After leaving Qingcheng, the two went west first to the Wolong Nature Reserve to see wild giant pandas and "cuddle the Buddha's feet" in Benle Mountain. Then they went to the Golden Summit of Mount Emei to see the Buddha's light and scare the monkeys in Mount Emei. The main travel plan in Sichuan
, is complete.
After leaving Emei, Zhou Yan asked Qin Ruoshu to open the navigation and plan the way to Lijiang.
When traveling by car, naturally you see signs of scenic spots on the highway, and if you feel interested, you get off the highway and go for a tour.
They checked in and took photos at Dadu River Estuary, Anshunchang, Menghuo City, Liangshan, Xichang, and even the "Steel City" of Panzhihua.
When entering Caiyunzhinan again, naturally you can’t just go through it like last time. Although you can’t visit all the beautiful places, you can also visit the key points.
The result of the stop-and-go journey was that the two of them walked for more than a week for a distance of less than 800 kilometers. It was already mid-April when they arrived at their destination, Lijiang.
After the two parked their car in a free parking lot on the edge of the ancient city, they packed their bags and checked into a courtyard-style B&B in the ancient city. They went shopping during the day, and sat by the stream in the garden at night to enjoy the snow and taste the experiential experiences during the day.
Small desserts made in a dessert shop.
After only staying for two days, Mrs. Zhou was a little happy and unhappy: "When we go back, we will also build a batch of B&Bs like this in the scenic spots in our hometown. It is a pity that the previous plan was scrapped. Otherwise, the old house would be transformed into this
Such a style, how comfortable it must be at ordinary times..."
"Even if you build a B&B like this at home, you won't be able to get the same experience," Zhou Yan sighed slightly. "The ancient city here obviously shows signs of erosion over time. Some things can be made old, but there is some charm, not
It can accumulate in a short period of time.”
"Just try to comfort me, can't you?"
"Okay," Zhou Yan smiled helplessly, "then we will build a batch of B&Bs and make the street scenes more primitive..."
Although Zhou Yan can't make the scenic spot in his hometown stained with traces of time out of thin air, there is still a way to make it look old. When the time comes, he will try to make as many traces of "time" as possible and try to make the traces of old age "reasonable".
Pathways.
After spending two days enjoying the comfortable life in the ancient city, and feeling a little tired of it, the two of them got together and went on a drive.
After purchasing equipment to deal with altitude sickness and high cold areas, the two went straight to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain.
If you have never been to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, you will only think that it is just a snow mountain. How interesting can it be?
But after listening to the tour guide's explanation, Zhou Yan's views were completely overturned.
How many snow-capped mountains are there near the Tropic of Cancer? Even if there are, how many are there with such beautiful mountains?
The mountains near the Tropic of Cancer also have another biggest feature. From the mountains to the snowy peaks at the top of the mountain, there are three-dimensional ecological museums along the way.
At the foot of the mountain is a tropical rainforest ecosystem that rains in the morning and is sunny in the evening. Above it is a biologically diverse subtropical broad-leaved forest. Above that is a temperate broad-leaved forest with four distinct seasons. After that, there is an evergreen cold-temperate coniferous forest. Below the snow line is
The tundra zone, with the snow-capped peaks at the top.
The Jade Dragon Snow Mountain is beautiful, but it is a bit difficult to climb up. According to Qin Ruoshu's suggestion, in order to get the best tour experience, the two of them hiked directly.
Although the altitude where the car was parked was already very high, he still had to carry tents and other equipment, so he couldn't go any faster. As for Qin Ruoshu, although he only had supplies in his backpack, his speed still couldn't keep up with Zhou Yan, who was carrying a tent and sleeping bag.
As a last resort, Zhou Yan could only act as a humanoid "tractor" and use a trekking pole to pull his wife forward...
"Although it took a little effort, maybe seeing such scenery is worth it..." Qin Ruoshu stood on the viewing platform near the snow line, wearing a disposable oxygen mask, enjoying the mist-shrouded snow peaks and the hidden desire.
He found the jungle at the foot of the mountain and looked back at Zhou Yan, "By the way, how about our son be called Zhou Yulong!"
"My brother-in-law's name is Li Yulin!" Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "Basically the word "yu" cannot be used. For our old Zhou family, when it comes to our sons and daughters, it should be "heart".
"how about you?"
"Heaven, the heaven of heaven and earth," Zhou Yan smiled, "I thought it was a bit too ostentatious at the time, so I didn't add a new name, so I started it all by myself."
"Then let's do it ourselves," Qin Ruoshu's eyes rolled with worry, "We should also learn from the old Zhu family and use the Five Elements character generation. Your side is rock, which belongs to earth. Our children's character generation can have the character wood next to it...
"
Zhou Yan couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really a genius..."
It is easy to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down. However, after enjoying the "scenery of the journey", the two of them are too lazy to suffer any more. They can take the cable car and will never walk by themselves.
The day after descending from the mountain, the two continued westward to the city with the most successful name change, Diqing, also known as Shangri-La.
The closer you get to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the higher the altitude, the clearer the sky, and the air quality is naturally the same.
The blue sky, shady green trees, coupled with the snow-capped and mist-shrouded snow peaks, naturally become a fairyland on earth.
It sounds simple to say, but if you want to have clear blue skies all year round, green trees all year round, and snow-capped peaks shrouded in mist all year round, you can only count on your fingers.
Going to Shangri-La with just your eyes and nose is already an experience. The wonderland on earth plus the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers is a bit luxurious.
Maybe it's because he has seen so many beautiful places in the world that Qin Ruoshu doesn't even bother to appreciate the natural scenery, but only takes photos as material.
After a pleasant trip to Shangri-La, the two's travel plan in the South of Caiyun is basically coming to an end.
However, when Zhou Yan contacted the flight crew and prepared to return, the driver said that the route from Lijiang to Shancheng had been fully booked in the recent period, but the route from Dali to Shancheng could still be queued.
After contacting him, Zhou Yan had no choice but to return to Lijiang from Shangri-La and then transfer to Dali.
While the plane was still waiting for its route, the two of them took a walk around Dali.
The core area of Dali, a vassal state of the Southern Song Dynasty, is the territory of the Southern Emperor. The scenery is naturally unparalleled. Before Zhou Yan returned to this era, Tianxian Liu also filmed a romance film related to B&Bs. The filming location seemed to be
Dali.
Zhou Yan found an excuse and took Qin Ruoshu for a tour.
The B&B where the TV series was filmed has begun to take shape, but the experience of the operator does not seem to be as rich as it would have been more than ten years ago, and the layout of the courtyard is still a bit uncoordinated.
Even so, in this era of materialistic desires and impetuous people, such a batch of small and fresh-style B&Bs that are enough to make people feel at ease are also enough to make people feel amazing.
Especially Qin Ruoshu, who planned to build a "small bridge and flowing water family" in Zhoujialing, was a little jealous, and immediately revised the "plan": "Old Zhou, after we go back, let's build a batch of B&Bs like this as a pilot project?"
"Don't follow the Jiangnan flow style, and change it to something fresh?" Zhou Yan looked gloating, took out the camera from the saddle bag on his shoulder, and handed it over, "It's just that for B&Bs, there are B&Bs first, and then there are B&Bs..."
"Then let's renovate the old house in my hometown first..." Qin Ruoshu took the camera and gritted his teeth fiercely, "Let's see the effect, and then we'll also renovate the one at my uncle's house..."
"I suggest that we use my uncle's house as a model first..." Zhou Yan thought for a moment, "Let's see how our old house works at my uncle's house, and then..."
