DAY 23 (April 30) Kunming - Lufeng

I had breakfast with Brother Lin this morning and helped me pack the car. It’s been a long time since I said goodbye. Before I left, I helped me install the car lock and anti-stab strips. There is no repayment. I can only go to Lhasa with his will

The last time I came to Yunnan, I had already played in Kunming for a few days. I thought that the May Day holiday was coming, and there were so many people in the city that I didn’t stop there, so I went straight to Dali.

Compared with the high prices in Anning, Lufeng seems very close to the people. There are many hotels, which are also very cheap. They are more like preparing for parents who accompany students. This is more like a new city developed by education. Students can be seen everywhere on the road. Connected to several schools, a vibrant city

When I was having dinner, I met four big brothers who were engaged in engineering, and they chatted when I went in. I bought two bottles of water. When I paid, the boss told the big engineering brothers to give me my meal money when I went to the bathroom. The boss He also invited me to drink a bowl of soup, and told me many times that I can add more if the food is not enough. In the end, he kindly persuaded me not to set up a tent outside. There are many cheap hotels on the next street. At that moment, my eyes were moist. got a good impression

DAY 24 (May 1st) Lufeng-Nanhua

This morning, the section of Yanjiang Road from Lufeng to Yipinglang has a good scenery, and the ups and downs are not too big. I feel comfortable riding, and then I went on a section of the Burma Road

Chuxiong Yiren Ancient Town, a commercial ancient town that has not been built recently, is quite big, and there are a lot of people during the festival, so I didn’t go in when I was on my way.

In Luhe Town, I met the uncle from yesterday and talked all the way to Nanhua. It turns out that he rides a long distance every year, including Xinzang and Sichuan. This time, he plans to go from Yunnan to Tibet. , When I first learned about the Sichuan-Tibet line, I bought a car and set off from Lanzhou to ride Lhasa. At that time, I didn’t know what shifting was all about. I worked in one gear all the way to Sichuan, and I pushed it when I couldn’t ride on a big slope. Now I am an old driver, and I have learned a lot from him, haha

DAY 25 (May 2) Nanhua-Xiangyun

I saw a very strange plant on the side of the road this morning, like a lotus, but it kept growing, and there were no leaves beside it. I checked it later and found out that it is a flower of the ground. It is a unique flower in China. It is simple, elegant and pure. , The sacred good meaning has a great relationship with Buddhism. In Buddhism, the lotus can be said to be its holy flower, and the bottom of the Diyong Golden Lotus is just like the lotus, which represents the relationship between goodness and evil. Therefore, the beautiful meaning of the Diyong Golden Lotus is the most important thing for the masses to like it. The reason will also appear in Buddhist portraits.

I met four riders from Kunming at the Maobanqiao Reservoir, riding Dali during the May Day holiday

Later, the circle of friends learned that he was a small wheel skill enthusiast, but the small wheel is really not suitable for riding this kind of mountain road. Later, he went back home when he arrived in Lijiang

When I arrived at Xiazhuang, a lot of cherry trees were planted on the side of the road. It was just on the market. It cost 15 yuan a catty. I tried one, but the meat was not firm enough. I saw that there were some cherry trees on the roadside that no one cared about. I picked one and tasted it. I spit it out in one mouthful, it seems that no one cares for a reason

On the road, I met a lot of live streaming internet celebrities who pull carts on foot. It has been exposed on the Internet that they hike during live broadcasts, and then use cars to pull them when the live broadcast stops, haha

I did a first-class slope as soon as I came here this morning. I didn’t expect to rush to Xiangyun Town before dark. It happened that the sky was very cloudy. Xiangyun

DAY 26 (May 3) Xiangyun - Dali

In the morning, start with a 3-kilometer climb, a 7-kilometer downhill, and then an 11-kilometer uphill, and a 9-kilometer downhill. It’s really not too exciting. This is the rhythm of entering the plateau mountainous area.

Give advice

Arrive in Dali in the afternoon, when you arrive near the Erhai Lake, there are more people

Entering the ancient city is even more crowded, the feeling of the whole commercial pedestrian street

The quality of singers here is the best I have been to so many ancient cities and pedestrian streets

Dali's cloud is quite powerful

Full of food, drink and entertainment

Today, I met two trolleys walking to Lhasa again. Is this a trend?

DAY 27 (May 4th) Dali Ancient Town

Today we arranged to walk around the ancient city

Jin Ximei comes from Xinjiang. It uses fresh prunes to remove the purple peel and core. The flesh is amber. After proper curing and saccharification reaction, it will show a bright and transparent golden pink color, which is crisper and sweeter than candied fruit.

Yu'er Garden

DAY 28 (May 5th) Dali Chongsheng Temple

A day trip to Chongsheng Temple was arranged today

First pass through the ancient city and come to Yita Park. The Hongsheng Temple Pagoda inside is not inferior to the Three Pagodas. However, during maintenance, I originally wanted to get in, but was discovered by the security guards, so I had to give up.

Dali Ancient City Museum

As an ancient capital, it does have its heritage, but unfortunately, the city towers are under maintenance, and they can’t go up. They have been under maintenance for more than a year. I don’t know if the government has shut down.

There are actually Dali No. 1 and No. 4 Middle Schools in Dali Ancient Town. They are on the street with the most traffic. How do you feel when you see countless tourists every day when you go to and from school?

In the Guanyin Temple, I ran into a donkey friend who lived in the same room at the Shilin Youth Hostel before, and chatted a few words. He used to be a teaching supporter, and now he has been traveling for a while. He is a person who can do whatever he wants. It seems that the package ticket he bought is also very convenient. cheap, only fifty

The royal temple is domineering, overlooking the entire Erhai Lake, the wall is not in vain, but the light is poor

Because the Wanghai Building at the back is under maintenance, this is the highest point

Start walking back towards the main entrance exit

If it wasn't for closing the door, I wouldn't want to leave

Dali will continue to be exciting in the next section
