On the ninth day, Li Xiao and his friends decided to stay in Tongli Ancient Town for one more day to experience this place full of historical charm more deeply. In the morning, they strolled through the alleys of the ancient town, feeling the tranquility and peace of the ancient town. "The morning here is so peaceful, as if time has slowed down."

On the 21st day, Li Xiao, Zhang Yue and Huang Xu woke up in the morning light of Shangri-La. With deep attachment to this mysterious land, they prepared to embark on their journey home. But before that, they decided to visit a more secret place - Yubeng Village.

Yubeng Village, a small village at the foot of Meili Snow Mountain, is known as a "paradise on earth". Far away from the hustle and bustle, it maintains the original natural landscape and simple Tibetan lifestyle.

"The village here is so peaceful, as if time has slowed down here." Zhang Yue said as he walked along a country road.

After returning to Lijiang, they chose an inn overlooking the ancient city. They sat quietly on the terrace, sipping Pu'er tea and recalling what they had seen and heard along the way.

"On this trip, we started from Guangdong, headed north all the way to Yunnan. It was truly an unforgettable journey," Li Xiao said with emotion.

"These handicrafts are so exquisite. I can take them back and give them to my family and friends." Zhang Yue said as she selected.

"Yes, these souvenirs not only represent our travel memories, but also represent our cherishment of this experience," Li Xiao added.

As night fell, they ordered a sumptuous Naxi-style dinner at a small restaurant in the ancient city as a farewell dinner for the trip.

"This meal brought a perfect end to our trip," said Huang Xu.

"Although our journey has ended, our story continues. In the future, we will have more places to go and more stories to write," said Li Xiao.

"That's right, let's toast to future travels!" Zhang Yue said, raising his glass.

The three people's cups clinked together, making a crisp sound, like a witness to their friendship, firm and lasting.

As the trip came to an end, they returned to their own lives with full memories and visions of the future. But they knew that the experience of this trip would become one of the most precious treasures in their lives and would be treasured in their hearts forever. (End of this chapter)
