【Travel thoughts】
Autumn, the silent Hangzhou caught up with me,
The coolness of the wind changed me into autumn clothes.
Dong, I don’t know when and where will catch up with me,
I decided to follow the clouds all the way south.
To the south, stay in the ancient city of Dali where there is no winter cold;
To the south, stay on the shore of the Erhai Lake that will not freeze;
Going south, you will stop at the eternal holy place of literature and art.
In the old days, cars and horses were slow, and a trip to Dali not only ruined the years, but also depreciated the appearance.
Now the lightning speed not only amazes the time, but also thaws the hearts of those who are stuck in the house.
To the south of the colorful clouds is the blue sky and white clouds in love,
There are Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake that have been fixed in the camera by countless people,
There are folk songs murmured and sung by Baiyu,
There is a warm and quiet Yinfoil Spring,

【Itinerary】
Yunnan is one of the important birthplaces of human civilization. The Yuanmou Man, who lived 1.7 million years ago, was the earliest human being discovered in China and Asia. In this magical land, in addition to Kunming, which is like spring all the year round, Lijiang, which is full of soft times, and Shangri-La, which is simple and kind, there is also Dali, which is full of romance.

In addition to the wind in Xiaguan, the flowers in Shangguan, the snow in Cangshan Mountain, the moon in Erhai Lake and the ancient city of Dali, there are more "wind, flowers, snow and moon" scenery in Dali, such as the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple and Butterfly Spring.

Day1: Hangzhou to Kunming - Dali Rongju Yinboquan Hotel
【Dali Rongju Yinboquan Hotel】
When I first met Dali, it was actually a wooden house with a clear water, a few green trees and the fragrance of flowers. The exquisite wooden house tightly surrounds the Wangqing Spring, a few emerald trees bring quietness to the wooden house, and bursts of fragrant flowers steal my heart secretly. Let go of Rongju Yinboquan Hotel.
The sound of the ocarina swayed leisurely in the air, and it got into our ears as soon as we entered the door. I was exhausted from the three-hour plane, two-hour high-speed train and forty-minute taxi ride. I walked into the room with the melodious sound of the ocarina. At this moment, I was like an ice cube dropped into boiling water. It was just this moment that melted myself into this comfortable room.
Quietly resting on the deck chair for a while, the mountains in the distance are hazy and beautiful, just like the poem said, "It's good to be sunny when the water is shining, and it's strange to see the mountains when it's empty and rainy." The nearby water flows continuously, and the sound of the gurgling water is not only playing a beautiful piece of music, but also together with the distant mountains constitute a whole world of stillness and movement. With his eyes closed, he seemed to feel the water droplets beating gently on his skin, and his heart was unhurried.
The retro-style gazebo outside the room, the long corridor, shaded by trees, blooming flowers, a peaceful atmosphere. I think, this is the beginning of "face value" in my heart! The bed curtains in the room are simple and white, the windows are bright and clean, and the background of a splash of ink painting is embedded in a modern shell. I think this is the final "connotation"!
In this quiet environment, I long for a nap and dread it. What I long for is a comfortable room to bring me a sweet sleep. What I am afraid of is that if I sleep for too long, I will miss a period of time here, and perhaps there are stories that can be passed down during this time.
When I woke up, I came straight here with my love for the gazebo. The tea artist in the store made me a cup of fragrant tea, telling the ancient stories of Yunnan.
The guqin placed in the gazebo is the same person's musical instrument as the ocarina, and the sound of the ocarina heard when entering the store comes from this. I don't know if the Buddha, who smiles at all living beings, is also envious of all living beings in Dali?
After nightfall, Rongju Yinboquan Hotel looks extraordinarily quiet and beautiful, and the people who are exhausted by horses and horses are enjoying the food quietly at the moment. The special powder of Dali Rongju Yinboquan Hotel is golden and charming, and it tastes very strong. Delicious fish, nutritious vegetables, and some dessert after the meal will quietly keep this beautiful day in memory.
Day2: One-day tour around the Erhai Lake - Dali Ancient Town
【Around Erhai Lake】
When coming to Dali, almost everyone thinks about the Cangshan Erhai Lake, the wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon. I am not immune either, the clouds above the Erhai Lake are about to engulf the Erhai Lake like sea waves engulfing the coastline. At this moment, the sun emits countless rays like sharp swords to pierce the clouds. The Erhai Lake just quietly exudes its sparkling light.
I don’t know how many couples have made a declaration of love in Erhai Lake, "There is no mausoleum in the mountains, and the heaven and the earth are united, so we dare to break with the king." This has made Erhai Lake the status of a holy place for love.
Some people say that you can't go to Erhai Lake alone, otherwise you will only be left with the mess in the wind. But how can Erhai bear it? Although it is not the sea, it always rescues you from the wind with a scenery that can rival any sea. The wind at this moment became gentle, blowing the beauty's long hair, as charming as a fairy!
Along the Erhai Lake, the rice fields are picturesque. The green and yellow rice is a must-see scenery on the road around the Erhai Lake. When I see this rice field, I always think of Jay Chou's song - "The Fragrance of Rice". In the warm afternoon, a guitar, three or five friends, and our favorite songs, this is the happiest time and the most beautiful Erhai Lake.
The spacious asphalt road brought me the pleasure of speeding, and the sea of flowers deeply moved my heart. The Gesang flower, which symbolizes happiness in Tibetan culture, is in full bloom here. The wind from the Erhai Lake caresses the pink Gesang flower. It bows its head slightly, looking charming. At this moment, close your eyes and feel the caress of the sea breeze. Are you also shy, beauty?
The purple lavender exudes an elegant fragrance, forming a sea of flowers. In this sea of flowers, the beauty of the glass ball is dressed in black and full of cool style. The little brothers and sisters use the simple yellow and white windmills as the background, and they can be regarded as real sunshine boys under the sun. Is it considered fashionable?
I don’t know if you have seen the sunny morning of the Erhai Lake, and a new day is opened amidst the chirping of birds, full of hope. I don’t know if you have seen the dark blue dusk of the Erhai Lake, ending the day with gentleness in the sunset in the western mountains.
Erhai Lake is full of the taste of love, full of gentle tones, and with a touch of naughty, it declares to the whole world that it is the perfect Erhai Lake in people's hearts.
【Dali Ancient City】
Some people say that looking for a city to live forever, and one person with a white head, this life is enough! Searching and searching, I always don't know where my city is. When I came to the ancient city of Dali, I suddenly had a feeling of heartbeat. Falling in love with this city was the beginning of my "love" with the ancient city of Dali.
The ancient city is full of leisurely taste, but it is also full of the joy of spring, the enthusiasm of summer, the coolness of autumn, and the solemnity of winter. Despite the vicissitudes of life in the ancient city, which has been baptized by wind and frost for six hundred years, it provides a unique background color for the brushes of the four seasons, presenting the changes of the four seasons in one painting.
The Nancheng Tower built in the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, is called Shuanghemen according to local folklore. The reason why Dali's ancestors chose this place is even more legendary. According to legend, people in those days followed two cranes and waded through mountains and rivers to finally come to this fertile land to multiply and live, so Dali is also called Hetuo. Gently scratching these mottled bricks with your hands, it seems that at this moment, you have recovered the six hundred years that have passed away.
Fuxing Road connecting the north and south towers is the main road in the chessboard pattern of the ancient city of Dali, carefully connecting the streets and alleys in the ancient city. The thick bluestone slabs and the green grass on the roofs on both sides of the road tell tourists the stories and stories that happened here. I think that I should be included in these stories after a few years. I just don't know if my story is the "love" with the ancient city of Dali?
The stream from Cangshan Mountain slowly walks through the streets and alleys in the ancient city of Dali. An inadvertent action has created the Shuijing Street-Red Dragon Well, and the stream flows eastward humming songs. A cup of coffee, a chair, watching the running water, I can stay all day in a daze.
The decoration of the tavern is elegant and artistic, and a flag with the word "wine" flutters quietly in the wind. Wouldn't it be nice to have a drink with one or two bosom friends in the tavern?
The ancient town condenses thousands of years of time. Every time the autumn leaves fall, the past is buried, but the bluestone slabs and ancient city bricks are left behind to whisper in the ears of tourists.
Day3: Cangshan Jizhao Nunnery - Husband and Wife Tree - Dali University - Dali Rongjuziyuan Holiday Villa
【Cangshan Jizhao Nunnery】
The ancient city of Dali added a lot of interest to our journey. Taking advantage of this interest, we visited the place where Internet celebrities check in-Cangshan Jizhao Temple. Jizhao Nunnery is surrounded by towering ancient trees, and the mountain gate is quiet. I really can't think of how this place is connected with Internet celebrities?
After listening to his companion's explanation, he suddenly realized that Jizhao Temple has two magic weapons. One is the succulent plants in Jizhao Nunnery. The succulents here are carefully planted by Master. The other is the fasting meal here. Many tourists who come here for the name have worked hard to get a fasting meal, but the strict control of the time of the fasting meal still cannot meet everyone's requirements.
Walking into Jizhao Nunnery, I feel like I have walked into another world. As far as the eyes can see, there is a world of succulents, and the varieties are also dazzling. Jizhao Temple is different from other temples. There are no blue lanterns, yellow scrolls, evening drums and morning bells, temples, pavilions and incense. Jizhao Temple is famous for its simplicity and compactness, and it is even more famous for offering succulents.
The nunnery, which was originally clean and uncontested with the world, is quiet and contented in an area of 300 to 400 square meters. However, the succulents and bonsai in the yard are admired by many literary youths, and attract more and more tourists, and gradually become the "downtown" in the paradise.
In order to welcome the arrival of these tourists, Jizhaoan specially placed a lot of tables and chairs, tea sets and tea in the yard, all of which are free, but a deposit of 100 yuan is required, and the deposit will be refunded after the tea sets are returned.
Perhaps as the Buddhists say, "One flower is one world, one tree is one floating life, one grass is one heaven, one leaf is one Tathagata, one sand is one bliss, one side is one pure land, one smile is one world, one thought is one tranquility." , as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, there is a world of ultimate bliss.
【Couple tree】
The husband and wife made a promise under the tree, "I would like to be lovebirds in the sky, and I would like to be Lianli branches in the ground", which is not used for bowing and worshiping, but has its own gods to protect it. It is quiet here, husband and wife embrace each other, love is stronger than gold. The tree has come to this point, what can people do?
The husband and wife tree stands towering, extremely luxuriant, with scattered branches. We walked lightly around the water, for fear that the loud noise would disturb the loving couple.
Under the husband and wife tree, stone tables and stone benches, taking advantage of the shade to rest and feel the quiet environment, it is really a place where the water and soil nourish one person, and this kind of love can only be bred here.
During the meditation, my thoughts are flying, can I also stay together like a husband and wife tree?
【Dali University】
In Haizi's poem, he said enthusiastically, "I have a house facing the sea, and the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming." But he never realized it. Happy Dali students live in this environment every day, and Dali University between Cang and Er can be said to have a geographical advantage.
Dali University was founded in 1978 with the school motto of "Learning to be erudite and truthful, and virtue to be true". Today, Dali University has become a comprehensive university. Not only that, Dali University, located in Dali, the central city in western Yunnan, has become one of the most beautiful universities in China by virtue of its unique geographical location and unique beauty.
The sky of Dali University is extremely pure, white without any impurities, and the clouds and clouds witness the growth of Dali students. Lush trees grow on both sides of a quiet path by the Lake of Lover, and the pedestrians on the path bring vitality to the campus. Every morning, there are birds and flowers on the banks of Lover's Lake, and the eternally clear Lover's Lake has grown up with generations of students in this fragrance of birds and flowers. The beautiful scenery of mountains and seas in the distance makes people feel like they are in a fairyland. It's like a fairyland.
Walking on the campus of Dali University, looking up inadvertently, turning around carelessly, there is a beautiful scenery waiting to meet me by chance. It may be the Cangshan Mountain surrounded by fairy mist, it may be the romantic Erhai Lake, or the blue sky and white clouds pressing down on the surface of Erhai Lake.
The beautiful streamlined buildings by the Lake of Lover stand tall, I think it should be the only beauty that has been artificially modified. The natural blue sky and white clouds, Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake constitute a three-dimensional landscape painting.
【Dali Rongjuziyuan Holiday Villa】
Traveling to me is not only mountains and water, but also a place where the body is stored at night. If there is a good place to live, I have never spared my physical strength, not to mention the various means of transportation that are now so developed.
Not far from the Yinboquan Hotel in Dali, there is a unique courtyard quietly waiting there. I went up the slope in a car, and arrived at the gate in a short while. The western-style building is small and unique.
More than a dozen guest rooms are waiting for guests to check in. Such a small courtyard is very suitable for group building. Stepping upstairs, the view from the balcony is very wide. I think there are not many opportunities to overlook the city of Dali, and this is one of them. I am used to seeing the frontal photos of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. It is also a very good attempt to experience another beautiful scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake from another angle.
Slowly brew a pot of clear tea in the glass tea room on the roof, savoring it carefully, not only tasting the tea, but also the scenery. Carve the beautiful scenery at this moment into the camera, and write the memory of this moment in your heart.
The old time and the new era blend here, classic and luxury meet here, the luxurious KTV and the castle villa inlaid between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, everything is just right. If not time, who could have this ability?
Maybe it's because I stayed in the bustling city for too long, but I fell in love with the simplicity and tranquility here.
Day4: Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple - Return
The blue lanterns and the yellow scrolls can't explain the family affairs, and the Buddhist pagodas can't be seen all over the fairy mountains. Chongsheng Temple in Dali is a place that claims to be the capital of Buddhism. I met you again in the cloudless weather.
I still remember the first time we met, your golden plaque gave me endless amazement, I thought it was Lingshan. Flying eaves and bucket arches, majestic and majestic, dare to put the Cangshan Mountain on the back, and dare to face the Erhai Lake. You are majestic.
Looking up is the Cangshan Mountain with white mist floating. I climbed up the steps, and I slowly approached you, listening to you tell the story of your own birth. You said: You were born in the Nanzhao period, and you were born for the residence of Tubo envoys; you said: You have gone through vicissitudes and were destroyed in the wars of past dynasties. You said: The saint you worship in the temple is "Avalokitesvara", and the nine emperors of Dali Kingdom are monks here. You also said...
Three pagodas, one big and two small, protrude from the green bushes, and Qianxun Pagoda stands proudly in front of it. This tower with a very high base, together with the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and the Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, tells the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty. The three towers standing on a tripod bring masculinity to the gentle sky, as if to prop up the sky.
A pool of clear water reflects the scenery and divides the world into two parts, one part is real and the other part is illusory. I don't know how different this is from the realm of Buddhism that "truth can illuminate the false, and the false can also illuminate the truth, and the vacuum and the false do not interfere with each other."
Walking leisurely, the Chongsheng Temple exudes a cool atmosphere after the rain. At this moment, every flower, every grass, every stone and every tree is the guide of Dali, pulling you to tell you everything about Dali. Even puddles of puddles of water on the ground pulled my shadow, telling me the gentleness of the water here.
Soaring into the sky, overlooking the earth, the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple lie quietly among the green trees, adjacent to the villas next to it, what a paradise!
【Food recommendation】
【Ancient Fragrance Garden·Shangri-La Yak Hot Pot】
Whenever I hear about yaks from my friends, a majestic image always pops up in my mind, standing proudly on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with long black hair and never bowing its head despite the wind and rain. Dali, a place that keeps surprising me, Guxiang Garden? Shangri-La Yak Hot Pot combines yak and hot pot magically.
The flags outside the door are slightly rippling, and inside the door are chatting and drinking. With a little bit of surprise, I stepped into this restaurant that combines hot pot and barbecue. Since the name of the restaurant features yak, there is no need to say more about yak meat. Many side dishes have their own merits and vary from person to person, but matsutake is my favorite.
The fresh ingredients are bright under the light, and the green leaves set off a peaceful scene, but the meat on the plate is too tempting.
Goji berries, red dates, thick white soup, and a casserole constitute not only a hot pot, but also a family relationship sitting around the table. Barbecue simmering hot pot is really unique. Listening to the sizzling of the meat on the iron plate, watching the water in the hot pot is boiling, the two scents are in the same direction, hitting the face
【About traffic】

【Photography Equipment】

Other equipment: portable tripod, mobile phone delay bracket, video shooting stabilizer, Apple notebook, mobile hard disk, card reader, SD card, charger, etc.
In contemporary life, what watches bring to us is different from the cold numbers on smart watches or mobile phones. In comparison, I prefer to be quiet and listen to the ticking of time, the sound of hands passing by the dial, and the flow of time.
So here I recommend a George Feddon (GIORGIOFEDON1919) watch to everyone, I believe you will like it.
