Coming to Dali for the second time to experience the tourist life

Because it was my second time to come to Dali, I was not busy checking in at tourist attractions every day like ordinary tourists. Instead, I went shopping and cooking with my friends, drank tea and wine, went to the mountains to get spring water, and went to the forest to pick bamboo shoots. , experience the slow life of residence.

According to friends in Dali, summer in Dali is over as soon as the rainy season arrives, and it feels a little cold to wear a coat in the morning and evening. Even in the rainy season, the air is still dry, without the humidity of Guangdong. Today I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. The chickpea peaches in Shenzhen cost more than ten yuan per catty, but here they only cost five yuan. The ones that are in season are only 25 yuan per catty. I hesitated for a long time and did not dare to buy them for fear of poisoning, so I bought the ones for 20 yuan per catty. The porcini mushrooms, stir-fried with green pepper and garlic cloves, are also very delicious. The braised beef costs more than 60 yuan per pound. In short, for me who just went to Shenzhen, the prices here are really not high.

In Dali during the rainy season, the rain comes and goes away at any time. In the forest after the rain, mushrooms of different colors and shapes emerge from the ground one after another, like little fairies coming to a party. When the bamboo shoots are full of the God-given rain, they will joint up and pick a basket in a short while.

Dali University is built on a mountain. There is a Swan Lake on the campus with many black swans. However, some students do not know that its name is Swan Lake, but call it "Lover Lake".

In Yunnan, you don’t have to go out to watch the sunrise and sunset. Just the rolling clouds in the sky are magnificent!

The fresh and pure ancient city of Dali in my memory no longer exists.

Fortunately, there is still this interesting corner in An Zhiyu.

The only internet celebrity attraction in Dali——Jizhao Temple

If there were not so many noisy tourists, I would really like to be an old girl serving flowers and grass and raising meat in this nunnery, which is known as the most beautiful nunnery in China and the most artistic temple in China.

After visiting Ji Zhao Ai, we stopped by Dali’s small courtyard .

Zhihu said:

The small courtyard of Dali, located between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, is not a courtyard, but a large group of Bai-style courtyards, with gray roofs and white walls. It is quietly located in Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. It is a cultural and tourism real estate. It grows on the ridge of Cangshan Mountain, facing the Erhai Lake; 10 minutes' drive to the left is the literary and artistic atmosphere of the ancient city of Dali; 10 minutes to the right is the fireworks of Xiaguan's bustling city.
In the small courtyard, there is a village canteen, a staircase library, a sports ground, a gym, a boutique inn, a tea bar, a children's playground, and a five-star Hilton hotel. All the elements of slow life you want can be satisfied here.
The Staircase Library became famous for the recording of "Running Man". Many friends like this library, looking around and enjoying the wonderful afternoon sunshine...
There are many people with stories living in the small courtyard of Dali. Writers, illustrators, photographers, jade carvers, tea sommeliers, florists, yogis, media people, racing drivers, doctors and the leisure class are the standard here. People who choose to live in small courtyards each have their own reasons: some want to pursue poetry and distance; some want to temporarily escape the bustling and hustle and bustle of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou; and a large number of people come to escape the smog, and they call themselves environmental refugees~ ~
The yard is quiet. The room is simple and elegant. Outside the window, there are layers of small courtyards extending to the heights of Cangshan Mountain. There is no doubt that this is a suitable place for a little retreat.

At the end, I repost an advertisement for a small courtyard in Dali on Zhihu. It seems to be an ideal place to live. However, Dali has a high altitude, strong winds, and high housing prices, so it’s better to just pass by. Thank you to my friends in Dali for allowing me to live a slow life for the first time. I will have more patterns in my travels in the future, and I look forward to spending it with the people I am destined to travel with.
