The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the holidays are also approaching. Dali, which once suffered a "revenge tour" during the summer, has lost a little bit of popularity. There are not so many people and the scenery is still beautiful. If we don't go now, how long will we wait?

On the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, meet in Dali, stroll in Dali, watch the ancient scenery-the rising moon of the Erhai Lake, watch the shadowless white pagoda with chicken feet, take pictures of Cangshan Mountain, and enjoy the early autumn and summer scenery of Cangshan Mountain.

For thousands of years, people's imagination and expectation of the moon have never stopped, and their love for it has never subsided.

The Erhai Moon is a romantic agreement between the Erhai Lake, the Moon and the solar terms, as is the Chicken Feet Shadowless White Pagoda. Only Cangshan Mountain is the surprise brought by the change of solar terms.

No matter where you are in Dali, don't forget to encounter the "Erhai Moon" on the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival!

If I want to find a place to admire the moon in Dali, I don't think there can be a better place except Erhai Lake.

The scenery during the full moon in August is undoubtedly the most worth seeing among the 12-month full moons.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the boat was moving and the wind was moving, carrying a boat of expectations.

The Erhai Lake cruise ship travels slowly on the Erhai Lake, surrounded by scenery. The night is seductive, the moonlight is dreamy, and the flashing neon lights are colorful, as if this moonlight belongs to me alone, and the brilliance of the ship shines alone for me.

The moon on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar is brighter and rounder than the moon in other months, as if it is right next to you and can be touched by reaching out.

The moon at this time seemed fake, like a huge white jade "jade plate", sometimes glowing with a bright white light, sometimes emitting an orange-red light.

A full moon hangs in the sky and casts a shadow in the water. This "Erhai Moon" is like a dream and intoxicating!

The moonlight is gentle and the city is bustling, demonstrating the peace of the country and the people everywhere.

Under the moonlight is the warm lights of thousands of families, the gathering popularity of the city, and the excitement of the reunion of thousands of families.

Visiting Erhai Lake at night and visiting Erhai Lake during the day are two different feelings!

At night, even the outline of Cangshan Mountain cannot be seen clearly, and the Erhai Lake becomes calmer and mysterious, like a huge "black hole" with an unknown feeling.

During the day, most of the landmark buildings around the Erhai Lake have been hidden in the night, leaving only a few particularly tall buildings illuminated by lights, and the outlines can still be seen clearly.

During the day, it was originally a place where buildings were piled up, but only a few lights flashed, like a community of fireflies gathered together. It was dreamy and mysterious, as if they had accidentally entered an unknown place.

In the end, returning home with a boat full of moonlight surprised my heart and comforted the journey.

As we all know, to admire the moon, you need to find a high place with a wide view and a thousand miles away. Then, Jizu Mountain in Binchuan, Dali is undoubtedly the best choice.

For thousands of years, people have used the moon to express their feelings of reunion and homesickness. In Jizu Mountain, in addition to admiring the moon, another wonder can be seen, that is, the disappearance of the Zunsheng White Tower.

There are 365 days a year, only when the moon is full during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the tower disappears. The body of the Zunsheng White Pagoda is round and as bright as jade.

At this time, the moon is hanging high in the sky, connecting with the Shangyan Tower and the Zunsheng White Tower on Tianzhu Peak. The towers and the moon reflect each other, and the full moon and the tower are white, making people feel happy.

The two towers and one moon seem to be connected at this moment. They are talking across the sky, telling about missing things they haven't seen in a year.

If you are on Tianzhu Peak, the highest point in Jizu Mountain, you can feel the romance of picking stars in your hands, and you can also see the huge full moon up close.

Stars twinkled in the dark night sky, guarding the largest and brightest one among them. That was the protagonist of the Mid-Autumn Festival-the moon.

The moonlight shed clear light and illuminated the dark peak. Under the double decoration of moonlight and light, Tianzhu Peak was as bright as day, but the surroundings were not noisy, but very peaceful.

In this extremely contradictory environment, it is most suitable to calm down, watch the stars spin in the sky, watch the moonlight as clear as water, and enjoy the romance of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the full moon alone.

In Dali in the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the rainy season has not yet gone far, and autumn is still in the midst of trekking. There is no autumn flavor in the whole of Dali except in the rice fields. Take photos of Cangshan Mountain and enjoy the early autumn and summer scenery. This is an alternative way to play for Cangshan Mountain.

The rain in Cangshan has decreased, the woods are still shining green, and the air in the mountains is only good. However, in autumn, the sudden rain and fog on Cangshan have decreased. The best times are the Yudai Yunyou Road and Cangshan Ximatan.

The Qingbi River that connects the cableway is still full of water and green trees, the waterfall water is still flowing, and the Qilongnu Pond on the Yudai Yunyou Road still maintains its most beautiful appearance in summer.

The mountain flowers on the Yudai Yunyou Road are still blooming, and the stream is still struggling forward in the cracks in the rocks. Looking out at the wilderness at the foot of the mountain through the huge gap between the two mountains, no change is found.

Ximatan, far away on the top of the mountain, the water is still clear, the streams are still flowing, the trees on the rolling mountains are still green, and the wild flowers have not withered yet. It just feels like the sky is a little farther away, but this does not affect the journey of Cangshan.

From the top of the mountain to the mountainside and then to the foot of the mountain, everything still remains as beautiful as summer. When should we not go now?

During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, you can wander Dali at any time, visit the Erhai Lake at night and watch the sea rise brightly; climb the chicken feet and watch the bright moon and watch the shadowless white pagoda; take photos of Cangshan Mountain and enjoy the early autumn and summer scenery!
