The sound of rain pattering outside the window warms my heart

🌧️On a rainy day in Lijiang at Boxin Yun She, a bowl of peach gum and snow swallow porridge warmed my entire journey The sound of rain pattering outside the window warms my heart 💦I still remember the time I came to Lijiang during a gentle drizzle and cool weather. However, the little hosts at Boxin Yun She in Lijiang instantly dispelled the gloom of the rainy day with their super warm service. 🌧️On rainy days, they cooked delicious peach gum and snow swallow porridge for us and served a special hot drink. The thoughtful taste of that apple latte is unforgettable to this day. 🏡On rainy days in Lijiang, there’s no need to rush out in the rain; Boxin Yun She itself is a scenic spot. Sitting on the sofa under the eaves, watching the raindrops form lines, enjoying leisure and tranquility, and savoring a peaceful state of mind. Or hiding in a cozy and comfortable room, lying on a bed decorated with hanging curtains, listening to the rain hitting the traditional Naxi roof. 🎭If the rain eases a bit, why not visit Sifang Street to experience the immersive performance "A Day in the Ancient Town"? Every day at 4 PM, this lively ancient town “reality show” starts on time. Naxi women carry water buckets weaving through narrow alleys, men leisurely walk their birds, as if traveling back to an era full of life’s charm. You might even have a Naxi lady tie a colorful thread symbolizing happiness and good fortune on your wrist or taste wedding candies handed out by “newlyweds.” 🚶♀️On rainy days, there are usually fewer tourists in Lijiang Ancient Town, making it a perfect time to stroll through the ancient alleys. Holding an umbrella, walking on the wet cobblestone streets, watching the bougainvillea bloom passionately in the rain, and the Dongba script on the walls looks even more mysterious. 🧥Of course, here are some small tips for traveling on rainy days: · Carry rain gear and wear non-slip shoes · Bring a light jacket, as Lijiang’s rainy weather can be a bit cool · If the rain is heavy, consider visiting museums or cultural experience centers inside the ancient town 🌨️Actually, Lijiang’s rainy season is not all regrets: there are fewer tourists, and accommodation prices are more affordable. More importantly, you get to see a different kind of beauty in this ancient town—the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain shrouded in mist, the ancient streets quieter and more poetic. 🌿Back at Boxin Yun She, why not go up to the rooftop on the fourth floor and sit on the mirrored surface to overlook the dense rooftops of Lijiang Ancient Town after the rain. The clouds are low, the heart is calm. Warm lights gradually turn on, paired with the rain-washed blue sky, like a watercolor painting. 🍵At night, the host might bring you hot milk or sweet porridge, letting you feel meticulous care on a chilly night. In your room, fill a basin with warm water, sprinkle rose petals, listen to the rain, and take a bath—the fatigue of travel instantly melts away. 💝That year’s rainy season in Lijiang, I didn’t see the full view of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, nor did I capture the ancient town under blue skies and white clouds. But I gained something more precious—in that home-like place called Boxin Yun She, I was surrounded by warmth and touched deeply. 🌈So, don’t be afraid of the rain in Lijiang. Because there is always a place where someone prepares hot porridge, lights warm lamps, and waits for you to come home.
