Today, we are finally going to start our trip to Dali. When mentioning Yunnan, the first place name that pops out of my mind is Dali. For me, first of all, it has a profound historical background, and more importantly, it is the legendary Nanzhao Dali Kingdom written by Mr. Jin Yong. Of course, there are also its "wind, flowers, snow and moon" (Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon), this is Dali.

One of the best ways to explore Dali is to drive along the Erhai Lake. Erhai Lake, shaped like an ear, is a plateau freshwater lake. The water of Erhai Lake is crystal clear and has high transparency. It has been called "the flawless jade among the mountains" since ancient times.

You must take photos while visiting Erhai Lake, but it’s a pity that the sky is not beautiful.

Flower Ranch is very large, but the flowers and plants grown inside are average, and the traces of artificial landscaping are also obvious, but it still cannot stop tourists from staying here.

There are seven dwarfs in the fairy tale, but where did Snow White go?

The world is vast and travelers are in a hurry. May the beauty of this world always exist, and may you and I have a bright future.

Shuanglang, also known as Shuanglang Ancient Town, is close to Erhai Lake and has the reputation of "the first town with Erhai Lake scenery in Cangshan Mountain". Dali is where the Bai people live. The Bai people call hardworking filial, kind and beautiful girls "Golden Flowers", and men are called "Apeng". Public introductionThe film "Five Golden Flowers" was shot here (Unfortunately I haven't seen it, I'll go home and make up for it )

Today's ancient town still retains complete Ming and Qing historical and cultural blocks and hundreds of typical Bai traditional Ming and Qing residential courtyards. Ancient and modern, literature and rock, are perfectly integrated in such a small ancient town.

Walking along the main road, you can see Nanzhao Fengqing Island, facing you far away. Nanzhao Fengqing Island is the location of the historical royal palaces of Nanzhao and Dali. Tourists can take a cruise to visit the island. We didn't go. I chose to walk all the way to Yuji Island, wanting to see the Sun Palace and Moon Palace of dancer Yang Liping.

Jade Ji Island is also known as Yuji Island, named after Yuji Temple. There is a well-preserved thousand-year-old Bai fishing village on the island. Every household has running water and grows flowers, which is rich in the national fishing culture.

Go downhill from Yuji'an towards Erhai Lake, pass through a narrow alley, and arrive at the Sun Palace and the Moon Palace . The Moon Palace is not open to the public, and reservation is required to enter the Sun Palace. We can only stop and watch from a distance. From the outside of the Sun Palace, you can imagine the luxury and luxury inside. Some places can leave wonderful memories just by arriving, and that’s enough.

Walking up the zigzag steps from the Sun Palace, there are ruins of the fort. Climbing high and looking into the distance, the line between sea and sky is beautiful.

We walked back the way we came, stopping and taking photos.

On the Erhai Lake, the waves are rippling and the boat is swaying. Imagine living in such beautiful scenery, your mood should be beautiful every day.

Continue along the Erhai Lake and arrive at the resort town of Ideal State with the city of Santorini. Ideal State is a free and open resort town. Because its architectural style is very similar to that of Santorini, and it is located on the shore of Erhai Lake, facing Cangshan Mountain, it has become a must-visit place for many internet celebrities to check in.

Pure blue and white, blue sea, blue sky, beach, castle, you can feel the romance of Santorini in Dali without leaving the country.

Climbing up the stairs to the top, you can experience the scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake from different perspectives. The clear blue sky, white clouds, and scattered houses come into view one by one.

In the small town of Santorini in the East, there are a large number of hotels and B&Bs staying here, each with its own characteristics and various postures.

This is a castle in a fairy tale, with different levels. Standing at the lowest point and looking up, it looks like a maze. I really got lost , failed to go to the essence area , regretted leaving .

Continue on the road and travel 360 degrees around the Erhai Lake.

The whole path was full of scenery of Erhai Lake, and we entered city (Xiaguan ) . Cross the exotic Xing Grand Bridge. It is said that the hit drama "Siteng" was filmed here. Unfortunately, we couldn’t park and couldn’t take a panoramic photo.

The hotel we stayed in had large floor-to-ceiling windows, so we could have an unobstructed view of the Erhai Lake while lying on the bed. It was great. Take a short rest and go downstairs to find food. We will still go to Dali tomorrow.
