See 13 peaks rising and falling like a silver dragon flying in the sky. It is said that a couple held a wedding at the foot of the snow mountain, but unexpectedly encountered an avalanche, like white fireworks blooming for the couple. The photographer jokingly called this an extremely rare wedding background, and the couple smiled and said: This is the embodiment of loving each other to the point of the mountains collapsing and the earth cracking! Come to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and feel the power of love in the world of snow! 🏰Dali Ancient City: There are many snacks 🍹, the nightlife is lively 🚫, and the scenery is charming. There is a mathematical genius grandma who can’t even figure out addition and subtraction. She calculates so dizzyingly that she often calculates the price backwards, and can even turn the transaction into a comedy show. Everyone watching laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt. The unscrupulous grandma adds to the urban and rural atmosphere of Dali Ancient City. Come to Dali Ancient City, laugh🤣 with the unscrupulous grandma, and enjoy the nightlife together! 🏞️Lijiang Ancient City: This ancient city is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Stroll through the stone alleys, admire the small bridges and flowing water, and enjoy a panoramic view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. Magnificent scenery: After the snow, the ancient city is like a white ink painting, quiet and mysterious. The scenery is as beautiful as a poem, as if entering another world. Come to Lijiang Ancient City, experience the beauty after the snow, and immerse yourself in a poetic life! -------- 🎒 Pre-trip Essentials: 🧥First of all, don't forget to pack appropriate clothes. Since the weather in Lijiang in March is relatively cool, with a daytime temperature of only 10-17 degrees Celsius, remember to bring some thick clothes, a light and thin down jacket and a few thermal underwear are also needed. At night, the temperature may drop below zero, and you will need a thick coat. 🕶Secondly, accessories. Because Yunnan is located on a plateau, strong sunlight and ultraviolet rays must be paid attention to. Therefore, preparing a sun hat, UV-resistant sunglasses and sunscreen are your protective artifacts. 🎒Third, outdoor equipment. If you plan to hike or trek, a good pair of shoes is key to avoiding blisters and going comfortably. Also, remember to bring a versatile Swiss multi-functional knife for outdoor use, which is small and practical. 📝Finally, documents. Don't forget to bring your documents. ID card, passport, driver's license, etc. are based on individual needs. For tourists from other places, hotels or attractions may need to check your documents to ensure the smooth progress of your trip. -------- End your exploration of Lijiang, but the story of travel never stops. Remember to update me, let us chase more exciting things together! What you meet on the road is the scenery🌈
