When the last light of eight o'clock in the night floods the water,
The romance of the blue hour wells up in my heart.
When the cooking smoke is misty at the end of the field under the Cangshan Mountain,
Steadiness and warmth hit us walking in the wheat field.
When the roof of the ancient city spurred a purple wildflower
A small corner can also be breathtakingly beautiful...
Here the summer days grow infinitely long,
I felt like I was in a scene from a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
Warmth and beauty are still the main theme of life,
I understand that this is Dali in summer.

-Xizhou-
Hayao Miyazaki's summer looks like this
Xizhou in summer looks like a scene in Hayao Miyazaki's animation
Summer, rice fields, starry sky, hillsides, blue sky, white clouds, tile houses...
On a sunny day, every frame captured by the camera can be used as a computer wallpaper.
Summer in Xizhou is extremely Japanese.
If I really live here,
Probably every day, I have the heart to see the clouds and clouds in Cangshan Mountain,
There is also the freedom of strolling in the courtyard.
On the edge of the summer field, put on a pretty hat,
Walking in the middle of the path with a few friends,
Just take a shot,
It's like a quiet and warm Japanese movie.
Or say that the people of Yunnan love life,
If we live in the steel forest,
Who would have thought of painting a courtyard wall in such a bright and lovely color.
Under the clear sky, what shines brightly are the wonderful fragments of life.
-Cangshan-
The Cangshan Mountains that can be seen from afar are everywhere
The best angle to see Cangshan Mountain,
not deep into it
But on the road between the mountains and the Erhai Lake,
Or in the middle of the streets of the ancient city.
Cangshan is different from Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang
Always covered in emerald green, wrapped in clouds and mists
It lacks the ruggedness of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain
There are more softness and warmth of the mountains.
Riding a bicycle on the road to Erhai Lake
On the left is the continuous Cangshan Mountains
On the right is the rippling waves of the Erhai Lake
The roadside is dotted with houses of the Bai people
There are endless rice fields
Sometimes a rainbow hangs over the mountains and fields after the rain
From then on, the romance of Dali was born.
Renmin Road in the ancient city faces a valley in Cangshan Mountain
After the rain, the clouds and mists in the mountains are misty,
It didn't rest until the roof of the ancient city.
There are fairies in the mountains, and mortals in the city;
Mountains and people have been getting along like this for hundreds of years.
Looking at Cangshan Mountain from a distance, travelers who come here will feel:
To walk at the foot of the sunny Cangshan Mountain.
It is not in vain to come to the world.
-Erhai-
This lake is the blue ear of Avalokitesvara to listen to the affairs of the world
When traveling around the Erhai Lake, you can see three pagodas standing between Cang Erhai from a distance.
Legend has it that this Tasha is to suppress the strange force in the water.
Dali is a famous Buddhist country with wonderful incense, and the Bai people especially believe in Guanyin.
He even gave birth to his own unique Acuoye Guanyin.
Avalokitesvara, watching the sufferings of the world, crossing the sorrows of the world
It is the closest god and Buddha to all living beings in Buddhism.
The long and narrow Erhai Lake is like a huge ear
For Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to listen to Dali's pain and suffering to save sentient beings,
That makes this world more pure and safe than other places.
The whole city is built around Erhai Lake.
There are already high-rise buildings overlooking the sea,
There are also eternal ancient temples and mountains and rivers forever.
Standing on the shore of the double corridor,
Opposite is Yang Liping's residence,
She named her home after the sun and the moon.
A dance, showing the aura of birds to perfection
In such a beautiful and pure place,
Only then can such a human elf be born.
It must have absorbed Dali's own aura
In order to raise dancers like Yang Liping.
There is no snow in the Erhai Lake in summer, but there are clouds.
One meter of sunshine is not the patent of Lijiang,
on the sparkling water,
Beams of light penetrate the clouds like the eyes of a god
Behold the blessed place of this world.
And at sunset,
The whole Erhai Lake becomes extraordinarily gentle in warm colors.
-Dali Ancient City-
The fire of history will eventually go out, and the world that ushers in the dawn is so dreamy.
Standing under the city tower and looking back at the ancient history of Dali Ancient City,
The bricks and walls that survived the Bingxian are still vivid.
The face of survival in the flames of war has long gone with the torrent of time
Today's castle
Sitting with the most romantic people in the world.
They sang ideals in the middle of the night and wandered in the daytime.
Dali has produced many ideal children,
Those precious spiritual worlds have been created for this era.
This city accommodates what cannot be accommodated in the steel forest,
Teach his children that they cannot give up their faith even in pain.
Summer has come to an end,
The temperature is the first to tell us that autumn is coming at full speed.
once night falls,
The cold air will immediately wash away the summer atmosphere in Xizhou during the day.
The ancient city at night seems to have changed seasons.
In this temperature, the most suitable thing is to find a pair of friends
Eat steaming food around the fire.
Fill an empty stomach with seasonal vegetables and delicacies
Fill the empty will with ideal music.
So when you walk into a restaurant with such a slogan
Everything was right.
On the wall of the store is written:
"A lofty ideal far away from the hustle and bustle"
In this era of trying to replace human beings with machines,
Hustle and bustle is the essence of the city,
Noise is a common sight.
And such a maverick declaration by the boss,
Only on the streets of Dali Ancient City
It doesn't look like a joke.

Store name: I'm waiting for you in Dali Ark Fatty Kitchen
Steaming inside the store
The children who are crawling and rolling in the steel forest are all gathered in the warm yellow light
Enjoy the gift of taste buds brought by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake for a moment.
The fresh fragrance diffuses over the lips and tongue, directly hitting the human brain
This is the most unmissable thing in summer in Yunnan
--wild fungi.
mines and hills, rivers and trees;
Pure air, full of nutrients;
Yunnan pine forests where these components gather
Top delicacies such as matsutake were born.
A pot of soup base with precise seasoning
The umami flavor of wild mushrooms is blended just right
Plus the boss's independent belief
It won't be cold tonight.
back to the residence,
Looking back on such a day, I am really happy and satisfied.
From the summer scene in the daytime to the autumn day in the night
From the green trees of Cangshan Mountain to the soft waves of Erhai Lake;
Running around all day seems so rich.
but
The novelty of travel still cannot resist the fatigue of running around.
The innkeeper invites us to sit down,
Hot water is poured into the gaiwan with the voice.
A good cup of tea,
Let us still feel the human touch of Dali at night.
Talk about what you have seen and heard today,
The boss admitted
Our admiration is not a real admiration
Best compliments to Dali,
It is to stay here and become a Dali native.
So his inn is called "I'm waiting for you in Dali".
Coordinates: No. 545, Lower Section of Renmin Road, Dali Ancient City
Store name: I am waiting for you in Dali Ark Muzhai Inn
The fragrance of tea drives away the drowsiness, and during the conversation with the boss,
He became more three-dimensional and fuller in front of us.
Such a well-decorated and hard-working shop
In Dali, there are more than thousands of families.
A house with clean windows,
The quiet and classical atrium,
The spacious and bright terrace...
This kind of homestay meets all our beautiful imaginations about home
The boss is not proud of pomposity
Talk to us freely.
I think, find the right restaurant, find the right homestay
Sometimes it is more important than finding the right spots for a trip.
Dali's endless life,
It lies in such a group of people who stay here.
They are children of faith,
In this mediocre era, I still choose to embrace the ideal.
Those songs that I have heard suddenly have an explanation
In such a city,
Walking on Renmin Road, who wouldn't have a good mood.
