The cool autumn is coming, and I suddenly want to go to a gentle city to start the beauty of early autumn. It has both the secrets of isolating the busy city and the comfort of pastoral life. Dali seems to be the most suitable one.

Bypass the colorful lights of the bustling city and enjoy the daily leisure of romantic Dali. For many people, Dali is like a utopia far away from the chaos of the secular world, where they can always find the life they most desire.

But in fact, in Dali, in addition to the romantic scenery, there is still a trace of leisure and leisure. In addition to going to Cangshan and Erhai, there are also many small and low-key treasure destinations, which are equally fascinating.

Eryuan West Lake, a natural lake with beautiful scenery

Although I have been to Dali no less than ten times, I have met Eryuan West Lake for the first time. If there is time, it is recommended to come here early in the morning to catch a sunrise and watch the sun rise slowly from the other side of the mountain.

Eryuan West Lake, also known as Dali West Lake, is only more than 40 kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali. When I first stepped into the gate, I was attracted by the scenery in front of me. Although summer has passed, it seems that the summer scenery still remains here.

"There is a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Outside, there are four mountains surrounded by green mountains, and Juexizi Lake is inverted below it." This was Xu Xiake's sigh when he was sailing on Eryuan West Lake, which made people want to find out. However, what he felt when he saw it with his own eyes was beyond words.

In autumn, lotus flowers in many places have withered. Only here can you see lotus flowers hidden under lotus leaves, as if they want to continue to retain this irrepeatable summer.

"One flower blooms for two seasons, monopolizing summer and autumn light." Perhaps only lotus flowers can do this. Standing on the bridge and looking into the distance, you can see Cangshan Mountain, and the nearby West Lake and pavilions are also enough to have a panoramic view.

In addition, you can also take a wooden boat across the lake. The lake is extremely clear, and you can still see small fish wandering at the bottom of the lake from time to time.

There are actually six villages and one island in Eryuan West Lake. If you look at it from an aerial photo perspective, you will find that this is a beautiful natural lake painting with lakes in the village and villages in the lake.

The most commendable thing is that it does not have the commercial atmosphere of Hangzhou West Lake in the middle of a busy city. Although it has also been developed into a scenic spot, the residents living nearby have always enjoyed the original pace of life and have not been affected at all.

Even the small boat they ride is actually a means of transportation for local villagers in their daily production and life. These scenery that we regard as luxuries in front of us have long been accustomed to in the eyes of local people. I have to say that life here is really happy.

Looking around and forgetting, at the other end of the lake bank are houses with blue tiles and white walls, with scattered heights and heights, quite the tenderness of a Jiangnan water town.

The beautiful and quiet environment allows everyone who comes here to relax. The beauty of the West Lake is more like a pot of freshly brewed jasmine tea. It is fresh and elegant, making people have endless aftertaste.

Perhaps in everyone's heart, there will be a feeling of water town. The hustle and bustle are all foil, just to enjoy the freedom and freedom.

Hongsheng Road leading directly to Erhai Lake

Before coming to Hongsheng Road, you might think, like me, that it was just an ordinary road. But when you stand on the roadside and see the entire road stretching straight to the Erhai Lake in the distance, you will be instantly shocked.

The road is near Dali University, making it easy to get there by bus or taxi. Fortunately, the weather is good, and you can directly see the road and Erhai Lake in the distance.

Find the highest point of the entire road first. There are relatively few vehicles, but you must also pay attention to safety during the photo taking process. Photos with the road can be taken in minutes, and it is worthy of being known as the most beautiful road in Dali.

If the equipment supports it, it is recommended to bring a telephoto lens, which will make the visual effect even more unexpected.

When you come here to take photos, clothes with simple colors and solid colors are the most suitable. When there are no vehicles passing by, it is a good time to take photos. No matter what style you take, the road can be driven.

It is also necessary to conceive a photo pose in advance before taking a photo. Of course, if you really don't think of a suitable one, you can pretend to walk around at will, and you can also take good photos by taking photos.

It is an ideal place to take photos

The first time I learned that I had accidentally seen it while playing with my mobile phone at home, and I was immediately attracted by the architectural style here. This time when I came to Dali, I certainly wouldn't miss it.

In fact, long before the opening, many people made a special trip to take photos and check in, and even some newlyweds chose to come here to take wedding photos.

The first impression given by Ideal State is that it is mixed-up, fantasy, alternative, full of sculpture, and all buildings are unique, and walking in it feels like it exudes a ubiquitous artistic atmosphere.

Ideal Bang Town is divided into three sections, including: a theme area with the Sea of Love Architectural Style, a privately customized inn area and a Cliff Hotel Commercial District. It will be open to the public for free in late April this year.

The town is built against a mountain, so there are many steps, and flowers are planted on both sides of the street. Even the air is filled with the sweet smell of flowers.

Every building breaks the traditional architectural style and seems to grow naturally, revealing a kind of freedom and randomness everywhere.

It is said that the designers and owners of the Ideal State finally built the Ideal State through careful planning, design, and construction after special on-site inspections of dozens of traditional settlements in Europe.

The compact layout that follows the mountains can bring the magical effect of changing scenery. The wonderful combination of white and earth color subtly creates a sense of familiarity and strangeness, making people unable to help but have the urge to explore.

The curved building with blue sky and white clouds is undoubtedly the best photo angle. The town is not very big, but it is beautiful and quiet.

Walking and stopping all the way, looking at the scenery and taking beautiful photos. In a trance, I really feel like I have come to Santorini.

Mysterious wild attraction Luwo Mountain

What is the meaning of travel? Sometimes I take beautiful photos, sometimes I taste special food, and sometimes I may just appreciate the current scenery.

In Dali, there is such a place called Luwo Mountain. Many people may be unfamiliar to hearing this name, but it is located on the west of Huanhaidong Road, which many people know.

When you come to the top of Luwo Mountain, you have a super wide view, overlooking Cangshan and Erhai Lake. The green plants in the mountains are also very eye-catching.

If you are driving by yourself, you can get off the highway, go straight ahead to Huanhai Road, and then drive to Huaner Road on the right to reach this section of Huanhaidong Road, where you can see many scenery.

To be precise, the entire Luwo Mountain Site is located on the road from Shuanglang Town to Wose Town. When you see many cars parked on the roadside, it is almost here.

This place is divided into the west, north and south areas. In the south area, there are the most primitive caves. Many photos taking beautiful scenery of cliffs actually come from here, and almost many people who take wedding photos also choose this place.

The window frame of Internet celebrities is also the best place to take photos, but when you come in the afternoon, you need to reserve time, and there are still many people lining up.

Wearing a beautiful dress, you just need to sit there, making it look like a young girl with oil painting.

The combination of broken walls and window frames makes it particularly beautiful to take photos whether it is cloudy or near dusk. Of course, the overall feeling of the photo will be different when the weather is different.

Keep walking forward and you will approach the seaside. This place is relatively secluded. There are several dense trees on the coast, but at the same time, it also seems extremely quiet.

Walking on the beach platform and feeling the breeze blowing on your face is very comfortable.

In the distance is the blue Erhai Lake and nearby are green trees. You can do nothing at this moment, but you can't forget to look at the scenery.

Super cured Xizhou rice fields

The sky is transparent blue, and the rice fields in Xizhou are full of pastoral freshness. I can't help but want to feel the beauty of the present with a wandering mood and record the scenery at this moment with my eyes.

The small Xizhou rice field allows so many tourists to come here to rest and take photos, even if they are separated by several mountains and seas, precisely because there is real life here.

Walking through the rice fields under the blue sky and white clouds, listening to the chirping of cicadas, the faint fragrance of rice wafts from time to time in the wind.

You can also cross the crisscrossing paths in the fields and go deep into the rice fields. You will really fall in love with this healing and hopeful place.

The yellow walls in the rice fields are also super show-out. Coming near 6 o'clock in the evening, the light is soft and it is super suitable for taking photos.

Surrounded by the fast-paced life and work in the city and moving forward, after a long time, I naturally desire to steal the comfort of a half-day leisure.

September is no longer hot or cold yet. The rice fields are gradually turning golden. Here, the flow of time seems to be slowing down. Watching the clouds and listening to the wind are the most important things.

Walking on the ridge, there are scenery everywhere you can see, and the fragrance of rice flowers floating in the air from time to time is unforgettable.

Xizhou really has a magic power. At the end of the rice fields is the Bai village. This is the most famous boutique inn in Xizhou,"Xilin Garden". Many foreign tourists come to Xilin Garden.

Of course, what moved me even more was that the rice fields, houses and intertwined paths in front of me had a natural and simple beauty.

Romantic and literary petal sea view B & B

Dali is like a treasure pavilion. A "god-like" B & B will come out every now and then. On the edge of the Erhai Lake between Xizhou Ancient Town and Taoyuan Wharf, there is a beautiful garden B & B. I fell in love with it at first sight and could enjoy the joy of facing the Erhai Lake.

Petal Sea, just by listening to its name, you can probably guess that there are many flowers planted here. It is a literary and romantic place. The location of the B & B is also great, with just the right height to overlook the Erhai Lake.

Just being in the courtyard outside the B & B is surprising enough. The courtyard is full of flowers and nearly 40,000 little white daisies. There should be no girl who wouldn't be tempted.

It is also easy to drive here by car, and there is also an exclusive parking space. The staff of the B & B are basically all Bai indigenous people in the village. They have a good service attitude and give people a very comfortable feeling.

Walking into the lobby of the B & B, the decoration style is even more warm. Everything is designed in a simple style. The art decorations that can be seen everywhere are not gorgeous, but they will feel like home.

There is also a place to drink tea and chat in the public areas of the B & B. Under the warm yellow light, it always gives people an extreme sense of security.

Walking into the room, it was big but not empty, with lush green plants hidden outside the window. You can breathe the fresh air when you open the window. The warm colors and the comfortable queen bed can make people feel completely relaxed, so they can sleep well with peace of mind.

Walking out of the garden of the B & B is a highway around the sea. There is also a wetland beside the Erhai Lake. When sunset approaches, you can stay by the lake and watch the sun set little by little. It is extremely beautiful.
