Lijiang, a place for young people to get away from the hustle and bustle and slow down their pace of life.
Coincidentally, in August, during the peak tourist season, Lijiang Ancient Town was overcrowded. At night, the streets were packed with people, but it wasn't noisy at all. The commercialization of the ancient town is also quite serious. When entering the ancient town, it feels like shopping in a large chain supermarket, with only sellers everywhere...
I stayed in Lijiang for two nights. On the second night, I stayed in a newly opened homestay. I didn't look carefully at the environment and hurriedly made the payment. Later, I found that this homestay had many problems. There was no air conditioning, the floor was uneven, and there were stains on the bed. It was a very unpleasant stay.
Bonfire dance, the songs were quite nice.

The tour to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain was a pure sightseeing tour, priced at 310 yuan. There were some pitfalls, the lunch was like pig food, with no oil or flavor, just cabbage and a few pieces of chicken. You have to queue all the way up to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and you need to buy separate tickets for the sightseeing bus to the mountain and the Blue Moon Valley, which cost an additional 60 yuan.
We went to Spruce Meadow on Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, which is said to lead to the ideal kingdom of the Naxi people, the "Third Kingdom of Jade Dragon". The tour guide at the foot of the mountain talked about some Naxi culture.
