First acquaintance with Cangshan and Erhai

Dali is famous for its "wind, flowers, snow and moon"."Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon". The scenery of Dali is as beautiful as its name suggests. Cangshan Erhai Lake is a must-visit place to Dali.

Although the Erhai Lake is called the sea, it is actually a freshwater lake. Legend has it that the Bai people live deeply inland and have never seen a real sea. To express their yearning for the sea, they call it the Erhai Lake. Located on the east side of the ancient city of Dali, at the foot of the lush Cangshan Mountain, the water is blue. It is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers and unique villages and towns. Living by the Erhai Lake for a short time and driving around the lake are good choices to experience the customs of Erhai Lake.

Cangshan Mountain, opposite the Erhai Lake, faces the Erhai Lake and surrounds Dali. If you have time, you can climb Cangshan to see the scenery. It will be a different experience.

A trip to Dali in the wind, flowers, snow and moon

D1. Shanghai-Kunming, Kunming-Dali (5-6 hours)

D2. Tour around Erhai Lake for 1 day

D3, Cangshan Day 1

D4, Dali-Kunming (5-6 hours), purchasing blueberries from the fruit wholesale market, Kunming-Shanghai

In early June, a round-trip air ticket to Kunming from Shanghai was simply a cabbage price, with a round-trip tax of less than 600 yuan. Considering the convenience of travel, the five of us rented an SUV at Kunming Airport and drove all the way west to Dali. If you have enough time, it is recommended to take a bullet train from Kunming to Dali.

Self-driving line around Erhai Lake

The entire circle of the Erhai Lake is about 140 kilometers. If there is enough time, you may wish to spend 2 days enjoying the Erhai Lake in depth; if you only have 1 day, you can visit the classic attractions to experience the trip to the Erhai Lake.

Dali Ancient City-Caicun Pier Wetland Park-Xizhou Ancient Town-Haishue Ecological Park-Huayu Ranch-Huadi Spring-Shuanglang Town-Wase Town-Xiaoputuo-Luoquan Peninsula (Tianjing Pavilion)--Haidong Town (Jinsuo Island, Yinsuo Island)--Dali Ancient City.

We only have one day to travel around the Erhai Lake and we are in a hurry, so not every scenic spot checks in. Personally, we feel that the scenery of the Erhai Lake is on the road, and we can walk and stop along the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake.

The first stop is on the Erhai Lake Road

Looking at the Erhai Lake up close, it can be said to be clear water and blue sky, green trees and beautiful scenery. It can be beautiful at a glance.

We stayed happily for a long time at the first parking place.

Second stop near Tianjing Pavilion

You don't need filters with good weather when you stop and shoot.

Butterflies and bees are so cute.

The third stop is on the Erhai Lake Road

Facing the Erhai Lake, flowers bloom in warm spring.

Melon-eating people.

After Director Liu guided the movements, he exited satisfied, haha.

Director Liu personally went into the battle to demonstrate standard postures. Even girls could do the enchanting postures, which was a piece of cake for Director Liu.

The fourth stop is Xiaoputuo

Xiaoputuo is located in Haiyin Village, Wose Town, east of the Erhai Lake in Dali. It is a small island in the lake about 20 meters away from the shore. There is a Guanyin Pavilion built on the island, which is very famous locally. Tourists can visit the island by boat or take photos of the island on the shore.

Driving further, there are scenery everywhere.

Love see it?

Fifth Station Shuanglang Town

Shuanglang is located on the east bank of Erhai Lake. Today's Shuanglang has become synonymous with petty bourgeoisie sentiment. Many people say that when they come to Dali but not Shuanglang, they have never been to Dali. Therefore, this once-peaceful Shuanglang town is now crowded with inns and tourists are bustling and endless. But even so, Shuanglang is still a must-visit town when visiting Dali.

There are many bars and teahouses on the side adjacent to the water.

Linshui Inn is expensive, but of course, the environment is naturally beyond question.

Mark's affair.

Sixth Station Huayu Ranch

A fee-paying attraction I drove past cost 40 yuan/person. I didn't expect it to bring us so much joy. Here is a large sea of flowers next to the Erhai Lake Highway.

There are various photo themes in the park such as jeeps, Internet celebrity seats, and colored tires.

Director Liu's enchanting posture reappeared.

Seventh Station Xizhou Ancient Town

A large number of Bai folk houses are preserved here, full of strong Bai customs. It's just that we arrived in Xizhou at around 7:30 p.m., and the shops in the ancient town are basically closed. We didn't go deep into the ancient town. We look forward to seeing the quaint beauty of Xizhou next time we go to Dali.

Stay at Dali Slow View Seaview Art Hotel

Dali Slow View Seaview Art Hotel is located on the edge of the Erhai Lake, in the Dali Mansion of Huanglong Mountain, Beautiful Huanhai East Road, Dali City. The location is more suitable for self-driving, but you can provide free transfers from Dali Airport or Railway Station when you stay. In the courtyard area of the inn, there are lush green plants, delicate flowers, huge lawns, Internet celebrity landscape pools, and a pool terrace with curtains. This is not only suitable for vacations, but also suitable for taking photos. It will be particularly good when taken on sunny days. The overall design is Nordic style, simple and atmospheric, good hardware, careful details, and large rooms, basically 50-60 square meters.

The first floor is the lobby, restaurant, book bar, coffee bar, barbecue and fireplace. Breakfast was provided in the morning and I ate the well-known rice noodles. Previously, I read reviews that the breakfast rice noodles here were much better than those in the ancient city. It really deserves its reputation.

On the third floor of the inn, there is a sea-viewing platform with good views, which is accompanied by Cangshan and Erhai, and the clouds are rolling and comfortable.

Overall, from the location of the hotel to the name of Slow Place to the design of the room, it can highlight the owner's good taste and is an inn worth staying in.

Love letters from Dali clouds, looking for a peaceful place

Dali Cloud Love Letter Inn is located on Yuer Road, the ancient city of Dali. It is within walking distance of all restaurants and shops around it. The Nordic boutique inn with simple and mixed Chinese design, elegant interior decoration, friendly housekeeper, and considerate and thoughtful service are full of exquisite and comfortable.

As soon as you entered the gate, you saw that various succulent plants were planted in the courtyard. The courtyard floor was covered with white stones, with several bluestone slabs embedded among the stones.

Find a peaceful place in this city away from the hustle and bustle.

Dali rice candy yard

The lively Renmin Road Pedestrian Street next to the ancient city is not along the street, so you may miss it if you are not careful. The inn has various themed room types, multiple tea-tasting areas and open-air courtyards. Since we stayed late at night, we stayed in the standard room of Hetang Deep Courtyard, which was the closest to the courtyard. The stay experience was average, and we only stayed for one night. The environment of the inn is reasonably decorated.

Dali cuisine guide

[Fat Ding is in Dali·Fungus Restaurant]

The small gourmet restaurant with the theme of wild fungi is located at No. 170 Huguo Road, the ancient city of Dali. It is only 2 to 3 minutes 'walk from the store on Renmin Road. The location is convenient and very quiet. The two-story building has a modern and simple style, fresh and bright restaurant, which conforms to the tastes of modern young people who like delicious food. The base of the restaurant's soup is Matsutake chicken soup, which is delicious. The meat of the restaurant's chicken is delicate and has a wide variety of wild fungi. However, many fungi cannot be named, but they are all delicious. Dali is a small shop worth eating!

[Achang Specialty Slate Bakery Star Store]

I still miss the sizzling oil and the fragrant meat. In the food stall environment, you need to be self-reliant and cook yourself. There is a white roasting plate on each table, which is heated evenly when roasting to maintain the original flavor of the meat. I chose some dishes based on reviews and personal tastes. The meat here is basically stewed, so it is quite easy to roast and tastes good. The walls of the store are covered with photos of the owner and celebrities from all walks of life.
