When the morning light is accompanied by the first ray of sunshine, it gently shines into the room through the thin curtains
The warm yellow light gently caressed my hazy sleepy eyes
opened his eyes slightly
What comes into view is the soft light
It won't hurt at all
The Erhai Lake in the morning light rippled with gold and red under the rising sun
The waves accompanied by the waves gently beat the gravel on the shore and made waves
Lying on the bed, I reached out my hand to face the light
Trying to catch the silky smooth and soft sunshine
But those silky lights are like playful children
Slit as light as flowing water
Sneak away silently through your fingers
been to
without leaving a trace.

Impression-Dali Morning








The noon sun is no longer as soft and delicate as a newborn in the morning
The sun is like a proud bull
It's like the whole world is shining with a hot and strong light
sun is like a fire
The air is filled with the water vapor from the lake under the scorching sun
Seems a little boring and a little dry
sweating
at this moment
I just want a cold drink
Sitting in the shade by the Erhai Lake doing nothing, quietly looking at the pool of blue
Look at the wind on the lake
Bringing the lake water up waves
And it was also that gust of wind
How much of her hair has been blown away
How many tempting skirts blow

Impression--Dali noon








Time passed quietly
The sun at this time is no longer as bright as it is at noon
It gives people more of a warm feeling
Take care of you gently like parents
It is a kind of warmth that makes people happy
It was a kind of reassuring warmth
Sitting in a small boat
The waves slowly sway the ship
It's like sleeping in my mother's rocking cradle as a child
Looking foolishly at the yellow incandescent lamp is like the sunshine at this moment
The warm yellow light is so gentle
so warm
The gentle lake wind is like a mother's smooth hands caressing her face
Accompanied by the soft singing of the waves like a lullaby
Erhai Lake
For Dali people,
She is not their mother
With her warm and gentle embrace
Raising that person

Impression--Sunset in Dali








As the sky gradually becomes dark
The entire Erhai Lake seems to be free of the hustle and bustle of the day
The lake breeze blows gently at night
The waves still beat the coast tirelessly
Insects are playing softly in the grass
Soft footsteps broke into the messy grass like an unexpected guest
The dewdrops brought down by footsteps may have hit a low-pitched insect and interrupted its performance
The rustling sounds in the still night
Like lovers leaning against each other in the night whisper in each other's ears
Everything is so close but it seems so untrue
Forgot where I was
Forgot where I wanted to go
It's completely dark
The stars in the sky began to wink playfully at the people on the ground
Standing on the balcony outside the room
look up at the stars
The stars in the sky seem to make people a little dizzy
in this way
stood there in a daze
This is the magic of the stars
Let people forget everything in the world
In that illusory and ethereal space
just stood there
this moment
The wind is still blowing gently
The waves are still caressing the shore
The insect still sings softly
and I
Lost in this vast and deep starry sky

Impression-Dali Night

One weekend, after a busy week of documentary filming in Yunnan, I finally had a spare weekend to have a good rest. It was the first time I met such a kind and enthusiastic customer who said that after a hard week, we would like to relax in Yunnan for a weekend vacation and then return to Chengdu. Under the customer's enthusiastic suggestions and arrangements, we finally decided to spend this leisure weekend in Dali, near the filming of the documentary.
Cars are traveling along the winding mountainous roads in Yunnan. May is a busy season in Yunnan. The farmland around Dali is beginning to fill with water, and hard-working farmers are beginning to prepare for planting rice. A paddy field reflected the pure blue sky. Occasionally, a white cloud floated through the reflection, which was suddenly broken by the ripples stirred by the muddy feet in the field. Pairs of hands covered with soil carefully inserted clusters of seedlings into the field, as if treating one's own children, so gentle and careful. A group of children were playing and chasing on the ridge of the fields, and the puppies were not willing to be outdone and followed the children's figures playing and chasing. The fresh air is mixed with the smell of earth. The green grass on the roadside is strung up with the sun. The small flower proudly raises its head towards the sun and gently rocks in the wind, as if to be waving friendly to passers-by. In May, everything is so vibrant.

After a 2-hour drive, I finally arrived in Dali. The last time I was in Dali seemed to be 5 years ago. I still remember that time I rode a bicycle on the roadside with my ghost girl under the scorching sun. It was so hot that I didn't know anything. I only remember that the burning clouds in the sky were particularly beautiful. Time really flies, and it's gone in a flash of five years. Dali, which has been praising for five years, seems to be a little unfamiliar to me. Hotels and inns have sprung up like bamboo shoots, and there are many more tourists than before. Of course, what remains unchanged is still the Cangshan Erhai Lake and the Dali sunshine!
Dali, I'm here again ~~!



At noon, I arrived at the hotel arranged by the customer, Shuiyun Flower Shop Resort Hotel located on the beach of Xizhou Town. Before coming to Dali, a customer once asked me if I wanted to live in a quieter place or a lively place. After thinking about it for a moment, I am a person of my age and no longer like when I was young. I should find a quiet place to rest. So he helped me arrange this hotel along the Erhai Lake. The blue-and-white theme looks clean and tidy

There are many flowers planted on the terrace at the door. It should be nice to sit on the terrace and bask in the sun.

It seems to give people the feeling of facing the sea and blooming flowers in warm spring

After entering the hotel, the staff told me at first that the customer had arranged this room for me. When I saw it, I was shocked. Although Brother Mao often takes pictures and runs outside, he basically stays in business hotels. Sometimes, he even stays in guest houses in places with the worst conditions. This seems a bit too pompous for me, haha. It's completely out of Brother Cat's style.





Living in this room alone seemed a bit exaggerated. I quietly asked the waiter about the price of the room. It didn't seem cheap. Although it was arranged by the customer, I still felt that it was a bit too exaggerated. If I brought a ghost girl next time, I would stay in this room. So I told the staff to change to a low-key room.

In the end, I changed it to this room, which made my conscience feel better. Although it was a guest treat, it was not easy to make it so pompous. Love the blue and white color of this room, just like the colors of the Greek Aegean Sea. The furnishings of the room are still quite exquisite. Outside the window is the Erhai Lake. It actually feels quite good. In fact, this is the first time Brother Mao has lived in such a foreign room, and the ghost girl is not here. The room where I spent my honeymoon with Ghost Girl didn't seem to have a foreign atmosphere... hey

..
...............



There is a huge bathtub next to the window, and it's still a bit of feeling to soak in the bathtub and count stars at night...

As soon as the food was put in, the waiter served freshly washed nectarines. A small surprise, the service at this hotel seemed to be quite good. Nectarines are very fresh and crispy, which tastes better than the ones I bought in Panzhihua some time ago.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows in the hotel present a very beautiful landscape through the glass frame.
After settling things in the hotel, we can start today's trip around the Erhai Lake. I took a boat to Yuji Island where Shuanglang is now located. There is more flashy and less simplicity. Shuanglang, the mysterious place mentioned in many travel notes and guides, decided to look for it again today.



Drive slowly from the hotel along the narrow Huanhai Road. The scenery along the way is actually similar. On the right side of the road is Erhai Lake, and on the left is a rice field filled with water. Not far north of the hotel is a place called Sea Tongue Park. You can park your car for ten yuan and go in for a walk. In fact, the scenery is similar to the outside. I don't know if it is the season or what, but there are many field snails dead on the waterfront of Haitang Park. Although the scenery is still good, the stench that comes in with the wind still makes people want to escape this place as soon as possible.



Someone's bicycle was parked alone on the shore. Maybe this is also a kind of waiting.





In fact, I really like the photo of the back above











Walking along the Huanhai Highway in the direction of Shuanglang, the scorching sun is high, and the hot noon air makes people feel a little suffocating. They can only keep drinking big mouthfuls of water to lower their temperature. This is the Erhai Lake at noon. This is the case in Yunnan. It is extremely cold in the morning and evening, and it is hotter at noon when the sun is strong than in summer in Chengdu. The sun's scorching ultraviolet rays ruthlessly bombarded the skin on your body. Under such strong sunlight, if you don't have sunscreen, half an hour of exposure can make you peel off a layer of skin the next day.
In Dali, the scorching sun is high at noon. The most suitable thing to do is to find an exquisite small cafe by the Erhai Lake. The shade of trees in the small courtyard without direct sunlight seems to isolate the surroundings into two worlds. Sitting on the recliner, the blooming flowers around you look so beautiful in the sun. Playing the music you love most is in your headphones, flipping through a book in your hand, and serving a cold drink. In one sip, it will be heart-cold. That's a bowl of shaved ice powder...

After dragging all the way, we still arrived at Shuanglang Town, still burning brightly. There are so many tourists on the double corridors during the day that traffic control is implemented at the entrance of the town and vehicles are not allowed to enter the town. There are many parking lots on both sides of the road outside the town. Parking for a car costs 20 yuan. As a result, basically every parking lot is full. It seems that Shuanglang is indeed very famous and there are too many people here.

Not far away are Yuji Island and Nanzhao Style Island

I like this blue, pure blue, without any impurities. The white clouds floated in the air like soft cotton, writhing and constantly changing shapes. The blue lake water faintly reflects the blue sky and the traces of white. The air is still hot and the lake breeze is still strong.

I happened to meet this cute little guy by the lake. His cute eyes can make people cute. For the first time, I discovered that the donkey is also very sticky. When you walk in it, it will actively approach you, then let you touch its head and lick your hand. The fur on the donkey's body is not as thick as imagined, but rather soft, especially the fur on its ears. It is fluffy and very comfortable to touch. Wherever you go, it follows you, gently pressing its head against your hand, as if begging you to feed it a carrot.



tease

Hey hey hey, take another selfie,



In the afternoon, many people are swimming in the Erhai Lake. I wonder if there is any rule that you cannot swim. Unfortunately, I didn't know I didn't bring swimming trunks this time, otherwise I would have jumped in and swam around.

The sun gradually turned west, and we slowly wandered into the town with double corridors. I don't know if I'm in the wrong place or why, but the Shuanglang is completely different from what I expected. The narrow and chaotic streets, dilapidated buildings, and completely different from the legendary town full of petty bourgeoisie.

Ancient buildings, complicated wires, narrow alleys, blooming flowers, and of course soft sunshine. It turns out that this is a double corridor











There are too many such alleys in Shuanglang, which makes people lose themselves. In the distance, there is the Erhai Lake reflecting the golden sunset, where the sparkling light is scattered. Two mottled old walls sandwich a narrow alley. Children are playing and playing in the alley under the sun. The lazy dog was lying in front of the old house door, dozing off. Several tourists who break in from time to time take photos everywhere with cameras. From the walls of those old houses, unknown flowers proudly raised their heads and faced the sun. The golden sunshine outlined a bright golden edge on the petals, and the tender green leaves reminded us all the time. This place is full of vitality.



I like this blue, pure blue, spotless purity



Walking to Yuji Island, you can see many such small bars and inns. The tone is all the same. What we are waiting for is those crazy men and women, full of expectation, to have a beautiful encounter here. Encounter a beautiful memory.







The sun gradually began to set. As the atmosphere filtered out the ultraviolet rays in the sun, the sun slowly turned golden at this time. Sitting on a small boat, I saw the houses on the shore slowly being stained by the sun. A layer of faint yellow light. At this time, the sun was no longer so dazzling, and the air was no longer so hot. Looking at the sun that is about to set, it is a warm feeling, soft sunshine.























I love the light under the sunset most, the whole world is dyed gold. The warm feeling of yellow, orange and orange. It makes people feel happy. It turns out that the sunset in Erhai Lake is so beautiful.

The beauty of the sunset is always short-lived, and night falls so fast that the Erhai Lake without the sun seems to have quieted down at once. Without the hustle and bustle of the day, the temperature is no longer as hot as during the day. Instead, it feels a little cold under the lake wind. The stars in the sky began to blink. Light pollution in the Erhai Lake is still relatively serious. The lights and street lights in the distance caused many stars to be submerged in this artificial light and shadow.

Walking slowly back to the hotel along the road around the lake, the water, clouds and flowers room were already brightly lit at night...

The bright lobby gives people the feeling of home

Go back to the room, put a jar of water, take a bath, and soak away all the fatigue and dust







The night was deep and there were stars outside the window. The light pollution seemed to be much better than before, and there were many more stars that could be seen. The whole world seemed to have quieted down. So quiet that you can hear your own breathing and heartbeat. It was so quiet that you could feel the subtle changes in the environment around you. Under the action of the wind, the lake water is still beating tirelessly against the shore. Occasionally, dogs barking can be heard from the distant village, and insects are still singing softly in the grass. Standing in front of this window, looking up at the stars, the lake wind caressing your face. My heart is calm, there are no complicated thoughts, no pressure, no baggage, no worries, nothing. This night, there is only myself and the beautiful Erhai Lake under the stars.

In the early morning, the indigo sky was slowly dyed with a purple-red color by the red under the horizon. Lying on the big bed, I saw the purple-red sky outside the window with my sleepy eyes. In the confusion, a bright spot emerged from the distant mountain top. The sunlight, through the thin curtains, turned on the lights in the room so soft and warm. The splash of water on the lake reflected the sunlight and formed a sparkling projection on the ceiling. Lying on the bed and looking at the time above my head, I suddenly couldn't tell where I was, as if I were underwater.

Get up, take a bath, and a new day begins in the sunshine.

A bowl of authentic Yunnan Er Si. At today's breakfast, the Er Si taste a little strange. It is not as Q as noodles, nor is it as crunchy as rice noodles. It feels a little glutinous. You may not be used to eating at first. The minced meat with pickled cabbage and roasted pork tastes quite good.



After breakfast, I sat by the edge of the Erhai Lake and rested. It was actually quite great to be in a daze. The lazy sunshine shines on my body and feels warm. Making a cup of tea, half-squinting his eyes, there was quietly a novel that I didn't know who had read.

The telescope by the window is a good place to look at the stars at night. This is the first time I saw Saturn's magnificent rings here.





When heading to the ancient city, under the sun, there was a sudden illusion. The flowers on the street suddenly gave people the feeling of arriving in Chiang Mai. It's just that the music playing in those tambourine shops on the street seemed to pull me back to Lijiang... Hehe, here is the same as Lijiang, where the tambourine shops on the street still play that song repeatedly... In a flash... can you change it to something new...



In fact, the ancient city of Dali feels cleaner than the double corridors, and there are still many tourists. All kinds of small shops are beautiful everywhere. In fact, it feels quite similar to Lijiang, but it is not as overly commercialized as Lijiang today.

The abundant sunshine makes this place a paradise for succulent plants. There are all kinds of succulent plants everywhere.













In fact, people like the ancient city of Dali a lot. Compared with Lijiang's over-development, it is relatively better here.















Although a weekend is short, it is still great to take a good vacation in this sunny place while taking a break from your busy schedule. I like this kind of leisure time, without the pressure of work, and without the worries of life. Calm down and slow down. In this place with warm sunshine, search carefully and taste. That one belongs to my own Dali and my own Erhai Lake.




The weekend was short, and the weather was still as good on the plane back to Chengdu. Suddenly I looked up and saw a beautiful solar halo hanging outside the window.
remember
In the morning light, the soft sunshine woke me up from my sleep
Under the scorching sun, the intoxicating lake wind caressed my face
In the sunset glow, the golden light enshrouded me gently
Under the stars and the mysterious sky, I am lost here
Goodbye, beautiful Dali
Goodbye, the intoxicating Erhai Lake
