Dali | Our poetry and distant places are just their daily life. The nightlife in the ancient city of Dali has a unique charm. In the evening, strolling in the ancient city is like traveling to the Kingdom of Dali. Sometimes, I really envy the people here, because the poetry and distant places we yearn for are just their daily life: the snow of Cangshan, the moon of Erhai, the flowers of Shangguan, the wind of Xiaguan, all the worldly noises can be forgotten.

During the trip, record the small moments of happiness in life📸 The old couple taking pictures of each other in the Begonia Sea in Guizhou📷 The little friends playing in the cherry garden in Pingba, Guizhou The cartoon tree house in Shaxi, Dali and the lazy dog lying under the tree house🐶 The Shaxi Chaplin dancing alone in front of the ancient stage in Shaxi, Dali Grandma A'Rui in Shaxi has been sitting outside the shop sewing for ten years The Yujin Bridge in Shaxi under the clear sky The eye-catching moment waiting for the torch festival in Dali Ancient City People sitting under the trees by the Erhai Lake to cool off Or the people returning by the Erhai Lake in the sunset.

Attracted by the six words 'The Hometown of Zhao Ling'er', I came and discovered that Dali actually hides such an underrated little town. Sisters who like quiet ancient towns, don't miss it!!!! I stayed in Weishan for 3 days. There are many interesting little shops in Weishan, suitable for aimless wandering. Once you come, you don't want to leave, time slows down. The streets are lined with various candied fruits, and the air is filled with sweetness. (One day is also enough to enjoy the place.) Stroll through the ancient city during the day, have a cup of tea by the roadside in the afternoon, and in the evening, watch the sunset and the bell tower under the evening glow as pigeons fly by, another leisurely day 🥰 🧳🧳🧳What to visit: 1. Li Meng Book House (Located on the main street of the ancient city, if you want the grandfather to write for you, be sure to come before 3 pm as he goes home to rest after that; prepare cash.) 2. Wood Carving Jia Ma (Jia Ma wood carving printing experience) (These 2 places are very close to each other.) 3. Nanzhao Museum (Learn about the history and culture of Nanzhao) 4. Bù Shì Wù Jí (Weishan cultural and creative products, a must-visit for sisters who like cultural and creative products!!) 5. The Independent Bookstore of the Liberalist (The owner is a guy from Inner Mongolia, great for a happy chat.) There are too many cute and interesting little shops, 18 pictures are not enough to show them all. ☕☕☕What to drink: 1. Xingshan (Near Li Meng Book House, leather workshop + coffee) 2. Fangkong Tea & Coffee 🍜🍜🍜What to eat: (Noodles) Nanzhao Zhu Ji One-Strand Noodles (Generous with ingredients! The soup is fragrant, no delivery, long queue when crowded.) (Noodles) Su Lao San Ancient Noodles (Located in the snack street, note the business hours: closed after noon; if there's a long queue, you can try the delivery platform.) (Stir-fry) Ji Xiang Yuan (🐣 A whole roasted chicken is super fragrant! Mostly locals in the restaurant.) Correction: Ji Xiang Yuan or Ji Xiang Yuan (Stir-fry) Master Kun (Inside the ancient city, popular with tourists, dining under the big tree in the courtyard is a very interesting experience.) I've tried all these places, no disappointments, go for it!! Additionally, there are a few local-recommended places I didn't get a chance to try: Wu Wei Restaurant / Qing Fang Restaurant / Lao Er Rice Shop

Dali Two-Day Tour Guide Originally planned to spend one day on the west side and one day on the east side of the lake, but due to the long distance requiring special forces to travel, and considering that there isn't much difference between the two sides, as both sides of Erhai Lake are beautiful, we ended up spending both days on the west side. ●Day1 Xizhou Ancient Town - Erhai Lake - S Bay - Cai Village Took a taxi to Xizhou Ancient Town. The town is not big, with lots of clothing stores and snacks. Walk straight to the end and turn left to see the wheat fields. Sat for a long time at the Wheat Field Coffee next to it, then strolled around the ancient town for a while, found an electric tricycle for ten yuan to take us to the lakeside, where we each scanned a shared bike to start cycling around Erhai Lake, it's so beautiful! (Many guides will suggest renting an electric bike, but be aware that the electric bikes from outside cannot enter the lakeside, there are also beautiful bicycles with flower baskets, but they must be returned to the original place, so we chose shared bikes, which can be returned anywhere within the Erhai Lake operation area) Day2 Erhai Xin Di Coffee Originally planned to go to the east side of the lake the next day (to places like Shuanglang Ancient Town), but it's really too far! It takes more than an hour by taxi, and even longer by public transport. In the end, we gave up and still chose to stay on the west side, went to the popular Xin Di Coffee, it's really beautiful! And the coffee and desserts taste great, just need to come early, after two o'clock the place gets crowded, almost full. Strolled around Dali Ancient Town at night, it felt very commercial, not much different from other commercial districts, so didn't spend much time there. About Eating: There are many snacks in Dali Ancient Town, I ate a lot of cheap strawberries and blueberries haha Definitely recommend Gold Rose, a small kebab shop, the chicken and beef are so delicious! Tried the wild mushroom hotpot, really, I'm not very used to the taste of mushrooms~ but the soup is very fragrant About Accommodation: Chose a newly opened place, everything in the room is very new, had a great experience About Transportation: Many guides recommend renting electric bikes, mainly because I wanted to ride along the lakeside, so I mostly took taxis, the prices within the west side are okay, just that cycling around Erhai Lake for a long time will make your butt numb~ Warm Tips The wind in Dali is really strong!! Even stronger by the lake! Be sure to do good sun protection and hydration, I put on a face mask every night, and my nose was bleeding every day

Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon - the wind, flowers, snow, and moon of Yunnan Dali, is the poetry and distance that many people yearn for, she is like the legendary paradise, the last utopia in everyone's heart. Are you not satisfied with life, why not go west to Dali; listen to the rain falling into the silent forest, watch the scenery of the distant mountains under the sunset... Dali is mentioned time and time again in various literary works. Like and collect this article, use 3 days to let you feel the wind, flowers, snow, and moon of Dali. 🍀DAY1 Dali Ancient City - Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas - Three Pagodas Reflection Park Dali Ancient City is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, the ancient city has four gates, among which the south gate is the most lively. In the morning, you can stroll around the streets and city gates of Dali. Between the streets and alleys, every household has water and flowers, enjoy the slow life of Dali's literature and art. In the afternoon, go to Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas, the three pagodas can be called the symbol of Dali. Each scenic spot extends from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, those with poor physical strength can take a battery car to visit. Among them, don't miss the Tianlong Pool and Juying Pool at the entrance, both of these places can take pictures of the three pagodas reflection. Of course, the best place to shoot the reflection of the three pagodas is recognized to be in the Three Pagodas Reflection Park outside the scenic area, which can be visited after the scenic area (included in the ticket). The commanding height of Chongsheng Temple Scenic Area is Wanghai Tower, where you can overlook Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas, and also look up at Cangshan Mountain and overlook Erhai Lake. After the visit, return to Dali Ancient City in the evening. Taste snacks in the bar street or night market in the ancient city, and feel the night of Dali. 🌳DAY2 Erhai Lake The circumference of Erhai Lake is about 140 kilometers, there are three ways: chartered/self-driving, cycling, and bus around the lake. Among them, the chartered car is the easiest, cycling is the most tired (not recommended for the whole journey), and the bus around the lake gives people a third choice. Many people recommend Erhai Lake clockwise because it is closer to the lake side. But if you leave the ancient city in the morning, I personally recommend going around the lake counterclockwise, otherwise the photos will be backlit in the afternoon. The main attractions along the coast of Erhai Lake are: Santorini (Ideal State) - Jinsuo Island - Xiaoputuo - Shuanglang Ancient Town - Butterfly Spring - Haishen Ecological Park - Xizhou, etc. ☘️DAY3 Erhai Sunrise + Free Cycling After going around the lake, it is recommended to stay at Longkan Wharf or Caicun. This area is a good place to watch the sunrise of Erhai Lake. Relatively speaking, there are more people watching the sunrise at Longkan Wharf. After the sunrise, you can take a leisurely walk or ride along the Cangshan Erhai Lake, or you can check in at the Fengyang Yicun Village in Dali. Return in the afternoon or take a bus to Lijiang/Kunming. The above is the guide for the three-day tour of Dali. Dali is actually a slow life city. The hurried check-in for 3 days is just a quick taste of her. If you have more time to stay, climb Cangshan, take a boat, visit Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, Dali has many surprises waiting for you to discover.
