2019.2.25 is the fifth day of this Yunnan free trip, and we are leaving Ruili for Dali.
In the morning, I still had breakfast at the breakfast shop opposite, checked out after breakfast and waited for the chartered car. The driver arrived at 8 o'clock as scheduled, and 6 people boarded a 7-seater commercial vehicle, chatting with the driver all the way, and happily marched towards Dali Erhai Lake. All the way was unimpeded, and the driver took a 15-minute rest at the Nujiang service area at 10:30. There is a display area for the Burma and Stilwell Highway, the relics of the Burma blood line tell the feats of the Anti-Japanese War, and there is also a viewing platform where you can overlook the Huitong Bridge on the Nujiang River.

After turning around on the viewing platform, continue to drive forward, and negotiate with the driver in the car to continue chartered a day trip around the Erhai Lake tomorrow, the price is 500 yuan.
It was already past 1:00 pm when we arrived at Dali Tianfu Express Hotel. After checking into the hotel, we had lunch at the restaurant at the intersection. After the meal, we let the driver rest. We went to Erhai Park for a tour. After the tour, we called the driver and asked him to go to the Fisherwoman Statue Pick us up at the ancient city of Dali.
Walk to the south gate of Erhai Park at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, enter the park, and go all the way to the mountain. From the mountain, you can overlook the Erhai Lake and the city of Dali, go shopping and take pictures along the way.
We got down from the top, took pictures in front of the statue of the fisherwoman, and informed the driver on the mobile phone. The driver came and took us to the east gate of Dali Ancient City for a rest. We walked into the ancient city in the rain, passed Chengxin Well, visited Foreigner Street, bought Dali breast fans and tasted flower cakes. We thought it was good, and each of us bought flowers. The cake is delivered home with free shipping.
Internet celebrity spots Wuhua Building and Foreigner Street are must-dos.
There are shops on both sides of the streets in the ancient city, and the commercialization is serious. It was 7 o'clock in the evening. After walking out of the south gate, I found a restaurant on Wenwen Road. I called the driver to have dinner together. After the meal, I sent them back to the hotel to rest.
On February 26th, a one-day tour around the Erhai Lake, counterclockwise route: Luoquan Peninsula--Little Putuo--Shuanglang--Nanzhao Customs Island--Hongshan Temple--Haitong Park
In the morning, have a good breakfast at a halal restaurant near the hotel, and check out with your luggage at 8:30. When the car arrives, we will pick us up and drive to the Mihai Inn on the Erhai Lake, where we will stay tonight. Put away your luggage and set off for a sea tour.
Arrive at the first scenic spot - Luoquan Peninsula Tourist Area, buy a ticket to enter the tour, and go up from this Yuhong Bridge.
Continue to the second stop: Little Putuo, this island is too small, is it pulled over by boat? I didn’t go up, just take pictures on the shore to commemorate!
The third stop is Shuanglang, which is a key scenic spot. There are many shops in the ancient town, hotels and inns abound, and it is completely commercialized. This is the third time I have come, and I am more familiar with it. The driver parked the car in the parking lot, and we walked into the ancient town, passed Kuixing Pavilion, and entered Yuji Island to see the private house "Moon Palace" of dancer Yang Liping.

This is the Sun Palace, which is built along the shore of the island. Looking at the Sun Palace from a farther place, the whole building is integrated with the reef, hidden among the flowers and green leaves. Later, Teacher Yang Liping rebuilt the "Sun Palace" into Yang Liping Art Hotel, which was managed by a professional hotel team; there are 7 suites in the Sun Palace, each with a large area of 200-300 square meters. There are 7 rooms in the Sun Palace, all of which are duplex structures. There are 5 sea-view rooms, and the rooms are named: Zuihuayin, Biyunshen, Tianjingsha, Qingboyin, Linjiangxian, Yulinling, and Mushanxi.
After visiting Yuji Island, I was hungry. I found a restaurant near the lake at the exit, and had lunch in Deyue Hall, six dishes and one soup. After dinner, go to the pier to take a boat to visit Nanzhao Customs Island.
After buying the ticket, line up to board the island. Nanzhao Customs Island is one of the three Erhai Islands. The island is surrounded by water, with Jizu Mountain in the east, Shibao Mountain in the north, Dali in the south, and Cangshan and Erhai Lake in the west. Because of its unique tourism resources, it is known as "the scenery of Dali is in Cang'er, and the scenery of Cang'er is in Shuanghai". The reputation of "The Gallery". It condenses the cultural heritage of Dali for thousands of years, and fully shows the style of the imperial capital of Nanzhao and Dali for 600 years.
Climbing up the mountain, I saw the Avalokitesvara statue in front of me. According to the Internet, she is the tallest white marble statue of Avalokitesvara in the world.
Take a tour bus at the pier for 10 yuan per person to get out of the town of Shuanglang Ancient Town, and contact the driver to pick us up.
When I drove to Hongshan Temple, I saw many red-billed gulls flying, and stopped to take pictures of red-billed gulls.
Shooting seagulls at the Erhai Lake, you will not enter the Hongshan Temple, and get on the bus to the Haitong Ecological Park.
When I arrived at Haitong Park, I took a carriage and went in for a stroll. There was nothing interesting. I was so excited and had a jumping competition that I forgot my age.
It was almost 6:30 when we came out of Haitong Park. We rushed back to Mihai Inn at 7:30, and it was getting dark. After taking a few photos at the Erhai Lake, we went to the restaurant next to the inn for dinner. Another busy day passed. Tomorrow I will go to Yuanmou Til Forest.
