Summer in Yunnan is cooler than anywhere else, so many netizens jokingly said: "Most of China's people come to Yunnan to escape the heat!"

Summer Dali welcomes the peak of summer tourism. The lively Dali is a sight that people have not seen for a long time!

Keeping up with Yunnan's tourist hotspots, I have compiled a guide for a 7-day summer tour in Dali for you. You must take a look at this summer romance that belongs only to Dali!

People's love for Dali is full of romantic imagination because people regard Dali as a paradise that can be touched.

Many people's yearning for this paradise originated from the Erhai Lake. People on the plateau have limited understanding of the sea, but they cannot stop their yearning for the sea, so the "Erhai Lake" was born.

Erhai Lake was the starting point of my love for Dali at first sight, and it was also one of the reasons why I was addicted to Dali.

Because of love at first sight, I visited the Erhai Lake more attentively. I did not miss any of the long-term cruise ship tours, night tours of the Xier River, and self-driving tours around the Erhai Lake.

Although it is the same sea, the tour methods are different, and the scenery and customs of the Erhai Lake you see are different.

The long-term cruise ship leaves at around 10 a.m., starting from the [Dali Port] Pier in Xiaguan Town and ending in Shuanglang Town. The cruise ship stops at Nanzhao Style Island during the voyage. The entire tour takes about 2.5 hours.

The sky is hazy, and there is still a trace of darkness above the Erhai Lake, but the romance of the Erhai Lake has already begun.

At this time, the lights in the distance gradually dimmed, and the sky showed a light blue. Blue and a faint blush met in the distance. I knew that was a sign that the Erhai Lake was about to change into a different shape.

When the rising sun meets the Erhai Lake and illuminates the dark Erhai Lake, the outline of the hazy mountains suddenly appears, and the silhouette of the cruise ship gradually becomes clear in the light pink.

Bathed in the morning light, slowly board the cruise ship and start a long-term cruise ship.

The cruise ship sails through the Erhai Lake all the way, taking you to see the most famous mountains, rivers and rivers in Dali. The cruise ship also presents you authentic Bai performances in batches.

The cruise ship departs from Dali Port and takes you to see the mountains and rivers along the way. From modern Dali to Dali in the Tang Dynasty, to the customs of fishing villages.

Cruise ships take your body to wander in the Erhai Lake. Various performances and beautiful scenery lead your soul to travel through Dali's ancient and modern times and appreciate the deeper charm of Dali.

Tour routes: Dali Port--Erhai Lake--Nanzhao Style Island--Shuanglang

When the cruise ship is over, you can start your self-driving tour of the Erhai Lake again!

The romance of the Erhai Lake cannot be fully felt without repeated experiences. Driving around the Erhai Lake is the second way to visit the Erhai Lake.

There is a road on the edge of the Erhai Lake called the "Huanhai Road", which intersects the edge of the Erhai Lake. It not only allows you to get close contact with the Erhai Lake, but also allows you to see the fishing villages around the Erhai Lake. It is very suitable for self-driving.

The Huanhai Road is always close to the Erhai Lake. You can feel the calm and tranquility of the Erhai Lake, the joy of fishermen, and the coolness of the Erhai Lake wind.

Along the way, you can also see folk houses that combine fashion with Bai characteristics. The exquisite and compact Little Putuo, encounter the lotus pond moon colors, see the connection between the sea and the sky, and visit the ancient Bai towns in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Now, in addition to driving around the Erhai Lake by car, you can also take a bus around the Erhai Lake. There are many ways to choose from.

Tour routes: Xiaguan--Huanhai Road--Luoquan Peninsula--Xiaoputuo--Shuanglang Town--Xizhou Ancient Town--Dali Ancient City

Having seen the Erhai Lake during the day, you can't miss the Erhai Lake at night. It's a completely different romance.

The sunset is about to end, and the ripples of the Erhai Lake are cutting the outline of the mountain unscrupulously. The lights on the shore suddenly appear and overflow onto the Erhai Lake, giving off a romantic atmosphere. The romance of the Erhai Lake on summer nights has slowly unfolded.

At this time, it is the most suitable time to take a cruise ship, tour the Xier River at night, and experience the dream and romance of the Erhai Lake on summer nights.

Take a cruise ship and walk slowly along the edge of the Erhai Lake. The peaceful Erhai Lake is silent amid the noise and slowly blends into the blurred lights and night.

The breeze is coming slowly, the buildings on the shore are covered with colorful lights, the corners of the buildings are hidden, and the laughter on the shore can be vaguely heard. Everything becomes romantic and gentle. I want time to stop at this moment forever.

Dali is an intoxicating place. After visiting the vast Erhai Lake, go to Cangshan Qingbixi to experience another summer romance that belongs to here.

Dali's summer romance is given by flowers, water, and mountains. Qingbi River in Cangshan is such a place. The elegance of the mountains and the agility of the water together outline the wonders of the mountains-Qingbi River.

Qingbi River is located deep in Cangshan Mountain, surrounded by mountains. The Gantong Cableway is the fastest means of transportation to Qingbi River.

Qingbi River is very mysterious. Even if you are about to arrive on the cableway, you can't see Qingbi River. You can only see a pure white creek flowing in the low-lying place in the valley, which is very eye-catching among the green.

Arriving at the entrance of the cableway and leaving the cableway, there was still no Qingbi River, but the old trees, peaceful environment, and relaxed air in the mountains silently told us that this place was different.

I followed the steps all the way to find Qingbi River. I circled around the mountains and finally found Qingbi River.

This strange sight in the mountains is as unique as rumored. Three spring pools are formed in the narrow undulating mountains.

The first spring pool has the largest area and the broadest view. The water in the pool is crystal clear, and you can see the stones laid in the pool. There is also a statue of Guanyin deep in the pool.

The second pool has the deepest water, but at the same time it has the smallest area and the strongest color. It is turquoise. There is a cliff above the pool water and there is a waterfall on the cliff. The waterfall is not long, but it is wonderful and ingenious.

The third spring pool is very hidden and can only be viewed from the top. It can only be seen by going to the Cangshan Grand Canyon Observation Deck. Moreover, this is the only place where you can see the third spring pool.

The third spring pool is tightly covered by pine trees, so you can't see the water in the pool, only a dark hole can be seen, so it adds a lot of mystery.

How can Dali's summer romance be without Butterfly Spring? Butterfly Spring is one of the coolest places in Dali in summer. It is a romantic thing to stage a green scene with butterflies in the shade of Butterfly Spring.

Walking into Butterfly Spring, it is full of greenery. Every place in bamboo forests, woods and flowers exudes vitality. Very few butterflies jump between flowers and trees, which makes people feel that this scenery is leisurely and romantic.

Walking deep into the Butterfly Spring, it is as quiet as a secret land isolated from the world, and most of the scenery retains its original appearance.

Lakes, mountains, bluestone paths, springs, woods, flowers, and buildings are combined to shine brightly. Coolness is the most obvious feature of Butterfly Spring this season, and there is a feeling of coolness everywhere.

The winding bluestone path by Lover's Lake is cool and comfortable. The lake on the side of the bluestone path is crystal clear. Koi are swimming, geese and wild ducks are paddling. After walking around, the cool breeze blows, and everything is beautiful. look.

In the whole of Dali, there is no shadow of the prosperous times of Dali State in the Song Dynasty and Nanzhao State in the Tang Dynasty. Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is definitely one of them. Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is a microcosm of Dali and Nanzhao, with the romance and ancient charm of martial arts dramas.

This is a scenic spot born out of a martial arts novel. Its appearance and formation have the same fantasy as martial arts novels.

You can know from the antique gate that Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is different from the others. Sure enough, when you walk into the inner city, everything here is so strange, but so familiar. What is unfamiliar is that it is different from the common scenes in our daily lives. What is familiar is that everything here is so similar to ancient martial arts.

The street is not long or wide, but the houses on both sides of the street are very distinctive. The bungalows and the small two-story wooden buildings have a classical feeling at first glance, reminding people of scenes that often appear in TV dramas at first glance.

There are three main streets in the entire Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, all of which have different styles. The entrance to the city gate is facing Dali Street, the right side of Dali Street is Daliao Street, and the street on the left side of Dali Street is a "martial arts culture" street.

The characteristics of each street are different. The "Internet celebrity buildings" of Tianlong Babu Film and Television City, such as Dali Palace, Duan's Embroidery Tower, and Tianlong Tavern, are scattered in conspicuous positions on every street. You can find them if you get closer.

Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is like a microcosm of Dali State in the Song Dynasty. You can feel the ancient charm of Dali here.

The clouds and fog in Dali's rainy season are unreasonably beautiful. Ximatan is one of them. The clouds and fog in Ximatan are romantic and psychedelic. "Unpredictable and irregular" is the most accurate summary of the characteristics of Ximatan clouds and clouds.

As a lake on the top of a mountain, Ximatan is mysterious and remote. If you want to reach Ximatan, you must first meet the clouds and mist on Cangshan Mountain.

Starting halfway up the mountain, clouds and fog are like a gust of wind, coming and going very fast. They are like a natural barrier protecting Xima Tan. If you want to reach Xima Tan, you must first pass through this thick cloud layer.

Summer clouds and fog are the most uncertain but imaginative scenery in Ximatan. Because it is impossible to predict the time and place when the clouds and fog will appear, we can only passively wait.

Perhaps a gust of wind blew and the clouds quickly gathered, blocking the originally clear sky. Everyone was waiting for a shower shrouded in clouds and mist...

Clouds came, fog came, and rain came. The range of sight that could have been viewed from afar was quickly compressed to within a few meters. The entire Xima Tan was quickly silent. The clouds and clouds were like thousands of troops roaring towards them, full of oppression.

Under the dense fog that rushed in all directions, mountains, houses, lakes, and plank roads were all hidden in the clouds and mist. In a few seconds, the entire Ximatan became a veritable "fairyland on earth."

Although the dense fog blocked the scenery and took away the joy of the soul, the water vapor in the mist gently sprinkled on the face. The ice was cold and very comfortable, bringing comfort to the body.

The clouds and rain came quickly and left quickly. A few minutes later, Ximatan returned to calm, just as it had first seen.

In my opinion, Eryuan West Lake contains the longing and imagination of people on the plateau for the "Jiangnan Water Town"!

This is a Bai village characterized by "water". The village is not large but it is sparse. In addition, the lake area of Eryuan West Lake is very large, so there are very few houses and the lake surface is particularly wide.

Eryuan West Lake is not a "lake" in the true sense. I prefer to call it a wetland because it is in a dam, on the flat ground near the foot of Gaoshan Mountain. There are lake water, meadows, residential buildings, and scenery and more popular.

In the rainy season, Eryuan West Lake is lush with lush water and grass. The lotus ponds exude the fragrance of lotus flowers. Red, pink and white lotus flowers dot it, bringing romance and color that belongs to this season.

A traditional small wooden boat, a clear channel leading to the depths of the meadow, takes people slowly through the water, swaying to admire the lotus pond, passing by the lotus pond to the mysterious area deeper, slowly Enjoy this comfortable environment.

The lake grass is green, the distant mountains are green, the lotus ponds are green, and everything you can see is green. The dazzling green is matched with the clear blue, and the spiritual beauty of Eryuan West Lake is fully displayed.

In my opinion, the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are Dali's "cultural museum". Dali's mythological stories, royal secrets, literature and classics, and handicrafts from the Tang and Song periods can all be heard and seen here.

When I first entered Dali, I believe many people are the same. Their understanding of the three towers of Chongsheng Temple only stays in one name. They only know that they are scenic spots and that three towers are representative buildings. No matter how many there are, there are no more.

When you stand in front of the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, you will be shocked by this huge building complex. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are no longer an illusory name, but become concrete content.

After some in-depth understanding, you will find that there are ancient memories unique to Dali and even Yunnan.

At the Third Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple, when you visit the front of the three towers, you can see with your own eyes the ancient pagoda that has existed for thousands of years, and you can also see the superb skills of Dali craftsmen thousands of years ago.

Walking to the Golden-Winged Bird statue in the Cultural Relics Museum, you will learn about the legend of the "Golden-Winged Bird" guarding Dali and understand why Dali people regard it as a patron saint.

When you walk all the way up and reach the square in front of Chongsheng Temple, you will be shocked by the momentum of this "Royal Temple" that has been passed down by word of mouth.

When you learn that it was destroyed due to war, you will feel sorry, and you will also hear the selfless dedication of the god in the palace, the Great Black Sky God, who swallowed the plague in order to save the people of Dali.

In front of various majestic and upright halls, the brightly colored glazed tiles and thick pillars will give people a sense of oppression and make people feel that Chongsheng Temple has a majestic righteousness.

Starting from the main entrance of the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, various buildings and flowers and plants are sending a message that the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are different!

Dali is full of places that make people addicted. There are sea of flowers, blue skies, white clouds, and at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, people living and working in peace and contentment along the Erhai Lake. Dali seems to be a colorful ancient painting that still shines after thousands of years.

Dali is a city that blends the old and the new. Its new embodiment is its integration with the times. Its old embodiment is that under the impact of modern civilization, the buildings and cultures that have existed in these cities for thousands of years are still preserved. Very well.

The ancient city of Dali and the ancient town of Xizhou are one of the most surprising places in the city.

The free life of the ancient city, the leisure exuding in any corner, coupled with the mountains and waters of Dali, we all yearn to be at ease in the ancient city of Dali.

People traveling between ancient cities and ancient towns have become very slow, because they are afraid of missing every minute and every scene here.

Wandering in ancient cities or ancient towns regardless of their destination, encountering cats deep in alleys and fish in streams, I envy them all the time.

Life here is slow and interesting, life is simple but full of fireworks. Everything here seems to have no worries or worries. This is true for people, animals, and mountains and rivers. Perhaps this is why many people never leave again when they come to Dali.

Attractions: Dali Ancient City, Xizhou Ancient Town

Dali's romance is endless, Dali's beautiful scenery is endless, Dali's fireworks life continues, batches of people come and go, walk and come again, and there is always a corner in their hearts that cares about Dali, just like me!
