Baisha Ancient Town In the evening, I quietly went to Baisha Ancient Town, the town was quiet and terrifying, there were no people, most of the shops were closed, and the few who opened their doors looked really literary, coffee bars, beer bars, dessert shops and medical centers in Chinese and English...... The important thing is to look up at the sky, the sky is full of stars, the sky is full of stars, it is spectacular and spectacular! It's a pity that I didn't bring a DSLR. 
Baisha Ancient Town There are many plants of this Rosaceae family in the town, and it feels like it is growing and blooming desperately. Baisha Ancient Town is the birthplace of Naxi Dongba culture, an ancient town 12 kilometers north of Lijiang City, which can still maintain a relatively simple state, attracting people who yearn for tranquility. Foreigners like it very much, so many shops on the street have Chinese and English signs.
There are also white sand murals painted here for more than 300 years in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which I didn't see at night, but if you can go during the day, you must take a good look.
Lijiang Ancient City Share the food of these two days: pulped tofu, Naxi barbecue, stir-fried water-based poplar flowers, locust flower chai eggs 
Lijiang Ancient City Rice noodles, steam pot chicken, mushroom soup pot, Lijiang salmon? Day12: Lugu Lake (2690 meters above sea level)
Set off early in the morning and go to Lugu Lake! Passing through the eighteen bends of Lining, and then all the way to the mountain road, up and down the mountain, I don't know how many mountains I climbed to reach Lugu Lake, it can be imagined that when there is no modern highway, how magical the mystery and isolation of Lugu Lake is!
Lining Eighteen Bend Observation Deck Eighteen bends are the old road of the past, the residents of the village on the mountain still often walk, the right halfway up the mountain is a newly built road, there are few flat bends, the old and new roads will converge at the foot of the mountain, so both roads can be walked. This observation deck was developed by the village and businessmen, so for a fee, 10 yuan, the original construction site of road construction and piling up waste rocks was transformed, and only the observation deck has been repaired, and other facilities are still under construction. There is also an observation deck on the newly built road, which can overlook the eighteen bends from different angles, and the new facilities have not yet been repaired. 
Walk along the Lining Highway, the Jinsha River is under the mountain, and you will have to walk the bridge over the river later. 
A small village on the side of the road taken in the car. 
Lugu Lake Lugu Lake tickets, 35 yuan/person, you can go to the scenic spot for a few days! As long as you don't come out, you don't have to buy tickets anymore. 
Lugu Lake Scenic Area - Observation Deck Enter the gate of the scenic spot and go straight to the observation deck, pat and pat, it's really beautiful! The biggest advantage of this scenic spot is that the car drives into the scenic spot, walks and stops, shoots and stays, in short, it is very comfortable. If the time schedule is reasonable, you must stay here for one night, it is said that the night is very beautiful and the sky is bright.
Lugu Lake It will be almost noon, and the light is not very strong.But the weather here is unpredictable, this day of exposure, cloudiness, rain have all been experienced, and it is still staggered, and there is no regularity, so hats, sunglasses, umbrellas, raincoats, etc., remember to be ready at any time! When you come out of the observation deck, you can turn on the mode of driving around the lake, and you can also rent a battery car to go around the lake. The view B&B by the lake looks good!

Lugu Lake Wharf, Lugu Lake has many large and small wharves, where you can take a pig trough boat to tour the lake, which is the long wooden boat called the pig trough boat.

After May, there are still water-based poplars all over the lake, and the lake is shining with starlight and white flowers, but unfortunately, the sky is not warm enough, only dead branches float in the water, and you can't see it. Take a boat to the center of the lake, and you can directly take the water from the lake to drink. 
Lugu Lake 
Rig Island Rig Island in Lugu Lake, near evening, the lake surface is very quiet. If you think Lugu Lake is mysterious, go to the Mo Folk Museum to take a look, as well as Yang Erche Nam's homestay and museum.It's a pity that it was a little late, so I didn't visit.
Half of Lugu Lake is located in Yunnan, half in Sichuan, but if you want to go north into Tibet, you can only return to Lijiang and then north, so that the road is easy to walk, although Lugu Lake also has a road sign to Daocheng, but the locals rarely walk, because the road conditions are not good, tourists' cars generally can't drive over, and it seems to be close, but it is actually very time-consuming, dispel our idea of taking a shortcut, in fact, even navigation can't derive this shortcut, or obediently return to Lijiang to take the route of Tiger Leaping Gorge - Shangri-La - Daocheng.
In the evening, he returned to Lijiang and stayed in Shuhe Ancient Town.
>In the early morning, I first played with the cat of the innkeeper's house, left from Shuhe Ancient Town, and went to Tiger Leaping Gorge, where there are stories from people to cats, chatting with the innkeeper, understanding the people and stories of Lijiang, and it is also part of the trip. 
You can see the snow-capped mountains along the way 
Tiger Leaping Gorge (Lijiang Section) The path between the mountain walls on the opposite bank is the former ancient tea horse road 
The mountain path on the other side is the former ancient tea horse road Tiger Leaping Gorge (Lijiang Section) is more suitable for parent-child travel, here has been repaired a smooth plank road, the drop from the parking lot to the river is not high, 12 hours is enough, the Shangri-La section of the Tiger Leaping Gorge is suitable for outdoor hiking, whether it is the road or physical strength is more challenging, young people can consider trying, if you travel with the elderly and children, it is recommended to play the Tiger Leaping Gorge in the Lijiang section.
Tiger Leaping Gorge (Lijiang Section) The entrance to the scenic spot 
Tiger Leaping Gorge (Lijiang Section) The turbulent river of Tiger Leaping Gorge is the Jinsha River, in fact, April is still a dry season, and after May enters the rainy season, the river will be more imposing!

It is still early, and before arriving at the ancient city of Dukezong, I went to Songzanlin Temple, which is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province, one of the famous monasteries in Kham District, and the center of Huangjiao in Sichuan and Yunnan. Songzanlin Temple is built on the mountain, shaped like an ancient castle, which is a masterpiece of Tibetan plastic art and is also known as the "Tibetan Art Museum".
There is a Tibetan guy with good Chinese at the gate of the temple to organize a tour for everyone, and explain it to tourists, and will also inform everyone in advance of the taboos of the tour, you cannot wear sunglasses and hats when entering the main hall. You cannot take photos in the main hall, and you can communicate with them at any time if you have any questions. 
The mural at the temple gate is quite good, with bright colors, vivid shapes, smooth lines and exquisite paintings. 
Resplendent building 
The sacred mountain opposite the temple, you can communicate with the tour guide about Meili Snow Mountain, the name of Meili Snow Mountain in Tibetan is very long, I don't remember. It's well worth coming here, leave the details to you to explore for yourself! No matter how much you see, it's better to feel it yourself.
In the evening, we arrived in the ancient city of Dukezong.
The ancient city of Dukezong The ancient city of Dukezong is the best-preserved and largest group of Tibetan dwellings in China, "Dukezong", a Tibetan pronunciation contains two meanings, one is "castle built on stone" and the other is "moonlight city". Later ancient cities were built around the fortress on the top of the mountain. The ancient city of Dukezong is built on the mountain, and the road surface is undulating, which is an important town on the ancient tea horse road and the first stop after the horse gang enters Tibet. The ancient city of Dukezong was built according to the ideal state of Shambhala in the Buddhist scriptures. The ancient city was built on the mountain, the road surface was undulating, it was paved with some old stones over the years, and there were still deep horseshoe prints on the stone road, which was a token left by the horse gang to time.
Dukezong Ancient City In the evening, on the top of Guishan Park in the ancient city of Dukezong, Chaoyang Tower + the world's largest prayer wheel. 
The ancient city of Dukezong The world's largest prayer wheel, about 5 stories high, the cylinder body is pure copper gilded, and the upper end of the tube wall is engraved with relief seals engraved with Manjushri, Puxian, Guanyin, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas, and the lower end is engraved with the Eight Treasures of Buddhism, and the tube also contains a total of 1.24 million mantras, wordless mantras, etc. and 16 tons of various Buddha treasures. There is a ring of handrails under the prayer wheel, which is used by people to push the prayer wheel. In order to turn such a huge prayer tube, everyone needs to work hard at the same time, and every week is equivalent to silently chanting the Buddha's name 1.24 million times, and after three weeks, you can eliminate disasters and pray for blessings, and you can pray for good luck. 
Dukezong Ancient City The streets of the ancient city at night 
The ancient city of Dukezong The accommodation in the ancient city is still very cold at night, and the inns are equipped with electric mattresses, if you want to be warmer, you can let the boss burn the kang for an additional fee. The ancient city of Dukezong is 3,300 meters above sea level, if you come by car, the high reaction will be lighter, don't be too excited on the plateau, don't run and jump, adapt to the night is basically good, you must be well-fed and warm, it will alleviate the high reaction. Half an hour's drive from the ancient city of Dukezong, because the scenic spot is partially open, so the tour time is about half a day, very close.
Pudacuo National Park, not all open, enter the gate and take the bus of the scenic spot, about an hour, arrive at the capital lake and get off, Other areas are not open, only by car, in order to reduce the damage to the environment by tourists and restore to the original environment of the past, so the sub-area is open.

Tourists tour the trails 
The little squirrel in the forest, afraid of being hungry, jumped directly on the person to find food. 
The little squirrel waiting to forage, but unfortunately he didn't bring anything he could eat. However, the scenic spot also recommends not feeding wild animals at will. 
Pudacuo went straight to Daocheng Aden, about 6 hours, the actual local road is relatively familiar, 4 hours is enough, but for safety, follow the navigation, it is already night to arrive at Daocheng, Don't forget to stop the car on the road and look up at the stars in the sky, which is quite shocking.
scenic spot tickets are naturally not cheap, in terms of cost performance, this is really very low, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it must have sufficient physical strength and perseverance to see, so those who want to go must not read more strategies, bring money, food and water, dress warmly, just set off, the strategy is too much, may not have the courage to set off.
Chonggu Temple, behind it is the sacred mountain Xiannairi. The scenic spot is still to do the bus of the scenic spot, feel about two hours, wandering in the mountains, there is a radio explanation on the bus, take you to appreciate the three sacred mountains of Daocheng Aden, the location of the bus is a short-term tour route, the ancient temple, the Pearl Sea line, the long tour continues to transfer to the battery car and get off at the Luorong Cattle Farm.

glacier 
It's about to climb, there is a horse team on the side of the road, which can help you save physical strength and time, the price is expensive, but for friends who have more than enough heart and lack of strength can be considered, after all, it can help you save 1h of physical strength, although the ups and downs of this road seem to be not difficult, but after all, in the high altitude area, I don't dare to speak loudly and pant normally, it is necessary to retain physical strength, but after arriving at the position of the wooden ladder, I can only climb by myself, and it is also the most difficult beginning. 
The mountain road is bumpy, it is difficult to climb 100 meters on the plateau, bring oxygen, wear light and warm clothing, and don't bring a lot of heavy food, bring chocolate, beef jerky and enough water! 
Congratulations here is about to get the sea of milk and the sea of five colors, but the road is not physically strong for at least 40 minutes. It is four hours away from the Luorong Cattle Farm, where the mountain climb began. 
The five-colored sea, the Tibetan name is "Tenzin Tso", because of the refraction of light, the lake surface presents five different colors, located between Xian Nai Ri and Yang Mai Yong, at an altitude of 4,700 meters, The lake is circular and covers an area of 0.58 square kilometers. 
The snow-capped mountains around you 
Milk Sea, Tibetan name "Russian Rongcuo", 4,600 meters above sea level, in the mountain hollow of Yangmaiyong Snow Mountain, in the shape of a scallop, because of the blue snow water in the middle, It is named after a circle of milky white water, which is an ancient glacial lake, shaped like a water droplet, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. At half past four, prepare to go down the mountain, come to Daocheng Aden must know his physical strength, want to play thoroughly, stay in the scenic spot for one night, short-term tour and long-term tour for a day, the elderly and children are not very physically fit to really play the song short-term Chonggu Temple Pearl Sea is enough, if you have a pursuit, you must come to a long-term trip. Friends who come to this scenic spot with average physical condition must do what they can.
However, high reaction really has nothing to do with physical fitness, the big masters and weak girls are likely to be high rebellion, but the children are more adaptable, and there are the gods (many middle-aged and elderly) who carry three or five packs of photographic equipment, I really admire it!
I think the most beautiful season in Daocheng Aden is still after May, I went to this scene in April, or a little more desolate, I went in May and June in spring, I went in September and October in autumn, there are many sunny days, the scenery is naturally beautiful, summer is the rainy season, the mountain roads are muddy and not easy to walk, and the mountains cannot be closed in winter due to heavy snow.

Summary:
1. The most beautiful season in Sichuan, Tibet and Yunnan and Tibet must be summer and autumn!! The advantage of going in spring is that there are fewer people, but you can't see it in the most beautiful season.
2. The 20-day itinerary is still too tight, and most places are not thorough at all, so the planning before the trip is actually not very important (the basic strategy is still necessary, but the time calculation must be generous), and the important thing is to have enough time to flexibly adjust in the itinerary.
