Chapter 1: Lijiang Ancient Town Chen Zeping
After descending from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, we walked into the ancient city of Lijiang, felt the charm of the ancient Naxi Kingdom, and experienced the unique feelings of people with small bridges and flowing water.
Walking in the bustling ancient city, there are wooden and tiled houses on both sides of the road, with dragons and phoenixes carved on the eaves, as well as many ancient Naxi characters. The cries of vendors and various local accents echoed in my ears, which made people feel particularly friendly. There are also beautiful scenes of foreign tourists of different skin colors lingering in the ancient city. An American friend here asked how to get to Sifang Street in blunt Chinese, and a "bearded man" there was choosing various ethnic costumes, which was full of fun!
A major earthquake occurred in 1996, which destroyed the ancient city of Lijiang. However, it could not break the tenacious spirit of the Naxi people. With the support of the people across the country, they rebuilt Lijiang. Nowadays, various cultures and ancient and modern elements in the ancient city are integrated with each other, attracting visitors from all directions. When you walk into Sifang Street, your view suddenly broadens. This is the most prosperous and lively place in the ancient city. There is a small stream in the ancient city. Going upstream from the stream is the most worthwhile bar street for you to visit. In this place with elegant style and ethereal singing, you can't help but find a quiet place, listen to Lijiang's most famous song "Tick Tock", and experience the charm of the ancient city where "streams flow around every house, and poplar trees hang down from every house to the south of the Yangtze River". Walking on the path paved with bluestone slabs, you can feel the water gurgling in your ears and the willow branches blowing in the wind. I seem to feel that I am in Jiangnan, relaxed and happy, but there is a unique charm here that is not found in Jiangnan. Here, you will forget everything, forget the world and the hustle and bustle, sit in a daze next to the small bridge and flowing water for an afternoon, and be soothed by the singing, you will find yourself as if you are several years younger and full of energy.
Lijiang Old Town at night is the most charming. After half past eight, darkness enveloped the ancient city, and every household hung up lanterns. Under the light yellow light, everything in the ancient city seemed hazy. The light reflected on the stream, and the entire stream was dyed with colorful colors, exuding a charming brilliance. The singers in the ancient city also carried guitars on their backs and sang wordless songs while leaning against the willow tree. Even the starry sky seems to be melting into the bright lights and the lyrical singing of street singers. Later, when most shops are closed, Lijiang Old Town will be covered in a light silver. The moonlight shines on the eaves of people's houses in the ancient city, and everything seems to be asleep. At this time, only the snack bars in the ancient city were brightly lit. The most memorable thing is to walk into the snack bar at this moment, ask the proprietress to bring you a bowl of chicken bean jelly, and sit by the bridge to eat it (eat it in Yunnan dialect). It will definitely leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth and endless aftertaste.
Lijiang Ancient Town, you are so dreamlike and colorful!
Chapter 2: Touring the Ancient City of Lijiang Lu Haoqing
Under the drizzle, there are not many tourists in the ancient city of Lijiang. Especially the alleys far away from the center of the ancient city are so peaceful that it feels like a world away.
Wandering in the narrow alleys of the ancient city, walking slowly, looking carefully, and listening quietly to the rustling sound of rain, no matter what worries you have, it seems that they will disappear with the falling raindrops.
The houses on both sides of the alley, with white walls and black tiles, are simple yet solemn, elegant yet tranquil. Occasionally, there is a "crunch" sound, and the owner who peeks out from the house is surprised.We tourists are always greeted with a friendly smile.
Just walking along the alley, looking at the wall in front of me, I felt that the alley seemed to have reached the end. Just when we were about to go back the way we came, a man suddenly walked out from the corner in front. We walked forward curiously, and when we turned, we saw another deep alley in front of us. It was really like "there is no road in the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers"!
The stone slabs underfoot have been washed clean by the rain, and only the numerous holes in the slabs reveal the traces left by the years. According to the tour guide, people in the ancient city love cleanliness very much. They like to dig a small trench on the roadside in front of their door and use the water flowing down from it to wash tools such as mops. Therefore, in the ancient city, as long as there is a road and there are homes, there will always be a narrow ditch, and every household is connected, which becomes a unique scenery of the ancient city. The light rain in the past few days has filled the ditch with enough water. Following the terrain, the water in the ditch flows "gushingly", seeming to tell the stories of the ancient city for thousands of years to passers-by.
We walked down the ditch, and the alley gradually became wider, and the exit of the ancient city was in sight. At this moment, I suddenly realized that as long as I walked along the ditch, I would be able to find the exit. I asked the locals again for confirmation, and it turned out that this was indeed the case. It turns out that the people in the ancient city are using this unique way to guide foreign tourists!
We walked along the ditch and came to Sifang Street. The place suddenly became lively, with people coming and going in various shops, and some shopkeepers even hawked their goods in a simple local accent. It was very lively. This makes the ancient city less dignified and more prosperous.
The short journey is coming to an end, and my heart has been attracted by the tranquility, simplicity and elegance of the ancient city of Lijiang. I sincerely said to the local tour guide, "I will definitely come to Lijiang Ancient Town again."
Part 3: Entering Lijiang Ancient Town
Everyone says that a visit to Lijiang is in vain if you don’t visit Lijiang Old Town. Therefore, we came to the beautiful Old Town of Lijiang a few nights ago to experience the unique scenery of the Old Town of Lijiang.
As soon as we entered the ancient city, two waterwheels, one large and one small, were turning in front of our eyes, making a "swishing" sound. "It's so big!" I exclaimed as I looked at the big waterwheel in front of me. This waterwheel was three or four as tall as me. Look at Lijiang at night. There are bright lights everywhere and it is extremely beautiful. Under the illumination of colorful lights, the antique buildings look even more unique. Tourists from all over the world shuttle through the ancient city of Lijiang, bringing a modern atmosphere to the ancient city of Lijiang. Walking further, we arrived at the entrance of a store. I looked down and wow, a small river was flowing. Looking from a distance, one can see that "streams surround every house, and weeping willows surround every house in the south of the Yangtze River." I suddenly felt that my eyes were not enough, so I looked around and admired the scenery. My mother, Wu Yongxiang, and Wu Yongxiang’s mother who came with me were also intoxicated by the beautiful scenery.
We walked slowly on the marble floor and heard the noise in the distance. I moved over and saw that it was actually a bar area! The music here was so loud that it seemed to shake me up. The buildings here are all antique, wooden houses, and they are all two-story. Among the buildings in the ancient city, there are no high-rise buildings, only two-story buildings. The small attic on the second floor is really beautiful for leisure. The architectural designs here are all antique, with hanging roofs and various giant beasts used to ward off evil spirits... Things that are not seen in modern cities can be seen everywhere here.
When I looked at the stream at my feet, I truly understood the saying "go in with the current and come out against the current".In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the snack street in Lijiang. Three hundred meters away, I smelled a strong fragrance, so I ran over at a speed that surpassed history. At this sight, my saliva couldn't help but drip down. I saw Naxi big skewers, cross-bridge rice noodles, shrimp pot rice noodles, yak beef skewers, Lijiang glutinous rice cake... There was really everything, and the aroma of many delicacies was so tempting. So, my mother, Wu Yongxiang, and Wu Yongxiang's mother each bought a yak meat skewer to eat, and drank delicious thirst-quenching yak yogurt.
I was eating and drinking while enjoying the beautiful scenery around me. It was so comfortable! This Lijiang Old Town is really a city that never sleeps, with no closed shops everywhere. “Why does Lijiang Old Town have no city walls? "I suddenly thought of this question, so I asked my mother. My mother said with a proud look on her face: "This is not easy, because it is accessible in all directions, making it easier to escape. "But there is no way to defend the city like this. We can only engage in street fighting with huge casualties." "I said again. "Haha, your mother is indeed smart. Because Lijiang people are surrenderers, they surrender to whoever comes and whoever is strong. "My mother said again, with a happy face. "That's it. "I thought to myself, "This is really amazing. ”
In this leisurely Lijiang Old Town, enjoying the scenery while enjoying delicious food, Lijiang Old Town really brings a different kind of feeling. If you want to enjoy life, hurry up and stay in Lijiang Old Town for two days!
