The wind is blowing. Dali in May, two or three things about rice fields and breeze
Every day in Dali, as long as there is blue sky and sunshine, I like to look up at the sky
May on earth, spring and scenery are bright
In the spring light, talk to the silent time of Shaxi
Heart is like white clouds, meaning is like running water
Being with yourself, the end of time is peace of mind
After being wronged by the epidemic for several months, I had to climb the roof to take two photos of the sunset over Liancheng City. As soon as the idea of walking around the country came to mind, the first person that came to mind was Dali.
I have been to Yunnan nine times. Ginkgo biloba falls all over the ground in Tengchong in autumn, and snow falls in Meili in summer in June. People live in Lijiang with thousands of customs, but my favorite is Dali. After checking the air ticket, Chongqing has more than 1,000 round-trip trips to Dali, and only 300 round-trip trips to Lijiang. Due to the epidemic, many B & Bs charge cabbage.
I immediately bought a round-trip ticket to Lijiang and rented a car online. I heard that Baisha Town was quiet and simple, and that Shaxi had historical rings, so I drove slowly all the way to those sparsely populated places. When you turn your back to Cangshan Mountain and face the Erhai Lake, visit the ancient city first, pay attention to the fishing fields, and waste your time for a long time, you will understand why so many people want to go to Dali.
In the fields of Xizhou, rice, wheat and blue flowers, and the sky in May
The warm summer sun, a pot of green tea, but you don't feel the sun and moon grow in the mountains
The courtyard walls of Bai buildings are all very high
Six o'clock in the afternoon is not too late in the Dali sunshine
Monet's paintings, flowers blooming in the mountains
After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is in water, and the boat is full of clear dreams pressing the stars.
To go to Dali, you must drive yourself. Maybe there will be a chance scenery on the way that will make you feel that the trip was worth it.
On the left hand is the steep rocks with green peaks, and on the right hand is the deep and romantic and charming Erhai Lake.
There is a transparent glass house on four sides, muttering that I am going to wander, and reaching out at night, the sky is full of stars
You see, surprises come by accident
When you come to Shaxi, you will find that it is like taking a nap in the long river of time, taking us back through thousands of years to the ancient road where the sound of hooves sounded.
Get up early and climb to the roof to bask in the sun. The white clouds are so beautiful
The tranquility of Xizhou is beyond your imagination
Living by the water, clouds rise and fall
Autumn scenery in summer, soft wheat fields and sunlight
The vast expanse of water opens the sky, and the mountains are surrounded by green screens at all times
Lying on a gray tiled roof, holding fireworks and looking at the stars from afar, is this the life you want?
The epidemic is not over yet. Staff are wearing protective clothing, passengers are also wearing masks, and the flight is surprisingly full. The airport store picked up a copy of Zhang Jiajia's Yunbian snack shop. After flipping through two pages, I didn't like it very much. I just wanted to pass the time. This kind of deliberately sad and sad novel may be because I prefer a lighter and happier taste when I am older.
Arriving at Sanyi Airport, the coolness came and there was scattered light rain in the air. This is the third time I have come to this city of wind and moon. I dragged my suitcase through layers of green codes and body temperature tests. The first thing I thought about when I walked out of the airport turned out to be handmade yogurt.
Dali is particularly suitable for renting a car because most of the scenery is on the road. If you don't drive around the Haixi Road, you will have to say you have been to Dali in your left hand and the rice fields in your right hand.
With this fuel-saving and comfortable little Rolla, I can slow down and slowly appreciate the scenery passing by. I can also go to a small town where I am not visited and waste the entire afternoon drinking a slow coffee. I can live wherever I want.
We will set off after completing all the formalities. Because it is Dali, even if the journey is patchy, it will not affect our mood at all
The route this time is relatively small. I want to find some quiet small cities to slow down life, have more scenery, fewer people, and spend my time among the rice fields and mountains. So I didn't plan to stay in Lijiang City and went directly to Baisha Ancient Town
A 40-minute drive will take you to this quiet town before dark via the Dali Expressway
Opening the window, the original smell of cow dung came to my nostrils, mixed with the aroma of grass mixed in the air. After winding through several winding paths, I found the Prajna B & B I had been waiting for for a long time.
The boss held an umbrella and led us to the parking spot. The lady boss cooked steaming rice noodles. The small courtyard turned on the lights, and a few cats huddled around the stove. Well, it's my favorite fireworks.
Fruit dishes carefully prepared by the boss lady
Raindrops were sprinkled in the swimming pool. In this weather, I just wanted to hide in bed. Dali was so cold in May. It felt like winter was back. Fortunately, the room was equipped with heating electric blankets, which were so tight that they were airtight that they were airtight
On rainy nights, I like to go to bed early,
Lying on the fence at night listening to the wind blowing rain, the Iron Horse Glacier comes to my dreams,
The iron horse is you, and the glacier is you.
The next morning, I was awakened by the sound of dripping rain
In the dream, the town rained, bloomed, the wind rose, and the frost hung
There is even the aroma of sweet potatoes
Breakfast is fried noodles and porridge
The bottle contains freshly picked flowers
The corn is sweet and refreshing
The boss keeps three cats and one dog. The dog is called Dimple. He likes to compete with cats for jealousy. He does not eat dog food and likes cat food. If guests want to visit the ancient town, Dimple happily takes the guests out. The cat calls Qiuqiu, has a Garfield face and a short blue body. When eating, she is very ladylike. Because her face is too flat and round, her face is smeared with one bite, so she licks her fur every bite, and licks her fur every bite.
After reading the weather forecast, it was rainy all day, so I lazily finished breakfast and thought about lying down first before going to the ancient town for a stroll in the afternoon.
Listening to the rain from the window
Even on rainy days, you can find your own leisure and contentment
At a time like this, I am particularly lucky to have a book.
Spend this long time
The raindrops falling from the eaves are like pearls
Hearing the wind and the rain, I spent a leisurely morning in the small courtyard. After lunch, I borrowed an umbrella from my boss and walked to the ancient town for about 10 minutes. I came to Lijiang three times. I went to the lively ancient town of Shuhe. The taverns were full of lights and the night market was crowded with people. This time, I would rather experience a simple Lijiang, a quiet Lijiang without commercialization.
Time in Baisha is slow time. People here are always doing their own daily tasks at a slow pace and maintaining a traditional life.
Walking on the stone road, strolling leisurely in the old street, the grandma sitting in the corner of the courtyard, the craftsman carving wood paintings, the literary and artistic youth doing handicrafts, the misty and misty Yulong Snow Mountain in the distance intertwined with the ancient streets and alleys that have experienced wind and frost. There is no rush. Footsteps, only the crisscross time
Visit the store and
There is almost no music from the ancient town in the streets and alleys. There are more restaurants and cultural spots. Some antique shops and stall owners of tie-dye shawl shops are also sitting together and playing cards. They don't seem to care about the number of tourists and the quality of business. Naxi elderly people basked in the sun and gathered in the center of the ancient town to chat about their parents 'daily affairs.
There are two puppies. The younger brother is called Xiaodan because he is very timid and likes to surround his owner; the older brother is very proud. He only glanced at me when I entered the store and stayed at the door. The boss said he wanted to go out for a walk. It's over.
Brother: I want to go out
Brother: It's raining, we can't get out!
The handmade yogurt that I have always been longing for. The yogurt is thick and has a slightly sweet strawberry aroma. The room is very warm, with a fire and heating. There are not many tourists in Baisha, the streets are deserted, the cafes are also very quiet, and the rain is pattering outside the window
If you are willing to walk a stone road and spend an afternoon in Baisha Town, here we are to learn about another simple and peaceful way of life
The owner of the B & B said that there was a steamed bun poet in the town who wrote poems while making steamed buns. The business in the store was so good that he couldn't buy it even if he went late.
When the rain subsided, he went out to wander again and walked to the front of the steamed buns poet shop. The small plaque reads: My steamed buns, my poems. The annotation is: steamed buns in the left hand, poems in the right hand
There is a small restaurant next to the steamed bun shop, and many tourists eat in it. Business is quite prosperous in the deserted Baisha Ancient Town.
I ordered three dishes and one soup. The fried chicken with brown sugar rice cake is delicious! Later, I asked the boss if they sold it. The boss said that it was made by an old woman in the market by hand. It wouldn't last for so long and would break down when she took it back. I didn't give up and searched the Internet for brown sugar rice cakes again. I bought a few bags of vacuumed ones to taste if it tasted like this ~
At night, the rain seemed to stop
I checked the weather forecast several times and hoped it would be sunny tomorrow
There is no alarm clock, a day awakened by the chirping of Zen insects
Living on the first floor, large French windows do not block out light
The early morning sun shines into the room
Lolling out for breakfast
Cats and dogs lay in the middle of the yard blocking the way
The small courtyard is soft and warm by the sun
The meat by the pool grows so plump
Seeing the sunshine, I feel what a beautiful day it is
Breakfast was in a wheat field. Because of the rain yesterday, I didn't know that there was a golden wheat field under the snowy mountains on the rooftop. Today is a Western-style breakfast. The coffee made by the landlady attracted the ball. When she was taking pictures, she stole it when she was not paying attention!!
White clouds floated quickly, revealing the top of the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
Snow-capped mountains, rice fields, and immortal breakfast under the clouds of clouds
When I first saw this painting, I only felt like a scene in Miyazaki Taizu anime [Wind Rises]
Autumn scenery in summer, soft wheat fields and sunlight
This place is really suitable for taking photos. In addition to the immortal breakfast, there is also a small terrace on the rooftop with a mirror effect, which can capture the reflection of the blue sky and snow mountains. There is a glass boat in the swimming pool in the courtyard. There is no need for aerial photography. It's very nice to take pictures from the perspective of the second floor.
This B & B is not big. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the five essentials, and every corner of the hotel is super nice to take pictures. When filming this group, the young lady upstairs asked me if I was here to take travel photos. I said no, just living here and taking two random photos. The clothes were matched before going out. Life should be exquisite, right?
Drive to Shaxi, take the Dali Expressway for 60 kilometers and enter the provincial highway. After going down from Jianchuan, you will enter the winding forest path
The winding mountain road to Shaxi is winding and winding, with cliffs on the left side. Most of the corners have an arc of more than 180 degrees. There are many large trucks coming and going. The road is narrow. From the map, you will be dumbfounded. The winding is all 360-degree bend. Friends who have motion sickness remember to prepare motion sickness stickers and be sure to pay attention to safety
After climbing about 800 mountains, at the end of the winding path, we finally turn into rows of asphalt roads with green shades. This century-old town hidden in the mountains has a mysterious place outside the world.
Shaxi in spring,
The air is filled with a gentle atmosphere
The white jade orchids are blooming strongly, and the noon sun becomes mottled through the filtration of the leaves
Step on the stone road and get your first impression of Shaxi
It's so quiet.
Shaxi is not famous. The owner of the restaurant said that there are a total of 18 villages around it, and each village has its own history, culture and story. Before 2015, people who came here were mostly foreigners, and 16 years later, Chinese people began to come. After I posted a message on my circle of friends, a little sister wrote me privately, saying that she had lived in Shaxi for a week, begging me not to write about Shaxi and let everyone know, so that it would become the secret of the person I liked.
What a beautiful place that makes people want to hide and take it for themselves
I especially like the plaque in this store. The eyebrows are full of poetry and painting.
People who like ancient towns all have a little romantic feelings in their bones. They always want to place those quiet thoughts among the carved beams and painted columns that have been decaying over the years.
In the central open space of the ancient town stands an ancient stage that has lasted for thousands of years. I stood in the middle and looked up. The annual rings of history rolled forward and never stopped rotating. The hope, belief and destiny that once existed here have now faded away with time, gradually and slowly, as if they had never come to this world.
The ancient stage is parked in front of it. The stage is divided into three floors. The street with the stage is Kuixing Pavilion, the front desk and the back pavilion, with cornices and overlapping corners, and 14 flying horns shooting out of the sky. The unique architectural structure and superb craftsmanship are really amazing.
If you are tired, sit on a bench on Sifang Street and listen to idle Bai elderly people chatting about daily affairs. Take a cup of coffee and soak it in the stories of the old street
Later, I saw this text in an article:
The ancient village of Shaxi has become the last secret realm in Yunnan through word of mouth among the pioneers. It is still just an ordinary life of firewood, rice, sauce, vinegar and tea. Here is the last market on the ancient tea-horse road. You can enjoy the fun of bargaining in primitive transactions. You can hear the old Bai tunes sung by horse drivers everywhere. If you are lucky enough, you will bump into the round black pig just like that. Lying on your back in the sunshine of the ancient city...
The mottled walls leave marks year after year. Rows of houses are neatly arranged, and the faded red bricks and blue tiles are also full of vicissitudes.
Everywhere here is the atmosphere of history, the traces of horse gangs, old shops, blue stone roads, and the road full of soft sunshine is warm yellow.
This is where we eat. Most of the small shops in Shaxi are renovated on the basis of old buildings and have a solid foundation, so each store looks very charming.
The people who shop here should all be people who love life. Maybe he is not a real businessman, but he just loves a lifestyle. The storefront decorated with longing and emotion makes people unable to detect any commercial flavor
After ordering two plates of small dishes, the boss enthusiastically introduced various attractions in the nearby village. He told us that Yujin Bridge must be visited at dusk, and drove his big dog to the river to take a bath.
I always feel that merchants who can open shops in such a cold ancient town are just giving themselves an excuse to live here.
Every day in Dali, as long as there is sunshine and blue sky, I like to look up at the sky
May on earth, spring and scenery are bright
In the spring light, talk to the silent time of Shaxi
Heart is like white clouds, meaning is like running water
Being with yourself, the end of time is peace of mind
Here is the other end of the Yujin Bridge, with willow trees hanging down and blue sky reflecting
An ancient locust tree, an ancient stage, a square street, a Heihui River, and an ancient stone bridge
Tonight's stay is Tianye Panshan Resort Hotel.
I don't live in an ancient city, like rice fields, and want to be more free and open.
The windows of the room can see the mountains and fields in the distance, and I can sit on the sill of the eaves with my feet stretched out and stare at the scenery on this land from a high place.
The Heihui River runs through Shaxi from north to south and flows meandering to the east of the ancient town.
Taking advantage of the majestic green mountains in the distance, an ancient bridge spans the water like a crescent moon. That is the Yujin Bridge.
Yujin Bridge at dusk, with small bridges and flowing water, and stone alleys.
Like an oil painting, it reminds me of "withered vines, old trees, faint crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes"
The villagers carrying baskets happened to walk across the bridge, which reminded me of the picture of business travelers driving horses across the bridge deck.
Yujin Bridge is the only way for the Bai people who have lived in Shaxi for generations to lead to the fields and work and do business. The stone slabs on the bridge body are glistening with green light and potholes due to the king's chariots, horses and pedestrians. It carries the profound history of Shaxi and is welcomed year after year. There is a just right balance between the old and simple and the noisy and miscellaneous things.
Walking towards a place with a panoramic view of the mountains and rivers, the Heihui River silently brings the former prosperity of the Shaxi River on the Ancient Tea Horse Road to the distant sea
Thinking about the sea of clouds across the mountain, and thinking about the light sinking into the lake
This was once the throat between Dali and Xizang. I don't know how many caravan came and went there
Only the Heihui River flowing quietly under the bridge witnesses everything
As we travel slowly all the way to Lola, Dali must choose to drive by car. Maybe a sudden scenery on the roadside will make your trip worthwhile.
Slow down and you will truly understand this land
I like the architectural style of Tianye Pan Mountain very much. The details reveal its antique charm, allowing people to taste it carefully.
Breakfast is built on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows and carved wooden pillars, the lights are covered in bamboo baskets, and the flowers are ears of reed. The taste is all in the details
Even the gauze curtains are so textured, as if you lived in the courtyard of a certain family head during the Ming and Qing Dynasties
There is a glass tea room on the top floor of the courtyard. It has no other decoration except a lamp. It faces the rice fields, abandoning all extravagance and accompanying tea drinkers with the tranquility of nature.
Customers come from far away and treat them with tea
People on the plains never leave glutinous rice cakes, and people on the mountains never leave bitter tea.
It takes a 3-hour drive from Shaxi to Xizhou. Most of them are on the Dali Expressway. On the way, white clouds are clustered like oil paintings, and every frame is in a good mood.
Through a viewing platform, if mountains and seas are ideal, then rice fields and farmers are life
Master, thank you for your hard work. Add chicken legs to master
The white clouds are so beautiful today
In early summer of May, I went to a B & B called Guoshu
Warm summer sun, a cup of green tea
Spend the day in a trance
Staying in a place like this, my heart is full of poetry and distance
How can I care about the trivia of life?
What do you like most about fruit trees?
Light, the light of nature.
In the morning, afternoon and evening, through the gentle gauze curtains, you fall on the soft sofa
A small table, a cup of green tea, a book, and a pot of water
Waiting quietly by the side
Every time I see this picture, I want to walk in and lie on that sofa
There is a glass room that conveys love between mountains and rivers
Slowing down time makes the days long
There is a tree in the fruit tree that has been basking in the sun here for many years, blocking the wind and rain.
I sat under the tree for half of the afternoon. This afternoon, I was as rich as it, and I could leisurely waste a lot of time and sunshine.
Xizhou has a long history of silverware and tea culture, and the famous tea tea. As they say,"one bitterness, two sweetness and three aftertaste", life is probably like this
The stars are dead and the moon is fading, and the fruit trees are too quiet tonight. The starry sky above my head is mottled, the sky is dotted with stars, and the sky is as blue as satin.
After being drunk, I don't know that the sky is in water, and the boat is full of clear dreams pressing the stars.
I have been to Yunnan nine times and Dali three times. I love Xizhou the most.
Walking out of the village alleys and walking towards the fields, you can stroll in the countryside of Xizhou, with the candy-colored sky, white clouds, the stretching Cangshan Mountains, and the old walls of Bai houses filled with old light and shadow.
Green trees, green fields
There is still wind when you run.
Drive to Haisi Park, which closed for construction in March last year, and you can only see from the distance from the grass outside.
The sky is bright and the sun is clear, and the water and grass are lush. It is perfect to describe it as sparkling. Dense hemp water grass surfaced on the water and intertwined with black dead branches, which was quite disorganized and beautiful
On the grassy beaches and wetlands along the roadside, the sun shines through the gaps in the trees and shines on the grass.
The water is blue and the vegetation is bright green
Trees growing low in the water grow in clusters
The only reason why I like Xizhou is the Haixi Road.
The people have a double corridor style and Yang Liping's color. In my eyes, they are not as good as the woods on the road around the West Coast, and the scenery on the way, shoals, wetlands, lakes, and mountains and forests.
At noon, I caught two sunflowers under the scorching sun
Xizhou's most famous snack is Xizhou Baba, which is sweet and salty. It is made into round cakes, brushed with a layer of sesame oil, put in an oil pan, and then baked over charcoal fire. However, it is difficult to eat authentic Xizhou Baba nowadays. The quantity that can be baked over charcoal fire is limited. As the number of tourists increases, most of them now use ovens, and the baked surface is not so crispy
Between Cangshan and Erhai, there are simple villages and large fields, as well as clean tie-dye.
Tie-dyeing is a unique traditional dyeing craft among Dali people, with various and unique techniques. The cloth dyed by the tie-dyeing process is rich in color, and even if there are thousands of tied flowers, they are not the same. You can see stalls selling them in various towns and shops in Dali
There is a well-known small workshop in Xizhou. From the outside, it looks more like an ordinary family. There are various deep and light blue woven fabrics hanging in the yard. When I went, the workers were doing tie-dyeing, so after a brief introduction, we were allowed to visit at will.
The house itself is decorated like a work of art. Some of the tie-dyed products here are indeed much more exquisite than most of the things you see outside, and the decorations and objects are also small and fresh.
There is a large rooftop on the roof, which is used to entertain tourists. In the middle of the farmland, you can have a panoramic view of the countryside.
When I came to the ancient city of Dali, it suddenly became lively. The pedestrians on the road walked briskly and with a hint of laziness. The difference between this place and the ancient city of Shuhe in Lijiang is that it is lively but not noisy
Peach blossom brewing, snack stalls, passing by various shops and stalls, and passing by countless people
The first thing when arriving in the ancient city is to eat!
There is a wise saying in Chengdu, if there is something that cannot be solved by one hot pot meal, then two meals!
When roasted hot, there are still sizzling large ribs. After taking one bite, the fat and lean ribs are mixed with each other. The hot oil remains between the lips and teeth. The cumin seasoning is sprinkled all over the ribs. Now I think about it, I drool hahahaha.
This tofu can be said to be my favorite. It is fried until crispy on the outside, and it is tender and smooth sweet tofu on the inside. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It tastes smooth in one bite. There is also hot sauce that can be dipped in and eaten, but I still prefer the original flavor ~
There are many small shops in the ancient city that decorate cultural arts, and all kinds of fruit wines and desserts, lingering in the leisurely time of the ancient town. Perhaps due to the epidemic, there are not many people on the streets of the ancient town. A few scattered couples walked by arm, and there are also vendors closing their doors. The quiet ancient town presents a different flavor.
After shopping around, I bought plum wine that my mother liked and handmade yogurt that I liked
A furniture store I like very much. Carpets and cushions with various patterns are placed in every corner of the store, revealing a lazy attitude
Probably everyone who lives in Dali can find the life they want here
In fact, what really makes people feel warm in Dali is not the scenery or the food, but the people living here. They can always live simple and ordinary lives comfortably
After visiting the ancient town and returning to the Haixi Road, the sun gradually sets on the mountain, giving off a dazzling halo of golden light behind the dark clouds
In the sky, light gathers to break through the clouds. The sky that had just been lit up is now in full swing
It is very happy to have a barbecue at a B & B. Friends from all over the world sat down, exchanged a few pleasantries, chatted, and then started to plan their next trip together. Why you love traveling, because this is traveling
The sky is bright and the air is clear, and the moon is coming and the wind is coming
As night fell, the small courtyard lit up with lights
The fireworks in the world soothe the hearts of ordinary people
Sometimes I often think about how to chew ordinary days into a different taste
Many times I feel that I am a sensible person, and I will do whatever I like without stopping, and buy what I like immediately.
Say love words to those you love and buy flowers home
Invite friends on a trip
Take pictures of your favorite scenery
Take a walk at dusk with sunset
Sometimes I think we are all secular people. Look at this busy situation.
The old monk said, I still see mountains as mountains after all
The Water Margin said,"The tide on the Qiantang River comes, and today I know that I am me.
In those years, seeing mountains were not mountains, stars and seas. It was probably a big dream given to him by the youth. It was a long river of years before reality. When he woke up, the youth grew up.
But isn't that what teenagers are like? They have passionate and pure dreams, the courage to walk away as soon as they say, and they long for everything equally beautiful.
In the end, Qi Yanqi did not give up his childhood dream, but only after experiencing everything did he understand more and more that this is life.
This night when holding fireworks and looking at the stars reminds me of a song
The beauty of the world is intertwined with you
Slowly taste the fireworks in the world, and slowly watch the years of the world
I want to live in a small town with you, sharing the endless dusk and the endless ringing of bells.
You can sleep until dawn at home every day, but you wake up early every day in Dali
Climb to the rooftop of the fruit tree and be a ghost girl today
I love the blue sky, the white fences, and even the wires look like scenes in anime. At this time, there should be a ponytail girl with a backpack on her back and wearing a Japanese-style folding skirt. She met a school uniform boy who was biting a coke straw and wearing big-footed jeans and walking leisurely.
Well, boys must wear gray ties
Today is the ghost horse girl ~
I slowly wandered around Xizhou Town. When I took this picture, I only felt that the color was very beautiful, but I didn't know the history.
Fortunately, only after visiting Xizhou did I realize what poetic dwelling was, and only after reading information for writing travel notes did I realize that Nanzhao was magnificent
This is Xilin Garden, the earliest inn in Xizhou Ancient Town, which was renovated with Bai folk houses. The owner is an American and is also a representative B & B of Xizhou. Later, because of this wall, it became a landmark check-in point in Xizhou.
In the distance is a row of white houses, and the fields are filled with green crops mixed with blooming flowers. Bathed in the soft light, in the distance, musle-like clouds wrap around Cangshan, and birds sing endlessly.
Under the blue sky, white clouds flow among the ancient banyan trees, shining the sacred light of Jesus.
At noon, Guoguo took us to a Hunan restaurant in Xizhou and said it was Hunan cuisine, which had already integrated local flavors. In the lower right corner, there were pomegranate flower fried pork, in the lower left corner, there were spicy fried vermicelli, and there were also various jasmine flower fried pork. It was an unexpected dish name. It tasted very good, and it was super delicious.
Why did I say that Dali must drive by yourself? Because you will find the scenery on the road and make you feel that this trip was worth it.
The free blue waves rippled at the foot of the snowy mountains, and the boundless fields crazily swallowed the horizon
At dusk, go to Shuanglang Town, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side. It consists of several small fishing villages. Looking west, it faces the ancient city of Dali.
Sometimes I will hear old people talk about the old times in Shuanglang more than ten years ago: there are villagers who have returned from fishing, courtyards with smoke curling from cooking, and aunties of the Bai nationality carrying baskets shuttling through alleys. It is a remote, quiet and unknown small fishing village. Today, it is commercialized. There are various comfortable seascape inns, restaurants, and specialty shops, and endless crowds along the Erhai Lake.
Of course, if you have a rich and satisfied heart, you will still like this town amidst the noise.
Park your car in Mingyue Parking Lot, which is closer to the village villa. Walking into the ancient city, judging from the steep increase in vendors on both sides of the road, Shuanglang is indeed the most lively ancient town on the Erhai Lake. The journey from Baisha to Shaxi and then to Xizhou was a quiet time to be alone with myself. Shuanglang is different. Looking at the entire Shuanglang Peninsula from above the road, you can tell from the dense residential buildings, small boats flooding the lake, and the number of tourists that this is a noisy world. Locals say that Shuanglang is an alternative. Tourists first, and then tourists fall in love with it, before there are inns run by tourists themselves. Every inn and bar here is worth your careful taste and feeling, and the beautiful feeling that you can find nowhere in the hustle and bustle of a metropolis.
After passing through several bustling shopping streets, there is a stone bridge. Further inside, you will find a long wooden railing plank road. This is the best place to view the Erhai Lake. The dusk light shone on the stone pillars, and pigeons lined up in a row
Walking along the plank road, the crowd became dense. Many tourists gathered here to watch the sunset. There were restaurants and pubs decorated in style. What I was thinking about was still the double corridor rose handmade yogurt, which was thick and thick. The aroma, mixed with authentic rose petals. If you pass by Dali, you must remember to try the handmade yogurt here.
Walking through noisy shops, tie-dyed shops, and stalls for various handicrafts, people surged, and the shadow of dusk illuminated the ground with shining figures.
The farther I go, the colder and the narrower the road is. I remember that there are several shops whose clothes are very ethnic, but the prices are slightly more expensive. After turning a corner, I will reach the Village Villa Seaview Hotel
View Cangshan Mountain, listen quietly to the Erhai Lake, basking in the warm sunshine, and indulge in this blue Erhai Lake. It seems calm and peaceful, but it is undercurrent
Sit down and quietly look at the sea. This is something that is constantly repeated in Shuanglang.
Sitting here, you can see the western sun slowly setting into Cangshan Mountain. As long as you are lucky, you can still see the golden light.
The long branches seem to stretch out into the sea
I love this tree so much that I want a photo of running towards this tree
Looking back, it was a soft time
Life is like a dream,
One person, one hospital, a period of wandering time
Some time ago, Dali was rectified and the village villa was renovated. The interior decoration was full of design. The materials and design were carefully used, and every corner was exquisite.
The room has 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows with unbeatable sea views
The tea room on the rooftop has red wooden pillars on both sides, giving people a Zen feeling and not completely integrated with the tea room
The tea rooms are separated separately, allowing tourists to enjoy private space. There is also an endless pool between the tea rooms. The gentle color of the sky and clouds are reflected in the water, and the sky and water depend on each other.
Sitting quietly under such dusk all afternoon, I don't realize that the sun and moon are long in the mountains.
Through the clouds, the sun shines lightly on the Erhai Lake, making the water color warm.
Except for the whistling wind and the occasional whining of egrets, there was no unnecessary sound in my ears.
You see, surprises come by accident
The golden glow of the sea shines brightly, the water shines brightly, and the clouds roll and the clouds are comfortable
On the last day, drive directly from Shuanglang to Lijiang. The airport drop-off procedure is very convenient. It takes 5 minutes to complete and you can check in.
On the return flight, the prosperity of the city under our feet turned into stars.
It is always hazy when I think of seeing Cangshan Mountain in the distance, I think of the strong wind riding by the Erhai Lake, I think of the wandering singers in the ancient city, I think of the old people farming in the fields, and I think of the wind blowing and the sun shining.
My heart is full of throbbing, as well as enthusiasm and yearning for life

Day6 Double Corridor-Dali-Chongqing
Lijiang [Prajna B & B] 300-500
A 10-minute walk from Baisha Ancient Town, on a country road, it is very quiet, the landlady is super nice, and the hot water in the room is also very comfortable. There is heating and electric blankets, there is a fairy breakfast on the rooftop, there is a rice field that can be photographed all day long, when the weather is good, you can see the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and there is also a glass boat in the swimming pool ~
Xizhou [Fruit Tree B & B] 300-700
Many photographers go to take photos in a super-popular B & B. It has a swimming pool and a roof, and can go up for nine days to catch turtles under the moon and five oceans.
The boss has feelings for B & Bs. The kettle is European, the hair dryer is Dyson, the toilet is electric, and even the makeup mirror is better than other ones. In short, it is my favorite B & Bs on the itinerary.
Shuanglang [Village Villa Seaview Hotel] 1800-3200
A hotel with a super beautiful tree, except for standard rooms and family rooms, each room has an unbeatable 180-degree sea view. The public areas are also super sea views hotels facing the Sun Palace. Every place can be photographed for a whole day. The materials and texture of the rooms are the best among B & Bs. The breakfast is also very good. After the renovation, the experience is even better.

Shaxi [Tianye Panshan Resort Hotel] 190-600
I also like this hotel very much. It is not located in the ancient city of Shaxi. It is in a rice field next to Yujin Bridge. The entire courtyard is antique and conforms to the temperament of Shaxi. The interior of the room is also full of books. It is about a 3-minute drive from the ancient city. It is very convenient to go to Yujin Bridge to watch the sunrise and sunset
precautions
1. It is best to choose to drive yourself around the Erhai Lake. There are also cars and bicycles for rent locally. The bicycles are really too dry and buses cannot enjoy the scenery on the way.
2. Sunburn! Sunburn! Sunburn! The ultraviolet rays in Yunnan are not inferior to those in the island at all. My mother forgot to close the window while sleeping in the car. After arriving at Shuanglang, her arm got sunburned. Don't underestimate the sun in Yunnan.
3. Facial mask! Facial mask! Facial mask!
4. Girls with sensitive skin should bring a bottle of moisturizing spray because the climate is relatively dry
5. The climate in plateau areas is uncertain, so it is best to bring an umbrella, as showers may fall at any time
6. Friends going to Shaxi must pay attention to the cliff section, which has a large curve and many large trucks. Pay attention to driving safety
7. The weather in Dali and Lijiang is very cold in the morning and evening, so bring a thin coat
8. In addition to the current high-risk areas, no special procedures are required to go to Dali. Before boarding, the flight attendant will provide two QR codes to fill in some basic information. There will also be a green code when you get off the plane. After scanning it, you can go out. The epidemic has not yet been completely controlled, so everyone must wear masks when flying.
written in the end
Some new friends I met during the trip include the B & B owner, the front desk girl, and the photographer who took photos together. In the silent night, we would sit together and chat and talk about each other's stories.
This is to leave your self-righteous life, connect with past memories, and meet interesting people outside of daily life with an open attitude.
So when I met many incredible people in my life later, I would think that there were really many, many kinds of people in the world who lived in a variety of ways. They had different values, so the world seemed complicated and complicated. It resonates with those who understood them, and has topics for those who did not understand them.
Moreover, the more roads you walk, the more humble you are, knowing the size of the world and how insignificant you are.
So we become more tolerant, learn to understand different values, and better know how to love and cherish.
Peace and joy, everything is successful
