The great day to set off for Lijiang! Since everything was already arranged in advance, the two of us took it easy and arrived at the airport with sleepy eyes, aish, the early morning flight was really tiring, okay?!!

After a long, long time, falling asleep countless times on the plane, we finally arrived in Lijiang.

About to start a joyful trip, this feeling is so awesome~

The inn culture in Lijiang is very important; it determines whether you have fun in Lijiang. We also found this inn through a friend's recommendation. Now thinking about it, I absolutely love her! (Wife, don't hit me~)

The innkeeper is a retired soldier who stayed in Lijiang after arriving. We thought he would be an uncle, but he is actually very young and quite funny. On this trip to Lijiang, he arranged almost everything for us, very thoughtful. After arriving at the inn, he helped us put our luggage in the room, then told us about the old town's attractions, what to pay attention to, where to eat well, and where to enjoy the best views. Every day we stayed, he would brew tea and wait for us to come back, or accompany us for a stroll in the old town. When we returned late, he would also call to see if we were lost and needed him to come pick us up. Overall, he was not like an innkeeper, but more like a friend we hadn't seen for a long time.

We wandered around Lijiang Old Town for a while, then decided to climb Lion Hill and go to Wangu Tower. We wanted to see the sun shining on the golden snow mountain from Wangu Tower, but we waited and waited and finally didn't see it—maybe it was due to the weather. Silently, we returned the same way. It's a regret, but it's okay. Without regrets, where would we get the motivation to come again next time?

By the time we came down from Wangu Tower, it was already evening, so we had to reward ourselves for working hard all day (mainly because we wanted to eat something delicious, okay?!!)

The next day we woke up naturally and then prepared to go to Lashi Lake and the Ancient Tea Horse Road. So we asked the innkeeper to arrange it for us, and it was really great! The scenery at Lashi Lake was beautiful, perfect for taking photos of my wife, and riding horses along the winding and rugged Ancient Tea Horse Road let us appreciate the hardships of back then!

In Lijiang Old Town, there are many offers for trips to Lashi Lake and the Ancient Tea Horse Road for just a few dozen kuai. I recommend not choosing those, because they are not purely for fun—most involve shopping. It's better to ask the innkeeper. After all, when traveling, we should prioritize happiness and enjoyment~

Riding horses up and down the mountain was an experience completely different from the grasslands. The winding and rugged paths, sometimes even a bit dangerous, left a deep impression on this trip. P.S.: The day after riding, my butt hurt for a long time, haha, leaving a memory~

By the time we returned from the Eternal Love Show, it was almost 9 PM. We had been eating stir-fried dishes and rice for a while, so we wanted a change! We had a hotpot (huotang), and it was really delicious.

Mufu Palace, Mufu Palace—a place of regret. When I wanted to go last time, it was closed due to the filming of "Go Fighting!" So this year, I had to fulfill this dream no matter what! No one can stop me! Finally, this year my dream came true—so happy, seriously~

Since it was a graduation trip for my girlfriend, it had to be somewhat upscale. So I took her to a high-end hotel near Shuhe Ancient Town. I booked a deluxe villa room, which was very private and elegant. My girlfriend was very satisfied. The hotel is adjacent to Shuhe Ancient Town, with a distant view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Every path leading to the accommodation area is lined with green trees and red flowers, making for super beautiful photos. As soon as we entered the hotel, a faint fragrance of osmanthus flowers wafted, refreshing the mind. The overall style of the hotel is like a small Jiangnan courtyard. Coming to Lijiang for a vacation is all about a slow-paced life, and you can fully feel this relaxed and carefree feeling in the hotel.

So for an entire day, we idled around happily in the hotel, snapping various bed photos and having fun~~

Because I really didn't want my trip to become a checklist-style trip, we chose a less common off-road beach buggy one-day tour. So exciting, right? Accelerating, dust flying, racing around the arena—it was super fun~

In the evening, we returned to Shuhe Ancient Town and ate a very famous local delicacy—small pot rice. It was super delicious. As soon as it was served, we felt the aroma. Totally worth it. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, good service, and reasonable prices. My girlfriend was super happy, listening to music while eating delicious food—it felt worthwhile!
