Yunnan used to be like a utopia in the hearts of many people, but in recent years, it has been hyped up in the media to be somewhat pretentious, literary and vulgar.
However, for me, every place is special. Just like you said, every place I have never been to is a paradise worth visiting.
I didn't know that I suddenly decided to go to Yunnan. Maybe it was because of a discount ticket, but I knew that it was just the trigger for this escape. I have been to Yunnan many times before, and every time I left, I knew that I would definitely set foot in this land again. The reason for starting can always be very simple. As long as you want to go, your footsteps will definitely arrive one day.
Busy and impetuous life, you always have to give yourself a period of time and live outside of time. This time, Yunnan took a self-driving road trip from Kunming to Dali to Meili Snow Mountain in Deqin.
I will tell you slowly about the surprise that I have traveled through.
For this self-driving road trip, I brought my Huaxia Credit Card. From the beginning of the trip, airport VIP lounge and rapid security check service, to using it to book wine and travel routes on the Ctrip app during the trip, to using the card during the trip, it was convenient and well-being.
Keep up and travel around Yunnan with your Huaxia Card, making your journey more enjoyable.
Days with sea and flowers ~
Probably few people can resist the healing power of Dounan Flower Market. Going there for the first time really looks like a child who has never seen the world.
It is said that seven out of every ten flowers in the country come from Yunnan, and Dounan carries more than 80% of Yunnan's fresh cut flower trade share.
The market was full of hot fireworks.
When I met hydrangea flowers that were more beautiful than endless summer, I bought roots and sent them home. A handful of sunflowers for five yuan can buy all the happiness. The legendary trunk can be filled with less than 100 flowers ~
Happiness overflows as much as the flowers here. Thinking about it today, how can I spend all 100 yuan here? I'm afraid I can't get it if I hold it with both hands.

In Kunming for a few days, it rained in the early morning, and the sun liked to come out in the afternoon.
When I arrived at Qian Xun Mo Wen, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and the autumn sun climbed up the branches, under the eaves, and on the tiles.
The wind chimes under the maple trees made a sound, playing with the light and shadow.
The flowing water of the stream in the courtyard of joy flows with the chirping of insects.
It is hidden in the city, from the mountains to the study room.
Taking a nap in the afternoon, in the small courtyard outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the fruits on the hawthorn trees suddenly fell on the wooden boards and ticked.
There is a separate hot spring pool in the courtyard of the room. Warm mountain spring water, milk and flower petals are in the dark night, and candlesticks are warm in the cool air.
The sound of crickets at night rings in my ears,
I don't know what night it is today, but the years are making a sound silently.

At dusk in the old street, light and shadow travel through the past and present.
Walk to every corner of the old street and vaguely trace its original appearance.
Cities are being demolished and built, and people's lifestyles are also changing. Old buildings are stacked with modern high-rise buildings, which are particularly distinctive at night in the city.
Sometimes I don't know what I am looking for. Every time I go, I always want to dig and discover its original reservations. Maybe I am a nostalgic person. Those things living in the past will somehow make me feel comfortable and lovely. The distinctive look brings me the tranquility I can stop.
An old street, counting the cultural imprints of a city?

---- I N F O ----
Address:Old block on the west side of Zhengyi Road, Wuhua District, Kunming City
Tickets:free
Time:Throughout the day, it is recommended from dusk to evening. Light and shadow make the old street more energetic
Notes on exploring the road in the old street:
>Old buildings:
In places where Kunming's old streets have a high incidence of production, every road paved with bluestone slabs and every old building with white walls and black tiles are memories worth cherishing.
This house, like Wukang Road in Shanghai, is doubly symmetrical, and many people stop here to check in.
>Jianxin Park:
Jianxin Garden in the old street is a century-old shop. I don't need to say much about the taste in Kunming people's memory. Boss, a bowl of cross-bridge rice noodles and a bowl of papaya water.
>Dongfang Bookstore:
Dongfang Bookstore is also a must-visit place to check in the old street. The century-old Dongfang Bookstore gives you the illusion of traveling through time and space as soon as you walk in.
>Zhao Lao Guan:
A very unique handmade rolled noodles, recommends cold rolled noodles, fried tofu, and braised pork sausage noodles.
About Old Street:
Regarding Kunming Old Street, to be precise, it is not counted around Kunming, but in history, it was once marginalized.
Just as every city has its history and origins, Kunming is no exception. In Kunming's history of nearly 2000 years, Kunming's old streets have now become a unique cultural mark of Kunming people.
This old street is called Yongdao Street, which is in the center of the city. In 1983, Kunming's earliest flower and bird market was established on Yongdao Street. With the passage of time, the merchants who built iron sheds on Yongdao Street and sold flowers, birds, fish and insects expanded out after making a lot of money, gradually forming the Jingxing Jewelry and Bird Market. In addition, these small businesses that represent the characteristics of the city's market even extend to Guanghua Street and Wenming Street. Now, the renovation and upgrading of Yongdao Street has been completed, and those merchants who once relocated have brought back their upgraded products.
The renovated Kunming Old Street is now a core part of Kunming's famous historical and cultural city and an authentic old neighborhood in Kunming. In terms of material culture and intangible cultural heritage, it has become an indelible cultural mark for modern Kunming people.
August 16th, a full moon night.
At the foot of Cangshan,
A round of Erhai moon.
---- I N F O ----
Location: Dali Caicun Wharf
BGM:Crystal Valley
Equipment:Sony a7m3 + Sony FE200-600mm, f/5.6-6.3
[Moon Shooting Tips]:
>If you use a normal lens to shoot, no matter how you zoom, you will only see a white point, let alone capture the texture on the moon. Generally speaking, when shooting the moon, of course, the longer the focal length of the lens, the better, but if newbies do not have a "cannon level" lens, they should at least use a 200mm lens or add an extended-range environment.
>Use full manual mode
When shooting moonlight, we are usually in a dark environment. Therefore, if you use semi-automatic or prerequisite mode when shooting, the camera may be misled by the dark surrounding environment and mistakenly think that there is insufficient light and slow the shutter or adjust the aperture wider. In the end, the photos will be overexposed because of this, so it is best to set the camera to full manual mode when shooting moonlight, try taking a few pictures, and then fine-tune it according to the environment. The following is one of the commonly used settings: aperture f/8, shutter 1/125, ISO 100. Of course, this is just a reference and must be adjusted according to actual conditions.
In Dali in early October, the sun was touching, and I couldn't help but run into the old times.
When I came to Caicun a few years ago, cars could drive directly to the lake, coastal roads, and Erhai Lake water rippled on the side. Now it has become Caicun Wharf, and the road from the entrance of the village to the Wharf is full of excitement.
Turning into the alley, I suddenly realized that it was still the slow-down time in my memory, the colors and images in the seal of Yunnan living outside the low-spirited time.
I like Erhai blue, which changes in saturation from morning to night.
In the afternoon, the sun shines directly on the Erhai Lake. Walking a few steps to the water's edge, the colorful stars are a close surprise.
Once again, I set foot on the land of Dali and took another road trip around the Erhai Lake.
When you are in a good mood, you can take a local boat and wander in the blue blue waters of the Erhai Lake for a while to feel the blue sky and clear water, as well as the wind blowing from the Erhai Sea. Sometimes it has a slight lake smell, but the taste will definitely not make you hate it.
At noon, the Erhai Lake is under direct sunlight. Go to the water's edge and get in close contact with the Erhai Lake. The colorful stars are a pleasant surprise.
Driving up the mountain and looking at the town where you slept last night with a different vision, you will also foolishly search for the house you lived in. There are so many seemingly boring little things during the journey that make the whole time lovely.
Seagulls usually come to Xiaoputuo in October and leave until mid-March of the following year. This migration brings a different scenery to Chose Town. The fish and nutrients in the Erhai Lake cannot meet all the needs of seagulls. Local people and villagers welcome such migration and provide gifts of delicious food so that they can see their return again in the coming year.
You must have seen blue skies and flying eagles, which have given you the impression of freedom. And does this Erhai blue and seagulls bring you the same feeling? It seems that blue and flying, combined together, are always exciting.
Surrounded by the sea, it's sunset. The sun is soft to the deep blue and shimmering on the lake. The village slowly fades away from the sun and stops quietly to watch it gradually change. This is Erhai Blue. From morning to night, it has a look that cannot be missed. At sunrise, noon, sunset, and stars, you will definitely find your favorite scenery.
At the foot of Cangshan Mountain, there are flowers of sea, rice fields, and white birch forests... similar to many memories of previous autumn, but there are more lovely places.
Come back again, this time I finally took my mother to a place I like. I hope she likes it.

In Dali in autumn, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger, and the gentle and touching sunshine during the day gives reasons to fully enjoy the Erhai Lake.
On a sunny afternoon, I drove around the Erhai Lake to sweep the streets, passing through those well-named coastal towns, looking for some images beyond the low-spirited time.
Xizhou, which is 34 kilometers away from Xiaguan, Dali, bordered by the Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west. Bai culture is still as vivid and vivid as its buildings, making you feel a touch of light and light.
Xizhou Town, the names of the towns along the Erhai Lake are unforgettable. The collision of colors can always inspire things to look better. Just like the red doors in deep alleys that can still be seen everywhere in these small towns, I always feel that when they are framed in one composition, they will be particularly beautiful.
The people I meet on my journey always make me wonder curiously about their lives. Thinking of meeting people, I feel magical and lovely. As an outsider, I must have ordinary and touching stories to stare at their lives.
The city is being demolished and built, and the lifestyle of the Bai people is also changing. The original market had tourists, and the images of those selling merchants naturally took root. I tried to walk to every corner of the village to see what it originally looked like. Sometimes I don't know what I am looking for. Every time I go, I always want to dig and discover its original reservations. Maybe I am a nostalgic person. Those things living in the past will somehow make me feel comfortable and lovely. The distinctive look brings me the tranquility I can stop.
The villages surrounding the Erhai Lake are all small fishing villages. You can imagine that they were all places built by the sea at sunrise and rested at sunset. You can imagine how local people used to live from those abandoned fishing ports where many rusty boats were moored. Fishing is now prohibited in the Erhai Lake, and only whitebait is allowed. When driving around the Erhai Lake, people like this can still be seen by the Bai people, and it may be rare in a few years.
It is not satisfying to surround the Erhai Lake, especially the coastal roads from double corridors to dug colors. Its attraction to me made me wake up in the morning on Shuanglang, and I couldn't help but go to the road and drive around to see what it looked like in the morning. The villagers work at dawn, and their hard work is as solid as this land, giving everyone a generous reward.
People living in Dali live romantic lives and live up to the reputation of romance and snow.
At the foot of Cangshan Mountain, I met Jizhao Nunan. The front yard and back of the house were full of meat ~
Wandering through the ancient tea-horse road left behind by the vicissitudes of life, even I have been forgotten beyond time.
In Dali in autumn, the temperature difference between day and night becomes larger, and the gentle and touching sunshine during the day gives reasons to fully enjoy the Erhai Lake.
Going up and down the mountain with mommy ~
Picking tea halfway up Cangshan Mountain, overlooking the distance, you can see all the small cities surrounding the Erhai Lake in front of you.
In early autumn, the water and grass near the Erhai Lake began to turn yellow. Boating in the Erhai Lake was a close surprise. Feel the blue sky and clear water, the wind blowing from the sea of Erhai, the faint fishy sweetness, and the water chestnut I pick up sometimes are all small blessings in the afternoon.
This was the first night I arrived at Shuanglang. In autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere, the Erhai Lake fills the night sky at 7 o'clock when the stars go dark. If you avoid the restful lights, run into a lonely alley, or walk to a terrace with the lights turned out, or drive to a wilderness. While feeling lonely, this land will generously gift you a starry sky.
Many years ago, I had forgotten what the starry sky looked like, let alone seeing meteors. In my memory, the starry sky belonged to when I was a child. Slowly, the starry sky became unfamiliar to us in the city. It was written in songs, poems, and movies. The impetuous life also inspired so many people chasing the starry sky.
It is wonderful that people may have a starry sky, a blue eye, and a city of lights. That moment of time about them will become profound and unique in many trivial memories.
In autumn and winter in the northern hemisphere, the Milky Way becomes less bright.
At 3 o'clock in the morning, I couldn't sleep in bed, so I simply went to the roof. The Milky Way had already risen above the Erhai Lake. The sleeping double corridors also make the starry sky more lonely. The pitch-black terrace was scary at first, but the night made every star seem to shine. Sometimes I looked up at the sky and watched meteors cut through the sky, and suddenly I felt that the whole The starry sky of the Erhai Lake is my own. Time flows under such a starry sky, and every second shines brightly.
Good things always come to fruition for a short time. I hope that every time I walk, I will have my favorite pictures, accompany me to write a story, and encounter another myself accidentally at every moment that cannot be forgotten.
Xizhou, an unforgettable name three years ago, still feels it. Finally lived here this time?
Walking through the streets in Xizhou Town, the composition frame of each grid is filled with favorite scenery.
In the afternoon when the sun is pouring down, the image in front of me still seems to be living in a low voice here, and time has stopped in the old time.
No matter how time goes by, ancient memories will always be there.
In Xizhou, Dali, the Bai nationality tie-dyed Erhai blue dyed with isatis root leaves.
Manual tie dyeing Get jQuery1710140126010079695_1602016954663jQuery171043311551469705123_1602174044432jQuery17108810031608412741_1602216767942?
I love snowy mountains too much and starry skies too much. When the two are perfect together, I am willing to be on a whim.
Driving all the way from Dali to Deqin.
I live in a city where I can't see stars. They appear in movies, songs and memories.
Every night I meet you,
I am like a star,
I couldn't sleep.
Rising from the brightest stars at night, the stars connect the day and night of sunrise.
Stories about the stars are hidden in the deep blue night sky.

When the sun sets into the Erhai Lake, I return to the hotel, I try to help the owner and take care of the terrace as carefully as he does, as if I had truly entered a life here.
In fact, travel has never solved any real problems, but with every departure and arrival, I can feel the weight of time more, and it also allows me to understand and love life itself more after every return.
There is a long time ahead, together on the road.
