During the epidemic, it is impossible to travel abroad. In winter, if you want to avoid the cold, you don't need to go to Sanya. Dali, Yunnan has a different charm. Although it does not rely on the sea, it has a kind of slow tone of a coastal city. Do you want to experience it?

If you want to travel to Dali, how can you do it? The ancient city, Cangshan Mountain, and Erhai Lake are all tempting directions. How can we play when we go to Dali? What to eat for tourism in Dali? Where do you live? Next, I will answer you one by one.

Coming to Dali is definitely the same as Sanya. You need to slow down and enjoy it. The first thing is to choose a good hotel and stay comfortably for a few days.

A hearty breakfast starts the day off.

This time, I chose to stay in Dali Tinghuatang Huaqihiro Dali Erhai Shuiliandong Store. I have to say that it was really the right choice to stay here for three days.

The hotel itself is an Internet celebrity hotel, but when you come here in winter, it is still full of flowers.

Walking into the hotel, everything was decorated with extra care

There are many spaces here suitable for taking photos, such as this round sunken sofa, which is very suitable for checking in with friends to take photos.

Next to it is a book bar. If you have time, it is good to read quietly.

One of the biggest features of the hotel is that it grows a large number of flowers. It was already very good for us to come and bloom in winter, but I don't know what other seasons will come. Are there flowers again?

Succulent plants are also well cultivated

The reason why it is called Water Curtain Cave is because there is really a cave on the mountain wall behind the hotel. When you walk in, you will find a small tent outside that is very suitable for checking in and taking photos, and the Water Curtain Cave inside.

There is also a small pool similar to Cotton Castle in Turkey, which is also very suitable for taking photos. It can be a large pool in minutes!

You can still see passion fruits when you come to the yard

Sitting in the small courtyard of the B & B, when a breeze blows, you can see the flowers around you swaying in the wind

Winter in Dali blooms in the wind even in the coldest times, giving people a sense of vitality and wealth.

When I come to Dali, I find a B & B near the lake and sit leisurely and watch the Cangshan and Erhai under the sunset. It is really a pleasant thing.

I will always love it here. I love the air here. It is fresh and free. I love the falling flowers in front of the court. I love the clouds in the sky. The warblers fly and the grass grow, and the insects sing and birds sing. Everything is so beautiful.

If you live in a room on the top floor, the invincible 270-degree sea view will definitely impress you, and Cangshan and Erhai can become the background of your room ~

The pink room, the oversized round bathtub, everything is so romantic.

When you live here, the pressure will naturally disappear. It is a good place to let go and recharge your batteries for a vacation. Do you want to stay for the night?

The Shuanglang near the B & B is a paradise left behind by the Erhai Lake. It is cleaner than Lijiang and more affectionate than Dali. No one who has been there does not love it. Carrying Cangshan Mountain and facing the Erhai Lake, the Double Corridor is definitely a place worth visiting.

"The scenery of Dali is in Cang 'er, and the scenery of Cang' er is in the Double Corridor." Being in the Double Corridor, the door welcomes the blue waves of Erhai Lake and overlooking the 19th Peak of Cangshan Mountain, it can be said to embody the essence of Cang 'er scenery.

Shuanglang turned out to be just an ordinary fishing village on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake. Because of its unique geographical location, tourism has caused this small fishing village to undergo earth-shaking changes and become a famous tourist town in Dali, attracting countless tourists every day.

When you come to Shuanglang in winter, you can see swarms of seagulls. Bring some bread and you can "express condolences" to these friends who have come from afar.

Shuanglang is a small fishing village, but it is not as small as you think. Several villages along the Erhai Lake are full of inns, all of which are dazzling. Each inn has distinctive characteristics and is hidden at the end of the alley, silently interpreting the idle life of tourists on vacation in the double corridors.

Here you can also be in a daze, read books, listen to music, face the Erhai Lake, and look at Cangshan Mountain.

The unique patterns on the local Bai houses attracted many people.

Standing by the seaside of the Shuanglang Mountains, you can see Cangshan Mountain when you look up and you can see Erhai Lake when you look down. The sparkling light shines in the sparkling light, dazzling like a mirror. The native villagers have quietly relied on the Erhai Lake to fish for generations for thousands of years, and witnessed the "wind, flowers, snow, and moon" of Dali day after day through the vicissitudes of time.

Walking around the double corridors, I arrived at the edge of the Erhai Lake in a short while. The blue sky and water surface almost blinded my eyes. There was a feeling of "bright and touching". Water was still constantly gushing out on the edge of the Erhai Lake. I felt like I was adding oxygen here.

It naturally reveals literary and artistic style here, and poetry and distance can be found here.

As the sun sets, the afterglow shines on the surface of the Erhai Lake, reflecting a charming light. After making a check in front of the landmark building, I began to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the double corridors as if on a hurry.

Needless to say, the island style here is not to mention. What excites tourists the most is the very beautifully decorated specialty shops next to each other, selling clothes, jewelry, specialty snacks, etc., which are really overwhelmed.

A book for an afternoon is really comfortable ~

Walking through the alleys of Bai people's houses, you will always find some small shops with unique artistic conception and various coffee and snack shops. When the flowers bloom in spring and sunny days, you can meet the most beautiful double corridors.

And when you have been to the romantic double corridors, the tranquility and beauty of Xizhou will surely impress you. Xizhou is the largest town in the northern part of Dali in the northwest of Yunnan Province. Viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a simple and elegant city, more like a huge museum of residential buildings.

In addition to leisure and slow life, exquisite B & Bs, and simple customs, Xizhou is the birthplace of Dali culture. Today, you can still experience farming culture, see handicrafts with national characteristics, and experience thousands of years in Xizhou. Cultural precipitation.

Xizhou Ancient Town is not big. Although many attractions are marked on the map, when you come here, you will find attractions everywhere.

Xizhou maintains the most and best Bai residential buildings, many of which date from the Ming, Qing and Republic of China periods. It is no exaggeration to say that the ancient buildings in Xizhou are a microcosm of Bai architectural culture. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there was Yang Shiyun's Qichi Bookbuilding, in the Qing Dynasty, there was Zhao Tingjun's Courtyard, and in the Republic of China, there were Yan Zizhen's Courtyard, Dong Chengnong's Courtyard, etc.

Walking in the ancient town of Xizhou, walking on the ancient Qingshiban Road, and watching the Bai elderly wearing local ethnic costumes shuttle back and forth, it is like entering another world. Time stays here, and life seems so slow.

[There are also historical photos on the street]

Sifang Street, the center of the Xizhou crackdown, is a small square surrounded by shops. Outside it are various complicated streets.

Compared with the bustling ancient city of Dali and Shuanglang, it is completely different.

A lot of people like to check in and take photos

When you come to Dali, don't forget to come to Xizhou Ancient Town to explore the ancient world, experience the vicissitudes and changes of the town's ancient and modern history, and appreciate the colorful folk customs of the Bai people in Dali. It is as if you are appreciating a painting that embodies the thousands of years of history of the Bai people. Mottled, antique ink painting.

In Xizhou Ancient Town, find a quiet place to place this restful heart.

Address: Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture
Opening hours: The ancient town is open all day long, 8:30-17:30, and 8:00-18:00 in Yan Family Residence
Transportation: Take the China-Brazil bus bound for Xizhou in the ancient city of Dali or Xiaguan, and stop immediately along the Dian-Tibet Highway. The fare is 5-8 yuan.

In the evening, when you come near Xiaoputuo, you can also see a small group of seagulls here. Moreover, you can also enjoy the beautiful sunset from this location not far from the B & B.

Legend has it that when Guanyin opened the Dali Dam, she left a seal of Zhenhai on the eastern surface of the Erhai Lake, turning it into a small island to suppress wind and waves and protect fishermen. Therefore, the fishermen built Guanyin Pavilion on the small island to commemorate Guanyin, and named a fishing village in the east of the island Haiyin Village, called the small island Xiaoputuo Mountain, and called Guanyin Pavilion Xiaoputuo, which means the place where Guanyin practiced.

Xiaoputuo is only more than 200 meters long in circumference and is entirely composed of limestone. Its shape is much like a round seal. If Erhai Lake is compared to a painting, then the location of Little Putuo is exactly where the seal was placed, so it is also called Haiyin.

Probably during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, nearby fishermen donated money to build a two-story pavilion on the island on top of Xie Mountain, where a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was enshrined, so the people called it Guanyin Pavilion.

The next day, we drove for two hours to go to Shaxi, a distant ancient town. Some people say that Shaxi Ancient Town is different from Lijiang in Dali, it is simple and comfortable, and they want to live for a long time when they come. At that time, I didn't know much about Shaxi, but the name was rooted in my heart.

Perhaps, when you visited Dali and Lijiang, you had already passed by in a hurry. But you haven't really gotten to know her.

Shaxi is an ancient town with a long history of thousands of years, dating back to the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period more than 2400 years ago.
It can be seen from the ancient tombs in Aofengshan and the Huacongshan copper mine site in the east of Shaxi that as early as more than 400 years BC, Shaxi formed a bronze smelting and production base centered on the Heiyan River.

Shaxi Ancient Town is known as "the only surviving ancient market on the Ancient Tea Horse Road." It is located in the southeast of Jianchuan in Dali, and in the southeast of the Jinsha River, Lancang River and Nujiang River parallel nature reserve. Between the ancient city of Dali and the ancient city of Lijiang, it is the key point for the ancient tea-horse ancient road to enter Tibet.

Shaxi Ancient Town is not big. Strictly speaking, there are only three to five "attractions". It is enough to just take photos and check in for half a day, but if you want to have a vacation in peace, it is worth spending some time walking slowly.

Stroll along the quiet Qingshiban Road in Shaxi Ancient Town. There are simple buildings on both sides and a gurgling stream flowing through the middle. Climb the ancient stage in the town, look at the shops and horse shops on Sifang Street, walk up the Yujin Bridge on the Heihui River, visit Xingjiao Temple, listen to the ancient music of the Shaxi Cave Sutra, experience the charm of the ancient national and ancient music, and try Shaxi local specialties of ginseng seeds, matsutake, and goat milk cakes. Shaxi Town is the place I feel is the most worth staying at a slow pace for a few days. The simple and peaceful town does not have the crowded crowds and commercial atmosphere of Lijiang Dali. It is quiet, simple and fresh. In the afternoon shower, I sat quietly in a small restaurant to eat, and the air smelled of flowers.

[City Gate Made of Mud Brick]
The stockade gate of Shaxi Ancient Town may be beyond your imagination. There are three gates in Shaxi Sideng Ancient Street, namely, Dongzhai Gate leading to Dali area, Nanzhai Gate connecting Yanjing in western Yunnan in the south and west of the ancient town, and Beizhai Gate leading to Xizang area. Among them, Dongzhai Gate is built of adobe and can only accommodate two horses to pass through. This is Dongzhai Gate, which is called Jiezimen by local people. Once you enter this gate, you will be the market.

Today, there is also a horse beside the bridge for tourists to pose for photos.

The stone lion at the bridge has become blurred, as if it tells the story of the prosperity and prosperity of the horse gang years.

The ancient stage is three-story high, with a stage in front and Kuixing Pavilion in behind. Kuixing Pavilion is the place where the local Bai people worship Kuixing. The building has an exquisite structure, with twelve corners and wings like flying.

[Wood carvings can be seen everywhere, it is a characteristic of Jianchuan]

[Many shops hang houses full of bacon]

[The ancient town is not big, lying quietly among the mountains]

After that, you might as well come to the edge of Sword Lake, which is like a small Erhai Lake.

Sword Lake is not big, but it is beautiful all year round. The reflection on the lake is also beautiful, as if it makes people walk into a picture.

In addition, the pastoral scenery around Jianhu is also so beautiful that people can't move away! This place is so beautiful!

After staying in Dali for a few days, I left with a feeling that I was still unfinished. After reading this guide, do you want to come and take a look?
