Warmth of Returning at Boxinyunshe: A Bowl of Pear Soup and Countless Details

🌿 Warmth of Returning at Boxinyunshe: A Bowl of Pear Soup and Countless Details 🌙 After a day of exploring, opening the wooden door, under the warm yellow light, you will always hear the phrase: "The pear soup has been ready all along." The warmth of Boxinyunshe is never loud but quietly grows in the details—the delicate handwritten weather note slipped under the door in the morning, the faint woody fragrance drifting in when you open the window, the housekeepers who always appear just as you look up searching for them. They remember your favorite hot tea flavor and softly ask at night, "Are you tired today?" Here, there are no guests and servers, only family reunited after a long time, letting all the travel fatigue melt away in a bowl of gentle pear soup. 🗺️ Strolling through Lijiang Old Town: A Hidden Route to Avoid the Crowds 🚶‍♀️ Besides gazing at the snow-capped mountains, Lijiang Old Town itself is a poetry book worth reading slowly with your footsteps. To avoid the bustling main street, try this quiet route: 🚶 Suggested route: From Boxinyunshe → Stroll to Wuyi Street → Visit the Former Residence of Fang Guoyu → Turn into the depths of Zhongyi Alley → End by sitting on the stone bench beside Baima Longtan Temple. 📖 Highlights along the way: · Wuyi Street: Less noise, more focus from artisans and the aroma of books in cafes. · Former Residence of Fang Guoyu: Step into the old home of the Naxi scholar and listen to the dialogue between wood and history. · Zhongyi Alley: Winding bluestone path, chance encounters with small flowers at the wall corners and cats basking in the sun. · Baima Longtan Temple: Sit on the stone bench by the pond, watch sunlight filtering through ancient trees, as if in another world. 🌄 Photography tips: At dusk, the sunset dyes the eaves a gentle golden color. Shoot alleys or silhouettes against the light at this time; between light and shadow, every silhouette seems to hide an ancient story. 💡 Lijiang Travel Tips 🌸 Recommended seasons: Spring when flowers fill the town, and autumn with high skies and light clouds, both perfect for a slow visit. 🍵 Experience suggestions: · Wake up early once to see the old town waking in the morning mist. · Find a teahouse deep in an alley and listen to Naxi elders tell stories of the past. · If it rains lightly, don’t rush to hide—the old town in the rain has the charm of Jiangnan ink wash paintings. 📦 Packing reminders: A pair of comfortable shoes, a light jacket (for big temperature differences between day and night), a travel notebook, and a heart willing to get lost. ✨ Home is also poetry 🏮 In Lijiang, the most beautiful scenery is not just the mountains and waters, but those warm encounters and returns that touch the heart. The pear soup at Boxinyunshe, a lamp spotted at the alley’s end, the tea the housekeeper remembers—all these subtle warmthes connect a journey no longer rushed. 🌿 May you find in Lijiang not only the scenery but also the self willing to slow down.
