Lijiang is really next level...so beautiful

The scenery of Lijiang is truly worthy of the word "God"! This ancient city combines natural wonders with cultural heritage, and every part of it seems to have been carefully carved by God. **1. Jade Dragon Snow Mountain: The Silver Crown of the Divine Realm** - **Blue Moon Valley**: The Tiffany blue lake at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, the water color changes with the light, like a palette overturned by a god. - **Yunshanping**: Alpine meadows surrounded by primeval forests, with snow-capped mountains just around the corner, just like the Middle-earth in "The Lord of the Rings". **2. Dayan Ancient Town: Living Tea-Horse Memory** - The stone pavement in the early morning glowed with green light, the Naxi courtyard with three courtyards and one screen wall was hung with red lanterns, and the snow-capped mountains were looming in the distance. - I recommend going to the cafe on the top of **Lion Rock**. When you look down at the lights of thousands of homes, the entire ancient city looks like stars falling into the valley. **3. Lugu Lake: The Ultimate Romance of Water Lilies** - In June, the lake is covered with white petals (really called "water lilies"), and the Mosuo people row their pig trough boats through the morning mist. It is so beautiful that I am speechless. - The heart-shaped bay on the **Rig Peninsula** is a paradise on earth for photographers to wait for the sunrise. **4. Tiger Leaping Gorge: Violent Aesthetics** - The Jinsha River tore a crack between the Yulong and Haba Snow Mountains, and the roar of the huge waves could even drown out the noise of drones. If it is your first time here, it is recommended to give up the check-in style tour - getting lost in the alleys of the ancient city, basking in the sun with the Naxi grandma, and drinking a cup of snow mountain coffee are the correct ways to unlock Lijiang.
