In real travel, you shouldn't just glance at the flowers, get on the bus and sleep, get off the bus and take photos, but slow down, find a quiet corner, have tea, walk and bask in the sun, and kill time seriously.
If you want to slow down the time, you don't have to wait in line at the online celebrity store, just visit Old Town of Lijiang.
Old Town of Lijiang is a famous city with beautiful scenery, a long history and splendid culture. Nowadays, talking about Old Town of Lijiang, bridges, flowing water and people's homes, such a leisurely and tranquil lifestyle is even more fascinating. In the distant years, she is the hometown of wandering souls, and also the hometown that strangers yearn for.
Walking in Old Town of Lijiang, you can always meet streets and lanes with different lengths at the corner. The long and short five-flowered stone roads in the alleys have formed a flat and graceful rhyme, which is amazing to the world.
The "foreigner street" in people's mouth is Xinyi Street in Old Town of Lijiang, which is located between Xinhua Street and Wuyi Street and consists of Jishan Lane and Missy Lane. There are many bridges and weeping willows on this street, and there are many restaurants and tea houses on the west bank, and there are calligraphy and painting antique shops on the east bank, so you can enjoy the scenery and collect the scenery all the way.
When I walked into Xinyi Street, I saw many western-style dining huts, such as A Yi, Jing Zhuo, Lan Ye, and so on. The ancient city was full of foreign flavor, which made me feel interesting. In Naxi restaurants such as Yican, Xuelou and Dingdang, you can also taste traditional foods such as Lijiang Baba and butter tea.
In Xinyi Street, winding alleys, dense ancient houses and mottled stone roads are all "scenery" along the street. There are also many handicraft shops in the alley, selling calligraphy and painting, clothing, wood carving, pictures, earthenware and other handicrafts. Bunun Cottage in Jishan Lane, wood carving with Naxi window core, Qingxi Art Garden in Missis Lane, scenery pictures and Dongba Wooden Plate are all worth visiting.
Wuyi Street, a famous "cultural street" in Lijiang in history, is located in the east of the ancient city, just outside the northeast corner of Sifang Street and passing through Dashiqiao. This street governs Xingren Lane, Wenzhi Lane, Wenhua Lane, Wenming Lane and Zhenxing Lane. It is a small street, and there are three lanes with the prefix "Wen".
The "Snow Mountain Academy" loved by scholars is located in Xingren Lane. Since its establishment in 181, the Academy has trained a large number of talents for Lijiang. From 1723 to 1915, when the imperial examination system was abolished, Snow Mountain Academy produced 2 academicians, 7 scholars, 61 juren, 12 vice-lists, and 154 tribute students. The rest were born, proliferated, and attached to countless students. These people have made great achievements in their work in other places and in their literary creation. They are in addition to Mu's after the reform. There is the former residence of Fang Guoyu, a famous Naxi historian in Wenzhi Lane.
As the main street, Wuyi Street runs through almost the whole of Old Town of Lijiang, with various characteristic shops, colorful wooden wind chimes and other scenery that make visitors linger. When the morning sun rises, the time marks left on Wuhuashi Road are particularly bright, peaceful and comfortable in the morning light.
"Youzhisan Street" is also "Old Town of Lijiang online celebrity Street", which is located in Xianwen Lane, Guangyi Street, the ancient city.
Sifang Street goes south and walks into Xianwen Lane. There are oil-paper umbrellas hanging over the eyes, as if it had broken into the misty rain south of the Yangtze River. In the long deep lane, the walls are covered with green plants and flowers, accompanied by an oil-paper umbrella with a literary style in mid-air, just like the poem in Rain Lane written by the poet Dai Wangshu: "Walking alone with an oil-paper umbrella, wandering in a long, long and lonely rain lane".
Looking up, the long oil-paper umbrella corridor shows all kinds of pictures. Put on the traditional Chinese cheongsam and walk under the oil-paper umbrella, and you are the most fragrant girl in this street.
Old Town of Lijiang "Bar Street" is located in Xinhua Street, an ancient city, which is a very distinctive scenery in Old Town of Lijiang. From the ancient city waterwheel in the north to Kegong Square in Sifang Street in the south, it is transformed from old wooden houses and connected by simple wooden bridges, and distributed along the banks of Yushui River in Xinhua Street.
The ancient city, surrounded by mountains and waters, is particularly evident in Xinhua Street. From north to south to Sifang Street, then turn west and go uphill to Lion Mountain in the upper section of Huangshan Mountain in Xinhua Street. The houses on both sides are built on the mountain, Wenchang Palace, Jiefenglou and Wangulou stand on the top of the mountain, and the houses are built on the water.
In the center of this street, there are many protected houses and several inns. In recent years, with the increasing popularity of tourism in Old Town of Lijiang, restaurants and bars have crowded into this street one after another, and this street has gradually become known as "Bar Street".
The ancient city bar street is a paradise for bar owners. Here, all kinds of wine floats with the wind, drum sets, keyboards, guitars, bass and so on play music together here, flowing with the gurgling stream. One meter of sunshine, a small bar, a cherry blossom house, and every romantic name are enough to tie a wandering heart.
Qiyi Street is one of the four main streets in Old Town of Lijiang. It is the main street extending forward from the southeast corner of Sifang Street, which can be described as a snack street. The ancient city garden square, Guanmenkou, Department Gujing and Pomegranate Well are its symbols and signs.
This street and lane covers shops such as food, clothing and artworks, which are miscellaneous but not chaotic and full of artistic flavor. Whether you are looking for delicious food, choosing special souvenirs, trying on national costumes, etc., this street has everything. In short, you are right to come.
The Sakura Restaurant is located next to the official entrance of Qiyi Street. When you walk into the Sakura Restaurant, you can enjoy the flowers and birds on the first floor of the restaurant, which will instantly relax your body and mind. You can also climb the second floor to see the street view of online celebrity, accompanied by a delicious meal, which is very pleasant.
