Whenever night falls, bonfires are lit in the square of Sifang Street in Old Town of Lijiang. Under the leadership of the local Naxi people, tourists formed several circles and danced by the fire.
Dancing is a dance of ethnic minorities in southwest China. Cheerful dance steps, burning bonfires, and carnival of thousands of people at night, you must not miss such a lively scene when you come to Old Town of Lijiang.
Although Lijiang has no famous dishes at home and abroad, its snack culture is no less than that of Guangzhou and Chengdu, the capital of food.
One of the "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan"-"four bugs and one dish". The stall owner skillfully put bamboo worms, water dragonflies, silkworm chrysalis and grasshoppers on a plate, and poured salt, soy sauce, garlic, pepper and cumin on the iron plate. After such a stir-fry, the color was rich and the smell was fragrant.
The fresh water fish in the snow-capped mountains of Lijiang, roasted with pepper, pepper and cumin, is oily and irritable, which makes you drool.
"Tofu is sold in soy milk", which is also one of the "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan". How about cutting tofu into long strips and frying it in oil until both sides are golden, with garlic and pepper? I can't wait to eat.
Look ahead, the "eighteen eccentrics in Yunnan" has appeared again-"stones grow long and flowers sell". Add onion, garlic, onion and pepper to the slate flower and stir-fry. It tastes a little like sea cucumber when chewed, and it tastes like a wild mushroom.
In Lijiang, kumquat, plum, yellow fruit, plum, pineapple, peach, tremella, mulberry and broad bean, the most common fruits and vegetables in daily life, can be turned into a series of glittering and translucent, sweet and soft Lijiang preserves.
Old Town of Lijiang is called "Venice of the East", which means that the waterways are dense, and the rivers are like the blood of the ancient city, which makes the ancient city full of vitality.
Setting off river lanterns is a very long tradition in Lijiang. A river lantern carries people's hope for a better life and is given a new meaning of wishing.
The traditional caravan returning to the long street feast is another highlight of Lijiang night market. Eat meat, drink in a big bowl, be the most caravan, and eat the most caravan dishes. The caravan brothers drank and ate meat, danced and frolicked, and the story of the ancient tea-horse road was really staged around you.
