Notes on a trip to Yunnan: Lijiang Music Coffee

The fresh and beautiful ancient city of Lijiang

International online News (Reporter Xu Jia) the ancient city of Lijiang, also known as the ancient town of Dayan, has been read countless times on TV and magazines, and friends around them often regard Yunnan, especially Lijiang, as the first choice for travel and vacation. Perhaps everyone who has not been to Lijiang has his own Lijiang, and everyone who has been to Lijiang will use the souvenirs brought back from Lijiang to outline his memory of Lijiang.

At noon on June 27, with the cordial voice of the flight attendants, "Please turn off your mobile phones and other mobile devices", I began to look forward to the appearance of a unique scenery like a paradise flying to the corner of western Yunnan.

Early in the morning, walking on the wet slate road of the ancient city of Lijiang, the ancient houses on both sides are very similar to the Huizhou-style buildings in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the small shops around are closed, so I guess it is relatively late to close. Thanks to the shopkeepers who are sleeping in the morning, so that I can enjoy the quiet morning of the ancient city. Sitting on a small bridge in front of a cafe, looking at the East River across the city, the swaying water plants in the clear river, and occasionally Naxi old people wearing Naxi national costumes wearing "stars and the moon" on their backs pass by. If there is no music floating into the ear, it makes people feel how beautiful it is to grow old slowly.

This season of Lijiang sometimes drizzle with a trace of cold cool, sometimes the sun baked us, as if roasting our youth. Perhaps there is no need for any direction here, so lazy does not matter what is strong, does not matter what sadness is better.

As if I was a little hungry, I walked to a stall at random, nibbled on poop and Naxi rice cakes and continued to wander. I began to wonder about the Dongba language under the name of the shop. Can anything be written as the only surviving Dongba language in the world? When I saw that there were Dongba languages under KFC and Pizza Hunt, I laughed and thought it was really funny. Unwittingly walked through many cafes and small bars that are not yet open, wondering what kind of sound and rhythm will sound here after nightfall. In Lijiang, the paradise of music is in the cafe. Follow your feelings, choose any one, order a cup of coffee, sit down and look out of the window, listen to the music and start to be in a daze, so that every memory of music remains in your mind. Close to the exit of an ancient city is also near the entrance. Looking at it, it is covered with Dongba wishing wind chimes. I go forward and look for the one I hung up three years ago. I don't know why I know that I can't find it, but I still waste my time looking for it. In this vaguely seeming scene of an ancient plateau town thousands of miles away from home, memories have become collapsed due to a little altitude sickness.

Choose the inn in the high part of the ancient city, you can see the beautiful panoramic view of the ancient town of Lijiang under the blue sky, and then you can sort out the people you meet and what happens every day here. In fact, what stays in the bottom of my heart is the most simple and lasting.
