Long ago, Dali represented a way of life, and this city has become people's most concrete impression of the land on earth.

The natural landscape pattern, endless historical legends, the pastoral scenery that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, the dreamy ethnic customs, and the dilapidated and new ancient city of Dali, this is the vivid Dali in people's eyes!

At this time, Dali, the cold wind is not cold, the sun is not dry, the mountains and rivers are transformed, and the colors are as gorgeous as a watercolor palette. As the person who is most fascinated by color and who yearn for freedom, Dali is the ultimate destination.

Everyone who likes Dali has one thing in common, that is, yearning for a free and unfettered slow life.

Dali's freedom lies in the mountains and forests, in the wilderness, and on cruise ships in the Erhai Lake. Freedom is the most indispensable thing here, but it is also the most difficult thing to find.

What can be better to feel freedom than when a group of people who yearn for freedom in Dali get together, chase the sunrise and sunset by the Erhai Lake, watch the ripples in the Erhai Lake, and ride bicycles through the streets and alleys?

Freedom in Dali is not only a beautiful scenery between the mountains and rivers, but also a creek in front of and behind the houses, and a leisure in daily life.

With freedom, there is time to relax and eyes to discover color.

If mountains and rivers are God's greatest gift to the land of Dali, then color is God's second greatest reward to this land, because the appearance of color has brought changes and warmth here.

In Dali, colorful colors are the norm. With green mountains, green waters, and natural villages with farming characteristics, then colorful colors are the stroke of god.

I don't know when it started to have flowers blooming all year round in the courtyards, alleys, and fields of local people in Dali.

Red, white, yellow, green, and pink are mixed together, and the image of Dali suddenly becomes vivid and three-dimensional.

In the eyes of people obsessed with color, Dali has a variety of extremely pure colors, including comfortable blue, passionate red, pure white, rich yellow, and dazzling green.

These people begin to transform into "color chasers" every season, wandering around the mountains and seas, just to collect these ultimate colors.

The most essential reason why people yearn for Dali is still yearning for its mountains and rivers.

The warm sun in early winter is warm and warm. Under the sunshine and cold wind, Dali's colors are at their strongest. We also follow the footsteps of people looking for freedom and collecting colors to enjoy the mountains and rivers of Dali.

Choose a sunny morning with clear skies, board a boat from Dali Port Terminal, and take a cruise ship to experience the charm of Dali's early winter landscape.

Buying tickets, boarding, and setting out, all the preliminary preparations were completed in one go. The moment we boarded the cruise ship, Dali gave people a different feeling.

The cruise ship far away from the land is like a magnifying glass that magnifies the subtle charm of the Canger scenery. People in the cruise ship seem to have broken free from the shackles of the environment and can freely shuttle through it.

As the sun has just risen, the sleepy Erhai Lake has begun to wake up. Various boats have sailed away from the shore. The layout of buildings near the port has remained unchanged for decades. Therefore, even if the entire city has a completely new look, people who revisit will still have a sense of familiarity.

When the cruise ship is far away from the relatively narrow port and the surrounding high-rise buildings fade away like a tide, the vastness and surging Erhai Lake are in front of you, and the scenery of Canger will be shocking.

As soon as the cruise ship left the port, it had already entered the painting. The Dali sky in early winter became more blue, and the deep blue lake water set off the whiteness of the clouds.

Before and after the cruise ship travels, there is an endless lake. The left and right sides are surrounded by mountains. The buildings spread from the foot of the mountain to the edge of the Erhai Lake. At this time, the mountains on both sides are no longer green and are replaced with bluish-gray.

Looking towards the Erhai Lake, you can vaguely see bare and dark fields among the well-organized and well-spaced buildings. The most colorful place at this time is the junction of the Erhai Lake border and the village. The red metasequoia release red and yellow colors.

The blue-gray mountains, white and black houses, the gorgeous Metasequoia, and the blue Erhai Lake. The colors at this time are like the Milky Way at night, which is intoxicating.

When the cruise ship is far away from dense villages, low-flying seagulls are a surprise on the cruise ship's route. Although the number is small, they are particularly interactive with people. They hover on both sides of the cruise ship, sometimes flying high and sometimes rotating low, and have been following the cruise ship freely.

The cruise ship sailed into the core of Erhai Lake scenery. The calm water surface, the sky filled with clouds and the exquisite "island" appeared in front of you like a painting. The rich color impact and the feeling of freedom instantly dispersed in my heart.

As the cruise ship sails to the Nanzhao Fengqing Island Pier and embarking on the island for a tour, you can enjoy the ultimate scenery and gorgeous colors.

In the 360-degree parade around the island, at every angle, the tawny brown of the distant mountains, the blue of the Erhai Lake, and the main colors of white and green in Shuanglang Town are all reflected in your eyes.

At this moment, the charm of color is constantly surprising in the cruise ship route. Dali's romantic, lazy and free winter relies on color and is slowly displayed to everyone who carefully discovers the charm of Dali through cruise ships.
