The first leg of the journey overlaps with the second leg on December 9. At 2 p.m., he and the master sent the car to the ancient city of Dali. After staying at the Yifangda Boutique Hotel, they took a hot bath, brewed a cup of green tea, and easily measured the streets of the ancient city and quietly enjoyed your own slow living time.
I have traveled to the ancient city of Dali many times, and this winter trip to Yunnan takes Dali as the axis, with two in and out. "Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon" have long been familiar. In comparison, the ancient town of Xizhou, Jinsuo Island, tourism photography, red wine PARTY and osprey performances on yachts are quite innovative, with four or five attractions a day., compact but not tense.

At 9 o'clock in the morning on the 10th, Liangzi from the local agency drove us to Huadian Spring in a small car to join Agui, the tour guide from Lijiang, and six new group members. They are two young couples from Chongqing and Henan, as well as a master's degree student from Wuhan University and her close friend. Eight tourists have two routes, with a difference of one attraction. After merging, it is equivalent to adding one attraction each, which is exactly two and a half days together.

A Gui is a young man from the Naxi ethnic group in the mountainous area. After graduating from primary school, he grazed in the mountains. With the support of his mother, he walked out of the mountains and first drove for a travel agency. Later, he obtained a tour guide certificate through self-study. We were the 15th group he led. A Gui is straightforward and honest, treats guests humbly and politely, and treats work in awe and seriousness. He travels with him, alternating singing and laughter, and peace of mind and comfort coexist.

The first attraction is Butterfly Spring. In the east of Cangshan Mountain and west of Erhai Lake, there is a square spring pool under Yunnong Peak. The spring water springs out of the rocks and gathers into a pool that is crystal clear and crystal clear. Surrounded by mountains and plains of pine, cypress, palm trees, tea trees, rhododendrons and bamboo trees, with lush green peaks. Butterfly Spring is like a transparent gem inlaid in the shade. There are two ancient acacia trees by the pool. The branches are luxuriant and cover the pool. Every early summer, the trees are in full bloom, and the small pale yellow flowers give off bursts of fragrance, welcoming thousands of butterflies dancing, as big as a palm and as small as a copper coin. Some even have their beards hooked and feet, and each end is held together. They hang in strings from the trees to the surface of the spring. They are colorful and spectacular.

Butterfly Spring is widely known for its Butterfly Festival and the movie "Five Golden Flowers". Focusing on legends and the love story of the Bai people, the scenic area has a Spring Guanting Pavilion, Butterfly Hall, Five Dragon Pond, Dressing Pool and Lover Lake. Every year on April 15th of the lunar calendar, young people of the Bai nationality talk about love in Huadi Spring. It is the flowering season. Colorful butterflies fly by the spring, and Chinese and foreign tourists gather, making the occasion unprecedented.

Get out of Butterfly Spring and go straight to Xizhou Ancient Town. This is one of the birthplaces of Dali culture. It was already a place where the Bai people lived as early as when Liuzhao and Heman coexist. It was originally a city of Dali Heman. Shi Wanshou of the Sui Dynasty once stationed troops here, so it was called "Shicheng" or "Shizhen". The old capital of Nanzhao in the Tang Dynasty was also built here. It was called Dali City at that time. It was one of the "Ten Eyes" of the Nanzhao period and the hometown of the five golden flowers of the movie.

The ancient town is centered on Sifang Street and radiates in all directions. There are the most preserved and best Bai residential buildings in the town. Zhengyi Gate is the west gate of Xizhou Ancient Town. From here, you can enter the old street of the ancient town. There are not many tourists in the ancient town. Walking through it, you can see the rich Bai customs everywhere. There are houses with white walls, black tiles and high gate buildings, A Peng wearing a white double-placket, golden flowers with beautiful flowers and snow, and tie-dyed cloth that can be seen everywhere. The rhymes and patterns change mysteriously, revealing the beauty of the town and the agility of simplicity.

The Bai folk houses and the Central Plains folk houses not only have architectural inheritance, but also have their own obvious national style. From the appearance point of view, the two most common layouts of "three squares and one light wall" and "four in five courtyards" are, with one floor for people and the second floor for storage. The Bai people pay great attention to face and are willing to spend a lot of money and effort on the construction of gate buildings. They generally adopt the shape of a palace and a series of cornices, and then use clay sculptures, wood carvings, colored paintings, stone carvings, convex flowers and blue bricks, etc. to form a rich and colorful three-dimensional pattern. It is magnificent, simple and generous. Among the Bai folk houses in Dali, Xizhou Gate Tower is the best.

Coming out of Xizhou Ancient Town, 8 people sat around and tasted the Dali Flower Banquet of 10 dishes and 1 soup. It was full of color, aroma and delicious. It was the best tourist meal we had for the second leg of the trip. In the afternoon, our original plan was to take a FRP yacht, ride the Erhai Lake, visit the Jinsuo Island Cave for sightseeing, and watch song and dance and osprey performances. Due to the competition of individual tourists, tourism photography projects were temporarily added. It is a fashion to follow the beat of young people and experience Internet celebrity projects.

After lunch, I went directly to the Travel Photography Company and transferred to two colored open-top off-road vehicles to travel and photograph the fields, snowy mountains and Erhai Lake. The young group members stood by the door for a while, sat in front of the car for a while, and looked up at the front of the car for a while, posing various positions to freeze the handsome and graceful moments. Looking at them competing and full of energy, it seemed that our hearts were young. My wife walked forward and took many photos under the guidance of the photographer.

The mood of traveling photography has not yet calmed down, but the red wine parties on the Erhai Lake are rising again. Outside, the yacht breaks the waves against the wind and is full of energy; inside, red wine is poured lightly and slowly, listening to the sound of the waves, and emptying the tired body and mind. From landing on the island to leaving the island, it surrounds Jinsuo Island a whole circle. After arriving on the island, under the guidance of the Bai ethnic flower, we first watched the charming Jinsuo Sea Vegetable Flower Song and Dance Performance, and then visited the strange and constant temperature cave cave to interact with the cormorant, the osprey, who is good at diving and fishing.

Jinsuo Island is the largest island on the Erhai Lake. It was called Zhongliu Island in Nanzhao times. It is high in the north and south and low in the middle. When viewed from the sky, it looks like a woven shuttle. Legend has it that a long time ago, the fairy who was good at weaving colorful brocade in the sky was intoxicated by the charming natural scenery of the Erhai Lake and moved by the kind and simple Bai fishermen. She threw her beloved weaving shuttle to the Erhai Lake and gave it to the Bai fishermen, turning it into Jinsuo Island and Yinsuo Island, becoming a beautiful scenery on earth. Jinsuo Island is an ancient Bai fishing village with a history of thousands of years. It is quiet and beautiful, has a pleasant climate, evergreen flowers and trees all year round, and birds sing happily all day long. It is the best place to view the Erhai Lake. Standing by the sea, blowing the sea breeze, watching the sunset, and counting the stars is the most pleasant thing. (Winter Travel Yunnan Diary 10 2020.11.28 - 12.23 Tour 1.12 was written in Zhuhai)
