I think that life is too short to come to Dali once. Dali is really a healing place. The leisurely pace of life, the delicious local food, and the beautiful scenery like a fairyland can make people temporarily forget the pain and pressure in their hearts.

1. Heqing·Huanglongtan

This scenic spot seems to be undeveloped, few people know about it, and not many people come here. It is a bit far away, it takes more than two hours to take a bus from Xiaguan North Passenger Station to Heqing, and the ticket is 40 yuan per person. When I came to Huanglongtan in this season, when the lake was open, the water and the sky were the same color, and the scenery was very beautiful. Huanglongtan is not big, it is a park in the middle of the street, but it is beautiful and it is a paradise for photographers. The scenery here is very unique, a cement board road meanders into the water, and there are veritable water willows on both sides, with different shapes and quite personalities. It is said that it was an ancient tree left when the water conservancy was built in the Ming Dynasty, and it took root in the water.

2. Dali Ancient City

The ancient city of Dali is a very leisurely ancient city, backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake, the scenery is very beautiful. The sunset at Cangshan Mountain in the evening will never disappoint you, and the night view of the ancient city is magnificent. Especially the Nancheng Gate and Wuhua Building give people a gorgeous feeling, as if they have entered the Nanzhao Imperial City. In the ancient city at night, especially Foreigner Street and Renmin Road, there are many bars and bright lights. You can enjoy an auditory feast along the road here. Near the Erhai Gate, there are food stalls and barbecue stalls along the road. If you visit here, you may lose three catties.

There are also some shops worth visiting in the ancient city:

1. Fly to the Moon: This is a retro western restaurant, in a small alley on Yu'er Road, very quiet. There is an open-air balcony on the second floor, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and taste delicious food on the open-air balcony. The average per capita is 50-70 tubes. It opens at 9:00 am and is closed on Wednesdays. Come here and taste the signature dish French Boiled Eggs, you will never be disappointed.

2. Duan Xiaoya’s store: One is the real version of “Diamond Miracle Nuan Nuan”, which has a lot of good-looking clothing, cosmetics, perfume, aromatherapy and other products. It is a shopping paradise for girls, and the decoration is very girly. It is located on Renmin Road and Near the intersection of Fuxing Road. The other one is located in Red Dragon Well, which is a paradise for foodies, where you can taste all kinds of delicious Dali local products, and the price is not bad.

3. Xizhou Ancient Town

Xizhou Ancient Town is the best place to visit in spring and autumn. Come to Xizhou, not only to experience the unique traditional architectural culture of the Bai people, but also to eat homemade handmade popsicles and Xizhou Baba. Come here in spring to enjoy the beauty of hundreds of acres of rapeseed flowers in full bloom, and check out the pastoral scenery of Xizhou rice fields in autumn. The warm sun in the morning shines on the golden rice fields, and the pure white houses of the Bai people correspond to the golden rice fields, backed by Cangshan Mountain and facing Erhai Lake. It is as beautiful and moving as an oil painting, exciting. Take the bus at Ximen Passenger Station in Dali Ancient City, and the ticket is 7 yuan per person.

Travel tip: After October, the temperature difference in Dali will increase and the weather will become cooler. You can bring some thin autumn clothes and pay attention to your health! ! !
