Lijiang is a city that many people yearn for. The air here, the environment here, and the sky here always bring a lot of impact to people. In fact, the most beautiful thing here is the cultural atmosphere. The national feelings in the hearts of people here are very rare, which is the main reason why we embarked on this trip. We are in Lijiang, Yunnan.

Preparation before traveling

[About car models]

To go on a road trip, you must first prepare a durable car. Because of long-distance driving, if the quality of the car fails, it will cause a lot of trouble on the road. Moreover, when driving for long distances, comfort becomes very important, so it is better to abandon a good-looking car! The space is too small and uncomfortable to sit for a long time.

About traffic

At around 7 a.m., we set off from Chongqing, picked up people in Neijiang, and had lunch in Luzhou at noon. Then continue walking until entering Kunming at 10pm. Rest your first night in Kunming.

The next day we went from Kunming to Dali and rested in Dali the next night.

On the third day, we set off from Dali to Lijiang and started our business there. The cost per person is about 500 per person (including food), there are five of us.

First stop: Lijiang’s eternal love

Here, we are curious, what kind of wonderful Lijiang will the ancient love story depict?

This is a stage play that shows us the different styles of Lijiang. This expression is very serious, but it makes people watching find it interesting.

Foreword: The origin of the Naxi people

Act 1: Lugu’s daughter country

The beautiful Lugu Lake is a veritable daughter country and a dream Haunting paradise on earth.

Act 2: The Legend of the Caravan

The opening line is this: Lijiang is famous for its Tea Horse Road. In a sense, the glory of Lijiang is the glory of horseshoes.

Act III: The Glory of Mufu

What impressed me most about this scene was not the plot, but the charm of the stage and the gorgeous costumes of the actors!

Act 4: Jade Dragon’s Third Country

The Naxi people are a nation that advocates freedom of love.

Interlude: Looking for Shambhala

Shambhala, Tibetan transliteration! Also known as Shangri-La, meaning "extreme paradise", it is the mythical world of Buddhism and the birthplace of Buddhism.

Shambhala is a pure land without worries and struggles. There are only majestic snow-capped mountains and cheerful singing and dancing.

Second stop: Lijiang Love Song Amusement Park

I have been to Songcheng, Sanya. Sanya Songcheng is mainly a water world, and the weather in Lijiang is obviously not suitable for this kind of design, so a plateau amusement park was built here!

A paradise embodies the joy between people. Some people are creating their own miracles here, some are continuing their own stories, and some are searching. What kind of person are you? Don’t ask, don’t think, just throw yourself into this group of people and let their stories and enthusiasm rub off on us. I think even a cold heart will melt temporarily!

The third stop: Lijiang Love Song

This is a poignant love story, showing the boundless love and embodying the eternal theme of love!

Actually, I haven’t watched much of the plot, but the live special effects brought about by these performances are really shocking.

Yes, the water on the stage is indeed sleeping, but with such momentum, the visual impact brought by the scene is still relatively strong.

Actually, this little time is not enough, but this is the first time I have traveled so far on a road trip, and watching such a performance is great and very rare!

Food and accommodation guide

About accommodation

The place I stayed in Lijiang this time is called Shujiayulu Xuesongyuan. At the foot of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the overall quality is relatively high-end, with large rooms and complete facilities.

[About food]

Located in the ancient city of Dayan, it is known as the restaurant in southwest France. Mainly deals in Western food, but can also handle Naxi cuisine. You won’t get used to it, and you’ll find it delicious even if you haven’t eaten it before. Because you have very high requirements for food, the food here is quite good.
