"The wind, the flowers, the snow and the moon, at ease in Dali" is the best and most accurate summary of Dali, and it is also a compliment to Dali.
The beauty of Dali is everywhere, giving birth to ubiquitous scenery, and these scenery form one after another scenic spots, these scenic spots continue to attract people, forming "net celebrity scenic spots".
In fact, in my opinion, the so-called "net celebrity attraction" is an affirmation of the popularity and traffic of a place, so it is not a derogatory term.
Dali's Internet celebrity attractions are very widely distributed, on Cangshan Mountain, next to the ancient city, and beside the Erhai Lake, you can see them everywhere.
Nanzhao Customs Island (Shuanglang Ancient Town)
The term "Nanzhao", how many people's first impression of it is derived from "Sword of Immortals"? How many people have had a strong interest in its mystery?
When the term "Nanzhao" is associated with its geographical location - Dali, do you feel a little more joy in your heart? Because it refers to the poems and distant places that most people yearn for.
Nanzhao Customs Island is located in the Erhai Lake, in the Shuanglang Town on the west bank of the Erhai Lake.
When walking in Shuanglang Town, no matter where you are, you can see a corner of Nanzhao Style Island. It makes people feel that Nanzhao Style Island and Shuanglang are like two twin sisters, growing up with each other.
The styles of Shuanglang Town and Nanzhao Custom Island have long been integrated. The literary and romantic characteristics of Shuanglang Town have been passed on to Nanzhao Custom Island, and the tranquil and simple features of Fengfeng Island have also been absorbed and integrated by Shuanglang.
The trees on Nanzhao Customs Island are like a natural barrier, blocking people who just want to fully appreciate Nanzhao Customs Island from the shore, because it is surrounded by trees when viewed from the shore, making it hard to see the reality. Adds an ethereal feel to it.
Arriving at Fengqing Island Wharf by yacht, the outlines and shadows of everything on the island gradually become clear...
The whole island is surrounded by water, the buildings on the island are densely covered, the paths are criss-crossed, and the green forests and flowers are hidden from each other.
Nanzhao Customs Island is centered on the main square and Nanzhao Palace, and the comprehensive beach, Erhai Moon Observation Deck, and Sha Yimu Group Sculptures are all distributed around it.
If there is no cruise ship, this place seems to be another version of a paradise isolated from the world. The people on the island live by fishing, the people on the island do not want to leave the island, and the people outside the island cannot enter the island.
I think the reason why Nanzhao Customs Island has gained such a high popularity is that it satisfies people's longing for freedom and a fairyland on earth!
Xizhou Ancient Town
Xizhou Ancient Town is one of the four famous towns in Dali.
The ancient town is located in the field between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, close to Erhai Lake, so it covers fishing villages, Erhai Lake, fields, ancient towns, and green mountains.
As a pure ancient village of the Bai nationality, it has had a name since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and gradually formed a large-scale ancient town from a small village.
Walking into Xizhou, you will find intricate paths interspersed with each other, row upon row of modern and ancient Ming and Qing buildings, and every household has a small courtyard filled with various flowers.
Xizhou Ancient Town is not far from the busy city, but closer to the tranquility. It is like a hermit, hidden in the city. People's daily life here is the comfort that many people dream of.
The ancient town has convenient transportation, convenient life, and a strong cultural atmosphere. Various handmade art shops are scattered in the ancient town, which makes people feel that this is an "art town"!
Tianlong Babu Film and Television City
Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is a film and television base built in the style of the Dali Kingdom, so it is not only a scenic spot but also a filming location for film and television dramas.
The film and television city is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, at the end of Sanyue Street, only a few kilometers away from Dali Ancient City, so it has become one of the must-choice places for many people to visit Dali.
There are tall "ancient city walls" around the film and television city, and the charm of the film and television city can only be seen by entering through the distinctive gate.
The name of the film and television city "Dragon Babu" comes from Buddhist culture. It refers to eight mythological figures. Among them, the most familiar ones are Ashura, Garuda and Kinara, because these names have more or less been Appeared in "Journey to the West".
Walking into the film and television city, you will find that there are three parallel main streets, and the end of each main street is an important landmark building.
At the end of Dali Street are the main gate of the film and television city and the buildings of the Dali Kingdom Palace. On Daliao Street are Duan’s Embroidery Building and the side entrance. Ministry of film and television city complex.
Because the style of Tianlong Babu Film and Television City is completely different from the surrounding buildings, coupled with its mystery and closure, it attracts a lot of people to come and play.
People look for traces of film and television dramas here, imagine the appearance of Dali Kingdom here, go to the imperial palace to feel the majesty of Tianjia, go to Duan's Embroidery Building to participate in a wonderful game of recruiting relatives, and fully experience the customs that belonged to Dali thousands of years ago. !
Cangshan Ximatan
If "Ximatan" does not co-appear with Cangshan, then I think people's expectations for it may drop.
However, when Cangshan Mountain and Ximatan appear together, people's attention will be shifted to the top of Cangshan Mountain again.
Most people are familiar with Cangshan Mountain, but they don’t seem to have any impression of Ximatan. Ximatan is located on the top of Cangshan Mountain and is an ice-eroded lake.
According to legend, when Kublai Khan marched south to Dali, he detoured from here to Dali and stationed here to wash horses, so he got this name, but there is another saying that this pool is a water conservancy project built during the Nanzhao period.
Regardless of the reason, regardless of where it belongs, just looking at Ximatan, its stunning and peerless beauty is already unforgettable!
As the lake with the highest altitude in Cangshan Mountain, you need to take a cableway and take a transfer to get there. The beauty of Ximatan can be divided into two sections, one is the cableway stage, and the other is the gentle mountaintop stage with "tan water" as the core.
The beauty of the cableway stage belongs to the beauty of Cangshan Mountain, forests, ravines and dangerous peaks. The cableway will take you to feel the three-dimensionality and depth of Cangshan Mountain, see the criss-crossing ravines, and see the rolling fog.
When you reach the open area on the top of the mountain, you can visit by yourself without the cableway completely. At that time, the feeling that you can touch the sky with your hands is even more obvious!
Ximatan Scenic Area takes "tan water" as the core, and the tour plank road connects the entire tourist area. This is where the details of the Cangshan scenery are displayed. The sharp steep peaks, green firs, and fairy-like wild flowers cannot be seen clearly on the cableway. The Cangshan details are presented here in another form.
Cangshan Ximatan is sometimes dreamy, sometimes glamorous, and sometimes gentle. Its charm is varied, and perhaps this is the reason why people are obsessed with it.
Dali is not only a city of mountains and rivers, but also a city of classical culture, as well as a garden of ethnic minorities. Its characteristics have spawned a large number of "net celebrity attractions", and these attractions have been popular for a long time, attracting groups of people!
