It's better to go to Yunnan. There are many places in Sichuan that need pure "donkey friends" to enjoy. I have been to Yunnan for 7 times, and I have traveled all over the province. Let me briefly communicate with you:

In Yunnan, railway traffic is not particularly developed, mainly relying on cars. But the car fare is much higher than that of the train. On the other hand, Yunnan is on the plateau, with high mountains and a lot of traffic on the highway, so if you come to Yunnan for the first time, I suggest; Take the Kunming-Dali-Lijiang line. On the one hand, it concentrates the main tourist attractions and scenic spots in Yunnan. On the other hand, the railway from Kunming to Dali has been opened to traffic, greatly improving traffic. And is comfortable, safe and convenient.

In Kunming City, the site of the 1999 Kunming World Horticultural Exposition, Kunming World Expo Park is still the first choice for foreign tourists after coming to Kunming.

Throughout the year, the green plants here are constantly blooming, and all kinds of flowers are overwhelmed.

Xiaguan Ancient City in Dali was the former national capital of Dali. Main attractions: Cangshan Erhai Lake (ticket: 3 yuan) butterfly spring (5 yuan) Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali (3 yuan).

Cangshan Erhai Lake in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province is a place that ancient and modern tourists yearn for. Yang Sheng 'an, a famous scholar in the Ming Dynasty, described it as "the mountains are green and the sea is covered with blue for half a month" and "when you look at the sky, you don't feel refreshed and fly over".

Cangshan Mountain, also known as Diancang Mountain, * * * has 19 peaks, the highest of which is more than 4, meters above sea level.

Cangshan Mountain has always been famous for its snow, clouds and springs. Cangshan snow, which is not needed after summer, is the most famous of the four scenic spots in Dali. In the sunny spring of March, the top of Diancang Mountain looks crystal clear and quiet, and it is worthy of being a crystal world.

The clouds in Diancang Mountain are varied, sometimes as light as smoke, and sometimes as thick as splashing ink. At the turn of summer and autumn, white clouds like jade belts appear from time to time on the verdant mountainside, which are hundreds of miles long and charming.

On the top of Cangshan Mountain, there are many alpine moraine lakes, and the lakes are surrounded by virgin forests that cover the sun. There are also 18 streams flowing between the 19 peaks, which moisten the land in the foothills and dams and embellish the scenery of Cangshan Mountain. Cangshan is still a world of flowers. There are not only dozens of rhododendrons, but also rare hibiscus flowers and hydrangea-like Ma Yinghua.

Erhai Lake is a beautiful plateau lake with a long and narrow shape, with a length of 4 kilometers from north to south and an area of about 24 square kilometers. Boating in Erhai Lake on a calm day, the clean and transparent sea surface is like a clear blue sky, giving people a quiet and distant feeling.

In Tuanshan, the southernmost part of Erhai Lake, there is an Erhai Park, which is a good place to enjoy the scenery of Cangshan Erhai Lake.

butterfly spring

At the foot of Cangshan Mountain and on the shore of Erhai Lake, there is also a famous tourist attraction-butterfly spring.

butterfly spring's fame is related to Xu Xiake's description in his travel notes. He wrote: "There are big trees on the spring. In early April, the flowers will be like butterflies, and the wings will be like butterflies. There are also tens of millions of real butterflies, even with their feet hooked, hanging upside down from the tree and reaching the surface of the spring, colorful and colorful. " It is true that there are times when there are countless butterflies coming to this party, and their colors are gorgeous, such as Xia Rujin.

In the past few years, the number of butterflies decreased. According to the investigation of relevant parties, the main reasons are that the local climate turned to dryness, which led to the migration of butterflies, and that a large number of pesticides were used in rural areas, which accidentally injured many butterfly larvae. However, in recent two or three years, with the gradual recovery of ecological balance and people's conscious protection measures for butterflies, the number of butterflies gathering every year has increased day by day.

D3 itinerary: Dali-Lijiang Old Town of Lijiang Tickets: 12 yuan. Accommodation can choose to live in Sifang Street, and the cost can be a standard room in 8 yuan. At the same time, at ten o'clock in the evening, I went to Dayan Naxi Ancient Music Club to listen to the mysterious Dongba ancient music. 5 yuan.

Sifang Street in Old Town of Lijiang and Mufu in Lijiang are famous tourist attractions in Lijiang. On December 4th, 1997, at the 21st plenary session of UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Naples, Italy, it was listed in the World Heritage List according to the cultural heritage selection criteria C(II)(IV).

The World Heritage Committee commented that the ancient city Lijiang ingeniously integrated the economic and strategic sites with the rugged terrain, and truly and perfectly preserved and reproduced the quaint features. The architecture of the ancient city has experienced the baptism of countless dynasties and vicissitudes, and it is famous for its integration of the cultural characteristics of various ethnic groups. Lijiang also has an ancient water supply system, which is criss-crossed, exquisite and unique, and still plays an effective role today.

"Old Town of Lijiang" is the first one in the world to become a world heritage site with "Chang Min Living Space".

Old Town of Lijiang, located in Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, Yunnan Province, was founded in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty (late 13th century). Located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the ancient city is more than 2,4 meters above sea level, covering an area of 3.8 square kilometers. It has been a famous market and an important town on the "Tea-Horse Ancient Road" since ancient times. There are more than 25, residents in the ancient city. Among them, Naxi people account for the vast majority of the total population, and 3% of the residents are still engaged in traditional handicrafts and commercial activities, mainly in the production of bronze and silverware, fur and leather, textile and brewing.

The streets in Old Town of Lijiang are built by mountains and rivers, paved with red breccia, which will not be muddy in rainy season or fly ash in dry season. The patterns on the stones are natural and elegant, which complement the whole urban environment. Sifang street, located in the center of the ancient city, is the representative of Lijiang ancient street. There are 354 bridges on the Yuhe River system in Old Town of Lijiang, with an average density of 93 bridges per square kilometer. Bridges have various shapes, among which the famous ones are Suocui Bridge, Dashiqiao Bridge, Wanqian Bridge, Nanmen Bridge, Saddle Bridge and Renshou Bridge, all of which were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties (14th-19th century). Among them, Dashiqiao, which is located 1 meters east of Sifang Street, is the most distinctive.

Old Town of Lijiang is also known as Dayan Town. Naxi dialect calls Dayan ancient city "the ancient capital of Britain", which means the land of Jiangwan. It was founded in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty, and has a history of more than 8 years. Located on the Jinsha River at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain, the southeast of the ancient city is dozens of fertile fields and vast fields. It is shaped like a big jasper inkstone, so it is named Dayan Town.

Old Town of Lijiang is the only historical and cultural city in China without a city wall. It is said that because the hereditary ruler of Lijiang in ancient times was surnamed Mu, if the city wall was built, it would be like the word "sleepy" framed by wooden characters, which was unlucky. The ancient city combines the essence of architectural art of Naxi, Bai, Tibetan and Han nationalities. Exploring its past, people find that this once forgotten "ancient Naxi Kingdom" has been inhabited and multiplied by human beings since ancient times. Today's Naxi people are descendants of the Qiang people who moved south in ancient times. In the long years of thousands of years, they worked hard and built their own beautiful homes. At present, there are a large number of houses in the city during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, all of which are tile-roofed buildings with civil structures, and most of them are three squares and one wall. Residents' buildings are flexible in layout, paying attention to decoration, carefully carving, planting flowers and trees in the courtyard and arranging bonsai. There are many canals in the city, and the buildings across the water and adjacent canals are very common.

this place is located in the traffic arteries of Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet. In ancient times, frequent business trips promoted the prosperity of local people and soon became a well-known market and town. It is generally believed that Lijiang was built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. In 1253 AD, Kublai Khan (Yuan Shizu) was stationed here when he conquered Dali. From then on, until the early Qing Dynasty, for nearly 5 years, Lijiang was ruled by the Mu ancestor of Naxi nationality and Mu Tusi (established in 1382) under the jurisdiction of the central dynasty. In the meantime, Xu Xiake (1587-1641), a Ming Dynasty geographer who traveled all over Yunnan, described Lijiang City as "a community of private houses with rows of tiled houses" at that time, and there were more than 1, residents in the ancient city in the late Ming Dynasty, which shows that urban construction has been quite large.

The Mufu in the ancient city was originally the official office of the hereditary Tusi Mu in Lijiang. It was built in the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368) and was rebuilt in 1998, then changed into the Ancient City Museum. The wooden house covers an area of 46 mu, and there are 162 rooms in the house. (See the attached chart) Eleven plaques inscribed by emperors of past dynasties are hung in it, reflecting the history of the rise and fall of the Mu family.

Sifang street is the center of the ancient city, extending in all directions, and the surrounding alleys are secluded. It is said that it was built by the Mu Tusi in the Ming Dynasty according to its seal. This is the market center of past dynasties, and it is very lively every day. Four main streets extend from the four corners of Sifang Street, leading directly to the four suburbs of southeast and northwest, and branching out from the main street from many streets and lanes, such as cobwebs, making it easy to travel. The streets are all paved with colorful stone, flat and clean, with no dust in sunny days and no water in rainy days. Almost every street is accompanied by flowing water on one side. The spring water comes from Yuhe River, and the river reaches the town to produce double stone bridges. It flows into the ancient city in three streams: east, west and middle, and goes around the street, through walls and houses. Willows hang down at the water's edge, and small bridges stand in Liu Xia, forming a unique style of "every family is flowing, and every family hangs down". When I came here, I suddenly felt the charm of "Venice of the East". Baima Longtan and several Jing Quan, which were built in accordance with underground springs in the early years of the city, still exist today. People have created a water-using method of "one pond, one well and three ponds", that is, drinking water in Toutang, washing vegetables in Ertang and washing clothes in Santang, with clear water descending in sequence, which is both scientific and hygienic. Residents also wash the streets with water. As long as the floodgates are put to block the river and the water overflows the stone pavement, the pollution can be washed away and the market can be kept clean.

Dayan Town, Lijiang, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, has neither a tall besieged city nor a spacious avenue, but it is simple and picturesque, showing natural harmony everywhere. Houses in the town are scattered and undulating because of the topography and flowing water. People build beautiful and applicable houses with wood, stone and mud, which are integrated into the traditions of Han, Bai and Tibetan dwellings and form a unique style. The common residence in the local area is "three squares and one wall", that is, the three-way courtyard surrounded by the main room, wing and wall. Each room has three rooms and two floors. The main room facing south is for the elders to live in, and the east and west rooms are generally used by the next generation. Most houses are decorated with a fish-shaped or leaflike wood chip under the eaves protruding from two gables, which is called "hanging fish" to pray for "more than good luck and celebration" Many courtyard gatehouses are exquisitely carved, with pebbles, tiles and tiles on the ground. There are generally six lattice doors and windows in the front hall, and most of the carvings in the window center are flowers of the four seasons or auspicious birds and animals. The eaves in front of the hall are mostly wide, which is a warm and comfortable activity space.

Baisha residential complex is located 8 kilometers north of Old Town of Lijiang, which was once the political, economic and cultural center of Lijiang during the Song and Yuan Dynasties (1th-14th century AD). Baisha residential buildings are distributed on a north-south axis, with a trapezoidal square in the center, a spring water introduced into the square from the north, and four lanes leading from the square to the four directions, which is very distinctive. The formation and development of Baisha residential buildings laid the foundation for the layout of Old Town of Lijiang.

Naxi people, in the quiet courtyard with flowing bridges and fragrant flowers, it is said that there are 14 college students out of every 1 people, which shows the result of attaching importance to teaching and respecting literature-this is the land where one side gathers wisdom and elves.

Many Naxi people, especially Naxi men, are good at poetry, piano, calligraphy and painting. Among the colorful festivals in the ancient city, apart from the all-night national songs and dances and local operas, the amateur "Naxi Ancient Music" is the most famous. (See attached chart) Among them, Baisha Fine Music is a large-scale classical music suite integrating song, dance and music, and is known as a "living music fossil"; Another Lijiang "Dongjing Music" is derived from the ancient Taoist music, which retains many rhymes of the Central Plains lyrics that have long been lost.

According to historical records, the murals in Lijiang, represented by Dabaoji Palace, were painted in succession during the period of more than 3 years from the early Ming Dynasty to the Puli period. At that time, Muwang, the local magistrate, hired a group of Han painters headed by Ma Xiaotian, as well as Tibetan and Bai painters, the first son of Dongba religion and Taoist disciples.

These Ming and Qing frescoes distributed in the ancient city and 15 temples around it are characterized by the coexistence of various religions and sects. The large-scale mural "The Endless Life of the Tathagata", which remains in Dabaoji Palace in Baisha Village, Lijiang, draws together hundreds of Buddha statues of Han Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism and Taoism, reflecting the characteristics of Naxi Nationality Religion culture.

Baisha mural attracts domestic and foreign tourists with its unique painting style and precious historical and cultural connotation. Baisha, located about 16 kilometers north of Lijiang City, is an ancient and beautiful town. It is the initial settlement of Naxi people in Lijiang Dam, the birthplace of Lijiang Mu Tusi, and the earliest political center of Naxi people.

During the Ming Dynasty, Li Jiang's Tusi was at its peak, with stable political situation and prosperous economy. To show his wealth, he built a large number of palaces and buildings. The existing temples such as Baisha Glass Hall, Dabaoji Palace and Dadingge were all built during this period. Among them, the Ming Dynasty murals are extremely precious cultural relics and belong to national key cultural relics protection units. There are 558 murals in Dabaoji Palace, which is the largest collection of murals in Lijiang. The frescoes preserved in Dabaoji Palace and Liuli Palace are particularly excellent. These two palaces were declared as national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council in December 1996.

Baisha mural is unique in its eclecticism of various religious cultures and artistic schools, and it integrates Tibetan Buddhism, Han Buddhism, Taoism, Dongba and other religions. It is a unique artistic treasure. In terms of artistic style, it reflects the mutual integration of traditional painting techniques and styles of Han, Tibetan and Naxi nationalities. The content of the mural shows the life stories of Tibetan Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism. The painting is well-laid, rigorous in brushwork, rich in color, accurate in modeling and lifelike in characters, which obviously absorbs the characteristics of Dongba painting, such as rough, strong color contrast, even lines and refined brushwork. Lijiang murals involve a wide range of subjects, depicting natural scenery such as flying horses, blooming lotus flowers, mountains and fields, flowers, birds and insects, etc. These paintings clearly show the painter's keen observation ability and positive thoughts and feelings of joining the WTO. The religious figures depicted in the murals, taking religion as the refraction, blended into the painters' aesthetic thoughts, or expressed the social life at that time implicitly or in situ. (see attached figure)

Up to now, a pictograph "Dongba" has been circulating in Lijiang. This unique writing used by Naxi ancestors to record Dongba scriptures is the only living pictograph in the world. Today, more than 2, volumes of Dongba Classic ancient books are collected in libraries and museums in China and some European and American countries, which record the splendid history and culture of Naxi nationality for thousands of years. Among them, the Dongba dance score called Cuomo, including dozens of ancient dance arts, is an extremely rare and precious document. Dongba Sutra, known as the "encyclopedia" of ancient Naxi people, is of great value for studying the history and culture of Naxi people.
