Sunny Days Embrace the Morning Light in Wenyuan and Lijiang

As the first ray of sunshine crosses the peaks of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and gently spreads over the blue-tiled walls of Lijiang Ancient Town, Wenyuan awakens from the morning mist. Opening the carved wooden door, the courtyard, still fresh with night dew, stretches its petals under the sunlight🍃. The bluestone path is warmed by the sun, and sunlight filters through the leaves, casting flickering patches of light on the ground.

Climbing the steps to the viewing platform, the entire Lijiang Ancient Town unfolds before your eyes. The sky is a clear, washed blue with not a cloud in sight🏞️. In the distance, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain looks even more sacred in the sunshine, as if within reach.☀️ The rooftops of the ancient town are densely packed, their blue-gray tiles glowing softly in the sunlight. The stream flowing through the town sparkles like a silver ribbon winding through the streets.

In the afternoon, sunlight streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows as you brew a pot of Yunnan Dianhong tea🍵, watching the amber tea slowly unfold in the white porcelain gaiwan, reflecting the blue sky and bamboo shadows outside. Holding a book📚, you occasionally look up to see koi fish playing in the courtyard under the sun, their tail fins skimming the water, splashing tiny droplets that refract colorful light.

At dusk🖼️, the setting sun bathes Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in a warm golden-red glow, and the sky shifts from deep blue to orange-pink and pale purple, layered richly like an oil painting.🏮 The lights of the ancient town gradually come on, blending with the evening glow on the horizon. A gentle evening breeze carries the scent of the town’s lively atmosphere and the freshness of the mountains. At this moment, Boxinyunshe is a harbor wrapped in the tenderness of sunny days, allowing every traveler to shed their fatigue and immerse themselves in the poetry and romance of Lijiang.

📍No. 22, Jinxing Lane, Dayan Street, Lijiang Ancient Town
