Dali must be the gentlest place in China.

Gentle accompanied by the wind, graceful dancing, beautiful like an illusion.

It has a fresh and natural side, as if all troubles are filtered here.

It has a refined side, tranquil brilliance, luxurious purity.

It has a leisurely side, time has a kind of push-pull stickiness here, and anyone is fascinated by every minute here.

Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon.

Although the word "wind, flowers, snow and moon" was not born because of Dali, it was vividly interpreted by Dali.

And this romantic and snowy moon is not limited, and even in late autumn, it still does not seem depressed.

Many people will ask: "Is there autumn in Dali?"

Yes, of course, how can I tell? One is to look at the leaves, and the other is to look at the sky.

In autumn, after seeing the autumn sky in Dali, you can no longer remember the sky in other places.

I don't feel that the early autumn night is getting longer, but flowers are still blooming.

Autumn in Dali came quietly like this.

After dozens of days of precipitation, Dali at this time has a stronger autumn feeling.

Falling flowers and residual leaves all hang down their once high heads.

In front of me is a curtain of dreamy worries, and in my ears is the breeze blowing across the lake and stirring up the ethereal rhythm.

There are only two months left in 2020. You really should take a few days to visit Dali.

01. Dali's water charm

There are always places where it cannot be called shocking, nor is it irreplaceable.

But whenever you have free time and want to relax, the first thing you think of is there.

Erhai Lake is such a place.

Erhai Lake is not a sea, but it can heal the heart more than the sea.

In the crisp autumn, the clouds seem to compete for the halo of the protagonist. However, the Erhai Lake pampers it so much. It looks silently at the white clouds in the sky, which is fantasy and romantic.

There is another reason why I especially like Erhai Lake in autumn, which is the rice fields.

This is a beautiful scenery that belongs exclusively to autumn. It is not rich, it is not burdensome, it is not bleak, it is not boring, it is full of vitality, and it does not seem noisy.

Many people don't make too many stops in Haijiao Park.

But for photography enthusiasts, Sea Tongue Park is a place worth a whole day.

You may be a little disappointed when the sun is not fully out.

But as long as you give it a little time, it will definitely bring you a lot of surprises.

When the sun climbed up completely, this place woke up. Lying quietly in the arms of the mountains is like a star falling into the world. It is so peaceful and particularly bright.

I especially like the trees by the lake. Some are still alive, some have turned into rotten wood, but they are all dressed up intentionally or unintentionally.

In Dali, there is a saying:

"The scenery of Dali is in Canger, and the scenery of Canger is in Shuanglang."

If you want to say the most exciting part of these, Nanzhao Style Island ranks first.

You can spend a day walking around.

Looking at history, this place condenses Dali's cultural heritage for thousands of years, showing the style of the six hundred years of the imperial capital of the Nanzhao and Dali dynasties.

Looking at the sunset, the most beautiful thing about the island in autumn is the evening. The clouds inlaid with gold rims slowed down, and the golden light overflowed from the other side of the mountain and was infinitely amplified by the water. The halo swallowed every corner here bit by bit.

If you like a quieter place, come to Heqing Caohai.

She is like a paradise, beautiful, simple, peaceful, and aloof from the world.

Today, her mysterious veil is being lifted little by little by the outside world.

The water in spring is bright and willows are green, the red lotus blossoms are blooming in summer, the reeds are dancing in autumn, and migratory birds are gathering in the winter solstice.

Caohai is the right season all year round.

If you go to Caohai at this time, although there are no lush water and grass, you can see groups of migratory birds flying together. Under the backlight of the artistic branches, it looks like an ink painting.

02. The mountains of Dali

Speaking of Dali, the name of Cangshan always follows.

But in fact, many times, when you look at Cangshan, you are looking at the perspective.

It has made beautiful blockbusters taken in Dali one after another, and does not complain about making the most beautiful background board.

But you know that Cangshan is actually not as lonely and desolate as it is in the impression.

To enjoy the beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain, you can view it from a distance from various villages and towns on the shores of Erhai Lake, or you can walk into the Cangshan Scenic Area and experience it up close.

Or, there are many cableways in Cangshan (Cangshan Ximatan Cableway). It is also a good choice to take a cableway to take a panoramic view of the mountains and see Dali from God's perspective.

Shibao Mountain is located in Shaxi Town, about 25 kilometers south of the city of Jianchuan County.

Because the red sand and gravel on the mountain formed turtle back cracks, like lions, elephants and clocks, it got the name of Shibao.

As one of the first batch of 44 key scenic spots in the country announced by the State Council, this is a peak of the gods and a city in the sky.

Among them, the Shizhong Temple Grottoes Area is the most famous.

Chinese ranger Xu Xiake also came here. He said in "Journey to the Stone Baoshan":"The stone surface has patterns like dragon scales." After traveling all over China, he couldn't help but be surprised and said it was strange!

When you come to a place, you must understand the history of the place.

As a treasure house of ethnic minority culture and art in ancient southwest China, Jianchuan Shizhong Mountain stone carving art is an important part of Dali's history and a beautiful scenery in Dali.

Jizu Mountain is located in the mountains running from north to south on the east bank of Erhai Lake.

Because the mountain peaks are prominent and the view is wide, it is suitable to watch the sunrise to the east, and you can also overlook Cangshan Mountain on the west bank of the Erhai Lake to the west.

Of course, the most classic place is the Jinding Temple on the top of the mountain. Under the blue clear sky, the Golden Hall and White Pagoda are very eye-catching.

The red sun fell and was replaced by a brighter starry sky.

It was a night unseen in the city.

Clear, bright, and bright. Any word to describe the starry sky cannot describe this brilliance.

03. Dali's nostalgia

Compared with the ancient city of Dali, Xizhou Ancient Town is a very leisurely and clean place.

Compared with saying that this place is suitable for playing, it is more appropriate to say that it is more suitable for life.

There are many handicraft workshops on the street, as well as street vendors setting up stalls along the street, which is very easy to visit.

One day in the ancient town, it is not difficult to find that everyone is living slowly and carefully.

In Xizhou Ancient Town, observing buildings is also very interesting.

Hundreds of Bai residential buildings with their own characteristics in the Ming, Qing, Republic of China and contemporary periods.

Walking along the streets of the ancient town, the buildings on both sides give people a solemn and powerful yet light and lucid look.

Ancient temples, ancient stage, ancient shops, century-old trees, ancient alleys, and ancient village gates.

Shaxi Ancient Town can be regarded as a real ancient town.

It has not been overexploited, but still retains its most pristine appearance.

Nestling deep in the mountains, you don't please anyone, just write your own chapter in the long river of time.

Some people say it is too rough here, but in fact, there is also a delicate side to the rough.

The long and narrow island, with old doors and windows, is always dotted with flowers and plants everywhere you can see.

It can be seen that the local residents take good care of this place.

Take a sunny day and bask in the sun on a stone stool in the center of the town, which is comfortable and beautiful.

The taste of Dali is the taste that brings together Dali's sky, lakes, mountains, flowers, ancient towns and the thoughts of every lovely person you encounter.

I once read a saying: If you don't want much, life will be much simpler.

In this special year 2020, every good thing you see is an unexpected gain.

Give yourself a trip and treat yourself as a reward for your hard work.

Come to Dali and catch Qiu's tail.
