The severely underrated Yunnan, it feels like retirement life has already been planned out

Quaint dwellings, alleys by the canals Today's Baisha still retains its simplicity from 20 years ago, with many interesting little shops lining the streets. Sitting in a café in the old town, gazing at the distant snow-capped mountains, it feels like retirement life has already been planned out. 🏔【Off the Beaten Path Recommendations】 1️⃣ Black Dragon Pool Park No need to wake up early, just 2 kilometers from Lijiang Ancient Town, you can see the stunning 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise' at Black Dragon Pool Park🌅 2️⃣ Qingxi Reservoir Navigate to Qingxi Park, a little-known spot only locals are aware of, where the reservoir is crystal clear🌊, and you can look up to see the snow-capped mountains. 3️⃣ Zhongji Sea Park Here, there's a large area of redwood trees, where you can camp and watch the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, very pleasant. 4️⃣ Baisha Old Town Of the three ancient towns in Lijiang, Baisha is my favorite. It's not very big, but it's not so commercialized. Order a cup of coffee☕️, and you can spend the afternoon watching the snow-capped mountains from the rooftop. 5️⃣ Yuhu Village Yuhu Village is probably the most characteristic ancient village in Lijiang, built entirely of stone, hidden at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, secluded and hermitic. 6️⃣ Longnu Lake A small lake at the foot of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, with a solitary tree🌳 by the lake, where cattle and sheep graze, as if it's a paradise on earth. 7️⃣ Wenhai Not Xinjiang, but Wenhai Village in Lijiang, with lakes, grasslands, cattle, and sheep🐑... and the distant snow-capped mountains, like a fairy tale. 8️⃣ Jinta Scenic Area The free and unmanned Lijiang Jinta, reflecting the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, leaves a deep impression. 🚗【3-Day Itinerary】 I've organized this 3-day itinerary that allows you to see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and experience the lesser-known spots in Lijiang. For the detailed route map, please refer to P2: 🟡 day1 Black Dragon Pool Park——Qingxi Reservoir——Zhongji Sea Park 🟡 day2 Baisha Old Town——Yuhu Village——Longnu Lake 🟡 day3 Wenhai——Lijiang Jinta Scenic Area 💡【Travel Tips】 🌅 About 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise': In winter (December-January), as long as it's a sunny day, there's a high chance of seeing the 'Golden Mountain by Sunrise', with sunrise around 8:00-8:15 AM. 🧥Weather and Clothing: Yunnan is one of the best travel destinations in winter, with a comfortable climate that's not cold. Wear a down jacket in the morning and evening, and a light jacket or shell jacket during the day.

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!

Don't just go to the ancient city when you come to Lijiang, I highly recommend this niche attraction!

Coming to Lijiang, you don't have to squeeze with people to see the sunrise on the Golden Mountain up close, it is located next to the Lijiang ancient city. Don't miss this place when you come to Lijiang. --About transportation- Location: Lijiang Black Dragon Pool Park Train: Lijiang Station Plane: Sanyi Airport It is recommended to stay near the ancient city of Lijiang, where it is convenient for food, accommodation and transportation! About the attraction Black Dragon Pool, also known as Jade Spring Park, is located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain in the north of the city. It is one of the 4A scenic spots in Lijiang. The history can be traced back to the Qianlong period. When you enter, you can see a clear and crystal clear pool of water, covering an area of about 40,000 square meters. The beautiful shape here is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the clear and beautiful mountains and rivers are embellished with classical architecture, which complement each other. The sunrise on the Golden Mountain here is even more unique! Walk straight from the main entrance and you will reach here first, which is also the position facing the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. I like this place the most. The sunrise on the Golden Mountain taken from the position here will be the most positive. Walking forward is the Lock Green Bridge. I think the most outstanding one is this bridge, which can take the whole panorama. This is also a very good position to take the sunrise. You can sit here and wait for the sunrise on the Golden Mountain, but you need to go early, there are not many positions here. Five-hole Bridge The bridge facing the Liberation Forest can take close-up shots of the sunrise on the Golden Mountain !Tips 1. There is an entrance fee here, also called the ancient city maintenance fee. It is recommended to go in before 7:20 in the morning without an entrance fee 2. Everyone must pay attention to the sunrise time to avoid missing it. It is still very cold in Lijiang in the morning, so keep warm

The Black Dragon Pool in Lijiang has an indescribable beauty!

In the hustle and bustle of the world, I suddenly found this peaceful paradise🌈. The wonderful picture composed of Wufeng Tower and the snow mountain is not owned by the world🎨. Wufeng Tower stands between the mountains and rivers, like a long-standing scroll🖼. In its quiet pavilion, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery that people can't extricate themselves from🌷. And the snow mountain is like a delicate work of art, inlaid behind Wufeng Tower, as if it is a real fairy tale story🧚. This shocking natural scene has inspired my unlimited photography inspiration, making each photo eternal📷💫. ✨Must-visit travel destination💯 💎Don't miss the unpopular attractions❗ The Black Dragon Pool Wufeng Tower and the snow mountain reflect each other, open the phone lens📱, and capture this breathtaking moment💖. 🧭Shooting location guide: Located at the south end of the park🌲, you can see the De Yue Tower, the Five-Hole Bridge, and the pavilions and pavilions at sunrise🌅; Walking north from the side door on the first bridge, you can get a wide view of the snow mountain terrain and lake scenery🏞 🚶‍♂Free tour channel: Go to the small white bridge in front of the parking lot of the 🏢, and you can enter the park smoothly🎫; It should be noted that when I entered the park at about 10 o'clock in the morning, I did not charge a ticket💸, but I was told to buy a ticket in the afternoon🎟; 🗺Recommended tour route: Start from the main entrance🚪, walk to the north gate, along the way you can enjoy the snow mountain🏔 and bridge🌉 from different angles, and the magnificent scene of the pavilion. Then climb up the Elephant Mountain from the north gate, and then return to the ground from the main entrance🛤. ⏰Recommended tour time: If it is just for sightseeing, it takes about 1 hour to travel all the way in the park⌛. Considering the impact of the geographical environment, climbing is more laborious⛰, please leave plenty of time⏳; 🍜Restaurant recommendation: Due to personal taste, I chose the nearby 🏠 to eat rice noodles, especially recommend their stinky tofu rice noodles, the taste is unique and worth a try🥢😋. The shop owner is kind and can tell you your taste preferences in advance🍽, because Yunnan's taste is heavier, it may not be suitable for the taste of southerners🦷. The seemingly ordinary park🎡 is actually like a fairyland🧜‍♀! Local residents can even enter and exit at will🚶‍♀, and daily life is no different from the streets and alleys of Shanghai🌆. The small bridges🌉, pavilions🌸, and towers in the park are all beautiful against the backdrop of the snow mountain🌄, making tourists can't help but stop and take pictures every few steps📸, which is fascinating💖!

Black Dragon Pool Park - 5/5

Just a 15 min walk from the old town of Lijiang, we had a wonderful afternoon at Black Dragon Pool Park. It’s a well maintained park which you can walk around easily, enjoy the scenic view of Yu Long mountain, feed the fish and take in the Chinese architecture. The Longshen temple in the middle of the lake stands out which was built almost 300 years ago. if you are up for a hike you can start climbing the stairs on elephant hill to enjoy the beautiful panoramic view. We didn’t pay the entrance fee cause the phone map brought us to the other side of the park so we actually climbed elephant hill before reaching the park. it’s an almost 2 hour detour which I don’t recommend for people with walking difficulties or hot weather.

The pool dragon !

This May holiday, we decided to pay a visit to this land of dragons. Although China is said to be famous for dragons, Lijiang is such a city with so many natural attractions made in analogy with dragon look alike. Here's one simple but totally mind-blowing park that gives you the view of Black dragon. The temple standing there is perceived to be the head of the dragon and the bridge is the neck; while the remaining pool out there is the body of it. Yes, I'm talking about the Black dragon pool (黑龙潭） in Lijiang. Situated near to the ancient town, we checked in at the hotel Moutan in Jiaoyu road. And the park is just 200m from there. The interesting part is they don't have any entry tickets to visit the dragon pool, which is much appreciated. #couplestrip #yunnantravel #maydaytrip#urbanexplorer#happylaborday
