[Travel Notes in Running Account]

 

Today’s plan is just 3 words: Around the Erhai Lake.

 

There are so many luxury cars for rent in the city, but I have no choice but to drive them. We rented a car and went around Erhai Lake for a day. The name is Erhai, which is actually a lake. Compared with the scenery of Blue Moon Valley and Lugu Lake, Erhai Lake can only be regarded as extremely average. The water of the lake is neither blue nor green nor clear, but it is just famous. The running account record is as follows:

 

First stop: S bend in Fengxi Village. This is a place where new Internet celebrities check in. There are many young ladies taking wedding photos and artistic portraits. This section of the sea is considered to be the cleanest and clearest in the entire Erhai Lake. Stones and trees can be seen everywhere on the waterside. The S-bend just extends towards the Erhai Lake. The water and sky are the same color, making it easy to get pictures. Therefore, the shore is full of large and small photography shops, and the sound of attracting customers is endless.

 

Second stop: Xizhou Ancient Town + Shuanglang Ancient Town. These two are very similar, so let’s talk about them together. After having been to Lijiang Ancient Town and Dali Ancient Town, when I look at this kind of ancient town, I actually think it’s nothing. It’s essentially just a shopping district cloaked in ancient buildings. In Xizhou Ancient Town, the two had a big quarrel over the dispute over the shopping rhythm, which was just a minor incident; in Shuanglang Ancient Town, they visited the museum donated by Yang Liping and drank a glass of very delicious freshly made juice. I almost got cheated out of 50 yen after picking out a few fruits...

 

The third stop: Xiao Putuo. There are no pigeons in this season, so I left without getting off the car.

 

The fourth stop: Utopia. The most worthwhile stop is known as "Santorini Dali Feni". In the end, I ran out of time and really regretted why I didn't come earlier. The European-style buildings are colorful, and against the backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds, clear wind and green water, they are beautiful, beautiful and beautiful. The scenic spot is huge, and by the agreed gathering time, there was still 1/2 of the area left to explore, but both of us were already exhausted.

After returning to the B&B, out of concern for my wallet and the mentality of having fun to get back my money no matter how tired I am, I walked around the ancient city alone at night. Crowded with people,

 

I walked around a bar street three times and finally decided to go to a bar where the band's singing was pretty good. After singing a song, the singer was changed. Damn it! I ordered the cheapest set meal, 80 Ocean, including 2 bottles of beer and a plate of melon seeds . After listening to the song for about half an hour, it was not interesting, so I left angrily.
