National Geographic didn't deceive me!! The snow-capped mountains of Baisha Ancient Town
When I arrived at Fuguo Temple at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Lijiang, Fuguo Temple, which was established in the 29th year of the Wanli era during the Ming Dynasty, was originally the family temple of the Mu clan chieftains. The temple was initially named 'Jietuo Lin,' but later Emperor Xizong of Ming, Zhu Youxiao, bestowed the name 'Fuguo Temple.' It is the mother temple of the five major temples in Lijiang.
After descending the mountain to the foot, I checked into Baisha Muyun Mountain Villa, which is only a five-minute walk from Baisha Ancient Town, with a large bed facing the snow mountain, offering a direct view.
(Five minutes omitted) I walked to Baisha Ancient Town, and to be honest, it is still a commercial street, but within this commercial street, you can still vaguely see some locals doing business, and the streets are lined with many interesting little shops.
The pedestrians on the street are all strolling leisurely (perhaps because the cobblestone road is difficult to walk on), in the courtyard, elders who are inheritors of intangible cultural heritage are swinging the hammer of Thor, tourists are seen everywhere taking photos (including myself), and there's a long queue in front of the Mantou Poet's shop. In Zhang San's grocery store, Zhang San's songs are not playing, and I spent a long time admiring the tie-dye craftsmanship hidden in the antique shop. Upstairs at 7sea, the beauty keeps changing poses, while the guy selling canned milk tea downstairs is enjoying the view, and he whispered to me with a chuckle, 'Bro, if you had come earlier, you could have helped me take a picture of the beauty.'
I had some snacks along the way, the auntie selling grilled milk fan next to Yunwei Ji said the old lady doesn't look good on camera, the owner of Chen Da Chef Baisha Flavor Restaurant wanted to give a discount, but I had already paid the bill, so he offered two bottles of coconut juice, which I've been drinking since I was a child. Time to go back to sleep and watch the sunrise on the Golden Mountain!!
I checked for a seven o'clock sunrise, set an alarm for six fifty, all set, I love Baisha and Baisha loves me, I got up and saw the sunrise on the Golden Mountain, a perfect score of 100
I took a video of the sunrise on the Golden Mountain for my wife, and then we both ran out the door for breakfast
For breakfast, I tried the Mantou Poet's steamed buns and mushroom meat buns, which were artistically oily, and the huge rose steamed buns were packed in a small cloth bag, definitely carb-loaded. I didn't finish the steamed bun and ran to eat the Naxi specialty hot pot!
Baisha Snack Street Naxi Specialty Hot Pot
Must recommend, really delicious, I ordered a Naxi hot pot rice noodles and free-range chicken rice noodles, both were great, and it turns out there really is free-range chicken in the chicken rice noodles, halfway through eating, the guy gave me an egg, saying it's definitely a free-range chicken egg, extra meal time.
If you are looking to enjoy an old town environment but escape the crowds this place is a great choice.
Baisha is the ancient capital of Naxi nationality, once the center of Lijiang politics, economy, commerce and culture. Baisha Ancient Town is the origin of Mu's toast regime. As early as the Tang Dynasty, when the Nanyu Wang Fengyuyu Snow Mountain was "Beiyue", Mu's ancestors were Lijiang King, and Baisha Street and Beiyue Temple were built here. Mu's in Baisha Ancient Town began to attract spring water from the Yulong Snow Mountain to pass through the town.
Dali Lijiang Ancient City has visited, I heard that Baisha Ancient Town has been newly developed, the style is very good, and I am very fond of it. Many shops are still rebuilding and renovating... There is a store with a dog photo that must buy things... The experience is very poor...
After 15 years, under the pressure of the epidemic, I visited Lijiang again. It can be called a surprise only Baisha. Like many strategies, the simplicity and quietness of Baisha is her charm. Craftsmen, romantic poets, and storm travelers from all over the world settle here. Even if there are not many small shops visited by guests in a day, there is still a sense of ritual. As a tourist, you have to slow down your heart. Different small shops have different stories and have different joys.
In the comments, the original ecology was not developed much. The result was that various houses were being built and the scenic goods like Lijiang Shuhe were as expensive. Two-thirds of the places in the white sand mural were still charged for maintenance. 20 The highlight may be that there are several shops inside. There are special features and several non-legacy experience projects
Baisha Ancient Town is located about 10 kilometers from Lijiang City, north of Yulong Snow Mountain, south to Longquan, Xiyizhi Mountain, is the ancient capital of Naxi, world-class "Gunaxi Kingdom", once the center of the politics, economy, commerce and culture of Naxi Lijiang. As one of the important birthplaces of Naxi culture, the Naxi Mushi toast has accumulated experience in planning towns in Baisha. It is one of the components of the world cultural heritage "Lijiang Ancient City". It is located under the Yulong Snow Mountain, north of Lijiang Ancient City. Baisha Ancient Town is the origin of the regime of Lijiang Tusi "Mu family". Baisha Ancient Town is the ancient town with the most ancient style of Naxi and the most original ecological Naxi village.
Baisha Ancient Town, let time set [strong] ~ Many years ago, a group of foreigners settled here, so most of the town shops are bilingual signs, and many Naxi residents can also communicate in English. Just a street, but you can leisurely all day, Lijiang's most beautiful town, well-deserved! The famous white sand mural, about one kilometer away, proves the far-reaching humanities of the ancient town!
