DAY.1 Dali Ancient Town
On the first day, I was stationed in a homestay near the ancient city of Dali, about 100 a night.
In the ancient city of Dali, there is nothing more than delicious food, fun and shopping, and you can also find a unique book cafe to be in a daze, and you can live a leisurely life.
eat and drink:
1. Yangbi roll powder: It is sold at the North Gate Vegetable Market and the food stalls near the East Gate, seven or eight yuan a piece. The sauce of Yangbi roll powder is not too much, and the bean sprouts and sauerkraut are mixed with a small amount. The salty and sweet taste is moderate, and the taste is fragrant and refreshing.
2. Duanji souvenir shop: a foodie paradise found in Honglongjing. This store has a variety of carved plums, fruit wine and fruit tea, and tamarind jelly. Just trying it out, I was really fed up, and everything was delicious. There are also a lot of ham and dried beef in it. Most of the ham here is the unique Nuodeng ham in Dali. The ham is ruddy in color, but it is really salty when eaten raw, so be careful when trying it. Their fruit wine and fruit tea are also good, with a floral fragrance, sweet but not greasy~
fun:
1. Renmin Road is full of Dali's local delicacies, and it is also a gathering place for literary and artistic youths. There are many street stalls, bookstores, bars, and inns. It is a slow-living block in the ancient city. On Renmin Road, which is very close to Foreigner Street, there is also a Catholic church, which is very distinctive and integrates the Western church pattern with the Bai people's residential buildings.
2. Dali Bed Sheet Factory Art Park is known as "the most literary and artistic place in the ancient city of Dali". It is a modern art complex rebuilt from an abandoned bed sheet factory in the 1990s. Retro yet full of modern flavor.
DAY.2 Shaxi Ancient Town
From Xiaguan North Passenger Station to Jianchuan, 42 yuan per person, and take a small passenger van near the passenger station to Shaxi Ancient Town for 15 yuan. The accommodation here is similar to that in the ancient city, all around 100.
Shaxi Ancient Town is a real ancient town with an antique flavor, and it still maintains the ancient architectural features. Ancient temples, ancient theaters, ancient shops, horse shops, ancient red sandstone streets, centuries-old trees, ancient lanes, and ancient gates. On the narrow roadway paved with red sandstone, there are traces of caravans passing through, marking the prosperity of transportation in the past. The sound of horseshoes came and hurried away, leaving traces of prosperity. The Yujin Bridge on the banks of the Heihui River silently bears the weight of the years under the cloak of old memories. After passing the tall and mottled ancient gate, a narrow and deep ancient alleyway comes leisurely, with dilapidated ancient shops standing quietly on both sides of the alleyway. The strong commercial atmosphere rushes towards the face, making people think of the situation of caravans entering the gate of the village and passing through the lanes in ancient times.
DAY.3 Sword Lake
After staying in Shaxi for one night, I went to the nearby Jianhu for a walk. Jianhu is free.
Jianhu Lake in autumn is more tranquil, leisurely like a mirror of the sky. The nearby willows turn golden, and the golden lake dam and the blue lake complement each other, full of humor. The water of Jianhu Lake is not as clean and clear as Fuxian Lake, but under the blue sky and white clouds, it glows with sapphire light. Occasionally, a fishing boat would pass by, glance at each other, and then gradually drift away, causing ripples in circles. There are Bai villages scattered around the lake. The white walls and gray tiles are reflected on the lake, sparkling. There are mountains in the distance, green grass and trees nearby, and cattle and sheep grazing leisurely. It is like a peaceful landscape painting. .
