The moonlight is now spreading over the back of the Naxi mythical beast, the Wamao cat

🌿【Boxin Yun She · Healing Time】The most poetic dwelling in Lijiang Old Town🌿 💫 Push open the carved wooden door of Boxin Yun She, and it feels like stepping into a dream awakened by sunlight. The golden afternoon light cascades down from the Naxi flying eaves, the bluestone courtyard shatters into shimmering patches of light, and bougainvillea hangs purple-red tassels between white walls and black tiles✨ 🌤️ The second-floor viewing balcony is your exclusive sunlight theater! The lazy sofa sinks into cloud-like softness, letting the sunlight gently tread on your back like a kitten’s paws. On the small wooden table nearby, a ceramic pot is brewing snow mountain rose tea, the steam carrying floral fragrance dancing a waltz in the light and shadow🌼 📖 Open the yellowed pages of "The Chronicles of the Mu Mansion," and the sound of horse hooves from six hundred years ago drifts from the wooden balcony. When the Mu Tusi and Xu Xiake brewed snow and discussed poetry, a glance could see the ancient city’s blue tiles rolling toward distant Lion Mountain. Words and scenery complete a remote high-five at this moment📚 🌬️ Even the breath here carries poetry! The melting snow breeze from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain passes through the crabapple tree tops, carrying the scent of freshly made Dongba paper from the neighboring workshop. Whenever the wind chimes tinkle, a cloud pauses in the blue sky to read with you the legends of the Tusi dynasty🎐 🍵 Life’s pace here automatically slows to half speed: •07:00 Wake up to birdsong and watch the dawn gild the rooftops 🐦 •10:00 Learn to make fresh flower cakes with a Naxi mother 🌹 •15:00 Drink snow tea under the century-old cypress at Wenchang Palace 🍃 •19:30 Wrap yourself in a shawl and wait for the Milky Way to descend on the ancient city at Wangu Tower 🌌 🚶‍♀️【Three-Day Stroll Guide】 🎯Day 1: •Early morning visit to the Three-Eyed Well to see locals fetching water and washing clothes 👣 •Afternoon at Fang Guoyu’s former residence listening to Naxi ancient music fossils 🎵 •Night tour of the Mu Mansion light show, traveling back to the Ming Dynasty’s Southwest Forbidden City 🏯 🎯 Day 2: •Early market at Zhongyi Market, try chicken bean jelly 🍲 •Find the tricolor koi at Baima Longtan Temple and make a wish 💫 •Grab a window seat on the second floor of the Beeswax Café to watch clouds drift over Lion Mountain ☁️ 🎯 Day 3: •Experience handmade tie-dye in Shuhe Ancient Town and create a blue souvenir 🎨 •Horseback ride at the foot of the snow mountain, crossing the old Tea Horse Road 🐎 •Return to the old town to shoot night portraits in the oil-paper umbrella alley 📸 💡 Helpful Tips: 🌙 Look up at night! The ancient town has little light pollution, and you can often see the Milky Way spanning the sky 🍄 Bring a light jacket during the rainy season; the weather changes faster than flipping a page 👣 Don’t panic if you get lost; follow the sound of flowing water to find your way out 🎑 There’s a bonfire dance at Sifang Street every Wednesday—boldly join the dance troupe 🌺 When dusk dyes the ancient town blue, the red lanterns of Boxin Yun She light up one by one. Wrap the sun-soaked shawl around you, hold the book you’re tired of reading, walk down the wooden stairs, and suddenly understand—the so-called journey is just finding a place where your soul can bask in the sun🎑 ✨ The moonlight is now spreading over the back of the Naxi mythical beast, the Wamao cat, and you have just written the Nth reason for falling in love with Lijiang in the notebook at Boxin Yun She✨
