Autumn has entered in Dali in late August, but apart from a slight change in temperature, there seems to be not much trace of autumn.

Dali, Yunnan is still what you know. The lazy life of pastoral songs still continues in Dali. No matter how the seasons change in other places, Dali remains the same.

Many people love Dali as calm and indifferent. In addition to the leisurely life in Dali, even in autumn, Dali's mountains and rivers do not seem to have changed much, and they have remained as beautiful as a day for decades.

In addition to its leisurely life, the most attractive thing about Dali is probably the intoxicating mountains and rivers.

In August, let's express our love to Dali Mountains and Waters!

Take a boat trip to the Erhai Lake, watch the fog cover the mountains of the Cangshan Mountains, the water of the Erhai Lake gently sway, visit the Butterfly Spring, and feel the coolness and joy of the "coastal" hidden in Dali!

Taking a cruise ship to the Erhai Lake is the best aid to taste the scenery of Dali. The comfortable and smooth cruise ship takes more than three hours to set sail from Dali Port to disembark at Taoyuan Wharf.

Enjoy the scenery of Dali mountains and rivers, starting from boarding the boat!

The strong wind brought a little coolness, which messed up the neat hair and stirred the heart of anticipation for the journey. As the boat became farther and farther away from the dock, the tall buildings gradually became smaller and blurred. The wide Erhai Lake came into view, and the Erhai Lake Tour officially began.

In the morning, the breeze was not dry and the sun was lazy. The clear Erhai Lake was sprinkled with stars, and the sparkling water was filled with water waves from cruise ships.

The open space on each floor of the cruise ship is filled with random people shuttling around. They look at the water and mountains, and the wind blows from the bow. Being on a cruise ship, you can fully see the majestic momentum of Peak 19 of Cangshan Mountain, the Bai houses on the Erhai Lake at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, and the vastness of the Erhai Lake.

The boat was heading north from Dali Port in the south. During the boat's voyage, an island shaped like a turtle aroused discussions among friends around her. Nanzhao Style Island was vaguely visible in the contentious conversation.

The boat sailed towards it and gradually approached. Nanzhao Style Island, shaped like a leaf boat, appeared. The entire island was lush and lush under the nourishment of rain, exuding a vibrant atmosphere.

Standing on the boat and looking at Nanzhao Style Island, all the buildings on the island were "gone", leaving only lush woods, an exposed corner of Nanzhao Palace and a clearly visible dock on the shore.

The cruise ship slowly approached the dock, docked, disembarked, shuttled through Nanzhao Style Island, and wandered along the island.

In every corner of Nanzhao Style Island, countless people lingered among the solid-color tables on the comprehensive beach connected to the water's edge, just to take a personal photo in a literary style.

Flowers bloom right next to the rocky path, the shade of the trees blocks the sun, and the reefs become grotesque under the impact of the water.

The statue in front of the wide main square is tall and powerful, solemn and lifelike. Tourists stop to carefully observe every detail.

There are also many people taking photos and checking in on the Shayimu carvings next to the dock. They may not know the connection between the legend of Shayimu and Dali, but the exquisite shape still attracts their attention.

Traveling through every attraction on the island, I experienced the long-standing culture and the characteristic ethnic culture belonging to Dali, the natural scenery of the island, and the beauty of the architecture. The time spent visiting Nanzhao customs also passed by minute.

Walking on the sailing time and returning to the boat, the boat passed by Nanzhao Style Island and headed for the finish line...

The cruise ship drove straight towards the towering Cangshan Mountain and faced it directly. Its momentum and steepness were even more shocking. The ravines are crisscrossed and stretched neatly, and the green mountains are picturesque.

Disembark the boat amid the farewell sound and start the next journey!

Butterfly Spring is close to the foot of Cangshan Mountain and is about 1.5 kilometers away from the cruise ship docking terminal. It can be walked or taken by car around.

Arriving at Butterfly Spring, we are getting closer and closer to the gate, and the coolness is getting more and more complete. The verdant trees block most of the sunshine, leaving only spots of light.

After walking through the gate and entering the Huadian Spring, the coolness and tranquility instantly soothe the restlessness of the heart due to the hot weather.

The long bamboo forest avenue is cool and quiet, releasing endless coolness, making people stop and don't want to leave.

Walking up the steps, I saw that the three words "Butterfly Spring" had reached the heart of the scenic area. I continued to walk forward, with pavilions and statues scattered everywhere.

The spring water is ding-dong, the stream is gurgling, the lake is calm, the fish are flying on the shallow bottom, the geese are swimming leisurely, the sky is clear, the mountains are clear and majestic, giving a beautiful mountain scenery.

Listen to the loud singing of Jinhua and A Peng beside Butterfly Spring, watch the cheerful dance, go to see the still spring water, go to Wulong Pond to feel the coolness of the mountain spring water with your hands, and feel the coolness of the heart.

Go to the Butterfly Spring Pavilion at Valentine's Lake to experience the splendor and shock left behind by life and see the huge butterfly family.

Stroll to the water stage at Lovers Lake to watch a wonderful "Bai folk performance", follow the cheerful music, and feel the enthusiasm of the Bai people.

Tourists in twos and threes sit quietly by the lake waiting for the performance to start, or take a look at the swimming fish, or entertain the "elite" geese.

Go to the Butterfly World to see the flying and circling colorful butterflies, find the "dead leaf butterflies" that melt with the fallen leaves, and experience the "natural scene" of butterfly life.

Visiting the "slow pace" of Huadi Spring is a prerequisite for realizing its charm. Stroll slowly in Huadi Spring, follow the tree-lined path, and follow the leisurely fish schools all the way forward. No matter which corner you are in, slow down, you will find that your body and mind are in the best state of relaxation!

Dali in August is gradually ushering in excitement, just waiting for you to watch!

Whether it is the vast Erhai Lake, the lush Cangshan Mountain; the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple with a profound sense of history; or the bustling ancient city, it has gradually become bustling from the previous cold and clear, and Dali has gradually returned to the place you are familiar with!
