Mr. Shen Congwen's essay "Looking at the Clouds" published in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao in December 1940 is really interesting to describe the clouds in Yunnan and reminds me of the south of the colorful clouds.

Ordinary days require a little courage to leave at will and drive a new digital golf to the storied western Yunnan and Yunnan!

Dali-Beautiful name, romantic and snowy moon

1.

"When the wind goes down, the flowers go up, and the wind goes down and the flowers go up;

Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow."

--Cao Jinghua

Even if you have never been to Dali, you will definitely think of Dali if you hear the romantic word "wind and snow", or you will know Dali simply and directly because of marble (marble is also known as marble, English: Marble originally refers to white limestone with black patterns produced in Dali, Yunnan Province), or because of Duan Yu and Zhao Linger...

In fact, these are not so important, because we all know that Dali is a place favored by the Creator. Here, the mountains are called Cangshan and the lakes are called seas.

In Dali, there are spring scenery that has never left, and spring scenery that has never been let down.

In Dali, everything you can see is scenery.

Xizhou, sincere joy, beyond words

"Travel is not only about sightseeing, but also about a deep understanding of local customs." Xizhou is such a place.

Xizhou is the most beautiful Bai village around the Erhai Lake and one of the birthplaces of Dali culture. Nearly 100 Bai houses in the Ming, Qing and Republic of China are relatively completely preserved here. It is not only a "paradise" for lovers of ancient architecture, but also home to the "Hometown of Bai tie-dyeing", the largest Bai village in China, the largest ethnic natural village in Yunnan, and Zhoucheng Village.

The tie-dyeing raw materials of the Bai people are pure cotton white cloth or cotton and linen blended white cloth, and the dyes are natural plants such as Polygonum blue, Isatis root, and mugwort grown in Cangshan. Through processes such as design, drafting, stitching, dyeing, thread removal, rinsing, and inspection, the production is complicated.

The Bai tie-dyeing skills were selected into my country's first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists in 2006.

Tengchong, a place of extreme edge, full of beauty at all seasons

Driving 300 kilometers southwest from Dali takes about 5 hours to reach Tengchong. Tengchong not only has beautiful scenery but also an unforgettable history. "Tengshang" attaches great importance to culture and the efforts of every Tengchong person during the War of Resistance are admirable.

In Tengchong, I saw all year round, with cherry blossoms, hot springs, volcanoes, ginkgo trees, and dreamlike clouds of clouds.

The Longjiang Bridge is a control project of the Baoshan to Tengchong Expressway. It spans the Longchuan River Valley and has a total length of 2,470.58 meters. It is the largest highway suspension bridge in Asia and the first ultra-large span steel box stiffened beam suspension bridge in Yunnan Province. During the construction process, this "air bridge" has applied many domestic initiatives, obtained more than 20 patents, and was selected into the CCTV documentary "Super Project." Shuttling through the Dateqiao in Longjiang is like walking in the clouds beyond thousands of mountains.

It was December, in Ginkgo Village, Ye Zhenghuang.

Jiangdong Ginkgo Village is located in Gudong Town, Tengchong. It is known as Ginkgo Village because of the distribution of more than a thousand acres of concentrated and contiguous ancient ginkgo trees in the village.

The village is in the forest, with trees and houses guarding each other, making it peaceful and far-reaching.

Heshun-harmony but difference, sharing beauty together

Visiting the ancient town is also one of the purposes of our journey.

Heshun is located in the southwest of Tengchong. It is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Yunnan. The entire ancient town is built along the mountains, with ups and downs, neatly arranged and orderly.

I never imagined that on the border of the motherland, I could see the exquisite architectural works built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, combining Chinese and Western, demonstrating the beauty of integration and creation.

When we were young, we always thought that our ideal life should be somewhere else. In fact, whether life is good or not depends only on what kind of daily life is like. A better daily life is what life should be like.

"Slow tasting the fireworks of the world, and leisurely observing the world for a long time."

The taste of the mortal world is actually the smell of fireworks. It's a bowl of bean noodles from Tengchong, it's a cake baked on the stove...

The years are still, and squatting at the door and smoking a cigarette is the most pleasant.

There are trees, mountains, earth, and years. Every day in Heshun seems ordinary and poetic.

"Hello, public"

--One thought is constant, and the beauty lasts for a long time

This trip to Yunnan was completed by driving Volkswagen's new digital golf since the plane arrived in Dali.

"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to it." We headed west, from Cangshan to Gaoligong Mountain.

Golf is Volkswagen's classic model. Since its birth in 1974, it has always been one of Volkswagen's best-selling cars. Golf 8 continues the classics, but also has many innovations. For example, the HMI design of CNS 3.0 is the first for Volkswagen models, and the new digital operation also brings a new driving experience to this journey.

In Yunnan, there are high mountains and steep roads and many corners. From Dali to Tengchong, the number of kilometers is not much, but it takes 5 hours to run solidly on the high speed. Fortunately, I am driving golf this time, so I don't have to worry about driving. Power issues.

While driving on the highway, just say "Hello, Volkswagen" to wake up the smart operating system, freeing hands and making driving safer; the new Digital Golf is equipped with the EA211 series engine, which can be combined with free and changeable driving modes, can easily cope with complex road conditions. At the same time, the Travel Assist full-journey driving assistance system, coupled with the new digital cockpit, also relieves the fatigue of this long-distance driving; L2 autonomous driving incorporates a pre-collision protection system and a multiple collision prevention system to make the journey more secure;

Western Yunnan is surrounded by mountains and canyons and has steep terrain. Although it is a high speed, the speed limit is often 40 or 50km/h. The front-looking camera in the car is also provided with the whole vehicle is connected to the Internet. It combines navigation and vehicle data to identify road traffic signs and will The detected valid signs are displayed in the meter. If the current vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit shown on the sign, the system will issue an audible and visual warning. He was the most considerate partner during this trip. He accompanied me to give me tips on unfamiliar sections and arrived at my destination safely.

Porsche's same electronic gear shift replaces the mechanical gear handle, saving more space for the central control and realizing wireless charging of the mobile phone; the 10.25-inch full LCD instrument panel and the 8.25-inch central control touch screen cooperate with carplay and carlifted applications to make driving no longer boring; the first-time Harman Kardon Audio allows music to follow along the way, a new touch experience. You can open the panoramic sunroof with your fingers and enjoy the Yunnan sunshine in the car.

Although Yunnan is like spring all year round, the temperature difference between day and night in winter in western Yunnan is huge. Especially after the wind blows in Xiaguan in Dali at night, I want to hide in the car as soon as possible and search for a car with one click on the mobile APP. The system can always automatically plan out the best car search route so that I can be less exposed to some cold wind ~ Enter the car, change to a warm-looking atmosphere light, and the interface I like. The cabin immediately transformed into a "warm cabin", turn on the seat to heat, and the whole body warms up, and the car becomes a refuge for cold nights.

Because of Volkswagen's new digital golf, this self-driving trip in western Yunnan will be a pleasure in driving, calm mind, and relaxed and comfortable. I enjoyed Yunnan's mountain roads, felt the fun of driving high-tech and digital cars, and felt Yunnan's unique humanistic charm.

Driving in the sunshine of Yunnan, my shoulders, back and heart feel hot. Life is reborn from fatigue, reshaping daily life, starting with all-digital golf.
