"If you are unhappy one day, why not go all the way west to Dali! Answers can be found here about life, friendship and youth."

Yunnan, Dali, Fenghua, Xueyue, no matter how many times I go, I feel that it is not enough. I have been to Dali eight times in the past few years without realizing it.

"Dali really has nothing to do with it. The Erhai Lake is not as good as a lake in my hometown." I once heard from a friend. I laughed. Is that the wrong way to open it?

Dali Ancient City, Xiaguan, Haidong, Qase, Shangguan, Zhoucheng, Xizhou... Arrive again and again. Many times, the mood of traveling and the companions around you are really important.

Dali, which is gradually getting familiar with, has several favorite places that I want to share with you, but it's a pity not to go.

If you can't go to Santorini in the Aegean Sea in Greece, go to Santorini's Dalifenni! This place is really suitable for taking photos, and it's beautiful just taking a photo.

That day, I rented a car from the ancient city of Dali to circle around the Erhai Lake and went to Ideal State, which is also called Dali Santorini.

Ideal State, located in Haidong, Dali, is the full name of Ideal State Cultural Tourism Resort Town. It faces the ancient city of Dali across the "sea" and has the same geographical features as the Aegean Bay in Greece.

Compared with Dali's overwhelming glass balls and white stairs before, they are killed in minutes here, giving the feeling of the Aegean Sea in China.

There are many high-end hotels, cafes, and restaurants here, and taking photos outside is free. Step by step, various scenes have been carefully polished.

However, you should pay attention to sun protection. If it is really too sunburn in the afternoon, it is best to bring an umbrella. I suggest you come here in the evening and watch a sunset on the Erhai Lake. It is very beautiful.

There are not many tourists recently, so you can take a lot of aerial scenes.

Every alley is beautiful, and you won't be afraid of getting lost. Just walk up the alley.

Blue sky, white clouds, cactus, standing high and looking at the Erhai Lake, it is so blue. If you have enough time, come here for a cup of coffee!

TIPS：

1. You can reach the ideal country by navigating. If you don't stay in the hotel, you can also come and take photos.

2. The overall color is white, blue, and khaki. It will be better to choose the right clothes.

3. There are several arches of Internet celebrities, and there are many people taking wedding photos and portraits, which takes a long time. However, there are many scenes and many alleys are beautiful.

Zhoucheng is known as the "Hometown of Bai Tie Dye" and is the largest natural village in Yunnan Province. There are more than 1500 Bai residents living in the village. It is the largest Bai village in Dali.

When going to Zhoucheng, Dali, you must experience Zhoucheng tie-dye.

These seemingly simple tie-dyed fabrics will be difficult at all until you make them yourself.

A white cloth, an embroidery needle, two hours of slow time in Zhoucheng, my heart is very calm.

The boss lady will teach you some basic knowledge of tie-dyeing, and you can design your own patterns. So it became a unique piece of tie-dye in the world.

Looking at this group, the one in my hand is really a child's disease.

Putting on the gloves and personally watching the white cloth gradually change color, from green to blue, it was really amazing.

Although simple and imperfect, the whole process was very meticulous and happy.

TIPS：

1. The price of DIY tie-dyeing varies from 50 to 100 depending on the size and complexity of the tie-dyed cloth

2. You can bring back the tie-dyed works yourself as souvenirs.

3. There are many such tie-dye experience stores in Zhoucheng. Just find one at will.

Less than three kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali, there is a dream private garden of 10000 square meters hidden: Maomi Garden, which many Dali people do not know about.

Cat Rice Garden is not because there are many cats, but because the man who built this garden gave it to his wife Mao and daughter Xiaomi a beautiful garden.

I came here once when I was traveling to Dali last year. Because I liked it so much and missed it, I came here again for the second time. The last time I was with my best friend, this time I brought three friends.

Every corner of Maomi Garden is like a painting. A stool and a swing are all decorated in place.

I suggest you go at 12:00 in the afternoon, because you can really stay here all afternoon and don't want to leave.

In the white wooden house in Maomi Garden, an afternoon tea for four was booked.

The set meal costs 648 yuan, including 4 optional drinks, two very exquisite and delicious cakes, a fruit plate, a dried fruit plate, and a three-color ice cream.

I didn't lose weight today, I broke my abstinence and ate milk tea, cake, ice cream... I occasionally need to be willful.

It was raining in Dali, looking at the blooming flowers all over the world, listening to romantic music, chatting with friends, and enjoying it very much.

Share it with you, lovely food and scenery are worth recording, right?

TIps：

1. The entrance ticket is 98 yuan. You can not consume it. There is self-service lemonade.

2. Even if it rains, there is also an indoor cafe, which is very beautiful.

3. There are tents camping here. When you sleep among the flowers and wake up, everything is beautiful in your dreams.

4. If you don't have a photographer, paid photo shooting is also available here, which can be booked in advance.

"Let farmers become a more dignified profession." In Mingli Commune, Dali, Yunnan, a sentence written on a wooden fence is deeply remembered.

This is a farm built in Dali by a couple from Northeast China, about 7 kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali and a 10-minute drive.

The lady boss was busy, and the waiters were all local farmers, who were very down-to-earth. The boss wearing a plaid shirt with bib trousers was very elegant and took a group photo with him.

I came to Dali Mingli Commune for the second time and brought a few friends to experience the night surrounded by romance again.

As long as it doesn't rain heavily, you can eat in the garden. After sitting down, there are scented tea and fruits. The dishes are delicious and have a very ceremonial feel.

The waiter serving the food was a local farmer who worked here and was very simple. The tableware and plates in Mingli Garden are all tastefully selected.

The dishes here will surprise you that a farm can have such a high style.

All the dishes are healthy, and there is no burden to eat them all.

The staple foods are grilled chicken legs and grilled Angus steak, which can be medium rare or medium rare. By the way, there is no order here, and the set meals are fixed.

If you book dinner, try to go early. There are too many scenes to take photos and the layout is very beautiful.

Especially after night, the lights are on, the mountains are undulating, the flowers and plants are fresh, and the bonfires are lit. Every picture is filled with love.

In the end, everyone gathered in the wooden cabin tent to bake marshmallows. This is a great place to meet new friends. Talking about Dali, travel, and arrangements for the next day with unfamiliar friends, it is easy to make like-minded friends.

TIPS：

1. Although it was dining in the open air, it was surprising that there were no mosquitoes.

2. It's a little chilly after night, so remember to bring a coat.

3. Mingli Commune also provides lunch sets, which is best to book in advance.

If you come to Dali for the first time, one place you must visit is the ancient city of Dali, which has a history of construction for 1200 years.

The ancient city of Dali, located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, was the capital of the ancient Nanzhao State and Dali State.

This ancient city is very lively because of the participation of local people.

Stroll around Renmin Road in the ancient city of Dali. There are many beautiful restaurants, cafes, and taverns on this road. It is really suitable for wandering around. Flowers are everywhere, making it very suitable for taking photos.

The road in the ancient city of Dali is very easy to identify, from the east gate to the west gate, and from the south gate to the north gate. Looking for a cafe to sit when I am tired of shopping is my favorite way.

Even if it rains, the ancient city of Dali is still beautiful. Put up a transparent umbrella and spend 5 yuan on a roasting bait fan.

I like the ancient city where it rains most and the evening when it will be dark.

At night, find a quiet tavern to sit. A few bottles of romantic flowers, chatting or being silent.

If you have enough time to travel to Dali, I suggest you stay in the ancient city of Dali for two nights and by the Erhai Lake for two nights. Although the scenery of the seaside inn is good, entertainment, shopping, dining, and nightlife are much worse.

During that trip, I stayed at Yuying·Luyue Inn in the ancient city of Dali for three nights. The inn is located on Renmin Road in the ancient city of Dali. It can be said to be quiet in the hustle and bustle, but it is very convenient to go anywhere. It takes a minute to get off the bus and walk.

I chose this place because the inn is located on Renmin Road in the ancient city of Dali, making it very convenient to get in and out. Secondly, I like the two courtyards of the inn, the large terrace on the third floor, and the sunrise of the ancient city of Dali.

In the afternoon, when the sun is too hot outside, I will go back to Yuying·Luyue Inn to rest, have a cup of tea or have a small nap.

After staying in the inn for a long time, I gradually became familiar with the person in charge of the inn. I suddenly felt like I was going home. Before I left, I felt that I would come back next time.
