Yunnan Travel Guide (DAY2) | Hello, Dali, nice to meet you

Caicun Pier · Cangshan Jizhao Temple · Majiuyi Village

To watch the sunrise in Dali, you don’t need to get up too early. The sunset is after 7 o’clock and the sunrise is after 7 o’clock, but it was cloudy this morning. Caicun Wetland Park has a Caicun Pier. When we arrived here, groups of tourists were already arriving one after another. Fortunately, they just went to the pier to take a boat ride, while we went along the seaside. Take a walk on the plank road and enjoy the tranquility of the morning.

"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky." I couldn't help but hum a song. A little further forward, there is a road extending into the sea, leading to Haixin Pavilion. I like this road. There are unknown flowers planted under the willow trees on both sides of the road. Looking into the distance, it feels like I am walking on the road to heaven.

Going to CangshanJizhao Temple was just a temporary idea. Jizhao'an is very beautiful, she is on Cangshan Mountain. If you like tranquility and succulent, then this temple in the jungle is your world. From the entrance stairs to the center of the yard, there are all kinds of succulents planted. We can’t shout excitedly, we have to protect the tranquility of this area. If you like tea, there is a tea room here with free tea sets so you can meditate while drinking tea.

Majiuyi Village is an internet celebrity check-in place, providing various internet celebrity check-in props: sky realm, sky ladder, crystal ball, white hanging chair... Most of the photos of Erhai Lake on the Internet are from here, so it has become a popular place for group tours. A must pass. After parking the car, we hurried away from the noise here. I wanted to find a quiet place to sit and look at the clouds and the sea. No matter where you fly a drone, there are always going to be kids. Sitting down on a bench outside the inn, I took out the drone, and a little girl came close to me, and soon we became mingled with her. "Let me show you a magic trick. As long as you wave your hand, it will start to fly far away..." Before she finished speaking, the little girl waved her hands and jumped up. "It really flew far away. It's amazing. Ah, hahaha~"...

Gusheng Village Shuanglang Ancient Town

Passing by Gusheng Village, it was said that Xi Jinping came to visit, so he went in for a walk. What I like most is the ancient bridge and the crystal clear stream under the bridge. Because we wanted to go to Huanhai East Road on the other side to watch the sunset before the sun went down, we just passed by Haitongue Park. This is a delta peninsula that extends all the way to Erhai Lake, from which Haitongue Park gets its name. Along the way, you can see that the scenery on both sides of the island is different. On one side, the waves are crashing on the shore, and on the other side, the green willows are shady and the waves are sparkling. The island is covered with large willow trees and tall wormwood. The Erhai Lake deep in the peninsula is clear and blue. It is worth your time here. Stay.

On our way to Double Corridor, we stopped to watch the sunset with a group of children. You guessed it right, they were all attracted by drones. In order to show them my superb control skills, I asked them to take a group photo with a low-altitude surround. However, due to carelessness, the plane fell into the grass. They all exclaimed in unison, and then watched this strange uncle jump into the grass anxiously to find the plane. When the strange uncle climbed up with the plane covered in mud and grass, they cheered...

Shuanglang Ancient Town was very lively at night, but we only wanted to eat because it was already nine o'clock in the evening. We chose a well-known local restaurant - "Shuanglang Dine at the Landlord's House" and ordered their signature "Tujia Eight Bowls". The food was average, but the portion was better. Our table was in the outdoor courtyard, and it started to rain while we were eating. I originally thought it would be quite romantic to drink tea and eat while listening to the sound of rain. Unexpectedly, the rain became heavier and heavier, and soon it even reached the table legs, so I had to move indoors... which also has a unique flavor.

Travel Advice · Forecast

·About food and accommodation

We chose to stay in Shuanglang today because it has the only sea view room since the Erhai Lake rectification operation. Facts have proved that living in Shuanglang is a good choice. There are many food choices. We chose Shuanglang to eat at the landlord's house. Maybe the food we ordered did not suit our taste and we thought the food was average. After dinner, you can also stroll around the ancient town at night, which is very lively and has some bars. More importantly, when you wake up in the morning and open the window, you will see Erhai Lake in front of you.

·About Huanhai West Road

I originally thought I could drive along Huanhai West Road, but it turned out that only non-motorized vehicles could pass by, and the car had to be parked in the village parking lot. If you are traveling independently, I suggest you rent an electric bike at Caicun Pier. You can ride along Huanhai West Road to Gusheng Village. The scenery along the way is very beautiful. If you have enough time, you can even ride to Haitang Wetland Park. , and then take a ride to Shuanglang.

Tomorrow, we will continue to turn to the sea along Huanhai East Road, all the way to Luwo Mountain. Then embark on the journey to Lijiang...
