How should I describe this trip to Yunnan in April?

Choosing to come to Lijiang in spring was definitely the right decision!!! My friends had long told me that I must visit Yunnan for its incredibly beautiful scenery, and I chose Lijiang for my trip to Yunnan. Before coming, I was really worried that altitude sickness would disrupt the rest of my trip, but after arriving, I found that the biggest impact was actually my own lack of physical stamina. 1 I chose a relatively easy route, Blue Moon Valley. I'm quite grateful that although it was an overcast day, there was occasional sunshine, making the lake water shimmer like jewels under the sun, framed by the snow-capped mountains like a scene from a movie. I didn't arrange any subsequent itinerary, so I could take a leisurely stroll around the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Before leaving, I kept taking live photos, saying I'd take one last look. 2 Finally, I arrived at Tiger Leaping Gorge. Starting from halfway to the Middle Tiger Leaping, I marveled at the scenery I had never seen before all along the way. From Mr. Zhang's guesthouse to the Middle Tiger Leaping, it was pure mountain climbing with strong winds and lots of dust. By the end, my pants, shoes, mask, and nostrils were all covered in dust, and even the water I drank was mixed with dirt. This part of the journey also resulted in cuts on my hands and a swollen knee, making it difficult to climb stairs the next day. The kindness of strangers who gave me a mask and band-aids reminded me that there is true kindness in the world. 3 I chose to wander around Lijiang Ancient Town, where the vegetation coverage far exceeds that of other cookie-cutter ancient towns. Walking through the ancient town and admiring the flowers was like strolling through a park. Spending is entirely up to oneself, and my most satisfying purchase was Jiahua fresh flower cakes and Dongba paper.
