打卡●丽江白沙古镇[过程]游玩建议：丽江白沙古镇，大研古镇出发大概有半个小时到五十分钟的一个车程。十多年前曾经去过一次白沙古镇。再次来到古镇，已经是十三年以后。之前是从束河古镇到白沙古镇，那个时候是一群朋友骑着自行车，好像也不是很远的距离。当时的白沙古镇相对比较原始，对比较有民族特色，没有那个完全商业化。十三年后再次来白沙古镇，完全不一样。古镇大街商业开发非常完善，人人头人头攒动，人也非常多。不管是白天还是傍晚，人都非常多，真的出乎我的意料。从白沙古镇牌坊到进去，其实白沙古镇并不是很大，游玩建议一到两个小时足矣。[圆图钉]交通停车：我们是从束河古镇打车到白沙古镇的，大概有二三十分钟的时间，因为路上单时比较堵车。好像是有公交车。如果时间充足的话，可以住在白沙古镇，可以游玩一到两天，其实也挺好的。

出了束河，打车去白沙古镇，二十分钟的车程，听了一路司机关于人多车堵的抱怨，进了古镇果不其然人潮湧动，嘈杂，混乱，尘土飞扬，电动车窜来窜去，小县城集市即视感。躲开摩肩接踵的主街，钻入旁边的小胡同里，发现了很多纳西族的老房子，小小院子很是安静，与吵闹的大街相比，一幅岁月静好的模样。出了小院，走到一处咖啡馆，上了三层是一个很大的观景台，运眺蓝天白云下群山环抱，可惜正逢盛夏，山上已无积雪，近处是层层叠叠的古街房顶，不登临此处，白沙算白来了。告别白沙镇，镇里确实存在很多古旧的院子和老屋，但管理上的混乱确是三个古镇中最突出的，希望下次来的时候，白沙古镇会变得更好。

历史悠久:白沙古镇是纳西族的古都,曾是丽江政治、经济、商贸和文化的中心早在唐朝时期,南诏王封玉龙雪山为“北岳”时,木氏祖先(那时还是丽江王)就开始在这里修建了白沙街和北岳庙文化底蕴深厚:白沙古镇是纳西族东巴文化的发祥地,也是“世界记忆遗产”东巴古籍文献的重要诞生地之一这里的每一砖一瓦都承载着厚重的历史和文化,让人仿佛穿越回了千年前的纳西古国
