As the important spot of tea-horse roads connecting Yunnan with Sichuan and Tibet, the old town of Lijiang has been a famous trade center in southwest China’s history, crowded by horse caravans, merchants, and travelers. Nowadays, all streets are full of tourists from various places. Women wearing fancy designed shawls, clothes and accessories in local Naxi style walk leisurely by twos and threes along the colorful stone paths and alleys, while men find themselves suddenly fall into a sea of flowers, busy watching pretty girls with their sparkling eyes and wondering why God only gives human one pair of eyes, hiahia.
Therefore, it’s kind of true that Chinese people regard this romantic town as one of the ideal places to “have affairs” (causal sex, or one-night stand if have to be frankly speaking).
The old town of Lijiang was built in the end of 13th century, based on the design of Shuhe old town. Sifang Jie Square is its heart, as well as the main business plaza of the ancient city. House and streets extend out the Square as a spider’s web, in irregular and asymmetrical layout without traditional grand city walls. The water from Black-dragon Pool joins another creek from Jade-dragon Snow Mountain, and becomes Yuhe River which has been divided into three streams after Yuhe Bridge, passing by the Watermills in North Gate of the city. The water is considered as the city’s eye, bringing freshness and vitality to this elegance town, and make it a dynamic place to live.
Naxi people have a special affection for water. They cherish the source of water and protect it carefully. Here comes their unique invention, the three-spit well (one well with three pools). The upper well providers drinking water, the middle is used for cleaning vegetables and the third is for washing laundry. People always strictly follow the rules as customs and habits. When Mr.T and I took a walk in the old town, we passed the Three-spit Well on Guangbi Alley. I just finished eating an apple, and had the feeling to run to the well to wash my sticky hands in the third pool. Wow! So amazing! The water is very clear and cold as icy water! However, at that time there’s an auntie cleaning chicken (or fish?) in the second pool. So Mr.T joked that I got stink fishy hands, yerk!

这沙发不好抢啊!就能打开一张图片,不过很喜欢那木屋,古色古香的感觉!
你得换个网络。。。 ;;)
图片打开了呢,看书的那张不符合你的形象啊,太淑女了有没有! :-O
介个,我一直都是看似娴淑文静大方的 =))
别闹 :blush
有点爱好,有点钱,有点闲
吾輩想吃那個乳扇 😀
K+:菜單看起來很厚的樣子
乳扇是大理特产之一,以前上学时有同学带给我们吃,都吃不惯呢 😀
也有可能呢,畢竟系乾酪製品,不過看起來很不錯的樣子的說 😀
我吃了几片,奶香四溢,脆脆的,感觉挺不错 :O)
随着时间和地域变化,个人口味也变了,和以前不太一样了 😀
绿藤配古朴的小店,再加上长发美铝,一道靓丽的风景~ =))
姐姐洗手的井水真的是清澈的吗,照片上看来有点浑浊呢~
照片上都看到有杀鸡杀鸭都去那洗,肯定很油腻。
认真看看,人家那是打水在盆里洗的,不然第十图的小哥怎么洗衣嘛 😉
011图那大婶我认识。 :)) =)) 他们家卖姜糖的。 =))
以前我铁党追她女儿,天天都被拽着去买姜糖,吃得一星期流两次鼻血。
他买,你可以不吃,扔了喂猪。。。 B-)
很清的 O:-) 大概是周围井石的颜色,所以看上去不是那种清澈见底的
发呆免费,好嘛,岚姐选了个好座位~~~ =))
最开始时坐在最左边的,后来别人走了,我们就挪过去 :)) 正好发呆免费了
云南唉。。丽江古镇
如此哀叹作甚,有空有闲钱了就去呗。。。 ;;)
@岚只可惜我上学呢。其实我们宿舍就有云南。嘎嘎。。
才不可惜呢,一年有三个月长假。。 😉
我们只有2个半月。
对于年假只有一周的人来说,这个“只是”尤显得刺眼 B-)
最后还不都是一样啊。
也有异样的,比如教职员 😉
魔女肌肉发达,鉴定完毕,哈哈
那是自然的,不然怎么坐镇魔境、笑傲三界。。 :evil
😀 黑眼圈,熊猫眼,定又是个夜猫。
我会告诉你那是吾辈最喜的烟熏妆么。。。 B-) 😉
真羡慕你,可以全国各地随便行走。
没有啊,也得等我家大头目有空了才一起出去散散心。。 🙂
总归有的走是好的~
民俗风情,美!
乱花渐欲迷人眼,浅草也有别样香。。 :O)
哎呀,哎呀,终于找到一个发呆免费的地方了,果然与我有缘! =))
以后也去玩一玩吧,小苗。。。 😀
去,一定要去,带着我的姐姐们一起去。 :))
旅游就是爽啊。可惜俺是无闲无钱,有爱好也没用。
你有爱好,也有点小钱,不过没闲,走不开也没法走开 ;;) 不如换个环境咯
非常美的景色,很喜欢这样的拍照风格
什么时候喝茶也免费了我就去那座座
付得起几千上万的camera居然付不起几块的茶水钱,诳谁呢。。 😉
喝茶以免费为本
茶水免费,服务费100rmb,谢谢 O:-)
难道服务费不是消费金额的10%么,如果我小学老师没教错的话,0的10%应该也是等于0吧
无论消费多少,服务费以100rmb起价,谢谢 O:-)
把你的邮件从垃圾邮件里拉出来之后果然很及时了。。。
以前就说过会掉Spam的,你不以为然 [-(
拍的不错,赞
木府那段?
最后几图。。。 ;;)
好有钱哪,表示木有钱 整天旅游,
真漂亮,不知道能存活到哪一天就被拆除了
既然是世界文化遗产古城,除非天灾人祸各种不可抗拒力,再过几百年应该没问题
挺喜欢发呆免费那个场所,哈哈 要是人少点能像言叶之庭里面的小亭子就好了。
下次有机会来济南玩玩,也有泉水。 🙂
可以寻个幽静的小巷,小桥流水的店里喝茶发呆什么的。。 :))
哎呀呀,丽江果然好地方。 只是现在这天好热
丽江常年温度在28-14C左右,很舒服的 😀 雨天才比较冷
风景好美啊…
人也好美啊…
愿望纸能保存多久呀?
我估计不掉下来的话,店家就一直让它呆在那儿了 🙂
我也想去丽江玩玩啊,可是太远了,机票好贵~
四五年去不了,十年二十年总是可以去一去的咯 ;;)
图没显示额,还是加上https,https不稳定。 :-*
哪里加了,根本就没有。国外的友人都能看到图,为啥你的网打不开 😉
牦牛不是西藏独有的吗 咋个云南也有土特产牦牛肉了 还是我意识中认为错了
丽江和迪庆都有的哈。。不过没多少真货,哪来这么多牦牛肉嘛 ;;)
现在好多古镇里的小店都被装修得好小清新的风格。
我去乌镇西塘的时候,也遇见好多这样的小店。
能找个地方一直坐着看书上网,真的好惬意。。
我天天呆家里就完全木有这种感觉呢。。就觉得好无聊。好无聊。。。
所以说,环境还是很重要的 😀 同样的事,不同的地方,不同的感受
丽江号称发呆免费,那发情呢。。。 😀
发情也免费,只要对得上眼。。。艳遇就是这么来的 =))
记住了,以后俺也要去。
