Every summer, people from all over the country go to Dali. The green Cangshan Mountain, the blue Erhai Lake, the ancient city where literary and artistic youth gather, the poems sung in the lyrics and the distance... It seems to have become an attractive feature of Dali.

But what attracts people to gather together and settle in in Dali is not the scenery of the small city, but the lifestyle here: minimalist, simple, quiet, elegant and indifferent.

In Dali, everyone who lives is called a "master of life".

Children would run in the fields, lovers would go for a walk by the beach at dusk; the old man would leisurely bask in the sun in the yard. Dali is a pure land, and the living conditions here are so beautiful that people envy.

Reading, writing, drawing, walking dogs, growing vegetables, growing flowers, buying vegetables, cooking, chatting, looking at clouds, watching rain, watching rainbows... This is probably the most real life in Dali!

As for the most extreme interpretation of this kind of life, I think that there is no other choice except the small courtyard in Dali.

Life in the small courtyard is hot and very pyrotechnic.

Here are a group of people who love life. They know their needs and are committed to concentrating their energy, financial resources, time and other resources on the most important things in life.

Here, there is no resplendent splendor, no noisy noise, only the original appearance of life.

Houses with white walls and blue tiles, flowers blooming from bamboo fences, winding and rhythmic paths, simple fruits and vegetables, soft and soothing time, and even the speed at which clouds tell stories is slow...

In the room on the second floor, the sun can be seen at 7:00 in the morning on every sunny day. When you open the window, you can see the process of leaves turning from green to yellow.

Breathe the air with the fragrance of trees and the humid breeze all day long, and you can see the most beautiful scenery by running on the path in front of your house.

There is a recliner in the yard. You can lie on the recliner and take a nap in the sun and admire the moon and stars at night.

The time here is leisurely and long. Most of the time, you can sleep lazily until you wake up naturally, then go for a walk on the street, or sit in the quiet small courtyard to bask in the sun and be in a daze.

Here, people are far away from the nothingness, bustle and prosperity of big cities; away from the dazzling array of superfluous goods, dazzling fashion brands, and lively celebrity gossip; away from the utilitarian and suspicion and endless desires and temptations between people.

Live by the water, listen to the wind and watch the clouds, read and drink tea, compete for the day and night, watch the tide and ebb, and stay evergreen all year round.

Life here is leisurely and comfortable, but it is not completely idle or boring. Every day is very novel.

Hundreds of activities are organized in Dali's small courtyard every year to bring the distance between neighbors. From children in drooping to old people, you can find like-minded friends here.

The rows of bungalows in my memory, the door-to-door visits among neighbors, the chatting of parents, and the harmonious and happy life seem to be reproduced in the small courtyard of Dali.

Gardening enthusiasts in the small courtyard will gather together during the cool autumn rain season to exchange experience in cultivating flowers, share flower shops, display flower cultivation results, and visit each other's gardens... Talk about things in the garden.

The mother Tiantuan in the yard will take the cute children to participate in the parent-child salon. From then on, they will no longer be lonely. The precious mothers exchange their parenting experiences with each other, and the children also find their own playmates...

Crafty homemade drink lovers will hold happy parties from time to time, each offering their own specialty drinks: poplar branch nectar, passion fruit tea, honey grapefruit tea, various flower water... In addition to tasting, you can also light up your drink skills.

Film lovers will move to a few small carriages on midsummer night for an open-air movie date. Watch a classic that is worth remembering in everyone's mind, talk about favorite movies, talk about their own past, and the cool breeze blows until late at night...

There are many cyclists in the small yard. On a certain sunny day, they will polish their cars to shine and go on a road-style ride. Along the beach, they will blow the wind and ride wherever they go. No matter what, enjoy it.

In addition to these, the small courtyard will also hold some art exhibitions and fruit and vegetable picking activities from time to time. During festivals, we will celebrate together and share happiness together.

A good lifestyle should be like this. It should be concrete, vivid, with colors, smells and connotations. It may make people work hard, but it will definitely bring happiness.

Modern life is busy every day, but it lacks life. You may not know anyone in a community where you have lived for several years, and you may not even meet you after being a neighbor for several months.

But in fact, life requires interacting with people.

Living in a small courtyard in Dali, chatting with lovely neighbors, visiting doors, and greeting acquaintances passing by every day. This kind of closeness between people is beyond the reach of a big city and makes people feel very comfortable.

So, this summer, come to Dali Xiaoyuan! It's not just to see houses, nor just to spend a few days on vacation, but more importantly, to meet some interesting people and do some interesting things.
