The ancients said: Travel thousands of miles and read thousands of books. Traveling and reading have always been the two most important things in my life. One of my body and soul is always on the road, either reading or traveling. Reading can enrich people's hearts, while travel can increase knowledge and broaden their horizons. Every year, I make a reading list and travel list for myself. I chose Yunnan for the first stop on the travel list in the spring of 19 years and came to Dali, where I was longing for it.

The plane flew directly from Shijiazhuang to Kunming at eight o'clock in the morning. I was lucky enough to buy a ticket by the window at 600 and landed at Kunming Changshui International Airport on time at eleven o'clock noon. As soon as I left the airport, the warm air came in. The words "Colorful Yunnan Welcome You" made people feel the breath of spring more strongly, because at this time, Shijiazhuang was still chilly in spring and slightly chilly. He wore a thick coat when leaving home, and had already changed into a thin windbreaker after arriving. Because he likes to wander because he doesn't want to rush to catch a trip, he didn't immediately transfer to Dali, but stayed in Kunming overnight. Arriving at the hotel I booked in advance, I put down my luggage and took a short rest before coming out to find food. I chose Yunnan Crossing the Bridge Rice Noodles for my first meal, and then went to Cuihu Park to feed seagulls. But maybe it was the weekend that I saw too many citizens with their children feeding seagulls, so I didn't go forward to join in the fun and didn't take any good photos. There were also many local Kunming aunties dancing in the park, so I simply sat with my friends in the corner, looking at the seagulls that had been fed by people in the distance and watching the aunties sing and dancing, which gave me a unique view.

In the evening, I visited Jinma Biji Shop, found a Yunnan food restaurant, and then returned to the hotel early to rest. I had no dreams all night, but I slept well. The next morning, I sent a carpool message on my mobile phone, and within a few minutes, I found two other friends to carpool together to Dali. All the way through Chuxiong Yi Autonomous Prefecture, Xiangyun County, and Dali City. At noon, I arrived in the ancient city of Dali and checked into Yonglin Inn at No. 68 Wenshan Road, ancient city.

The inn building is very Bai. The beautiful young lady at the front desk arranged a room on the third floor. When you open the window, you can see Cangshan in the distance. The room is also decorated in a very stylish manner, clean and tidy manner. The little sister also gave a map of the ancient city, and the service was very considerate. Putting down my luggage, I took the map given by my little sister and went out to visit the ancient city. The south gate of the ancient city is less than a hundred meters away from the inn. Before entering the city gate, I bought myself a sunshade hat. The ultraviolet rays in Dali are really strong. Be sure to apply sunscreen and sunshade hat, or it may be black in two color number. Put on a sunshade hat and went into the city bravely, haha

The large waterwheel with Yunnan characteristics, the water everywhere, all kinds of nameless flowers, and the warm sunshine suddenly made my mood lazy.

Although she has always advertised herself as a young woman of literature and art, she reveals her nature of food every time she visits a new place. Seeing the big baskets of roses in front of Jiahua Flower Cake Shop and smelling the aroma of freshly baked flower cakes, the greedy worms in my stomach were already beating gongs and drums to feed them quickly. Sitting on the carved chair on the street, eating crispy cakes with a strong floral flavor and basking in the warm sun, this kind of life is so fascinating. I just want time to pass slowly and extend this laziness that can only be found in Dali. Infinite extension.

The sky in Dali is very blue, and the big white clouds look like cotton candies.

The sky in Dali is unpredictable and changeable, with blue skies and white clouds and surging dark clouds. Only in Yunnan can you see this kind of light beam shooting down from the clouds.

The ancient city of Dali becomes lively at night, and nightlife truly begins. The south gate of the ancient city was under renovation at that time. We all entered through the side door, and there would be lively square dances wherever we went, haha.

After entering Wuhua Tower, the whole street became lively. The bars that were closed during the day also opened their doors to welcome guests. The resident singer had begun to sing affectionately. Three or three people or groups of people drank and chatted or listened quietly to music. On a night that brought Dali to life, I passed taverns decorated with a slightly martial arts style and antique bars one after another, giving people the illusion that I had come to the ancient Dali Kingdom, and I was the knight walking in the Jianghu.

In the bustling crowd, I walked through small shops one after another and chose a few dresses, a beautiful brooch, or a few hairpins for myself. My mood suddenly became excited. The decoration was small and beautiful. Food shops will also stop to taste it. This is the meaning of travel. Find different moods in different places. The night in Dali is too beautiful and provocative.

It was already late at night. On the way back from Fuxing Road, the main street of the ancient city, I went to Zhaoji Plum Store and bought fresh flowers, yogurt, and rose flavor, and brought them to the inn to drink. The strong smell of roses was very delicious. Zhaoji Plum is very famous and there are many local snacks in it. Plum is a specialty and it is very good to give it to relatives and friends as a companion gift. After the first day of my trip to Dali, I still slept well. I would like to commend Yonglin Inn for its bedding that is on par with a five-star hotel. It is extremely clean and comfortable, and the quilt still smells of the sun. Therefore, I stayed in Yonglin for several days in Dali. Get up early the next day and go riding the Erhai Lake.

Riding on my beloved scooter and starting to circle the Erhai Lake, haha, this stupid scooter with two wheels in front and one wheel behind was rented from a shop called Douha Express Rental in the south gate of the ancient city, with a deposit of 300 yuan, charged by the hour, and returned the car independently on WeChat. It is very easy and convenient to ride. I saw many of the same models along the way, and I can carry people. It is cool to use it as props to take photos, haha.

After coming out of the east gate of the ancient city and passing through Caicun, I saw the Erhai Lake. I finally saw the Erhai Lake in my heart. I was still very excited. The Erhai Lake was slightly foggy in the morning, and I was not a professional photographer, so I could not capture the blue color of the Erhai Lake.

How can I not take a few photos when I arrive at the Erhai Lake? It is almost noon when the fog dissipates and the sky becomes blue. Sit on the stone pier on the edge of the Erhai Lake, look up and close my eyes, breathe in the fresh air. Sit for five minutes and bask in the sun. How can I not join in the fun? It costs 30 yuan per person for an hour for taking photos. If I hire a photographer or need to provide clothing, I don't think I'm a beautiful lady, so I don't hire a photographer and just let my friends take a few photos in my own clothes. Then continue to ride the stupid scooter and go straight to Haishue Park in Xizhou Ancient Town.


Arrived at Xizhou Ancient Town at noon. The most famous thing in Xizhou Ancient Town is Xizhou Baba. However, he didn't like fried food very much, so he didn't eat it. After ordering stir-fried food, the boss recommended a local specialty soup, which looked like tea but very delicious.

After lunch, I parked my motorcycle at the hotel owner's house and went to Haizue Park. The boss recommended us a small carriage at the door, saying that it was still far away from the park door. We took a small carriage decorated like Cinderella's pumpkin cart and went to the park. Haizue Ecological Park is really very original. The entire park has maintained its original appearance, with no trace of artificial construction. There is no park gate, the road is also an original dirt road, and there are no chairs inside. Everything is the original way, but it is very literary and suitable for taking photos. The photos taken are very clean. The dead trees of the Erhai Lake, the fields of rapeseed flowers, and the branches swaying in the wind. The scenery is unique here. After shopping around, I felt that it was going to rain, so I returned to the ancient city. Before dark, I returned to the ancient city to return the car. After eating the braised pork rice that only had braised pork rice in an online celebrity shop, I went back to the inn to rest early. Riding a scooter for a day was also very tiring. Need to replenish your strength to complete the next journey.

On the third day in Dali, I came to Dali University on the edge of the ancient city. Dali University, which is backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing the Erhai Lake, was now in full bloom. Looking around, the breeze blew across the mountains and plains, and the cherry blossoms fell, like the cherry blossoms rained in general, so intoxicating.

Sitting on the hillside of the campus and looking out at the Erhai Lake in the distance, I couldn't help but sigh that the students who go to college here are so happy. They are accompanied by Cangshan and Erhai Lake every day. Dali University, one of the most beautiful universities in China, is worth visiting its style.

The central lake on the campus, the reflection of trees, and the calm lake surface echo the sky. The sky and water are in the same color, like a fairyland.

An unexpected cherry blossom rain made me miss it in my heart since then, and I have to come every spring to go to this cherry blossom date.

On my last day in Dali, because I had to go from Dali to Kunming in the afternoon and then fly back to Shijiazhuang in the evening, I didn't do anything in the morning. I just sat on the bench in Erhai Park in a daze, looking at the sea and basking in the sun. I once felt that the Erhai Lake was an unreachable dream, and Dali was also far away. I have heard countless legends of Dali. The Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, and Erhai moon are very beautiful. At this moment, the Erhai Lake is right in front of me, and I am reluctant to leave. The beautiful scenery always makes people forget to leave. The dream is come true, but I have expectations in my heart, and I hope that I will have the opportunity to come in the future and meet the blue part of the Erhai Lake again!
