Yunnan, China, has always been a place that many people dream of. It has an ecological environment of green mountains and green waters, folk customs of Chinese ethnic minorities, a slow and comfortable pace of life, and most importantly, it has “the most Yunnan-style beautiful life”.
Colorful Yunnan, Mysterious Ancient Yunnan
Yunnan was once an important place of the Southern Silk Road and the birthplace of the ancient tea-horse road. It has a profound cultural and historical foundation. Kunming, the provincial capital, is also a world-famous “Spring City and Flower Capital”. It is like spring all the year round and flowers always bloom. The city alone has a history of 2,200 years, while Dianchi Lake, a symbol of Kunming, has a history of 3,000 years of civilization.
Dianchi Lake is the largest plateau lake in Kunming and the sixth largest freshwater lake in China. In the history of Dianchi Lake, there is an ancient civilization that mysteriously disappeared-the ancient Yunnan Kingdom. There are few historical documents in ancient times, and it is impossible to confirm the authenticity of its existence. It was not until World War II that people found hundreds of bronzes in Dianchi Lake, which confirmed that the ancient Yunnan Kingdom once existed.
However, these discovered bronze antiquities can only prove the existence of the ancient Yunnan Kingdom, but they can’t tell us more stories. Up to now, it is still a mystery why the ancient Yunnan Kingdom disappeared. Just like the Mayan civilization, it is full of mystery.
It coincided with this participation in the “Five Hundred Miles Music Festival” and “Baiping Space” held in Colorful Yunnan Ancient Yunnan City, which made me lucky enough to walk into a mysterious place-Colorful Yunnan Ancient Yunnan City, and I also felt the best life in Yunnan in one stop, and realized the true charm of Colorful Yunnan Ancient Yunnan City.
The Dianchi Lake at the foot of Liangwang Mountain is the most beautiful look of life
“Colorful Yunnan Ancient Yunnan City” is located in Jinning District, Kunming. It is backed by Liangwang Mountain and adjacent to Dianchi Lake, and is in the capital of the disappeared ancient Yunnan kingdom. This profound historical and cultural heritage and excellent ecological environment make a beautiful and rich life unfold here, realizing people’s greatest expectation for a better life.
Being able to rely on old age is a beautiful life
In the vibrant town of ancient Yunnan, there is a comfortable living environment. The green ecology around Dianchi Lake provides fresh air and beautiful scenery. Flowers in all seasons make it full of vitality. Under the small bridges and flowing water, it is a slow life.
In the small town, there are well-equipped apartments for the aged, and the built university for the elderly provides a rich daily life for the elderly. There are also community rehabilitation hospitals for the aged, commercial centers and churches in Fengqing Ancient Town, which provide people with all convenient living conditions.
Walking in it, I suddenly remembered a sentence I had read, “What really points to a better life is a life for the elderly.” Looking at everything designed here for aged care services, I realized the correctness of this sentence. Such a vibrant town in ancient Yunnan really gives a person the best sense of security after getting old.
The most thoughtful thing is that there is a food court near the town. I thought that the food court in Yunnan was probably the specialty of Yunnan, but I thought it simply.
In the huge food court, in addition to Yunnan food, there are fried buns, Regan Noodles, Hainan chicken rice and other food from all over China. Presumably, these local food are designed to satisfy the various tastes of people and tourists living here.
Of course, when you go to Yunnan, how can you miss the cross-bridge rice noodles?
A restaurant named “Suyue Zhai” in the food court is all vegetarian dishes. The dishes are not only rich and exquisite, but also very delicious. You can taste the taste of meat. For a community, it can be said that it is very thoughtful. Isn’t that the case for a better life? Whatever you want to eat, you have what you want.
It’s a beautiful life with music
You shouldn’t miss music festivals when traveling, and a good life is inseparable from music. This time, when I came to the colorful Yunnan ancient Yunnan city, what attracted me most was the “Five Hundred Miles Music Festival”.
“Five Hundred Miles Music Festival” is a local music festival held in Yunnan for 10 years. “Five Hundred Miles” represents Dianchi Lake, which has the meaning of openness, convergence and freedom. The holding of the music festival has also promoted the publicity of ecological protection of Dianchi Lake. It is a kind of feeling, a big gathering and a humanistic spirit that loves life and nature.
Every music festival invites many singers we know and love. This year, Dongye Song, Pu Shu and Zhao Lei, who I like, are invited. Their songs hide too many marks of our youth, which are companions to eliminate loneliness and resonance deep into the bone marrow.
When Pu Shu stood on the stage and sang those familiar songs, my youthful memories beat in the notes. It was “Life Like Summer Flowers”, a single cycle in midsummer night, which was the confusion and confusion of growing up year after year, and the impulse to see this colorful world. At this moment, I have returned from running away, and Pu Shu is still Pu Shu, standing on the stage quietly letting those flowers bloom.
When Dongye Song sang “Let me look at you again, from south to north”, I was hit and secretly shed tears. I was moved by the changes brought about by all the experiences and our lost youth. Yes, let’s look at each other more, because we won’t be young forever, but fortunately, we can always be on the road and have tears in our eyes forever!
Zhao Lei sang “Chengdu” on the stage, and countless people in the audience joined along. I suddenly felt that what he sang was not a song, but our similar emotional resonance, telling the story of our swinging in ideals and persisting in life. Those faint lyrics, like flying leaves, flew around everyone’s hearts at the scene and then landed, turning into dirt, covering up our lost lover and youth.
This year’s “Five Hundred Miles Music Festival” also invited many singers and orchestras, including Yunnan Shengqi, the youngest group that attracted a lot of attention from Yunnan Hiphop, Zoo Nail House, a maverick independent band, Green Crow, a hard rock band that shine on you is better than blue, etc., which brought passion, freedom and infinite movement to the music festival.
The music festival lasted for two days, and Edison Chen was the finale of the last day.
The “Five Hundred Miles Music Festival” is too wonderful. The sunshine of Yunnan and the beautiful environment of ancient Yunnan add a lot of color to the music festival. There are also many personalized experiences and services on the spot, including free makeup, wishing wall and fun games. Everyone has a strong sense of participation, the on-site organization is also very orderly, and there are DJs to create an atmosphere, so you really don’t get tired from morning till night.
This is a music festival, but also a grand outdoor party. In the stands, there is art that makes people cry in their eyes. Looking around, there are joyful scenery. What you listen to is youth, what you look at is the present, there are stories from the past, and there are beauty experienced in the present. This is a beautiful life.
It’s a beautiful life with a story
The joy of the music festival is not over yet, and the dreamy and cool scene of Baiping Space is already lively.
Baiping Space, which represents the infinite possibilities of life aesthetics in colorful Yunnan and ancient Yunnan famous city, is close to the wetland Yixin Garden. It is a 100-meter-long street with neon lights. When the lights are on, it is like a block in Hong Kong movies in the 1990 s, creating a strange and wonderful atmosphere.
There is resonance to find, it is a beautiful life
Lonely Planet Market, a famous city in ancient Yunnan, is the best place for people to share.
There are mobile art, food activities, field receptions, and handicraft workshops, where people display their crafts and experience all kinds of art productions. Every week, owners will organize exchange and sharing meetings to share their skills and summarized experiences.
There is also an exhibition of works by Lonely Planet. In these photographs, we can see the face of the world and exchange the beauty scattered all over the place.
Although the market is called Lonely Planet Market, it is not a lonely place. People look for resonance here and get resonance. It is a warm and considerate place, and it is a place for people to communicate spiritually and emotionally, allowing people to return to the most authentic living state and find the warmest relationship.
Moreover, the money from the sale of some handmade works here will be given to those in need and dedicated to the public welfare. Entering the market is a short journey to cultivate your body and mind.
A good life is a return to something
The trip to the colorful Yunnan ancient Yunnan city, the excellent environment and facilities of the vibrant town, the carnival and release of the music festival, the expression and confidence of Baiping Space, and the warmth and communication of Lonely Planet Market, all of these experiences made me feel the charm of “Yunnan-style beautiful life”, and they all pointed to one word-“returning”.
Body, there is a place to put; Heart, there is a place to put; Spirit, where it is placed, is a beautiful life. Our bodies are placed in such a beautiful environment, our hearts have found their belonging in moving music, and our souls have gained peace in stories and sharing. What can be better than these?
The famous city of ancient Yunnan has memories of the past, respect for the present and consideration for the future. Let’s look for strength in the memories of the past, pursue happiness in the present time, and gain a sense of security in the design of the future. The colorful famous city of ancient Yunnan has given tourists more than basic travel enjoyment. It allows us to outline the beautiful appearance of life, and it is a one-stop tourist destination that can’t be missed.
This is probably the core of attracting tourists in Yunnan. We can always find our physical and mental place here and get the comfort of our soul. This is the charm of Yunnan, which can give people a deep sense of belonging. In the busy and anxious era, we can find a quiet place and put a tired and hurt heart.
