1. Shaxi Ancient Town
Stroll along the red sandstone road in the ancient street, climb to the ancient stage, take a look at the pavement and horse shop in Sifang Street, and take a walk on the Yujin Bridge on the Heisuijiang River. Going to the ancient village gate, a narrow, deep and long ancient alleyway comes leisurely, and the dilapidated ancient shops on both sides stand quietly on both sides of the alleyway, and you can feel the daily life of the caravan at close range. Go to Xingjiao Temple to experience the integration of various schools of Buddhism, listen to the ancient music of Shaxi Dongjing, experience the charm of ancient music of the ancient nation, watch the traditional Bawang whip of the Bai nationality once, and dance a traditional Xiaola song of the Bai nationality Dance, listen to a Bai nationality tune sung by a Shaxi girl, and taste local local ginseng seeds, matsutake mushrooms, and goat milk cakes from Shaxi.
2. Weibao Mountain
This is the birthplace of the ancient Nanzhao state. Weibao Mountain stretches for dozens of miles, with undulating peaks and ridges, and the shape of the mountain looks like a squatting lion looking back and overlooking the county. The vegetation on the mountain is lush, the ancient trees are towering, the shade is lush, the streams are tinkling, the flowers are lush, the environment is elegant, and the scenery is pleasant. There are also various rare birds and animals and exotic flowers and plants in the mountains. Every year from the 1st to the 15th day of the second month of the lunar calendar is the traditional temple fair in Weibao Mountain, where you can enjoy the Dongjing music performed by folk Taoist organizations and the Yi nationality song festival with strong ethnic characteristics. When visiting Weibao Mountain, it is recommended to bring your own drinks and food, as there are very few supplies in the mountains.
3. Jizu Mountain
This is a famous Buddhist holy place. According to legend, it is the dojo of Kasyapa, the great disciple of Sakyamuni. It is very effective, and many pilgrims come here to pay homage. There are majestic mountains, towering ancient trees, emerald mountains, singing birds and fragrant flowers. There are Cangfeng rock walls, Yulong Waterfall, streams, springs, caves, stones and other wonders. In addition, there are many precious historical sites and ancient temples on the mountain, and you can enjoy the beautiful and beautiful mountain scenery. If you have enough time and want to feel the rich Buddhist atmosphere of Jizu Mountain, it is recommended to stay on the mountain for one night. The Jinding Reception Office next to the Jinding Temple provides accommodation, and there is also a farmhouse inn that provides meals and lodgings on Xianghui Street, which is about 5 minutes away from the Jinding Temple. If you get up early in the morning, you can also enjoy the beauty of the sunrise on Jizu Mountain. It is recommended to come in winter and spring, the weather is suitable for watching the sunrise.
4. Dali Ancient Town
There are many buildings in the ancient city of Dali with blue tile roofs, and the characteristic folk houses of the Bai nationality are full of charm. It is embraced by Cangshan Mountain and supported by Cangshan Mountain. The streets are surrounded by flowing water, and every household grows flowers. Some old houses in the streets and alleys are sparsely populated with flowers and trees, a scene of "three houses with one well, and one house with several potted flowers". Wandering in the city, looking up is the clean and clear blue sky of Dali and the clouds within reach, lowering the head, surrounded by the pure breath of life in Dali. Come here, not only to experience the leisurely life, but also to eat all kinds of delicious snacks here.
I recommend a souvenir shop called Duan Xiaoya, which is located in Honglongjing. This store has a lot of Dali local specialties, such as floral fruit tea and fruit wine that are full of fragrance, sweet but not greasy, Nuodeng ham with Dali local flavor, and various local specialties such as carved plums and preserved fruits. The store offers free samples, cheap and delicious.
