When the plane passes through the blue sky, when the ancient breath of time flows in the air, when the gate of the ancient city appears in front of me, at this moment, I am in Dali. This trip to Dali is the only trip I have made in so many years. With excitement, I look forward to the next journey with joy.

A friend who has been to Dali many times recommended me a hotel called "Beautiful Meet·Mengdie Village". When I first heard the name, I was amazed. The name of the hotel should be based on the romantic allusions of Zhuang Zhou Mengdie. Come on.

Walking out of the airport, the hotel housekeeper waited by the special car. After confirming our identities, the housekeeper helped me put my luggage in the trunk and drove me away. This is the hotel's "one room, one car, one housekeeper" service, and it is also a surprise for my trip. Each room will be equipped with a personal housekeeper and a special car. The car is free within a radius of 30 kilometers of the hotel. This special service has contributed greatly to my perfect trip to Dali.

After the vehicle drove smoothly for a period of time, the exterior of the hotel and the surrounding environment gradually emerged in front of us. Next to the hotel is an organic farm estate. From a distance, it is a large area of green, which is very pleasant.

At the entrance of the hotel is a path full of ceremonies. There is also a wooden plaque at the entrance of the path, which says "Mengdie Village". I heard that it was written by Teacher Nan Huaijin himself. There are multiple wooden pillars on both sides of the path. After entering the door, there is the hotel lobby. The marble floor is low-key and has a full score of texture. The young lady at the front desk helped me with the check-in procedures. She was very gentle and kind. The personal housekeeper helped me put my luggage and then communicated with me about the itinerary for the past three days. The housekeeper carefully learned from me the original intention of the trip, the places I wanted to go and the history of my interest. A detailed travel guide was just like this. Freshly baked!

The room I stayed in was Cangshan Garden·Private Pavilion Garden Queen Room. The room was on the second floor. The interior of the room was mostly wooden decorated and antique. The shape of ginkgo leaves depicted on the wall of the bedside is exquisite. When the glass door is opened, there is a wooden pavilion. Sitting in the pavilion, you can see the pleasing view of Cangshan Mountain and the courtyard view in the hotel. What also completely exceeded my expectations was the hotel's bathtub, which was comfortable after hot water was put in it. A window was carefully added next to it. It was so wonderful to enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking a bath.

Regarding Dali, the first things people think of should be: Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon. The first stop we went to was the Erhai Lake. The Erhai Lake is gentle, and occasionally there will be small winds and waves. Seagulls will glide gently over it, creating layers of ripples. The Erhai Lake is like a crescent moon, lying quietly between Cangshan Mountain and Dali Dam. The sun shines down to form beautiful landscape paintings. Under such a beautiful scenery, I certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity to use photos to record. I quickly asked the housekeeper to help me take more beautiful photos. The housekeeper's photography skills were also good, and I was so satisfied with the photos I took!

After watching the Erhai Lake, of course, I have to go to Cangshan for a walk. The second stop, the housekeeper and I came to Cangshan. To see the magical beauty of Cangshan, it was not enough to see it from a distance. We needed to watch it up close. The best way to watch up close is to take the cableway. I heard from the housekeeper that some people would choose to ride up the mountain. This operation is so cool! There are two cableways in total. The cableway we chose ends at Ximatan at the top of Cangshan Mountain. Sitting on the cableway car and overlooking the surrounding scenery is pleasing to the eye and very pleasant.

The third stop is the famous Xizhou Ancient Town, a small town that has not been over-developed commercially. Walking on the simple streets, you can feel the strong historical atmosphere of the town. Sifang Street is a small square surrounded by many shops. There is a stone square "Civilization Square" erected here. It is said that it was built after several Jinshi students appeared in the town in the Ming Dynasty. All villagers who obtained fame in the imperial examination can put their names on them. Engrave their names. Nearly 100 Jinshi and Juren from the Ming and Qing Dynasties have left their names. This stone square reflects the profound cultural background of Xizhou and has a very humanistic atmosphere.

The fourth stop is the famous ancient city of Dali. The housekeeper and I walked from the hotel, which takes about 5 minutes to get there. The ancient city is full of ancient oriental charm and has become a unique scenery. Under the overlapping mountains, white tiles and gray walls, against the blue sky and white clouds, even the wind has a touch of literature and art.

Not only is the ancient city beautiful, but the various delicious food also makes me forget to leave. I tasted Dali casserole fish, papaya chicken and roasted milk fan. Other Bai traditional delicacies such as carved plum, Xizhou cake, and cold chicken rice noodles also attracted me. However, due to the limited capacity of my stomach, I can only leave the taste of the delicious food for the next time.

After tasting the delicious food, the fifth stop, the housekeeper and I will arrive at the Third Pagoda of Chongsheng Temple. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple were once royal temples, with a royal air. The three pagodas are backed by Cangshan Mountain and face the Erhai Lake. Cangshan Mountain and the three pagodas complement each other, and the photos taken are really beautiful.

After seeing the magnificent three towers, the housekeeper and I walked back to the hotel. This casual trip to Dali ended successfully here. Fortunately, the "One Room, One Car, One Butler" service and private travel route customization made my trip smooth and enjoyable. I think the significance of travel lies in discovering beauty. During the trip, I felt the strong historical atmosphere of Dali, and the photos also helped me freeze the beautiful scenery. This is probably the meaning of travel.
