Lijiang, no romantic encounters, just endless local specialties to buy

Lijiang, no romantic encounters, just endless local specialties to buy. When I first arrived in Lijiang, I felt the clouds were low, the wind was strong, the sky was blue, and the ultraviolet rays from the sunshine were intense. I went there with my child, who spent the whole day playing with a roommate in the hotel. I wandered around the entire ancient town by myself. The night market barbecue at Zhongyi Market is not bad, it tastes good. After eating it, I got blisters and ulcers in my mouth, but it's okay, I was prepared with medicine. I bought flower cakes for my family, two yuan each, not expensive and not too bad, quite tasty when hungry. In Zhongyi vegetable market, I bought mangosteens for 26 yuan per half kilogram, very hard, felt unripe. I asked if there were any softer ones, but the vendor was extremely rude, making fun of me (saying others like it hard, you just have to like it soft, followed by a burst of laughter from a group of men), so I just walked away. Buying blueberries, I chose the biggest ones, and after weighing, it was eighty yuan. I asked if I could try one for free, the seller said they guarantee it's sweet but can't give any for free, even one would cost one or two mao. The last pitfall: We stayed in a hotel inside the Lijiang ancient town, the accommodation cost over seven hundred, which is considered high-end. The owner would use a tricycle to help us transport our luggage because the ancient town is all stone roads, and dragging suitcases by ourselves would probably ruin the wheels. When leaving, I asked the owner to transport the luggage and informed him that I needed to go to the north gate of Dayan Huaxiang to take the bus directly to the airport, 20 yuan per person. The owner told me that luggage can be taken to the south gate, where there are also buses. In the end, my luggage was transported to the south gate along with others', only to find out that there was no airport shuttle bus at the south gate at all. I had to go to the north gate of Dayan Huaxiang with my child, walking 1.4KM, and also wasted half an hour, so I ended up taking a taxi to Lijiang Airport. 88 yuan. After the security check, I just caught up with the boarding. I want to tell my friends, if you don't need to check in luggage, you can directly handle check-in online, and use the QR code on your mobile phone as a boarding pass to board the plane. Both the APP and the 'Travel Sky' are very accurate.
