Butterfly Spring, the birthplace of Dali's love label!

Butterfly Spring is a beautiful and realistic name. It belongs to a spring pool, but eventually became the birthplace of Dali's romantic love label.

Dali's romance and love are everywhere, which is one of the reasons why Dali is loved by people. The romance of Butterfly Spring has long become a symbol, and a spirit has deeply influenced Dali.

The former Huadi Spring was regarded by young Bai people as a sacred place for love because of the love story between Xialang and Wengu. On the 15th of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, when Xialang and Wengu died for love, they came to the Huadi Spring to commemorate them.

Nowadays, when you walk into Butterfly Spring, you can't tell which of the most representative ones is the "water" you can see everywhere. Lovers Lake, Crescent Moon Lake, and Duige Lake are all water pools in Butterfly Spring.

When you come to the front of Butterfly Spring, you will understand the uniqueness of Butterfly Spring, and you will also understand that all the beauty revolves around it!

Butterfly Spring is not big, the pool water is very deep, green, crystal clear, very unique.

The acacia tree spans the top of Butterfly Spring. In summer, the acacia tree blooms with yellow flowers, like colorful butterflies. The acacia flowers exude a faint fragrance, which once attracted thousands of butterflies to gather here.

The appearance of thousands of butterflies has also attracted tens of thousands of young Bai men and women to gather here. The double linkage of butterflies and acacia flowers, the butterflies dance around the flowers, and the flowers attract the butterflies to be intoxicated.

The time when this wonderful sight appeared was during the annual Butterfly Festival, and it was also the day when Xialang and Wen Gu died for love and turned into butterflies. People believed that this was an agreement, so people played three strings, sang love songs, and danced around Butterfly Spring. Dance.

As time goes by, tourists will understand the meaning of "Butterfly Spring".

If you have never seen what the "water town" on the plateau looks like, then let me tell you that the Eryuan West Lake is the most authentic and comprehensive portrayal.

Eryuan West Lake is located in Eryuan County, the source of the Eryuan Lake. The water from Eryuan West Lake will eventually belong to the Eryuan Lake, so we can call Eryuan West Lake the root of the Eryuan Lake for the time being.

Eryuan West Lake is a meadow that stretches for several kilometers, extending from the flat ground to the foot of the mountain. There are families deep in the meadow. Now there are paths around the meadow leading to the village, but the people who were once in the deepest part of the meadow need to be rowed to reach it.

Although Eryuan West Lake is a meadow, it is not all a meadow. It is a large lotus pond, a sea of sunflower flowers, swarms of ospreys, and cherry blossom trees one after another. This is the water town's version of the "Peach Blossom Land".

People live here by water and farm in the nearby crops. If you are on the second floor of a building deep in the meadow, you can see the depths of the open meadow and the distance, and see the scenery around the meadow.

Taking a cruise ship deep into the meadow, it was quiet. Every sound startled a group of waterbirds, and occasionally I heard a dog barking or rooster chirping.

The lake is crystal clear and as bright as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and lush grass. There are geese and ducks hidden in the grass, which often brings surprises.

Spend 1-2 hours floating on the West Lake in Eryuan, regardless of where you are or where you are going home, go deep into the core of the meadow, visit the mysterious grass, and see the families in the depths.

Playing with the warm wind and playing with the cool water, we stroll slowly and slowly. Every grass, tree, flower, and household in Eryuan West Lake naturally become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!

The Erhai Lake is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, next to the ancient city. The fishing villages in Dali are basically built around the Erhai Lake. The ancient cities, villages, roads, mountains and farmland are all distributed around the Erhai Lake.

Dali's urban layout follows ancient methods, which is actually understandable. After all, water is the source of life and the source of all things. Only with water can there be life.

Mountains wrap water in them, and people and water live next to each other. People rely on the Erhai Lake to establish a clan society and establish an ecosystem, and their blood continues here.

The Erhai Lake is not wide from east to west, but it is super long from north to south. The length from the source of the Erhai Lake to the end of the Erhai Lake is 42.58 kilometers, so the Erhai Lake is a long and narrow water area.

There are 6 major islands in this long and narrow waters, the well-known peninsula-Luoquan Peninsula, the small island-Xiaoputuo, the big island-Nanzhao Style Island, Jinsuo Island and Yinsuo Island.

There are not only islands in this water area, but also a large number of fish living underwater. Therefore, many small fishing villages have been built around the Erhai Lake. They are basically mainly fishing and planting.

Nowadays, these small fishing villages have all become attractions dominated by "fisherman style" and "pastoral style". The most representative ones are Shuanglang Town and Xizhou Ancient Town.

Walking around the Erhai Lake will increase your understanding of Dali by 60%.

Therefore, two ways to visit the Erhai Lake have been derived from the characteristics of the Erhai Lake. One is to tour around the Erhai Lake, and the other is to take a cruise ship and experience the customs of the Erhai Lake as the cruise ship sails in the Erhai Lake.

Tours around the Erhai Lake usually take the form of self-driving, cycling or tourist buses. For a 120-kilometer tour, it takes about 3 hours at the fastest by driving, not counting the time to stop and watch.

Tour around the Erhai Lake to visit all the attractions and Internet celebrity check-in spots with the Erhai Lake as its core, and you will not miss any attractions.

The biggest advantages of taking a cruise ship are its comfort and short journey. The cruise ship route condenses all the most exciting and representative attractions of the Erhai Lake into the range of cruise ship routes.

When the cruise ship first set sail, the urban scenery of Dali first broke into the eye, followed by the ink-like Cangshan Mountain. Then the ancient cities, villages, and ancient towers on the Haixi River appeared one by one, entering the core area of the Shuanglang scenery, the islands and peninsulas in the Erhai Lake. -Xiaoputuo, Nanzhao Style Islands.

As well as well-known small fishing villages, all of them are on the cruise ship itinerary. Finally, the cruise ship stops at Shuanglang Wharf, where you can watch the sunset, visit the ancient town, and enjoy the scenery of Dali's Erhai Lake.

In Dali, water and mountains are the essence and soul of the city of Dali. No one is better than this spring, a lake, and a sea in the competition about water, and no one is defeated. On the contrary, it is because of their common characteristics have laid the tone of Dali city and created the reputation of Dali's landscape city!
