▲ 2 minutes to explore the secret place in the south of Caiyun / It is recommended to watch in horizontal screen /

You like the sunshine here first, then its air, food, rhythm, scenery... Finally, there may be only one reason for you to stay - the lazy lifestyle.

There are countless secret places in Yunnan, but I love Dali the most. Walking in Dali, whether it is near the water, sitting on a terrace, or an alley paved with stone steps, without exception, it has the magic power that makes people unable to move their legs.

This magic power comes from the warm sunshine, the wind caressing the cheeks, the cries with a unique breath of life, and the heartfelt feelings from you and me——its breath makes you unforgettable.

This winter, when the old and the new are changing, I drove a red flame red TNGA brand new Ralink, starting from Kunming all the way west, welcoming the upcoming 2020 with a New Year's Eve trip.

He Shun Consummation "Lend me an autumn, but you say it's already winter"

In the expressway service area, an old woman came towards me. I knew she wanted to sell something, so I turned and walked back.

Her companions flanked him from the other direction.

"Emerald?" "No."

"Volcanic stone?" "..."

"Orange?" I shook my hand at her.

She shrugged her shoulders, muttered, "You have to spend some money to play", and disappeared into the distance.

That's probably the best part of traveling - meeting all kinds of people.

Undoubtedly, I met a lot of straightforward and enthusiastic people in Yunnan—they never restrained their enthusiasm, and never concealed their straightforwardness. That is the breath of humanity, the taste of Yunnan.

At a certain moment in life, people meet each other, pass each other, and go on their own journeys, and there will be no intersection. I was reminded of a saying I heard in India: "Life is an illusion." It made me finally stop worrying about the future or the past.

To meet is to say goodbye, to arrive is to depart.

Tomorrow, I will leave Yunnan. At this moment, I stand on the street and watch the whole city gradually fall asleep.

▲Across the mountains and the sea, I just want to find the most beautiful scenery

Cangshan Erhai "The sun is strong, the water waves are gentle"

God is fair, and it often compensates the lost in unexpected ways. When you have to drive on the expressway for 5 hours before arriving at Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, which Dali people are proud of, you will understand how much the scenery of Dali is worth looking forward to.

For nearly a thousand years, they have maintained their own traditions and culture almost piously—accessible to the large courtyards, exquisitely carved eaves, beautifully painted residential houses, and lively markets, and preserved the local culture to the greatest extent. original appearance.

The moment of trance seems to have the power to travel through time and space, leading you to see the flexible and strong Yunnan pony walking through the mountains, accompanied by the wind, flowers, snow and moon, walking towards the ancient tea-horse road, and a series of crisp bells penetrated into the ears, washing the whole body nostalgia.

Even if you come to Dali 100 times, you can't avoid the sight of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Cangshan Mountain is so huge that you can see its majestic figure no matter where you are; Erhai Lake is so soft and beautiful that no matter how far you are from her, you want to come back to her.

The ring-sea road from Dali to Shuanglang has to pass through a whole piece of southern Pyrenees-like countryside. On this vast khaki-yellow hill, continuous windmills follow the gentle curve of the top of the hill, carelessly Stretching, without rules but without losing harmony.

Compared with the overly dreamy countryside of the Alps, the scenery of Dali is much more simple. Under the warm winter sun, the waves of the Erhai Lake are covered with a layer of light silver gray. Against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds, it looks unruly and stubborn.

Based on the complete replacement of Ralink's TNGA structure, it makes its appearance more youthful and avant-garde. The design of low center of gravity, wide body, long wheelbase, and low front nose makes the body stable and solid, giving people a strong sense of grip. Galloping down, like a flame piercing the earth.

Drive out of the Huanhai Highway and drive to Wulongba Caomat. It takes more than an hour to drive for only 50 kilometers. The winding mountain road climbs over mountains and reaches the highest point on the south bank of Erhai Lake. Climb all the way, hairpin turns one after another, the "Bending Artifact" in the 1970s and the "God of Drifting in the Autumn Mountain" in the 1980s still have outstanding handling performance in 2020.

Steep and sharp mountain slopes, TNGA-C platform front McPherson independent? The newly upgraded steering system provides a smoother and more accurate steering feel, which enhances the confidence of driving on mountain roads.

Fireworks in the world "Everything in the world, except life and death, which one is not a matter of nostalgia"

The Shuanglang surrounded by countryside stretches between the northeast coast of Erhai Lake and Jizu Mountain in Binchuan. The whole town is built along the seaside. The people who came brought the precious hydrophilic platform.

The Shuanglang is very small, but its history can be traced back to the important military fortress and navy base of the Nanzhao Dali Kingdom in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Nowadays, there is no gunpowder smoke from the battlefield. The unique geographical location has built a number of B&Bs and inns stretching out to the sea, bringing a sense of comfort to the dry soul. The agility of water.

Most of the main streets of an ancient town are the same, but you can find unique elements in those forked alleys. A morning market is not over yet, buyers and sellers are bargaining unhurriedly under the sun, and fresh ingredients from the surrounding land are lying under the warm sun, waiting to become delicious ingredients.

Aunts of the Bai nationality slowly counted the money, not much, but it was the harvest of the morning; the grandma with the child on her back strolled the market, the child was comfortable in the sun, and fell asleep already, regardless of the yelling from the side; Meet each other on the street and just chat for a while, it's very pleasant.

The uncle of the Bai nationality who loves to smoke sits in the sun, smoking a cigarette, doing nothing, basking in the warm sun, waiting for his wife to make lunch.

Different from many newly-built scenic spots, the residents who have lived in Shuanglang for generations let the fireworks of life waft in the town, bringing spiritual relaxation to people coming from afar.

The stagnation of time "The days without dancing are not a disappointment to life"

Looking at the alleys in front of me and the people living here, I felt extremely emotional, as if I came all the way here just to envy the blue sky without smog and those people who are comfortable and do not worry about KPI.

Those daily frustrations, busyness, and frustrations do not show the helplessness of life, but the greed of desire. I think of the Buddha's teaching:

"All constructions will collapse; people or things that are aggregated in our lives will eventually be separated; the world we see is the result of our own perception, and it does not really exist."

Compared with Lijiang and Wuzhen, the ancient town of Xizhou is less well-known. This is the gathering place of the Bai people. The residential communities full of ink and wash atmosphere are neatly located on both sides of the ancient stone alleys.

The layout of each courtyard is very natural and appropriate, and the emphasis is on a refined style. The unique shape and almost perfect structure give people a solemn and vigorous yet light and clever, simple and elegant yet free and easy texture and aesthetic feeling.

The ancient tea-horse road that was once familiar in other people's words, the ancient villages where chickens and dogs know each other, and the historical picture scroll of blood-forged alliances of gold and iron horses make Northwest Yunnan, which carries a long and ancient charm, a dream that people go further and further away. , lingering in my heart for many years.

The road into Xizhou Ancient Town is very narrow. When meeting cars, there are cars on one side and walls on the other. There are low stones in some places, so driving is very difficult. Ralink is equipped with the largest 12.1-inch display screen in its class, which is very useful. It is not only "big", but also can be installed to display 360-degree real-time video of the front, rear, and left and right of the car. In narrow alleys, in narrow alleys, It is very convenient to observe the surrounding situation on the large screen.

New Year's Eve Fireworks "You are a nearby light and a distant galaxy"

Dali is like a book, which needs to be opened page by page.

Sunshine is a bit of a luxury, because I spent more than 500 yuan for air tickets (Xi'an-Kunming) and 5 hours of expressway driving (Kunming-Dali), and I can sit and watch all this in the sunshine away from the hustle and bustle and smog.

The barista moved out of the small table and served afternoon tea with fruits and coffee. Next to it was a copy of "China Daily", which talked about the recent situation of the Japanese nuclear accident.

The busyness of the city has made us lose the ability to imagine. If one day, sitting in such an environment, the clouds in the sky are flowing, and the warm sunshine hits us like waves, stop at this time, let go of our thoughts, and swim. The clouds that go fly together.

Dali's sunshine is warm and extravagant, and the fading light and cooling breeze remind me that the night is coming.

The sun slanted to the west, and under the setting sun, Cangshan Mountain blocked the sun's rays, and a huge shadow slanted towards the world, like a lightning bolt and a ball of fireworks. Erhai Lake is full of smoke curling up, and the surface of the sea is a suffocating emptiness. The Three Pagodas of Dali under the Cangshan Mountain were lit up, and the landscape pool of the "Xie Chunqiu" Inn not far away just reflected their reflections. Sitting by the water and looking into the distance, it was like a movie.

Thinking of China Daily's report on the Japanese nuclear leak on the coffee table in the afternoon, I feel that this is the common problem of all urbanites: talking about things far away, but turning a blind eye to the beauty that is close at hand.

The darkness finally engulfed the earth, the sky became three-dimensional in an instant, and stars like cast lead sprinkled the earth. The outdoors-addicted owner of "Bashe Hotel" - a Fujianese who served as a soldier in the Northeast - has already prepared dinner: pork stuffed dumplings, rice noodles, and Dali V8 beer. After that, the wonderful New Year's Eve activities will begin, which will be different from the previous ones.

Under the Cangshan Mountain, overlooking the high point of the entire Dali City, the view is unprecedentedly open. The city has not yet fallen asleep. Car lights, street lights, and thousands of lights are mixed together, like a complicated background, in which all the 2019 shows memories.

Ralink in the night exudes charming charm in the background of the city. The whole series is equipped with standard LED headlights to illuminate the road ahead in the dark. The clear lines of the parking space give people a sense of fashion and stability.

The new year is coming, burn all the unhappiness with fireworks, and welcome the rising sun with anticipation.

For Dali, the New Year's Eve is not only a lively sales place, but also a quiet sanctuary.

The lively "Twelve Steps" by the uncle of the Yi nationality shows the unknown hospitality of this nation to the fullest; the cup of coffee on the roof is separated from the world as much as possible, creating an undisturbed space under the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake.

The darkness of the Erhai Lake engulfs the earth, but the sunset is still shocking; the atmosphere under the Three Pagodas is quiet and pure, as calm as the reflection in the water.

Food and wine take over the city at night, and there is a relaxation that is not usually available after drinking a cup; the tranquility of the vast land in the suburbs provides a haven for those who are lost to curl up.

Quieter than Lijiang, more affectionate than Chang'an, this is Dali.

postscript

The ancient age picture scroll carved in time, the strongest stroke, marked with the symbol of youth, has the green of green grass, the blue of Cangshan and Erhai, the stunning and cool red and the gentle and pure white.
