The beautiful city of Lijiang, I do not know how many people come here, and how many people come here by themselves, want to have a romantic love affair.
When you are in a bad mood, you can come to Lijiang;
When you fall out of love, you can come to Lijiang;
When you work under pressure, you can come to Lijiang;
When you are alone, you can come to Lijiang;
When you ......
Lijiang seems to be an all-encompassing city that embraces people of different states of mind to come here to heal and cure .
Lijiang seems to be another place that makes people want to be in the wrong place, but is Lijiang really a city of erotic encounters? And how many people have had real encounters here?

Before I came to Lijiang, I saw a friend describing the scene of Lijiang's eroticism: a girl drinking in a bar, next to a young man immediately surrounded, very naturally chatting with the girl, ask the girl to drink, and soon the girl was taken by the young man, and the two walked out of the bar hand in hand.... ...
The reason why I want to go to Lijiang, the first is that I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lijiang at the same time can relax, and the second is that I want to see this so-called city of sexual encounters is whether there are other people say so exaggerated.
A girl and I met on the road in Dali, and we met together to go to Lijiang.
April 6, we took a morning train from Dali, and finally arrived at the legendary Lijiang.
When we arrived at the hostel we had booked it was indeed exactly the same as what I had seen on the Internet, very cozy and literary feeling.
The lobby on the first floor is equipped with some game equipment, and a place to play guitar and sing, next to a rocking chair designed for girls. Travelers staying here can do what they like.
Each floor has recreational programs that we can play, either reading a book quietly on the balcony or playing ping pong on the hallway.
There was no more interesting place than the rooftop of the hostel, which was oriented just to see the panoramic view of Lijiang. We could sit on the rocking chairs and enjoy the view, or use binoculars to admire the beautiful Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance.
The guy who checked us in at the hostel was a handsome guy from Guangdong, and he was very enthusiastic about recommending the more interesting places in Lijiang.
He told us that the weather was better in the afternoon, suitable for horseback riding and boating in Lashihai, and that they could arrange a vehicle in the hostel. It just so happens that we also think it is also very good, so we signed up to go to Lashihai.
And we traveled all the way along with the three men from the hostel, at first we felt a little embarrassed, but when we heard that there were two soldiers in them, we were immediately interested.
We don't talk about it, a chat shocked, three men are actually biological three brothers, actually and I am Sanmenxia hometown.
I go out rarely able to meet the hometown, I did not expect to just come to Lijiang on the encounter, which makes me feel there is a hint of surprise.
We tasted their local chicken hot pot at the Naxi restaurant next to the Tea Horse Road. After the meal, our group of five started to hike up the road with the horse-drawn men leading us.
I've always loved the feeling of riding a horse, I've ridden horses before but only for ten minutes at most, this time we rode for nearly half an hour.
From the flat main road riding started to ride uphill, those ponies are very thin, goosebumps on the way up the hill, fellow companions are yelling sore butt.
Waiting for the downhill, the horse a walk a stop, occasionally walking on the stone road, a little careless horse legs a slip, our hands are pinched a sweat in the heart, afraid of their own from the back of the horse fell down.
To the Lashihai side, one by one, two by two, we began to row in the water, the calm surface of the lake so that our hearts are very peaceful, and occasionally hear the seagulls cries.
A breeze gently brushed my cheeks, it made me feel very cozy, and I was accompanied by the eldest of the three brothers. He doesn't like to talk much, and while paddling he cranked up the music, and together we felt very cozy as we skated aimlessly on the lake while listening to the music.

I don't know when it started, Lijiang Old Town in the daytime must collect maintenance fees to enter. The first time I saw this was at 6:00 pm, so I was able to avoid the maintenance fee.
The so-called "love affair" started from the bar in the old town, which was lit up at night and full of guitarists singing.
We walked to the bar street immediately attracted by the deafening music, fixed eyes to look at the store, that is very famous one meter sunshine bar ah.
The two of us cheered together, only to see the bar playing powerful music, green men and women with the music, swaying.
We were so mesmerized that the waiter at the door forced us to go in and watch. We were shocked by this action, panicked and fled, feeling too terrible, there is actually such a forced solicitation.
The night of the ancient city is crowded, the small bar street is bustling, along the way we encountered at least four or five one-meter sunshine store, almost every store is very crazy. It put us off.
Since we came to Bar Street, even though we two girls don't drink, we wanted to find a quiet bar to sit for a while with some orange juice and soak up the atmosphere. We ended up picking a small, quieter bar, Bar Ri.
The guitarists at Little Bar Lai sang songs that were old classics. The lead singer had such long hair that we thought he was a female singer at first. But he did have a nice, magnetic voice.
We both ordered two glasses of juice and sat quietly in the corner listening to the songs and observing the people around us. We realized that the people in the bar, whether they were couples or alone, they were listening to the music very quietly and it wasn't as scary as we thought it would be.

On the morning of April 7, we went to Shuhe Ancient Town together, an older place, and when we went in, it really felt much quieter than Dayan Ancient Town.
Walking in Shuhe, we followed the direction of the river, the water is crystal clear, and you can hear the sound of crashing water.
Just after 10 am, we enjoyed the Naxi classical music, which was exclusively for the two of us on stage. Even though it was just the two of us, the Naxi people performed with great concentration.
Next to the Shuhe River, there is a Time Walk Inn, which is very famous, I have seen it online more than once before, and this time I was able to meet it even more like it.
There are many travelers here to leave their own traces, write a postcard to their most cherished people.
I left my own traces here, bought a postcard to send to the future self, just hope that one day in the future I will still be here to meet the self at that time.
We started hiking from the end of the ancient town of Shuhe to the ancient town of Baisha, which takes two hours to navigate on foot. It was very hot at noon and we were very tired.
I wanted to try to hitchhike, but never found a suitable opportunity. Who knows a three-wheeler took the initiative to stop in front of us and asked if we wanted a ride.
Baisha ancient town is very small, here live the most primitive Naxi villagers, a group of elderly people in the square dancing Arieli dance, especially passionate.

It was late in the day in Lijiang, so I rode my little yellow bike with my donkey friend through the streets of Lijiang.
On the way, I met two boys from Northeast China who were also riding bicycles, so we went all the way to the beautiful Qingxi Reservoir in Lijiang.
It is said that this reservoir was the first source of drinking water in Lijiang, and it is still very beautiful. A group of us strolled along the path of the reservoir, mesmerized by the beautiful scenery. There were one or two couples taking wedding photos around the area, adding a colorful touch to the beautiful scenery.

In the evening we returned to the hostel, the hostel partners greeted us to play wolf kill. I was so confused that I didn't know how to play, so I just watched them kill and kill and kill, which was especially fun.
The two-day journey ended in such a hurry and meaningful. I don't know what the so-called City of Lovely Encounters is like, maybe it's just as others have described.
The Lijiang I met was not like this, I met a group of interesting people in the youth hostel, we ate together and chatted and played games.
When I went out to travel, I met people like myself on the road, and we walked together *** with the same company for a while, and then left.
The so-called love affair, I think it is to meet better and their own same people. I think the so-called "love affair" is to meet better people who are like you.
To be able to meet, to be able to walk together is a better love affair.
