Fourth Floor Sky Mirror: The Immortal's Canvas

✨ Hidden deep within Lijiang Old Town, Boxin Yun She holds this scene: afternoon sunlight filters through wooden windows, and the little steward brings out freshly baked egg tarts and small cakes🍰, with crispy crusts and soft, fragrant custard—one bite tastes like the sweetness of clouds. Even more enchanting, she sets down the tray and sits before the guzheng in the courtyard, her fingertips flowing with melodious notes🎵, like mountain springs flowing over bluestone slabs, instantly turning time into poetry. --- Climb the creaky wooden ladder, and the "Sky Mirror" on the fourth floor opens up—here there are no boundaries, the sky and earth reflect like a mirror.🌄 At dusk, it’s the moment the gods paint: the sunset glows from orange-red to gold foil, the majestic outline of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is bathed in light, and the whole sky looks like a spilled palette, golden and warm, as if immortals are painting on the clouds🖌️.📸 When the camera is aimed, every frame is a masterpiece: silhouettes, reflections, sunset glow, and snowy peaks intertwined, a 100% success rate for photos! --- 🎒 Lijiang Travel Tips ✨ 1. Accommodation Recommendation: Boxin Yun She offers a quiet retreat in the bustling town, just a 10-minute walk to Sifang Street, yet away from the noise. Remember to choose a high-floor room for a window view.🏡 2. Best Photo Time: The Sky Mirror is best photographed one hour before sunset. Bring a flowing long dress or shawl for a fairy-like vibe when the wind blows~ 👗 3. Old Town Stroll: At six or seven in the morning, the stone paths are misty and almost empty, allowing you to enjoy the tranquility of the old town. In the afternoon, explore the alleys and discover coffee shops covered in wisteria☕️. 4. Food Exploration: Besides the steward’s handmade desserts, don’t miss the smoked pork rib hotpot🍲 and chicken bean jelly outside the old town! The fruit stalls at Zhongyi Market🍓 also hold surprises. 5. Nearby Day Trips: If you have time, hire a car to visit Baisha Ancient Town, which is more rustic, where you can look up to see snow-capped mountains alongside the sounds of artisans at work. --- 🌙 At night in Boxin Yun She, the guzheng music fades, but the stars begin to shine. Nestled in the courtyard’s rattan chair, you savor the sweetness of the egg tart, the brilliance of the sunset, and the everlasting golden glow atop the snowy mountain. This is not just a journey, but a return—a cloud-deep place where the heart anchors. 💌 Bring your story along; the wind and clouds of Lijiang are waiting for you to add a gentle touch~
