Chinese people's understanding of "circle" is not only based on the emotion of family affection and love, but also the hope and longing for future life!
Therefore, take the companion "circle" as the theme of my first travel diary!
Some people say: If you love someone, take her to Dali, where there are pure romance!
Some people say: If you are not happy, go to Dali, where you can evoke the original simplicity and beauty of people!
This is my second trip to Dali!
The first time was in March 2019. I drove from Yibin with my wife, and went to the poems and distant places in my heart during the starry night.
At the beginning of the year, it was originally planned to take the whole family and another "reunion" trip for the whole family in Sanya in 2016!
Helpless, in February, when everything was ready, the sudden outbreak broke the overall plan!
There is no way, what should be refunded, what should be canceled, can only be obediently at home! Every night, I discuss the schedule with my son: now we should go to Xizhou, eat Xizhou Baba, taste rose-flavored ice cream... and put him to sleep! (God, only my unreliable father can come up with such a way)
Now that I think about it, I should have been poisoned by Dali, and there is no cure for it... (In the future, Dali will be the place where I put my heart and soul!)
But when I think about it carefully, although I didn’t make the trip during that time, I was with my parents and children, and the family was reunited (because of work, I haven’t had New Year’s Eve dinner at home for several years, including this year. On the morning of the second day, my parents drove 5 I came to the city where I settled when I was young), stay at home and don’t go out (except for donating masks on the street with my wife), let’s stay at home and be a good citizen, and don’t add chaos to the country!
2020 is destined to be extraordinary!
In March, my father was diagnosed with cancer, and the doctor said that the situation was not optimistic. At that moment, I clearly realized how important it is to "live in the present moment"!
So, while paying attention to the epidemic, while taking advantage of the holidays, I secretly decided in my heart: I must take them to Dali once!
On July 11, forget the exhaustion of the night shift last night and the consumption of the wedding host at noon, and set off at 14:07 with the original intention of crossing mountains and seas...
Crew certification, walk up...
The handsome main driver is none other than me... (From the perspective of the co-pilot, Han Bao)
Little Potato said: Rake, wearing sunglasses is cool enough!
Cut, what a stinky fart...
In July, the temperature in Yibin can no longer be described as a "heat wave". Being in it is no different from steamed corn bread! Looking at the weather of 17 or 8 degrees in Kunming and Dali, and listening to the owner of the B&B talking about the pride of having no air conditioner and needing a quilt to sleep at night, I couldn't help but put a big question mark in my heart? Really! ? Why was it not Jiangzi when I came in March 2019? Did I go to a fake Dali? !
When we arrived at the Yuele service area, the wind was blowing and it was chilly! Ouch, are you sure it's summer? ! It's like playing!
Quickly urge your family to get out of the car and add clothes!
Little Yangyuer kept saying, "Baba, I'm hungry and want to eat noodles!" OK, arrange! (A bowl that is bigger than the face, and sure enough... I didn't finish it)
The weather is really changeable. Just now, there were dark clouds, strong winds, and heavy rain. After passing through the tunnel, unexpectedly...
Maybe it was the air conditioner and the fan a few days ago. The soreness and irritation brought to me by the heat and cold all the way, the rush of the nose is no longer mine!
Arrived in Kunming at 22:30 in the evening, I was so tired that I didn’t want to eat, so why take photos! Take a shower and sleep, see you tomorrow...
I got up early the next day, my cold was much better, and I woke up to see the four giants...
Pack up and go out, live next to Dianchi Lake, it seems unreasonable not to go shopping! Well, let's go shopping...
Spring City is definitely not in vain.
During the dog days, no one can avoid the sweat dripping all over his body when going to other places.
Recalling the barbecue in Sanya in May 2016.
My God, Kunming, the moderate breeze mixed with the elegant fragrance of flowers and plants rushes me head-on, take a deep breath, and there will be an unprecedented comfort from the scalp to the toes!
Travel shots from Little Potato (boy, uh...my stomach)
Handicrafts from the virtuous wife "Hanbao"
This is my father-in-law and mother-in-law (father-in-law was a volunteer for 5 years when he was young, and he was also a leader. He has the ability to endure hardship and hands-on ability! After retirement, if there is anything in the family or relatives and friends that needs repair or help, father-in-law Absolutely perfect! The family is sewing, mending, cooking, a good hand, and keeping the house in order. This is one of the elders I respect the most!
The mother-in-law is an accountant when she is young, and she is well-known in the work unit! Being a human being and dealing with others has always been a role model that I can look up to! After retirement, he has been helping us take care of Little Potato, thank you! )
This is my father and my mother (since my father got sick, it’s rare to see them so relaxed! They started working at the age of 13, took a cart to support my aunt and father, and they were big truck drivers who traveled all over the world. They were very strong and tough guys! It’s just suffering My mother, after the operation, my daughter-in-law and I came back to work. My father’s chemotherapy in the later stage, my mother is all in charge of the house! I pray that this storm will pass soon and everything will be fine!!!)
Little Potato: Go, brother will take you home!
My father: I also look at Dianchi Lake, which proves that I have been here...
After 4 and a half hours, what imprinted in the eyes is the picturesque it...
It's it... (a piece of color that feels like Hayao Miyazaki's anime~~)
It's it, (Dali Qingsha Residential House*Xige)!
Falling in love with Xizhou often requires only one reason: slow down! Like the afternoon sun, an old man sitting under the eaves mending clothes, time flows quietly but is full. Greed for the raindrops dripping from the tiled eaves, and the warmth of the morning sun shining on the wooden floor through the window!
The heart is like still water, and there is no competition in the world! ! ! (At this moment, it is the real me and the life that my heart desires!)
Standing here, breathing the air almost greedily, all the beautiful words seem illusory.
That hot heart was awakened again! ! ! I wish time would pass a little slower, a little slower...
By the way, there is also their home - Tian Coffee, freshly ground and hand-brewed coffee, with different tastes, it depends on personal taste, I think it’s okay (I don’t know if it’s because I’m not used to it) It’s at the alley where I live , tens of meters is very convenient, the boss is a guy from Anhui, very enthusiastic
Little Potato: Rake, I want to drink too!
Children can't drink coffee! Forget it's a rare drink, okay, arrange it!
Food is the most important thing for the people, and "foodie" is the best interpretation of loving life, so, go out for food······
Enjoy the most simple but sumptuous dinner ever! It feels so solid to eat!
Especially when you are with your family, you don’t have to worry about how to talk, don’t worry about getting drunk, there is no flattery, intrigue...
Home is a circle, where you can eat around the table in a perfect way, eat with peace of mind in a perfect way, talk and laugh and let go of distracting thoughts. At this moment, you don’t ask questions, and your heart is calm!
Going home with the night, the place where the family is is home!
Facts have proved that the choice is correct (in fact, every time we travel, the accommodation of Hanbaoding can always surprise us, and the title of good housewife is really not covered). The dragon ball lamps are amazing, light up the lights, step into the house, and the whole is warm The world is close at hand! Close the courtyard door, and the family gathering begins... (I won't go into details here)
In other words, Xizhou is really quiet, and it cured my insomnia for nearly half a year. When I woke up, it was 9 o'clock in the morning. (There is an endless stream of people taking pictures every day, and the two mothers went to this old post office phone booth early in the morning)
The light rain is just right, the breeze is not dry, okay, today is around the sea...
The Cangshan Mountain in the distance seems to be covered with a layer of soft woolen blanket, which looks extremely warm! (Shuanglang seaside perspective)
How can there be fewer photos of family tourists? ! arrange
Little Potato: Well, this composition is still wide~~
Last year, the husband and wife tree, this year's Erhai Lake:
Well, it seems that we have grown a lot this year~~
It seems to have a sense of sight of graduating from college!
Well, it is indeed a bit~~~
It's just that there's one more idle meal~
The beauty of Dali cannot be explained in a few words! In addition to the wind, flowers, snow and moon, the changeable weather also brings more beautiful possibilities...
Light rain, sunshine, all the way
I'm hungry, let's go, let's eat, what to eat, mushroom hot pot~ (by the ancient city, the impression of the fire pond, I ate it once last year, it's not bad, the owner is also nice, and there's a yard inside. I'm going this year, it's being renovated, and the smell is strong , so I turned it outside, the taste is still good, this season is when fresh mushrooms are on the market, the taste is good, but the price is not so beautiful, the whole family of 7 people ate more than 1K, but it is worth the price)
Of course with this:
Dali is really a distant place that makes people suddenly see the light and shine! In addition to scenery, there is also luck!
Last year, I was fortunate enough to meet Dengzhou, the store owner (a super stylish female designer who opened a wood art studio by herself, and now has 2 branches, one of which is in Xizhou, from material selection to design, to Finished product, strive for perfection, this is also the biggest achievement of Taobao last year, this is what it looked like last year. I didn’t go to sit this year because of the schedule. Save some regrets for next time)
This is the tree I bought last year (because it was too tall to fit in the car, it was cleverly designed into two halves)
Character appearance: (the one on the left is the boss Dengzhou, if you need a message from Taobao, please contact me for contact information and address)
And this year in Dali, I ran into Han Bao’s favorite star in the restaurant (Chai Miduo Farm Restaurant) and took a group photo. I was so excited!
So here's the conversation:
Me: Xuan, my wife likes you very much, can I take a photo with you?
A celebrity: Come on, hurry up, I have to catch a plane!
Me: Thanks!
(In view of the protection of other people's portrait rights, the photo is exempted, in fact, it is Teacher Wei Zhe)
But Chai Miduo can have
Little Potato: I want to eat them all!
Two mothers:
Mother-in-law, this is not bad, buy some
Well, it's good, buy some and try something new
Do you really want to eat~~
Look at this color, full of pure organic~~
Asparagus is very refreshing, and you can feel the fragrance of nature from the tip of the tongue to the root of the tongue, covering the satisfaction of the entire taste buds!
Tomato beef, super rice, I made a whole 4 bowls of rice
Colorful rice is the specialty here, it tastes fragrant, but the taste is a bit hard
I haven't tried this fruit tomato, the color and size look pretty good
The color of the vegetables is very attractive...
Next, draw the key points and take the exam:
The braised pork has a good color. The moment you enter it, you feel that the two channels of Ren and Du have been opened up, and the full sense of satisfaction spreads from the toes to the top of the head, and you are completely awakened, just like the feeling of eating a ecstasy in "The God of Cookery". Especially the green fruit similar to olives is added, the taste is a bit like bayberry, the sweet and sour just neutralizes the greasy meat, just right, more sour and less greasy...
After dinner, it's always okay to have some fun!
Okay, go, have fun~~
Interesting places can be seen everywhere on the streets of Dali. My surname is Wu, so: (Remember to go shopping if you have time, the coordinates are at the Erhai Gate, report my name, break the bone, haha)
I thought it was opened by a friend, my sister's surname is Li, and my brother-in-law's surname is Ding:
There is a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant rush:
Do you remember when you were a child, playing hide-and-seek with your friends in the alley, and your mother shouted: Qianger, wash your hands and eat...
If the beauty of Dali is a kind of exquisite tranquility, then Lijiang is full of fireworks!
Personally, I like Dali's freedom, but I don't like Lijiang's commercial model.
Ok, one-day trip to Lijiang, arrange:
(Depart at 10 am, enter Dali Expressway from Shangguan, arrive in Lijiang in about two and a half hours, and return to Dali at 11 pm. I thought this was the limit, but I didn’t expect it to be more exciting later. Let me take a breath and talk about it )
Arrived in Lijiang after 12:00 noon, parked the car, entered along the gate of the scenic spot, turned right and walked about 20 meters, there is a restaurant - "Dianxi Prince Restaurant". The taste is good, the price is not expensive, and the decoration is ethnic style.
This cumin pork ribs tastes good, and the taste is suitable for spicy. For Sichuan people, the spiciness is not enough at all, but the ribs are soft and sticky, and the salad just neutralizes the greasy, which is a good match.
Rose brown sugar flavored glutinous rice balls are a good choice whether as a dessert or as a staple food. Doesn’t it mean that the taste of happiness refers to sweetness? The fragrance of roses and the sweetness of brown sugar envelop the entire taste buds in an instant, and quickly awaken the happy "sweetness" in childhood, exquisite! Next to it is beef. I forgot the name. The beef is very tender and smooth in the mouth. It is an absolute magic weapon for making rice.
This is a special copper pot fish. It is said that the mullet fish raised in the snow water of the mountains is used. The fish meat is very tender, slightly spicy, and the soup is rich and full. According to the store, the soup base has the effect of dehumidifying and moistening the lungs. Just imagine if it is winter, with snowflakes floating outside the window, you can stay indoors, have a bite of fish, and then drink soup with a bowl. Wow~ (Please make up your own mind) Anyway, I drank 4 bowls
After dinner, let's go, let's go~ (I remember that we took a family portrait 4 years ago, and thought that the boxer uniform worn by Little Yangyuer was very cute, so I suggested to buy him a set of national costumes this time, but I didn't expect to choose it myself. Wearing this outfit all day long, I look like a professional boxer wherever I go, I’m also drunk~)
The victorious meeting of the four giants
Grandma on one side, grandma on the other, ok!
Once, you were only 50 centimeters tall, and you were carried downstairs by your grandpa to sleep and then carried up to the 6th floor, and you were almost as tall as your grandpa in a blink of an eye!
Little potato, be filial to them when you grow up~
Rake rake, I'm thirsty, I want to drink milk tea. . .
Well, which glass should I drink? They all look good to drink
Haha, you greedy cat, I will show you what you look like now when you grow up
Dejikumayami, Bose Smodonawa
Naginaru Yami, Karma Dauphin Yami~~~
Family portrait perspective:
The two mothers are so happy~~
Of course I am happy, I have bought clothes that I am satisfied with~~
From Mom's perspective:
Time is so fast, the day trip to Lijiang is over
It seems not far from Shangri-La, more than 200 kilometers, 4 hours' drive
Satisfied with two mothers coming to Lijiang, two fathers have to balance, want to go to Xiangshi, arrange
This is one of my favorites, from Hanbao~~
Son, look, that is the country that father laid down for you
Oh, it's okay~~
Why do you come to the grassland? !
Of course horseback riding and archery~
We also experience the tough life of nomads~
What surprised me was the little potato
Cowardly, he actually completely let go
Riding alone without a groom
Grassland mascot, so cute~
Suddenly found that the grassland and the sea have many similarities
It can make people immerse themselves and think calmly
Can feel the insignificance of oneself
You can take off your defenses and let go of all your troubles
Can return to the original beauty of life
I want a life in full bloom:
Even if you are choked by fate, you must withstand the pressure and burn to your heart's content~~~
The road around the Napa Sea lacks the nourishment of water and lacks some of the tone it should have.
But it doesn't matter, people are alive, the most important thing is to be happy!
Human beings are often sensitive to pain and pleasure
For example, at the end of the trip, there are regrets, reluctance, expectations, and longings
On the way back, explore Kunming’s city streets, stroll around the flower market, and try a bowl of rice noodles.
This hand-labeled milk coffee tastes amazing. I don’t usually drink this kind of stuff, and I became a fan in an instant.
The entrance is full-bodied and full, never like the feeling of powder mixed with roadside stalls, the price is not expensive, 12RMB a bag
By the way, this thing is like Guiling jelly and ice powder. It's really good and sweet, just like the taste when I was a child.
I don’t know if this thing is authentic or not, but the taste is really good anyway:
If you are interested, you can try it (Nianziqing crossing the bridge rice noodles)
Eat and drink enough, visit the flower market, I was really shocked when I went in, it is such a big venue, it is indeed the largest flower trading place in Asia
We only visited one of the venues:
OMG, buy it:
Some people say that tourism and travel are the same thing, but travel is a more pretentious way of saying
wrong! ! !
In my opinion, travel is the visual sense of rushing, catching sights, going shopping, clocking in for five minutes, and taking a car for a few hours. Is it interesting? !
And travel is synonymous with freedom, you can go wherever you want, no reason, no constraints, roam freely in your own world, trust your horse freely, isn't life just a one-way trip? And the meaning of travel is to know, discover, and love the true self!
I think this is the real reason why many people fall in love with traveling! This is also the original intention of me bringing the whole family, "Yuan"!
My writing skills are limited, and I didn't bring a camera to take the basic original photos, but the emotions are real, and so are the people!
In the future, I will continue to share my thoughts and experiences along the way. Life may be hard, but we face it with a smile!
I am the host Wu Zhiqiang, everyone, see you next time!
Finally, share a few real masterpieces, and enjoy the beauty of Dali quietly~~
