TranquilDestinations
After returning from Lijiang, I plan to spend the rest of my life opening a guesthouse in Lijiang
Upon my first arrival in Lijiang, the afterglow fills every corner of the ancient city. This small town, known as the 'Venice of the East', is like a flowing scroll. In the alleys, stone paths lead to secluded shops, and every turn seems to tell an old story.
The people of Lijiang are filled with enthusiasm and kindness, welcoming every visitor with the most sincere smiles. And the food here is even more memorable. The fragrant butter tea, the crispy outside and tender inside crossing bridge rice noodles, the rich sour fish soup, each bite is telling the style of Lijiang.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Like a huge screen, it stands in the northeast of Lijiang. The mountain peaks shine with silver under the sun, like a winding jade dragon. When climbing, although tired, every step is closer to the snow mountain, the feeling of excitement and anticipation is full of motivation. When reaching the top, the sea of clouds is surging, the sky is blue, it feels like being in a fairyland.
Black Dragon Pool Park. The pool water is as green as jade, reflecting the surrounding green trees and mountains. By the pool, people gather in twos and threes, either fishing or chatting, enjoying this tranquility and comfort. Walking on the quaint stone bridge, watching the fish swimming in the water, it seems that time has stopped at this moment.
White Water Pool. The waterfall here is like a galaxy falling from the sky, awakening everyone's soul. The water splashes, the sun refracts, forming a brilliant rainbow, which is amazing. The pool water is clear and the fish can be counted. Leaning in the pavilion, listening to the sound of the waterfall, looking at the beautiful scenery of the White Water Pool, it is refreshing.
The trip to Lijiang, the style of the ancient city, the majesty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the tranquility of Black Dragon Pool, the agility of White Water Pool, all left us a deep impression. This is a baptism of the soul and a feast for the eyes. The beauty of Lijiang lies not only in its natural scenery and cultural landscape, but also in its unique atmosphere and feeling - the kind that makes people excited, nostalgic, and want to come again.
Goodbye, Lijiang. We set off on our return journey with full of emotion and memory. Lijiang, I will come again! When I come again, I will open a guesthouse at the foot of the Jade Dragon, feed the horses every day, chop wood, and look at the snow mountain!

Dali Ancient City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
🇨🇳Travel to Dali: Finding Peace in Paradise
#chinatrip
Just came back from Dali- a chill town that has left an indelible mark on me. I can't forget the serene beauty, the welcoming places to stay, and the delightful local cuisine that made my visit truly unforgettable.🥹 Here’s my recommendation if you happens to visit Dali:
🏨 Hotel to stay:
📍大理青橙小院 Dali Qingcheng Xiaoyuan(Trip.com)
🗒️No. 60, Society 7, Yangbo Village Committee, Yinqiao Town, Dali City, Dali, Yunnan
Price: Around 75sgd per night
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
🩷Located near the peaceful er sea and just a 10-minute ride from Dali Ancient Town, complete with friendly staff and complimentary pick-up from Dali Railway Station. Its proximity to the lake offered easy access to picturesque bicycle trails, making it an ideal base for exploring and unwinding in Dali.
🍽️ Food to eat in Dali Ancient City
1. 幸会小仙女·自助石板烧·野生菌火锅(大当家店)
📍Beside 洱海门
Price: around $10+ per pax
Known for its mushroom hotpot, this dining spot prides itself on a broth that's rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful, perfectly complementing the array of fresh ingredients available for dipping. The standout feature truly is the mushroom soup base, a testament to the chef's skill in harnessing the essence of local wild mushrooms to create a broth that's both comforting and complex. The ingredients are fresh too. 😙
2. 大理老渔家白族石板烧
📍玉洱路
Price: around $10+ per pax
Stone grilling elevates cooking to an art form here. Ingredients, fresh from Dali's landscapes, are seared on heated stones, ensuring flavors are locked in with a perfect, crispy outer texture. This method not only cooks food evenly but also infuses it with a unique, earthy essence. The two pax meal is just enough for two of us without ordering more. 😋
Dali is such a food paradise and I can’t wait to visit it again!

MAYA WALLACE
I also encountered the rainbow at the gate of Erhai
The rainbow at the gate of Erhai is a very beautiful natural landscape, which appears on the edge of Erhai in Dali, Yunnan. When sunlight passes through raindrops, the light refracts and reflects to form a rainbow, bringing a visual feast to tourists.
The best time to appreciate the rainbow at the gate of Erhai is usually in the evening after the rain. At this time, the sunlight shines through the clouds onto the lake surface, interacts with the raindrops, and forms a colorful rainbow. Standing by the lake, you can feel the magical charm of nature, as if you are in a fairyland.
In addition to appreciating the rainbow, there are many other attractions worth visiting at the gate of Erhai. For example, you can stroll on the lakeside plank road to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Erhai; you can also take a boat tour of Erhai to feel the clarity and tranquility of the lake water; you can also visit the surrounding ancient sites to understand the local history and culture.

You don't even have social security, and you dare to cycle around Erhai Lake? Really worth it
I've been resigned for 4 months, now I'm traveling all over the country, recently cycling around Erhai Lake~ I won't pay for social security anymore, if it's cut off, it's cut off, it's not like it hasn't been cut off before. I don't want to spend my whole life in fear, afraid of not being able to buy a house, settle down, or raise the next generation if I cut off social security, afraid of not having money when I get sick, not being able to receive my pension... Go to hell, I've been educated in fear from a young age, so I can only be a well-behaved slave. Anyway, I have nothing to begin with, so I'm not afraid of losing anything, let's play first~
Erhai Lake is really beautiful, cycling 138 kilometers in two days, very happy!
I declare this route is the essence!
The most essential route for cycling around Erhai Lake should be 'Longkan Wharf South - Xiabopang Village', the whole journey is about 10km, with the scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in full view~
👉👉Check-in points for this route:
1️⃣Longkan Wharf South
Don't go to the popular check-in place Longkan Wharf where people are crowded and you have to queue up for photos. It's better to go to the water forest on the south side of Longkan Wharf, which is almost unknown to tourists. The light and shadow of the sequoia trees are excellent, dreamy and beautiful
📍Navigation: Dali Xiangguo Coffee Shop
2️⃣Longfeng Village
The long wooden plank road extends into the sea, with the water rippling; the surrounding dead trees, wetlands, red and yellow sequoia trees, and reed landscapes are rich, and every angle is beautiful
📍Navigation: Dali Sun Valley Sea View Inn
3️⃣Xiajiyi
This area is pure scenery: on one side are sequoia trees with red wild grass, reeds swaying in the wind; on the other side, you can overlook Cangshan Mountain without any obstruction, and the large lawn can be freely cycled and run, comfortably sunbathing
📍Navigation: Wild Stay Sea View Homestay
4️⃣Majiuyi
The wetland scenery is charming, the wooden plank road between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake is beautiful and romantic; the small stone beach by the sea is a good place for photography. Majiuyi is also one of the areas where seagulls are most concentrated
📍Navigation: Taoran Farmhouse
5️⃣Shuangyuan Creek
The sequoia trees are particularly dense, colorful, and beautiful! Unfortunately, due to the management of Erhai Lake, they are all blocked by green iron sheets. If you put a drone, it's super beautiful
📍Navigation: Shuangyuan Creek
6️⃣Xiabopang
Sequoia trees, wooden plank roads, dead trees in the sea, lonely trees, especially suitable for shooting emotional films
📍Navigation: Dali Haixi Sea View Hotel
⚠️tips:
Watch seagulls in the morning, seagulls are active after sunrise, they ignore you when they are full near noon;
You must cycle along the small road by Erhai Lake, the essence can only be seen by taking the small road by the sea!

After returning from Lijiang, I plan to spend the rest of my life opening a guesthouse in Lijiang
Upon my first arrival in Lijiang, the afterglow fills every corner of the ancient city. This small town, known as the 'Venice of the East', is like a flowing scroll. In the alleys, stone paths lead to secluded shops, and every turn seems to tell an old story.
The people of Lijiang are filled with enthusiasm and kindness, welcoming every visitor with the most sincere smiles. And the food here is even more memorable. The fragrant butter tea, the crispy outside and tender inside crossing bridge rice noodles, the rich sour fish soup, each bite is telling the style of Lijiang.
Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Like a huge screen, it stands in the northeast of Lijiang. The mountain peaks shine with silver under the sun, like a winding jade dragon. When climbing, although tired, every step is closer to the snow mountain, the feeling of excitement and anticipation is full of motivation. When reaching the top, the sea of clouds is surging, the sky is blue, it feels like being in a fairyland.
Black Dragon Pool Park. The pool water is as green as jade, reflecting the surrounding green trees and mountains. By the pool, people gather in twos and threes, either fishing or chatting, enjoying this tranquility and comfort. Walking on the quaint stone bridge, watching the fish swimming in the water, it seems that time has stopped at this moment.
White Water Pool. The waterfall here is like a galaxy falling from the sky, awakening everyone's soul. The water splashes, the sun refracts, forming a brilliant rainbow, which is amazing. The pool water is clear and the fish can be counted. Leaning in the pavilion, listening to the sound of the waterfall, looking at the beautiful scenery of the White Water Pool, it is refreshing.
The trip to Lijiang, the style of the ancient city, the majesty of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, the tranquility of Black Dragon Pool, the agility of White Water Pool, all left us a deep impression. This is a baptism of the soul and a feast for the eyes. The beauty of Lijiang lies not only in its natural scenery and cultural landscape, but also in its unique atmosphere and feeling - the kind that makes people excited, nostalgic, and want to come again.
Goodbye, Lijiang. We set off on our return journey with full of emotion and memory. Lijiang, I will come again! When I come again, I will open a guesthouse at the foot of the Jade Dragon, feed the horses every day, chop wood, and look at the snow mountain!

The beauty of Blue Moon Valley live broadcast (including travel suggestions)
The beauty of Blue Moon Valley live broadcast (including travel suggestions) live pictures were taken at 11-12 noon on April 8th on a sunny day.
🧼Recommended reverse route: Yunsongping-Blue Moon Valley-Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
Reasons: 1. The sparkling beauty of Blue Moon Valley under the midday sun is particularly beautiful, it is the kind of beauty that can only be felt with the naked eye, and pictures and videos cannot capture the actual feeling. 2. If you go to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain first (I climbed to 4680), then you won't have much energy to stroll around Yunsongping and Blue Moon Valley.
🧼Recommend the 50 yuan battery car ticket. The free bus goes directly to the end of Blue Moon Valley. If you want to see the whole Blue Moon Valley, it takes a few hours to go back and forth, and the route will be repeated. For those who want to play the whole scenic spot in one day, the time is relatively tight, it is recommended to take the battery car directly, divided into three stations, so you can see the whole Blue Moon Valley along the way, and the first station of the battery car, pictures 3-5, almost no one, you can quietly feel the emerald green clear bottom lake water.

Lijiang Ancient City Boxin Yunshe·Academic Garden Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
A hidden world under the snow mountain
At the eastern foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, about 25 kilometers away from Lijiang City, there is a natural large pasture. This place was originally a high mountain lake, but due to geological changes, the water outlet expanded, so the local people commonly call it 'Dry Sea'.
Ganhaizi is about 4 kilometers long, 1.5 kilometers wide, and about 2900 meters above sea level. The meadows are undulating, covered with grass and trees, natural glacier lakes, and the streams in the sea are winding, like a secret world. People gradually changed the name 'Dry Sea' to 'Ganhaizi'.
The scenery is beautiful in all four seasons. In summer and autumn, wild flowers are dotted among them, and there are groups of cattle, sheep, mules and horses. Sometimes you can see the magnificent avalanches. On the east side of the main peak of the snow mountain, Fan Zidou, there is a glacier, ice tower forest, and ice field that is slightly green by plants. It is beautiful;
In winter and spring, it is deep yellow, contrasting with the surrounding snow mountains and red leaves. On the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, a quiet white, showing a holy crystal clear, thirteen peaks winding, like a leaping white dragon, ready to jump into the rushing Jinsha River at any time.

A tranquil place amidst the hustle and bustle - Boxin Yunshewen Garden
When it comes to ancient cities, we all think of bustling and prosperous places with many shops, and indeed, the ancient cities and towns I've visited are more or less the same. However, sometimes I still like the quaint and charming ancient cities because I really enjoy such scenes, which sometimes makes me feel conflicted! But currently, what I like is the Boxin Yunshewen Garden in Lijiang, which is located in the center of Dayan Ancient City. It's not only quiet, but also peaceful amidst the hustle and bustle. You can also come and try this place!
