For me, travel does not care about the destination, but those people, those things, and those beautiful memories and scenery during the journey. I feel that this trip to Dali is very satisfying, and I have seen some breathtaking scenery and an ancient city of immortals.
1. Nanjian Soil Forest
Walk into this magical art palace of natural sculptures, and roam in the earth forest along the rugged path. For a while, they got into the unfathomable cave, for a while, they walked into the dark and narrow valley bottom, and for a while, they climbed up the steep and steep peak. The towering peaks and myriad postures give you a panoramic view of the whole earth and forest wonders.
If you look at the earth forest roughly, the earth peaks look like trees, towers, bamboo shoots, mantles, and space rockets ready to launch; A soil peak has various postures and is lifelike, giving people a strange feeling and imagination.
The beauty of Nanjian Earth Forest is hard to express in words. It only takes one glance to be amazed. After savoring carefully, the strong sense of shock lingers in my heart.
2. Dali Ancient Town
The ancient city of Dali faces the clear and blue Erhai Lake in the east and the majestic Cangshan Mountain in the west. On the majestic and tall towers of the ancient city, there are four elegant indigo-colored Xingkai characters of "Document Mingbang". The weeds on the city wall, the bright green color blends with the already mottled wall surface, revealing a bit of vicissitudes.
Walking into the city on the stone road, with the thick tower as the boundary, it seems like two different time and space. The outside is a modern city with secular turmoil, and the inside of the city is the ancient capital of an ancient country.
The ancient city gives me the feeling that it is all-encompassing. Here you can not only see the fusion of Chinese and Western cultures, but also the fusion of modernity and tradition. This is also a relatively large-scale commercial street. The most prosperous is Fuxing Road. There are rows of shops along the road. You can eat while walking, such as milk fans, bait cubes, roll noodles, small twists, flower and fruit tea...
In the ancient city, I prefer a shop called Duanji souvenirs, in Honglongjing. This store has a lot of delicious Dali local products, such as ham, carved plums, beef jerky, fruit cakes and other snacks. You can try them for free when you enter the store, and all of them are delicious. For a foodie like me, it's really a foodie's paradise.
3. Eryuan West Lake
Dali West Lake is a plateau freshwater lake under Yunnong Peak in Cangshan Mountain. The reeds in the lake are rippling, and the surrounding small villages are quiet and beautiful, which feels like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.
Take a boat on the lake and enjoy the fresh scenery around. The reeds are fluttering gently, and there are egrets dancing from time to time, which is very beautiful. At the same time, you can also hear Bai Minority tunes sung by boatmen. Although I can't understand what is being sung, the melodious singing and the melodious tune can be heard from the boatman's singing on the shore, giving people a feeling of isolation and tranquility.
Houses on the bank, cooking smoke curls up, and the smell of food floats with the breeze from the opposite house, tempting people's taste buds. The poetic life is the state of life that many people dream of and cannot dream of.
