The starting point of the 2019-11-22 Dali Yunnan West Line Tour starts with the Erhai Loop Tour!

Dali, this is the third time. I haven't walked through the ring line twice before. I lived in Xiabopeng Village for the first time and in Cai Village for the second time. Now the west line of Erhai Lake has been completely renovated, and the west line is basically the entire line. Road closed, so I went directly to Xizhou Ancient Town.

I truly admire those who ride electric horses around the lake

Walking into Xizhou Ancient Town

There are hundreds of Bai residential buildings with their own characteristics in the Ming, Qing, Republic and contemporary periods in the town.

When I met an old house in Xizhou Ancient Town, one wall was enough for Pose. Isn't it very contemporary?

"The No. 1 Town in Canghai Scenery": Shuanglang Ancient Town, I have to say, does not feel as good as imagined. Even in November, the off-season, there are many tourists and it is noisy.

It's almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still so many tourists. It can be seen that this is a must-check-in place for every tourist.

However, staying in the ancient town for two days should be a good choice. After all, there are still few tourists in the morning and evening, but cars cannot drive into the ancient town. This is the reason why I did not choose to stay in Shuanglang Ancient Town when I returned to Dali.

About Yang Liping's Sun Palace (an inn on the edge of the Erhai Lake): When the government launched the operation to protect the Erhai Lake, many inns on the edge of the Erhai Lake were closed, including the Sun Palace. After the inn was closed, Yang Liping also responded to the incident very seriously and said with certainty that the hotel was not polluted.

Yang Liping said that Taiyang Palace has always had zero emissions since the beginning of its construction. The so-called "business suspension for rectification" on the Internet due to substandard pollution discharge is just a rumor."We hold all relevant certificates such as construction certificates and pollution discharge certificates that everyone cares about."

This is the legendary "Sun Palace" by Yang Liping, but you cannot enter at will. You need a tea seat fee of 100 yuan to enter.

It was already 5:45 pm when you came out of Shuanglang, and it was already sunset when driving along the eastern line of Erhai Lake to Xiaoputuo.

2019-11-23 A wonderful day starts with breakfast

Morning in Erhai Lake: Quiet and peaceful

Erhai Park (known as "Tuanshan" locally): covers an area of about 864 acres and has a water area of 1065 acres.

In Erhai Park, climb high and look at the sea, and you can have a panoramic view of the Erhai Lake for three hundred miles.

2019-11-24 Depart from Dali and go directly to Tengchong Ginkgo Village, which is the main destination of this trip.

In the morning mist

The mist gradually dissipated

There are more than 3000 ancient ginkgo trees distributed in Ginkgo Village, including more than 50 trees that are more than 500 years old, more than 70 trees that are more than 400 years old, more than 150 trees that are 200- 300 years old, and more than 600 trees that are more than 30 years old. There are 2100 trees that are more than 20 years old. In addition, there are 1000 acres of middle and young forests, with about 33000 trees.

It is truly worthy of being said: "The village is in the forest, and the forest is in the village"

After breakfast, go back to the inn to rest.

2019-11-26 This year's ginkgo trees will turn yellow later than in previous years, so this year has not yet reached the best viewing period. Since the accommodation was only booked for two nights, we will arrange the following itinerary and come back on the return journey.

Passing by the Longjiang Bridge (Double name-Longjiang Bridge): The bridge adopts a double tower single-span steel box girder suspension bridge with a total length of 2470 meters. The bridge deck is 280 meters away from the river surface. The main bridge span is arranged at 320 meters +1196 meters +320 meters., it is the largest span steel box girder suspension bridge in the mountainous areas of Asia.

Wanding Bridge: Located on the Wanding River, a 20-meter-wide boundary river between Wanding and Jiugu Town, Myanmar. It is the intersection of the Diannan-Myanmar Highway and the China-India Highway (Stilwell Highway).

During the Second World War, the Japanese army blocked all China's sea entrances. The Diannan-Myanmar Highway became the only land channel through which the international anti-fascist camp assisted China with strategic supplies. Wanding became the base camp of the allied forces of China, the United States and Britain and the distribution center of supplies. Every day, hundreds of thousands of military vehicles transported supplies to the mainland, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary troops entered and exited the country from here. Wanding began to develop.

Mori Waterfall: Mori Waterfall is the waterfall with the largest drop in Dehong and even southwest Yunnan. Clear spring water pours down from the 60-meter-high cliff wall, forming a scene where "water is stacked like cotton, and it disperses itself without a bow and a flower."

2019-12-1 Return from the Western Route of Yunnan and return to Tengchong.

After five years, visiting the ancient town of Heshun added a lot of literary and artistic atmosphere.

Stay at this inn in Heshun Ancient Town. This may be one of the few courtyards in Heshun Ancient Town where parking can be parked! The environment is also beautiful, and the boss is also very good.

Walking into Ginkgo Village again is like entering a golden fairy tale world.

2019-12-4 In the morning, visit the Centennial Vegetable Street in Heshun and set off.

Back to the starting point of Yunnan's Western Route Tour: Dali

Take a break for two days and go to places you wanted to go but didn't go on your road trip at the end of 2017.
