get? Given today's situation, we agreed: walk around in the city tomorrow, pending recovery of the body and then go to other places to play.

Hey, different ethnic understanding and expression of different, but for Basang explained, we will understand Apple is ass? Love you is to visit a prostitute can understand you?

Tibetans along the way see the house, a large house there are chips in the top two flag or a flag, and was asked about head Basang How can there be? He said: interpolation, called the Golden Sail flag, representing the good harvest, family and prosperity of Italy, representatives of Golden Sail monk yellow plug, insert the three colors Golden Sail is the big rich family,Discount UGG boots, Golden Sail marked the origin and status of the family .
