Lijiang, Yunnan
Old Town of Lijiang, with a history of more than 800 years, is located in the middle of Lijiang Bazi, covering an area of about 3.8 square kilometers. It was founded in the late Southern Song Dynasty. It is the Fu Xuan branch of Lijiang Road in Yuan Dynasty, the residence of Lijiang Military and Civilian Mansion in Ming Dynasty and Lijiang Mansion in Qing Dynasty. Old Town of Lijiang is unique in site selection, and makes full use of the mountain topography and surrounding natural environment in layout. Xiangshan Mountain, Jinhongshan Mountain and Monkey Mountain are in the north, and the east and south are naturally connected with the open flat dam, which not only avoids the cold wind in the northwest, but also faces the light source in the southeast, forming an overall pattern of sitting in the northwest and looking at the southeast. Yuquan River, which originated at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the north of the city, enters the city in three streams, and then divides into countless tributaries, crossing streets and lanes and spreading all over the city, forming a poem and painting of "water around the front of every house and willow hanging behind every house". Streets are not limited to neat and free distribution. The main street is near the water, and the alley is adjacent to the canal. More than 300 ancient stone bridges are in harmony with rivers, green trees, Gu Xiang and ancient houses, which have great aesthetic charm of ancient trees, small bridges, flowing water and people in plateau water towns. They are called "Venice as the owner" and "Gusu on the Plateau". China's scenic spots and historical sites can be seen everywhere, with colorful natural landscapes and dazzling national culture.

Interesting scenic spots in Lijiang
Lashihai
It is 0/5 km away from the ancient city/kloc-and it takes more than 20 minutes by car. There is a station in Zhong Yi market, 5 yuan/person, renting a car to and from 30 yuan. The main features of the scenic spot are lake viewing and migratory birds watching in winter, and local villagers enclose a racecourse to collect riding fees to increase their income. The prime number is not high, but friends who like riding horses can go to play. Friends who have no time to go to Lugu Lake in winter can watch migratory birds here.
shuhe old town
It is 4 kilometers away from Lijiang. You can take a bus to and from 6 yuan, take a taxi 15 yuan, and ride a bike 15 yuan (rent a car) to play. People who live there call the inn and just go in or turn around. Admission: 30 yuan, the essence of Shuhe Old Street, it should be said that only the street from Xiaosifang Street across Qinglong Bridge to Jiuding Longtan is antique and beautiful, and it takes about three hours to play. Favorite friends can stay there and enjoy the quiet sunshine.
Heilongtan Park is located at the edge of Yu He Corridor in Lijiang, about one kilometer away from the landmark waterwheel in Old Town of Lijiang. Now it is open for free (the original 60 yuan ticket), but foreign tourists have to pay the maintenance fee for the ancient city of 80 yuan before they can go in. My feeling is that they can go in and play and find a way from above when they have time. Maybe you can turn in, but pay attention to a safe and quiet environment. It's a good place to take some photos of the reflection of the snow-capped mountains or bask in the sun. I like the reflection of clear water, blue sky, snowy mountains and white clouds in the water. Friends who don't like artificial landscapes don't have to go.
Baisha Ancient Town
One of the ancient towns of Tea Horse Road, undeveloped. If you visit in spring or autumn, it usually doesn't mean much, but foreigners like to go to that place, where there are murals of Baisha Tomb and tickets to 35 yuan.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
As a symbol of Lijiang, many friends want to see it, but my feeling is that the snow-capped mountains don't have to go up, they look more beautiful from a distance. Some people say that it costs about 500 yuan to play Yulong once, but it's not worth it. As a self-help scenic spot, try to choose some fine products. Meili around Lijiang is good and more beautiful.
Food and accommodation in Lijiang
Lijiang is a famous scenic spot and a world-famous tourist city. Every year, millions of people travel to Lijiang from all directions. Lijiang is also a small city with a population of more than 300,000. There are more than 2,000 tourist-oriented hotels here, so don't worry about staying. There are more than 600 ancient city inns alone. Usually there are inns in densely populated areas above 10 meter, which can be said to be everywhere. It is never a particularly prosperous season for tourism, so you should book in advance. Otherwise, you can always find a satisfactory inn when you come, and the price is not expensive. Just recommend a standard room for 50 yuan. Try to live, avoid the center of the ancient city and consider eating, which will not only save money, but also lead a quiet life.
Regarding eating, I think everyone must think that Lijiang is a tourist city and the food is very expensive. I can definitely tell you that if you find the right place, the food here is not expensive. Because the rent in the ancient city is too high, plus the cost of water and electricity, the transfer fee is very high, so eating in the ancient city is very expensive. How expensive is it? You can imagine the most expensive city in the country. However, some local snack bars near Old Town of Lijiang are very cheap. Because it is my own house, there are local preferential policies, and the operating cost is very low, so the price of vegetables is very cheap and it is really economical to eat.
Matters needing attention in playing around Lijiang
"There is no such thing as a free lunch." I think everyone understands this truth. With the development of tourism, all kinds of dark sides are indirectly reflected. Some people are greedy and cheap, and are cheated everywhere. Instead of saving money, they got more. So when you come, try not to pay attention to some soliciting people on the street, and don't listen to the introduction of friends from other places. Unless the friend you introduced has been to Lijiang several times, or has some business in Lijiang, you will be cheated. There are some idle people in Lijiang who specialize in this matter, either on the street or soliciting customers in bars. Everyone thinks he knows good people and listens to their opinions. As a result, they were cheated and wasted time and money. How to avoid similar things? When you come, ask as many questions as possible, find some reputable clubs, or talk to the front desk through the recommendation of the innkeeper. In this way, if you encounter unpleasant things, you can find referees to avoid wrangling and affecting your mood.
Venue: Shangri-La
Features: Original ecological mountain and holy lake
In Shangri-La, people's "dream garden of Eden", there is a mysterious and beautiful original ecological scenic spot-Pudacuo National Park. Natural lakes and wetlands, forest pastures, valleys and streams, deep valleys and cliffs, and flowers blooming everywhere have not only become a paradise for photographers, but also attracted many tourists to visit. Even Nana and Jason chose to hold a romantic wedding here. May is the most beautiful season here. It's time to escape from the sultry city and breathe the fresh air brought by flowers!
If you want to visit Pudacuo scenic spot completely, you'd better spend a day immersed in the lakes and mountains. It's about 70 kilometers. It's very convenient to take the environmental protection tour sightseeing bus in the scenic spot and get on and off at any time. The journey begins with Zhudu Lake in Hongshan District, a world natural heritage of "Three Parallel Rivers". Walking along the plank road around the lake, I saw spruce, fir and birch forest towering into the sky, or green, or light green, or goose yellow, with different levels of green patchwork, magnificent under the sun. From time to time I can catch a glimpse of rare birds and animals running and jumping. The grassland near the lake is full of flowers, green grass and vitality. On the lake, three or five groups of wild ducks swim freely, and Sha Ou gets together and flies with water; On the shore of the lake, the shed is dotted with cattle and sheep in the grass, full of leisurely wild interest.
Bitahai, one of the sacred lakes in the hearts of Tibetans, which means the place where oak trees lay carpets in Tibetan, is an important international wetland reserve. The pearls on this plateau are pure, and the water is as clear as a mirror, quiet and serene. The mountains are surrounded by the Bita Sea, and there are thousands of towering old trees in the surrounding virgin forests. Rhododendrons and colorful wild flowers are everywhere, and many animals, such as shell chickens, red-footed chickens, silver pheasants, macaques and squirrels, pass by tourists. Birds and flowers are fragrant and beautiful. Take the plank road for about 30 minutes and you can take a boat tour around the lake and come to the island in the lake with the best view. Here, you can watch two wonders, the old bear fishing. In late spring and early summer, the petals of rhododendrons are scattered in the lake, drunk after swimming in fish food and floating on the water, which is the famous spectacle of rhododendrons drunk fish; Bears in the forest can get something for nothing, which is the unique scenery of old bears fishing.
Looking closely, the sky, clouds and flower meadows are reflected in the blue and clear sea water, and the fog is ethereal, just like entering a fairyland; Distant huts are dotted with primitive villages, with smoke curling and bells ringing, full of quaint and comfortable fireworks, which makes people fascinated and linger.

Fujian Province

It is of little significance to come to Gulangyu and visit all the scenic spots in a hurry. Only by savoring it carefully can we feel its unique artistic conception. The air is filled with graceful music, stacked colorful houses, European-style century-old houses, lazy kittens everywhere, and specialty shops in the streets and lanes, so that restless hearts can calm down from the noise of the city and enjoy the life facing the sea and warm in spring in bloom.
Gulangyu's sea has no surging momentum, but it adds a lingering feeling. In the blue sea water, gentle microwaves are rippling with delicate sunshine, dazzling but not burning; The cool sea breeze caresses the skin, and there is no strong salty smell that makes people dizzy, only the smell of light rain; The waves kissed the rocks tirelessly, and the rustling sound of the waves brought comfort; In the distance, the ship's shadow is a little bit, and it moves slowly, showing the vastness of the sea.
Ancient houses made of colored bricks are hidden in quiet alleys that cross each other. The architecture and furnishings of ancient Greece, Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque make people lost in the images of various countries, and for a moment they think they have crossed the ancient time and space. As the "Island of Music" named by China Musicians Association, there are more than 100 music families, and the per capita piano ownership rate is the highest in China, which is enough for tourists to get close to music. Of course, you can't miss the precious instruments in the piano museum and the organ museum. You can also go to the sea paradise to listen to the puppet show and listen to Nanyin. There are free performances in the concert hall every night, and even the grass under the banyan tree can listen to the concert.
Every small shop on the street is very literary, and you can spend half a day walking into one. You can use the free wifi in the store to send Weibo WeChat to share your journey, record every interesting corner with the camera, pick up a pen and paste it on the memorial wall, and choose emotional postcards to send to friends and relatives.

Ganzhou, which enjoys the same reputation as Fenghuang Ancient City in Nanchang, has been an important commercial and military center since ancient times. Nowadays, Ganzhou, which has experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, has faded away from the hustle and bustle, precipitated the charm of antique, and returned to a quiet and leisurely life.
As a famous cultural and historical city in western Hunan, when you come to the ancient city of Ganzhou with a history of thousands of years, of course, you have to travel all over the streets, visit the former residences of ancient celebrities and truly experience the beauty of "Great Western Hunan".

Xinjiang
Venue: Korla
Features: There are many magnificent wonders.
The latitude of southern Xinjiang is lower than that of northern Xinjiang, and the recovery is earlier than that of northern Xinjiang. It has entered the best tourist season since May, and it is most suitable to travel to Korla.
Korla is a good place for traveling and exploring. There are many cultural relics in China, the most famous of which is tiemenguan, located in the north of the city. Tiemenguan is located in Kuruktag Mountain, eight kilometers north of Korla. More than two thousand years ago, the Silk Road entered a 30-kilometer-long canyon along the Peacock River from here. The canyon is winding and deep, and the shore wall is like a knife. According to the examination, since the Jin Dynasty, a gateway has been set up here, and it was named tiemenguan because of its superior geographical position. Yanqi basin is a natural barrier to enter Tarim basin, and it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. In today's TieGuan Xia, a large reservoir has been built on the river dam, and a dangerous section of the ancient Silk Road has been submerged in clear water. The newly-built hydropower station delivers powerful current to all parts of the country. In the valley near the mountain and the water, there are lush trees, flowers and pavilions.
Another famous scenic spot in Korla is the Grand Canyon in Korla Garden and Pastoral Area, which is about100km away from downtown Korla. The Grand Canyon is nearly 3000 meters above sea level, and the mountain walls on both sides are nearly 1000 meters high. The widest part of the valley is about 50-60 meters, and the narrowest part is about 30 meters. Clear spring water flows at the bottom of the valley, and dense primitive shrubs grow on both sides. There are six waterfalls in the nearly 3-kilometer-long canyon area, with the highest being nearly 400 meters and the lowest being about 30 meters. The direction and color of the rocks in the two arms of the canyon are very strange and charming. On the west side of the canyon is alpine grassland, where there are a large area of pine forests, a variety of wild animals and plants, and strange and charming natural landscapes such as "first sight".
Lop Nur is also a must-see in Korla. Lop Nur, located in the northeast of Ruoqiang County, was once the second largest inland lake in China, with an altitude of 780 meters and an area of about 2,400-3,000 square kilometers. It is famous for the ancient Silk Road in the east of Tarim Basin. Lop Nur people here are also the oldest ethnic group in Xinjiang. They live on the edge of Xiaohaizi in Tarim River. "They don't grow grain, don't graze livestock, and the only boat feeds on fishing." Its dialect is also one of the three major dialects in Xinjiang, and its folk customs, folk songs and stories all have unique artistic value. This is a single fish-eating nation, and rich nutrition makes many people live forever. Eighty or ninety-year-olds are all good laborers, and there are even centenarian grooms.

Gourmet:

In addition, the long-staple cotton in Bazhou, the tomatoes in Korla, the jade at the end, the licorice of Rob, and the exquisite costumes and handicrafts of all ethnic groups in Bazhou will also make people fondle it.
