Dali ancient city

The existing ancient city of Dali was restored on the basis of Yangju Mee City in the early Ming Dynasty. The city is square, with four doors open, a tower is built on the top, and an Acropolis below. There are three streams in the north and south as natural barriers. The outer layer of the city wall is made of bricks. There are five streets running through the city from south to north, and eight streets and alleys from west to east. The entire city is in a checkerboard layout, known as nine streets and eighteen alleys. The two towers facing each other from the north to the south have been renovated. From south to north, a street runs through the city, with deep streets and alleys crisscrossing from west to east. The city's clear tiled houses and cobblestone walls show the simplicity, uniqueness and elegance of the ancient city.

Dali has a long history and is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yunnan. The long history is also reflected in the unique architectural characteristics of the ancient city. It has become a habit for Bai people to grow and love flowers, and the decorations on the walls of residential buildings have also been influenced by this. The flowers in the picture are painted on the white gable walls, making them fresh and elegant. In addition to painting, local people also often use white gray to make three-dimensional shapes and carve auspicious patterns in detail. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the oblique branches of bougainvillea sway, always in the corner of the eaves. After walking into Erhaimen, they really give us a different vision.

There are also many characteristic inns, bars, and restaurants in the ancient city of Dali. Just looking at this small bar from the outside, it must be full of excitement and excitement at night.

Xizhou

There are big banyan trees, gray tiles and white walls, four-in-five courtyards, three squares and one Zhaowei wall, and the winding path of the green stone road leads to the secluded scenery, with fragrant broken cakes

Xizhou, this is a place that attracts people just by hearing its name, and people can't help but go there to enjoy its joy.

Although the buildings of Dali Ancient City and Xizhou Ancient Town were renovated later, compared with the ancient city of Dali, Xizhou Ancient Town is a famous historical city and a typical commercial market town of the Bai nationality. The buildings here are older, and the overall color is black, white water and ink. It is simple and elegant, and the bricks and tiles on the houses have traces of friction and fading everywhere, which better reflects the simplicity of the ancient town. Xizhou is one of the famous hometown of overseas Chinese in Yunnan. It is also the hometown of the movie "Five Golden Flowers".

What is worth mentioning in the ancient town of Xizhou is the handicraft unique to the Bai ethnic characteristics-tie-dyeing.

Tie-dyeing was called "twisted" in ancient times. It is an ancient textile dyeing technique in my country. Dali calls it knotted cloth and knotted flower. Because the main place of production is in Dali, most of the cloth dyers are Bai people, so people call it Dali tie-dyeing and Bai tie-dyeing. Tie-dyed fabrics of different colors and patterns and sizes are hung on the white wall to be displayed for tourists, making it convenient for everyone to purchase. It is also a beautiful enjoyment to stop and linger among the elegant Bai folk houses.

There are hundreds of buildings in the town for Bai houses in the Ming, Qing, Republic and contemporary periods. The styles are generally divided into "three squares and one light wall","four in five courtyards","one in two houses","one in four courtyards","one in four courtyards" and other styles, among which the majority are "three squares and one light wall" and "four in five courtyards".

Erhai Lake

Erhai Lake, originally a lake, is named the sea because of people's love for the sea. The sea is not a sea, and the lake is not a lake. There is both the boundless vastness of the sea and the silent shadow of the lake. One scene is two colors, and both charms are evocative. What makes people most relaxed and relaxed is the tranquility and long-term comfort and the elegance away from the hustle and bustle.

The Erhai Lake is shaped like a human ear, long from north to south and narrow from east to west, like a crescent moon, lying quietly next to Cangshan Mountain and Dali Dam. Villages and towns such as Youcai Village, Xizhou, Shuanglang, Qose, Haidong, etc. are surrounded by lakes on the lake, each with its own customs. Dali Prefecture, full name of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, is located in the west by central Yunnan Province, adjacent to Chuxiong Prefecture in the east, Pu 'er and Lincang areas in the south, connected to Baoshan area and Nujiang Prefecture in the west, and connected to Lijiang area in the north. Dali Prefecture has a long history and is known as a "famous country in literature". It is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yunnan. For more than 500 years in the Tang and Song Dynasties (from the establishment of Nanzhao State to the collapse of Dali State), Dali has always been the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan. It is located on the low-latitude plateau, with little temperature difference between the four seasons and clear dry and wet seasons. It is dominated by the low-latitude plateau monsoon climate. The climate is mild all year round and the land is fertile. It is famous for its beautiful mountains and rivers and ethnic customs. The territory is home to Huadi Spring, Erhai Lake, Chongsheng Temple Three Towers and other attractions are the most representative. Dali has beautiful mountains and rivers, and is known as the "wind, flowers, snow and moon", namely Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, and Erhai moon.

The clouds in Dali cycle every day. In the morning, they form with the fog on the mountains and slowly rise. In the afternoon, they form a "Tindal phenomenon" above Cangshan and the afternoon sun. It was at this time that we saw the legendary light of Jesus, also called the "Dali Shenguang" by netizens.

The sunrise in Yunnan is the same as the slow-paced life in Yunnan. The sunrise is basically around 8 o'clock. It is completely different from the previous trip when you had to get up at 5 or 6 o'clock to watch the sunrise. After quickly washing up with Ran Xiansen, he rushed to the viewing platform downstairs to set up equipment and wait for the sunrise.

When I want to travel to Dali, I don't have to plan an itinerary to catch up with attractions. Even if I just sit by the lake, quietly watch the boat pass by and seabirds pass by, and then press the shutter to let my memory stay at this moment is a wonderful way to travel.

Digse is located on the east bank of Erhai, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side. It has been a land of fish and rice on the east bank of Erhai since ancient times. It is one of the birthplaces of Bai local culture with a long history in Erhai Haiti District.

In addition to being more original and quieter than the ancient city of Dali and Shuanglang, Ducai also has two biggest advantages. The first is that every winter, almost all the seagulls that fly from Siberia to the Erhai Lake to spend the winter are concentrated in Ducai Town; Second, it is located on the east bank of Erhai Lake and is the best place to enjoy the sunset along the Erhai Lake.

Every winter, the seagull elves make a long journey from distant Siberia, which seems to have become an agreement of "never leaving and never abandoning". They usually fly in November and leave in March and April of the following year. They will spend a warm winter in the beautiful Erhai Lake. It is precisely because of their arrival that the winter in Dali becomes so lively. Their beautiful figures soar among the land of Canger, making the beautiful Dali beautiful.

Lijiang ancient city

It was already very late when I arrived at the inn, and I didn't have time to see what the inn looked like. When I opened the door this morning, I felt it was so beautiful. This completely satisfied all my fantasies about Lijiang Inn. It was completely a garden with flowers and plants. The guest rooms upstairs and downstairs are all wooden structures, and the floor creaked when you step on it. There are exquisitely carved flowers and patterns on the door, and incomprehensible Dongba characters are written on the window paper. There are many rattan chairs in the courtyard, where you can sit and read books, bask in the sun, and be in a daze. The entire Naxi courtyard looks classical and simple.

Today's itinerary is relatively simple and easy, mainly for a day's stroll in the ancient city. The ancient city is exempt from the ancient city maintenance fee.

The ancient city is still very peaceful in the morning, which is in special contrast to the colorful and noisy ancient city at night. It seems to be in two places. Lijiang at night has pictures that are inconsistent with the traditional ancient city. It is really a capital of romantic encounters. However, the ancient city during the day does have its unique antique beauty. It seems that traces of history can be found and the shadow of time can be traced. The sun shines brightly on every alley, washing the blue stone road and decorating the entire ancient city.

Shuhe ancient town

Away from the hustle and bustle of the commercial market, people leisurely do their own things. Occasionally, carriages pass through the town. The river water flows quietly, nourishing the lush village, as if time is slowing down...

The delicious food in Shuhe Ancient Town is also not to be missed. The small pot of rice we ate was super good. The rice was mixed with many ingredients and braised. It was very fragrant. I liked it so much. There was also snow mountain fish. The meat was very tender and tender. It tasted crispy and was specially prepared. The preserved ribs were also very good. The bones were very deboned. It was amazing. It was the most satisfying meal in Yunnan!

Lugu Lake

Backlight shooting on the wedding bridge ~

There are no towers and water pavilions on the lake, no arched bridges and painted boats, only blue sky, clear water, white clouds, and light boats.

The first stop comes to the most lively Daluoshui Village. Daluoshui is the first village to enter Lugu Lake. It is also a must-visit place for most tourists to Lugu Lake. There are relatively many tour groups. The top of the land of the village extends to the center of the lake, with the broadest view. It is the largest and earliest developed Mosuo village in Lugu Lake.

There are many such hydrophilic platforms on the side of Daluoshui, as well as white tables and chairs like Shuanglang "Life in Haiti" to make up for the regret of not going to Shuanglang. It turns out that this is also a small and fresh village!

The mountain surface of Lugu Lake is shallowly covered with a layer of soil, and inside is typical of Kastian geology. The mud-covered mountains are lush with lush vegetation, lush forests, and rich in products in the mountains. Various fungi grow there, including Bigfoot mushroom, Cripedotes, Boltus, and the precious and rare Tricholoma matsutake.

The shape of these mountains is "seen horizontally on the sides of the mountains and forming peaks", and tourists also feel that people see benevolence and wisdom. The mountains of Lugu Lake are so magical, and they make people think about what to see, what to think, what to look like.

Boating in calm waters should be the correct way to open boating on Lugu Lake. Thinking of the stormy wind and rain during boating yesterday afternoon, I almost suspected that I had reached the fake Lugu Lake.

Lugu Lake is really beautiful on a sunny day. The lake is sparkling, the lake is particularly blue, and the water and sky are in the same color. It is a bit unreal beauty.
