Lijiang Ancient Town | The South of Colorful Clouds, the direction of my heart

🌤 Finally, the long-awaited holiday has arrived, and I've taken my first steps towards the much-anticipated Lijiang! 💦 I've always longed for Lijiang, having heard since childhood about the clouds ☁ of Yunnan that come from the sky, drifting back and forth, creating a world of changing light and shadow. As someone who has a special fondness for ancient styles, I am full of longing for Lijiang, this ancient city with a long history. 🌹 Recommended homestay: Tianyu Tower Inn (Lijiang Ancient Town South Gate Mu Mansion Branch) 📍 Location: It's near the South Gate of Lijiang Ancient Town, easy to find. If you book the homestay in advance, there are staff members who will provide luggage transfer services at the South Gate, which is super convenient and the service is excellent! 🏡 Accommodation experience: I arrived in Lijiang Ancient Town quite late, and I must praise the inn for its comfortable and spacious rooms. I checked in upon arrival and was greeted with welcome gifts, complimentary soft drinks 🥂, pastries 🍰, etc., from the mini-bar in the room. The soft big bed relieved my fatigue from the day, and the inn's adorable 🐶 welcoming dog, Tank, wagging its head beside me, was extremely cute! 👒 Touring experience: 🎒 After a comfortable night's rest at the inn, the next day my best friend and I went to explore the ancient town! The inn is very close to the scenic spots in the ancient town, and there's even a Hanfu experience hall 👘. We dressed up in beautiful Hanfu and experienced the beauty of the ancient town, as if we were transported back in time, instantly becoming ladies of distinction! 🍯 🌈 I must say, the ancient town is really beautiful. It is one of the most ethnically characteristic cities in China, also known as the 'Venice of the East' 🏖. With its rich folk culture and unique natural scenery, wandering through the streets and alleys, 🏞 the babbling streams, ☁ the drifting clouds, everywhere is a beautiful view, every shot is a masterpiece. My best friend and I are extremely satisfied with our trip to Lijiang! 🥘 Gourmet feast: 🏝 The highland water town lives up to its reputation, with small bridges over flowing water and willow pavilions. Not only is the scenery beautiful and the people warm, but the local cuisine is also exceptional! During our stay, my best friend and I gained a few pounds! The fragrant and sweet Lijiang steam pot chicken 🍱; the lean and delicious Black Goat hotpot 🥘; the crispy and aromatic Lijiang Baba; the spicy and refreshing pounded chicken feet 🍖, and many more, countless and unforgettable, they made us so greedy! 🌻 There are three things in Lijiang that you can't take away, the endless sunshine, the slowed-down time, and the original taste of nature~🌺 There is a life called Yunnan, there is a beauty called Lijiang, and I have already started planning my next trip to Lijiang!
