    A nighttime stroll through Lijiang Old Town is a double dose of healing, a blend of light and shadow and vibrant atmosphere. Red lanterns line the stone-paved streets, the Jade River flows gently, reflecting the silhouettes of the Naxi wooden houses. The Dongba script lanterns on Oil-Paper Umbrella Street and Zhenxing Lane offer countless atmospheric photo opportunities. The bonfire dancing at Sifang Street is the most lively, with Naxi grandmothers leading tourists in song and dance, their laughter echoing through the alleys. In the quiet bars around the corners, folk songs mingle with the aroma of plum wine, while electronic music from upbeat bars creates a unique energy. Donning ethnic costumes for a photoshoot near the waterwheel and the stone bridge, the flower-adorned shops and flowing water create stunning backdrops for pictures. Lion Hill's Wangu Tower offers a panoramic view; under the night sky, the old town lights twinkle like stars, both serene and magnificent. Although the bar street is a bit noisy and commercialized, it remains orderly, with volunteers and tourist police readily available to assist. Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for the cobblestone streets, and ask about prices before making purchases to avoid being ripped off. The ancient city at night offers both a lively, bustling atmosphere and a tranquil feeling as you stroll through its alleys, making it a place worth immersing yourself in.

    Hiring a guide for 200 yuan is definitely worth it. The guide will take you on a walk around and will take you to three intangible cultural heritage sites, such as silver jewelry sales, medicinal incense, and tea. You can buy things or not.

    Actually, the walk was quite quick, only two hours, mainly because I didn't take any personal photos. It feels even more beautiful in summer; now only withered lotus leaves remain. The morning air was nice and beautiful. A stroll around was very pleasant. After 9:30, the crowds increase dramatically; there are still quite a few people. It's still worth a visit. Some people like walking on the stone paths, while others find them uncomfortable.

    If you're visiting Lijiang, the Lijiang Ancient Town Scenic Area is an absolute must-see! The atmosphere is captivating from the moment you step inside, making you feel like you've traveled back in time. The large-scale song and dance performances are absolutely stunning, with dazzling lights and shadows on stage, and the actors' superb skills telling ancient legends with every movement. There are also various theme parks and activities that will leave you wanting more. Highly recommended!

    Stepping into Dali Ancient City is like stepping into the Nanzhao Kingdom a thousand years ago. The ancient city walls, weathered and worn, their bricks and stones, eroded by wind and rain, still steadfastly guard the city, witnessing countless rises and falls. Touching these bricks, you can almost feel the hard work of the craftsmen and hear the rolling wheels of history. At the city gates, people come and go, bustling with activity, yet this noise cannot obscure the inherent tranquility and depth of the ancient city; instead, it adds a touch of life, making one yearn to explore further.

    The boutique hotel was quite comfortable and clean. The laundry room was perfect for washing clothes I'd worn for two days, and the charging station was ideal for my car—it was inexpensive, only 1 RMB per kWh. The receptionists were friendly and polite, and even gave me a small gift. The breakfast selection was decent. It's not far from Mangshi Square, about a 15-minute walk. Overall, a good hotel.

    Shuanglang, located on the eastern shore of Erhai Lake, is a major scenic area within the Cangshan-Erhai Scenic Area.

    The show was pretty good. We bought Class A tickets for 360 yuan each and two for 720 yuan. We were seated in the middle. The visuals were fantastic. There were also many foreign audiences who watched the show. It really embodied our national culture through the show. Yunnan Impression is definitely worth seeing when you're in Kunming.
