Are you dissatisfied with life?

I haven't laughed for a long time and I don't know why

Since I'm not happy and I don't like it here

Why not go all the way west to Dali

The journey is a bit tortuous, the air is a bit thin

The wider the scenery, the lonelier I feel

don't know who's waiting where

I don't know the later

Who has no dust on his head

Who hasn't had tooth marks on their shoulders

Maybe love is waiting at Erhai Lake

Maybe the story is happening here. . . . .

 

       Speaking of Dali, I think of Dali's Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The wind, flowers, snow and moon are synonymous with a romantic place and a synonym for literature and art. How many people yearn for Dali with the song "Go to Dali"

 

         The decision to go to Yunnan again this time was really decided within half an hour. I was still guarding the store at about nine o’clock in the evening, looking at the beautiful photos of the travel in the circle of friends, and successfully lured me. Thinking about myself too I haven't traveled for more than ten months. At that time, I couldn't suppress the urge to go out for a walk. At this point, there are not many friends who can leave immediately. After some screening, I immediately contacted a friend. There was no problem with the time, and then it was time to decide on the place.

 

      At first, I thought about going to Daocheng Yading, but now it is June 1st. The scenery of Daocheng Yading is not as shocking as autumn, so let’s save the best for autumn. Then I changed to Sertar, immediately packed up the shop and drove home to pack my things. On the way, I checked the weather in Sertar for the next few days. Then I gave up Seda and chose Yunnan. I went home and explained some things, then took a shower, packed my luggage, and drove off at around one o'clock in the middle of the night.

 

        I just got my driver’s license for three months, and I wanted to have fun on the way. My god, I drove for more than ten minutes, and I almost got into a car accident several times. The expressway in Yunnan is too scary. It’s all mountain roads with 18 bends, and I haven’t reached the next service area yet. It's really scary to change someone at the emergency stop. I'm afraid I won't dare to drive the mountain highway in many years.

 

      Self-driving from Chengdu G5 Jingkun Expressway through Ya'an, Xichang, to Panzhihua, and then into Yunnan territory, stop and go all the way, because it is a night train, sleep in the service area when you are sleepy, the journey is less than 14 hours, we After driving for about 20 hours, I didn't arrive until it was almost evening.

 

      Since I decided to go to Dali suddenly, the hotel has not been decided yet. This time, I didn’t make any preparations at all. When I drove to Dali, there were inns everywhere on both sides of the road. The picture of an inn looks good. The owner is a northerner and very enthusiastic. After putting away my luggage, I took a short break and went to find something to eat in the ancient city of Dali. After driving for such a long time, there was nothing to eat on the highway. I took two hasty photos of the night scene, and I didn’t have the energy to appreciate the charming night scene for the time being. , Hungry and sleepy, both good and bad self-driving.

      I ate some snacks in the ancient city, walked around for a while, and then went back to the inn to wash up and sleep. I went to bed early and woke up early to ensure that I would have the energy to go shopping the next day.

        This trip is really really casual. The night before, I was still planning to join a group and take us to play. I was too lazy to do the strategy. Then I slept until I woke up naturally on June 2. It was almost noon, and we had brunch together. I contacted my friends in Ruili on the way before departure, because we haven’t seen each other for many years, today I kept urging us to go to Ruili first, so I packed my luggage and drove around the Erhai Lake.

 Our itinerary is roughly as follows:

Day 1: Chengdu - Dali

Day 2: Dali around the Erhai Lake

              Dali - Ruili

Day 3: One Country, Two Villages

Day 4: Murray Falls, Wanding

Day 5: Jiegao Port

              Ruili - Tengchong

Day 6: Tengchong Volcano Geopark

Day 7: Tengchong - Chengdu

 Not long after leaving the hotel, I saw a sea of ​​flowers, so I stopped quickly to take pictures

 

   I am still a little bit obsessed with Nanzhao Customs Island. When I see it, I can think of the scenes in the game "Sword 1". After all, I am still a fan of Xianjian.

 

     The road around the lake is open and stop. I originally planned to go to Ruili and meet my friends, and then spend two days in Dali on the way back, because I came to Dali for the first time. Although I have been to Lijiang and Lugu Lake two years ago, but for the Dali is still very yearning. Many people miss the romance of Dali. But my friend who was traveling with me used to work in Yunnan and lived in Dali for a period of time. I walked around the lake and felt that it was different from the Dali he came to many years ago. At that time, Dali was not yet commercialized, and the scenery on both sides was still very primitive. It is said that it is no longer Dali in my heart.

         Isn’t that the way travel is all about, from the city I’m used to to go to the city where others are used to. People who have never been want to go, and many people who have been there think it is unnecessary to go. This is my impression of coming to Dali this time. It may be because the schedule was too hasty. As a friend who came here, I didn’t introduce Dali’s attractions to me, because it was really a temporary visit, and I didn’t do any strategy. I just wanted to be so casual. I want to walk around, change my mood, change the environment, I haven't come out for a long time.

 If I am tired of looking at the scenery and walking, are you willing to turn into a wine-colored stone and let me lean on it.

The random flowers gradually become charming eyes, and the bright eyes with a slight smile are touching

 

 

 

 

      On the way around the lake, I ate something casually. I almost said goodbye to Dali and set off for Ruili. Fortunately, the drive from Dali to Ruili was not too far away. It took more than 5 hours to reach Ruili, but because it was getting dark late, Feels like it's still broad daylight

          The road was full of dust and dust, and as soon as we arrived in Ruili, we went to a car wash shop. Our car was full of dust, and it was cleaned inside and out. The car wash fee was only 30 yuan, which was much cheaper than in Chengdu. The car was almost finished washing, my friends met, and the room was opened for us. It was great, everything was clearly arranged, and it was the most worry-free trip ever.

        Check in, put your luggage away, park your car, and blow on the air conditioner in the room. Ruili is really too hot, and you don't want to go out at all. Since my friend has a client to meet tonight, and I don’t want to go out, I waited for him to finish talking, ordered a bunch of barbecues, blowing air-conditioning in the room, eating barbecue, drinking wine, feeling happy.

        I got up early in the morning and took me to eat Ruili’s special passing rice noodles, which are slightly different from Guoqiao rice noodles. I have eaten Guoqiao rice noodles in Kunming and Lijiang before, but I have forgotten the taste. In short, they are all delicious. The portion is a bit too much, I can't finish it at all.

         Immediately, there are so many jackfruits on both sides. Each tree bears a lot of fruit. Although I have eaten jackfruits in Guangzhou before, this is the first time I have seen jackfruits growing on trees like this. I can’t help but want to eat a few This photo is as novel as a baby.

 Ruili's friend had work and couldn't leave in the morning, so the two of us went to visit Ruili's famous village by ourselves. This village is called Yizhailiangliang. Due to the special geographical location, people from two countries lived in the same village at the same time.

     The Ruili section of the China-Myanmar border is tortuous, criss-crossed and has no obvious boundaries. The Dai village on the Ruili border was divided into two parts at some time. The Chinese side is called Yinjing Village, and the Burmese side is called Mangxiu Village. A ditch or a field ridge is the border between the two countries, which has become a typical example of one country and two villages. The two scenic spots of Yizhai are about 10 kilometers away from downtown Ruili, and are located next to the No. 71 boundary pillar on the China-Myanmar border. It is a typical geographical wonder of two countries in one village.

       The Dai people in Yinjing belong to the Dai people. They originally moved to Ruili from Myanmar. At the same time, Theravada Buddhism introduced from Myanmar in the seventh century has also integrated into the lives of the Dai people. Almost all Dai people over 40 years old go to Zangfang. In the middle school, he took precepts to practice, participated in the summer retreat in March every year, and chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha. In Yinjing Village, the pagodas are magnificent and the religious atmosphere is strong, and they all have deep beliefs.

     Yinjing and Mangxiu have been the same village since ancient times. The common people speak the same language, have the same customs, and have the same origin. They walked the same road, drank the water from the well, went to the fair together, lived in harmony, and passed down from generation to generation. . Therefore, in order to show the friendly exchanges between the two villages, the village on the Chinese side built a pagoda to show the blessing of the two countries.

        This is an autumn swing between the two countries, because beside the border, a row of green trees in the back is Mangxiu Village in Myanmar. If you sit on it and swing a bit bigger, you can go abroad in an instant. It is quite interesting to think about it.

      The ancient and primitive water wells were jointly built by Yinjing village in China and Mangxiu village in Myanmar, which provided a steady stream of clear springs for the two countries, and also gave birth to the friendship between China and Myanmar. According to legend, this well is also known as the Jade Well. Girls only need to throw a jade into the well to fill a bucket of water, pour it into a washstand covered with jade and wash it, and then they will have a beautiful appearance.

        There is a boundary line behind China-Myanmar boundary post No. 71, which is on the road. The white paint used to paint the road has painted a boundary line, and I left the country without paying attention. Hahaha, I'm very happy to be skinny. There is a majestic national gate and border armed police on duty on the Chinese side. Don't step over, the uncle armed police is watching you.

 Standing next to the border line and photographing Mangxiu Village on the opposite side of the road, there is really no difference except that the text is different.

 Nananna, did you see that, crossed without permission, fined 500 yuan

 Going all the way to the left, some common words in Burmese were translated in Chinese on the ground. I think the pronunciation of my little sister’s Burmese is very funny, so I can remember it immediately.

 I came to a bridge spanning two countries. It is said that the bridge was paved with jade. However, there was not much jade left on the bridge, and they were all pried away. I covered my face with my hands. I sighed all the way. It is worthy of being a jade producer. Places, roads and bridges are all paved with jade, and I always feel that I see a lot of red tickets, Kaka.

 

 One cup of tea to drink the two countries, followed by a bridge to see the two countries, which we did not go up

 Come on, this row is full of jade, I am a layman, and I don't know the value of these jade.

       It took about 2 or 3 hours to visit, and I finished shopping in this village. Since I ate breakfast late, I was not hungry at the moment. It happened that my friend had finished his work, but he hadn’t had lunch yet, so we went back to Ruili City. Have lunch with him.

       Ruili's special dessert, Pao Ruda, I'm not used to eating, it looks like bread soaked in milk, but it doesn't taste like that at all, it tastes a bit weird. After lunch, in the middle of the afternoon, I had no place to go, and I didn’t have enough time to go to the place I wanted to go, so I had to go to his factory with my friends to see the mahogany furniture and mahogany decorations. After chatting, it was time for dinner Time, because I came here for the first time, took me to eat authentic Dai cuisine.

 This grilled pork belly tastes really good, it’s delicious, and it’ll be on the disc after a while, because I really can’t get used to a dipping sauce, it looks old and disgusting, I cover my face manually again, do I have a Sichuan flavor

      It’s the sauce behind this plate of ribs. I really can’t remember the name. It’s only been a few months since I went there, and I almost forgot it, so I thought that I should insist on writing travel notes. Although the brain is a good thing, it cannot withstand the forgetfulness brought about by the passage of time. Only the words are recorded, and when I dig it out later, I can still remember what I used to do.

        My favorite mango juice, this is really 100% pure mango juice, not even a little water is added, I really like mango in the fruit, by the way, the mango from Myanmar is really fragrant and sweet. After eating the mango from Myanmar, mangoes from other origins are no longer attractive.

 

 

       After dinner, the two of us went to the Gambling Stone Market, which was full of rough stones. The finished jade wares inside were really much cheaper than the counters outside the mall, and there were many live jade wares selling live, which really opened my eyes.

      There are all gambling stones on the ground, and there is jade in each stone, but you don’t know if the jade inside is worth money before it is opened. Usually, you can buy a stone for three to five hundred. If you are lucky, you can open one. Wait for Yu, then you will send it.

       The gambling stone market is only open at night. Take a small flashlight to shine on the stone, and you can see whether there is light in the stone. Hahaha, I am a layman, and I don’t know how to use professional words to explain this. Skip Skip, friends who are interested can feel it.

        The finished jade here is much cheaper than the price outside. The thousands of jade sold in the jewelry store of the shopping mall may be only one or two hundred here. Jade is really everywhere.

 

 After shopping for a while, I helped relatives and family members choose a few pieces of jade, bought a watermelon and went back to the hotel to sleep.

         Waking up at noon is still rice noodles, rice noodles with a different taste. This kind of rice noodles made of big bone soup is really delicious. After eating rice noodles, I went to Murray Falls as planned

 

 

 As soon as I entered the garden, I was very happy to see this lush bougainvillea. I have never seen a bougainvillea growing taller than a tree in other places, and it really is a tropical rainforest.

 The colorful blooms in the sky are really eye-catching. I never thought that the bougainvillea can be so beautiful.

 

There are many flowers, plants and trees in the park that I have never seen

 

 It's really amazing that the roots can grow so long

 Tree-wrapped rocks, rather peculiar

 While walking and resting, I finally reached the depths of the park and saw the waterfall

 

        I was splashed with water. There are very few tourists here. To be precise, there are very few tourists here. Although it is a border city, I think there are not many tourist attractions and many people come here to do business. After taking a few photos, we started to withdraw.

 It's hard for me, it's all cobbled roads, and I can hardly walk in a pair of high heels

 

 

 

 

 Goodbye Murray Falls, I may not have the chance to come again in the future, these beautiful scenery can only be frozen in my mind

 

 Since it was still early, we drove to Wanding Town, which is the smallest border city in China, and the navigation has been moving on the border of the motherland

 

      Wanding, a frontier town famous for its Anti-Japanese War, is more than 20 kilometers away from the city of Ruili. It is a must-visit state-level port when traveling to Ruili. During the Second World War, the Japanese army blocked all the sea outlets in China, and the Burma Highway became the only land passage for the international anti-fascist camp to aid China's strategic materials, and Wanding became the allied forces of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom. The base camp, the distribution center of supplies. Every day, hundreds of thousands of military vehicles transport materials to the inland from here, and hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces enter and leave the country from here. Wanding Bridge witnessed the history of China's Anti-Japanese War and undertook the historical task of saving the Chinese nation.

 

       The taste and method of silkworm potatoes here are very different from ours in Sichuan, but this one is also delicious, because I especially like zheergen, whether it is fried, fried, cold, boiled, soup, or hot pot, I like it very much

        We came to Wanding to eat, and friends revisited the old place. We stayed in Ruili for many years, and the surrounding area is very popular. Wanding is really very small, just a few steps away, and then drove back to the hotel to rest.

        When it’s time for dinner, I went to a restaurant that my friend used to be familiar with to eat barbecue. In the past, there was powder made from poppyia su and sprinkled on the barbecue. My friend brought me here to eat, but now the border city management is very strict, no longer Private sales are allowed, so there is no chance to eat a famous local dish, Dayan boiled chicken.

         This barbecue dipping sauce chili powder in Yunnan is really delicious, but no matter how delicious the barbecue is, it is still not as delicious as in Sichuan. Every time I am out of town, I miss the food of my hometown, hot pot, skewers , Maoxuewang, Kung Pao Chicken, Spicy Chicken, Husband and wife lung slices. . . . There are too many delicious foods to count, hahahaha covered my face manually.

 Charcoal-grilled tilapia, the taste is really average, and I will go back to the hotel to dream of Duke Zhou after eating and drinking.

     Traveling to Ruili is a constant border crossing. Jiegao Port is the largest port between China and Myanmar in Ruili, and it is divided into personnel passage and vehicle cargo passage. Many Burmese people purchase from the China-Myanmar trade market in Ruili and ship them to Myanmar for sale. After all, our country’s goods are of high quality and low price.

     My sister told the port that there is a duty-free shop, you need a passport, we bought two cigarettes, originally wanted to buy four, because it is much cheaper than the market price, but it is cheap without a passport, remember to buy things in the duty-free shop must Bring your passport, ID card is not acceptable.

 Well, this is the ends of the earth, and there is a corresponding cape. I don’t need to tell you that it is in Hainan.

 After visiting the port, I went back to a park in the urban area on both sides of the road. Phoenix flowers were in full bloom.

 

       I didn't eat lunch, I was hungry all the time, just to eat this rice noodle on the way to Tengchong, well, to be honest, I don't like it, the simplest and most common rice noodle is delicious.

 A view from an observation deck along the way

 I finally arrived in Tengchong, and my friends in Tengchong also booked the inn, thank you

 After a short rest at the inn, go out to visit the ancient town.

 

 All encounters in the world are reunions after a long absence

 In the ancient town of Heshun, wander around the small alleys at will, and let the time slip away quietly like this.

 

         It’s time for dinner, and the friends in Heshun Ancient Town would like to do their best to be the landlords, and bring us to eat the high soup hot pot, which is very satisfying. The hot pot soup base made of a lot of big bones and mushrooms is nutritious and delicious.

        Since the owner of the hot pot shop is from Hubei, they somehow mentioned noodles when they were chatting, so they gave us hot dry noodles all night, which completely stunned me. After eating this bowl of noodles, I don’t need to eat It's hot pot, you say it's not annoying, and it's not good to eat. Hahahaha, the result is still not finished. After dinner, it was already very late, mainly because they were too good at chatting, and a beautiful day ended like this.

 

        When I was wandering around Heshun Ancient Town yesterday, I was discussing where to go today. It’s summer in Ginkgo Village, and I can’t see golden ginkgo leaves. Hot sea hot springs are also good, but because it’s summer, I didn’t think about soaking. There is another The reason is that we are going back to Sichuan tonight, and there is not enough time, so we decided to go to the geological park, because there are hot air balloons, why not come.

 

         These volcanoes were formed between 3.4 million and 10,000 years ago, from the last century to the Holocene. Among them, there are four volcanoes formed about 10,000 years ago. Due to the long-term strong weathering of the volcanic lava formed earlier, most of the volcanic cones were destroyed, and only 6 volcanoes with dome landforms or volcanic mountains can still be seen. Some are dormant volcanoes.

          Tengchong Volcanic Geopark is located in the Tengchong metamorphic body in the eastern section of the Alps-Tethys structural belt in the Himalayas, on the east side of the continent-continent collision and docking zone between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, to develop fault structures and young volcanic activities and strong geothermal properties. After a long period of site evolution, vicissitudes of life, multiple magma eruptions and multiple tectonic cycles, many site relics have been left behind, forming a natural landscape.

 

       Tengchong is very rich in volcanic epiphytic geological phenomena, typical ones include geothermal tropics, hot sea hot fields, geothermal displays, and 124 hot springs. Among them, geothermal display features are divided into six landscapes: fumaroles, hot ground, hot boiling surfaces, fountains, poisonous pores, hot water springs, and hot water explosions.

         I originally planned to make a hot air balloon today, but because the weather is not beautiful, or I came too late, I can’t take the hot air balloon anymore. Let’s save some regrets and thoughts for the next time. After looking at the guide, I realized that it is best to arrive around 9:30 in the morning. If it is too early, if it is the first or second flight, you will not be able to take pictures of the hot air balloon. If it is too late, it may be canceled. The time to end the flight is different every day. If the wind is strong, you may not be able to fly at 11 o'clock. Well, we will come in the afternoon.

         We bought a lot of plants in a small street outside the gate of the park. These cacti are really cute. Although we found out that they might be trapped after we moved the pots, we were very happy at the time. Because those cacti were cut from the big cactus and planted in this small pot, and there is almost no soil in this small pot, and there is only a little space. I thought they would not survive, and they were listless. Fortunately, Cactus is easy to grow. After returning home and moving pots, it didn't take long before they all came back to life. On the contrary, those few plants were all killed.

 

          Because we didn’t get on the hot air balloon, we said goodbye to Tengchong and went to Dali soon. The original plan was to stay in Dali for two or three days after going to Tengchong, but the company called to remind us. it's over. I drove to Dali in the evening, stayed in Dali for one night, and drove back to Sichuan the next morning, because the Yunnan section of the expressway is also full of mountain roads, and it is too dangerous to drive late. That night in Dali, I suffered from gastroenteritis and lay on the hotel bed for more than ten hours. I originally planned to visit the Erhai Lake at night, but I had to give up. My little friend helped me buy medicine. The gastroenteritis came and went quickly, and it was almost healed in the morning.

 

 I drove along the way and stopped at the service area to rest, because I didn't dare to drive, so only my friends drove the whole way, and it was really hard to drive all the time.

          It’s about 9:00 p.m. in Yajiang. The main friends are too tired, hungry, sleepy and tired. For long-distance self-driving, you still have to switch between several drivers. We had dinner in downtown Yajiang, and then went for a massage. It was around 12 o'clock in the evening when we left. At that time, we also considered staying in Yajiang for one night, but we thought it would be better to go back directly. Yajiang is very close to Chengdu. It's getting closer, and you can rest better when you go back, so the journey is over.

       At the end of the writing, there is an important thing. If you go to Ruili, please be sure to bring your ID card, because there is a border area there, and there are often checks at the border, and luggage on the car will also be checked.

       The second trip to Yunnan ended with many thoughts and regrets. I believe there will be a third trip to Yunnan, because there are still many places in Yunnan that I haven’t visited, such as Xishuangbanna, Shangri-La, Puzhehei, Luoping, and The village described in Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Spring" is also in Yunnan. Next time, it will take a longer time to travel slowly to feel the beauty of Yunnan.

     The meaning of travel is probably from the beginning to the end, blooming and growing all the way, looking forward to the next journey.
