I don't know when, the pace of our lives has begun to accelerate. Study, work, life, everything is urging us to be faster, faster... Under the pressure of life, we have to treat ourselves as a top and strive to live a seemingly busy and fulfilling life. During the occasional slowdown, I chose Dali, Yunnan, the ideal habitat for life, as a travel destination, and regained my love for life amidst the scenery and snow.
For me, the most important thing during travel is the choice of hotel. This time I chose the Beautiful Meet·Mengdiezhuang Hotel. This hotel with a dreamy name is located at the north gate of the ancient city of Dali. It is quiet in the middle of the traffic and has an excellent location. This is one of them; the hotel rooms can overlook the entire Cangshan Mountain. This is the second; The "One Room, One Car, One Butler" service means that each room is equipped with a 24-hour personal housekeeper and a special car. Free car is used within a radius of 30 kilometers of the hotel, and you can also enjoy private customized travel routes. For me, this is the most important thing I value. One of the things that I value most, traveling inevitably requires a lot of time and energy to do strategies. The service provided by the hotel is really considerate.
After several hours of flying, the plane landed steadily, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, nature and comfort came face to face. The hotel housekeeper who had made an appointment with me earlier had been waiting early. The housekeeper was extremely enthusiastic about taking my luggage and putting it in the trunk. I sat in the car and watched the traffic slowly pass by. This is how my trip to Dali began.
The car stopped at the hotel entrance, and the sky had already darkened slightly. The building with white walls and blue tiles, a beautiful meeting in the evening·Mengdiezhuang Hotel is calm and elegant in the sunset. In front of the door is a path composed of multiple wooden pillars. It is antique and has a unique texture. The plaque above said the three words Mengdie Village, which was strong and powerful.
After check-in, the housekeeper helped me carry all my luggage to the room and also brought me welcome fruits. The service was extremely warm and considerate. This time I chose Erhai Garden·Private Pool Single Family Villa. The entire room is mainly decorated with wood. The wooden floor, wood-colored window frames and door frames are filled with warmth everywhere. What I like most is the small courtyard that comes with the room. There is a small wooden pavilion in the courtyard. Sitting in the pavilion, tasting tea and looking at the scenery, my mood is instantly good.
There is also a soaking pool in the room. When I have nothing to do, I just lie in the soaking pool, relax, drink wine, eat some fruits or snacks, and it is very comfortable.
After a good night's sleep, the housekeeper followed the agreed itinerary and prepared to take me to visit Dali's famous landmark-Erhai Lake. When we arrived, the sky was still a little gray. There were flocks of seagulls on the sea and accidentally swept across the water, creating ripples. The wind was a little strong. The housekeeper, a part-time photographer, had been taking photos of me. The pictures they took were so beautiful.
In the afternoon, we chose the ancient city of Dali, which is only about five minutes away from the hotel. Dali city is simple and quiet. The city is full of flowers and plants and clear streams flowing. Dali people plant all kinds of flowers and plants in their courtyards and live slowly. Small shops on the street not only buy tourist souvenirs, but also vegetable and fruit markets. Some sell snacks and folk costumes.
After visiting the ancient city pedestrian street, I saw that it was still early. The housekeeper said that the ginkgo trees on Yuer Road next to the Cangshan Gate of the ancient city had turned yellow. The two of us walked on the road together. The street on Yuer Road was open and covered with sycamore trees and ginkgo trees. As far as you can see, you can see a golden tree and fallen leaves everywhere. A gust of autumn wind blows, and the leaves of the ginkgo tree fall down from the tree in succession. It is so beautiful!
The housekeeper and I arrived in Xizhou Town early on the third day. It only took about 20 minutes from the hotel to the town, which was very convenient. The housekeeper has been introducing Xizhou Ancient Town to me. Xizhou Ancient Town is a very suitable place to relax. It retains the largest and most complete Bai residential building in the world. It is also the "Miracle Xizhou" written by Mr. Lao She. You will involuntarily slow down and feel the laziness and charm of this ancient city.
Walking forward is Sifang Street in Xizhou. The market sells many gadgets, as well as some local snack shops. Of course, as a snack, the thing that attracts me the most on Sifang Street is Xizhou Baba. There are two types of Xizhou Baba, sweet and salty. The sweet ones are added with rose sugar, and the salty ones are added with meat and onions. I prefer the sweet ones. The outer skin of the Baba is crispy and soft on the inside. It leaves a fragrance when you bite your lips and teeth.
In the afternoon, I discussed with the housekeeper and decided to walk to the Third Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple near the hotel. It takes about 5 minutes on foot. Everywhere you see on the road, there are comfortable and beautiful scenery of nature, and the air is fresh and makes people feel happy.
As we continued to approach, the three towers that could only be seen from a distance before were perfectly presented in front of me. It is said that Chongsheng Temple was burned down during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and only the three pagodas remain intact. Now I can feel the grandeur of the three towers up close. The simplicity and tranquility of standing quietly add an extraordinary color to the city of Dali.
On the fourth day, I planned to stay in the hotel without going out and have a good rest and spend the last day of my trip to Dali in the hotel. In the morning, I woke up naturally. After lunch, I looked at the small bridges and flowing water in the hotel, which seemed like a beautiful scenery from a paradise. I suddenly felt elegant and changed into a cheongsam and invited the housekeeper to help me take some photos. The housekeeper's photography skills are also very professional. He has been looking for angles and guiding photo poses. He also borrowed an oilpaper umbrella and a folding fan for me as photo props. The effect of the film is so satisfying!
On the morning of the fifth day, after I washed up early at the hotel, I went to the front desk to say goodbye to my sister, and the housekeeper sent me to the airport. This trip to Dali ended perfectly! Life is slow and the years are beautiful! I think the ideal state of life is to read poetry as "life" and live life as "poetry"! The "One Room, One Car and One Butler" service of Beautiful Meet·Mengdiezhuang Hotel made my journey smooth and worry-free. I must praise this hotel that can see Cangshan and Erhai Lake. I think that the white moonlight in my heart should be a life like a paradise in Dali ~
