I am almost unstoppable when I go on a long trip every year. I love to see the natural scenery. I used to buy playing cards with local characteristics, but now they are almost impossible to buy. I buy refrigerator magnets instead. One day I will cover the front of the refrigerator with them (laughs).
I started planning this year’s National Day trip in June last year. However, the highlight of the trip to Italy was strangled by the new coronavirus, so I retreated to the second place, Northern Xinjiang. When the COVID-19 epidemic broke out in Yuewu City, I was so frightened that I changed my route again and hurriedly decided to go to Yunnan (then something happened to Ruili, Yunnan again, and I raised the table in my heart: You are not done yet!).
The whole process was shot with a mobile phone 1+8p, which should have functions such as intelligent recognition, but without post-processing, it still feels amazing. If you take away the negative personal skills, the real scene will only be more beautiful.
Without further ado, let’s start sharing.
first day
I flew from my hometown to Kunming, then landed and took the high-speed train to Dali. Finally, I took a taxi to Shuanglang and checked in at 8pm. This is a casual photo taken at Kunming Changshui International Airport. The clouds at this time have already amazed me. However, at this time, I have not realized that the future will involve clouds that I am beginning to find annoying. It is indeed Yunnan. . .
The busy Dali Station is small. Isn’t it because of the new coronavirus that has just emerged in Ruili? Why are there so many people? There is a high-speed train from Kunming to Dali every half an hour. Each train has 16 carriages, and they are all fully loaded.
When we drove to the B&B in Shuanglang Ancient Town, night was still falling, but the scenery on the Erhai Lake still amazed tourists, but the mobile phone couldn't capture that feeling.
the next day
We went to Cangshan Mountain and Dali Ancient City early in the morning. After we got down, we went to Chongsheng Temple to visit the Three Pagodas. I originally had plans to go to Xizhou Ancient Town, but it was a bit late. Worried about the return trip, I gave up on this only place worth buying souvenirs. After returning, I really regret it to death. The hometown of tie-dye, Xizhou, was just missed. . .
I took random photos in the B&B. This time I wanted a room with a sea view, so I chose Shuanglang Ancient Town which is far away from the main scenic area. The transportation is really inconvenient, so I missed Xizhou Ancient Town. Remember, I will choose the one with convenient transportation in the future. Accommodation at the foot of the scenic spot.
The following two photos are my favorite photos from this trip, one is early morning and the other is sea view. (HD upload)
Cangshan Cableway, I always thought that Cangshan Mountain was just a small slope. Even with the two names of Cangshan Cableway and Geopark reminding me, I still didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. I bought the ticket and found out that this slope is nearly 4,000 meters above sea level. Already?
So, wearing a thin T-shirt, I went up to the 3,966-meter Cangshan Mountain, thus planting the root of a persistent cold during the middle and later stages of this trip. . .
Just put a picture here (my mother still couldn’t bear the cold weather after renting it at the top of the mountain). It’s very humid and windy at the top of the mountain. The whole thing is immersed in clouds and water vapor. There’s nothing to take pictures of, and it’s freezing cold. , due to the unexpected cold and high altitude, we gave up the trip to Ximatan at the top of the mountain, watched it for a while and then went down the mountain.
After coming down, there was nothing special about the tour in the mountains. I caught a strange tour bus, which was all tilted and climbed up and down the cliff. Have you seen this kind of thing in other scenic spots? The inside of the cable car is also very crude. It is said that it is some new German technology called balabala...
After coming down the mountain, I immediately felt the warmth and took a taxi to the ancient city of Dali. It can be said that it is an ancient city, but the commercialization is too serious. Except for one or two old houses deliberately preserved, it is really a complete commercial pedestrian street, which is very disappointing.
There’s also this fried scorpion centipede. Are any tourists really willing to try this? I didn't want to eat anything else, it was so disgusting. . .
Famous landmarks: The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are quite good. They occupy a vast area and naturally have a grand momentum. The middle pagoda has obvious traces of repairs. The pagodas on both sides are relatively old and worn. The remaining temples and the Main Hall There are too many things to look at so I won’t go into details.
