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.

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
