2019-11-22 The starting point of the Dali-Yunnan west line tour, let's start with the Erhai Lake loop tour!
Dali, this is the third time. I have never walked the ring road twice before. The first time I lived in Xiabo Peng Village, and the second time I lived in Cai Village. Now the roads on the west line of Erhai Lake have been completely remodeled, and the west line is basically the whole line. The road was closed, so I went directly to Xizhou Ancient Town.
I really admire those who ride electric horses around the lake
Walk into Xizhou Ancient Town
There are hundreds of Bai folk residential buildings with their own characteristics in the Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, Republic of China and contemporary periods in the town.
When you meet an old house in Xizhou Ancient Town, one wall is enough for a pose, isn’t it very old-fashioned?
"The No. 1 Town of Canghai Scenery": Shuanglang Ancient Town, I have to say that it is not as good as I imagined. Even in November, which is the off-season, there are many tourists and it is noisy.
It's almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are so many tourists, it can be seen that it is a must-see for every tourist.
However, it should be a good choice to live in the ancient town for two days. After all, there are still relatively few tourists in the morning and evening, but cars cannot drive into the ancient town. This is why I did not choose to stay in Shuanglang Ancient Town when I returned to Dali.
About Yang Liping’s Sun Palace (an inn on the Erhai Lake): When the government launched the protection action of the Erhai Lake, many inns on the Erhai Lake were closed, including the Sun Palace. After the inn was closed, Yang Liping also responded to the incident very seriously, and said with certainty that the hotel was not polluted.
Yang Liping said that Sun Palace has always been zero-emission since the building was built, and the so-called "closure of business for rectification" due to non-compliance with sewage discharge standards on the Internet is just a rumor. "
This is Yang Liping's "Sun Palace" in the legend, but you can't enter it at will, and you need a tea seat fee of 100 yuan to enter.
It was 5:45 p.m. when we came out of Shuanglang, and it was already sunset when we drove along the east line of Erhai Lake to Little Putuo.
2019-11-23 A good day starts with breakfast
Morning at Erhai Lake: quiet and peaceful
Erhai Park (called "Tuanshan" by the locals): covers an area of about 864 mu, with a water area of 1065 mu.
In Erhai Park, you can have a panoramic view of the three hundred miles of Erhai Lake.
2019-11-24 Depart from Dali and directly arrive at Tengchong Ginkgo Village, which is the main destination of this trip.
in the morning mist
the mist gradually dissipates
There are more than 3,000 ancient ginkgo trees distributed in Ginkgo Village, among which, there are more than 50 trees over 500 years old, over 70 over 400 years old, over 150 over 200-300 years old, and over 600 over 30 years old. , there are 2100 plants over 20 years old. In addition, there are 1,000 mu of young and middle-aged forests, about 33,000 trees.
It really deserves to be: "The village is in the forest, and the forest is in the village"
After breakfast, return to the inn to rest.
2019-11-26 This year's ginkgo trees turned yellow later than in previous years, so this year has not yet reached the best viewing period. Since the accommodation is only booked for two nights, we will arrange the following itinerary and come back when we return.
Passing Longjiang Bridge (double name - Longjiang Super Bridge): The bridge adopts a double-tower single-span steel box girder suspension bridge with a total length of 2470 meters. The bridge deck is 280 meters away from the river surface. Meters, it is the steel box girder suspension bridge with the largest span in the mountainous area of Asia.

Wanding Bridge: Located on the Wanding River, a boundary river about 20 meters wide between Wanding and Jiugu Town, Myanmar, it is the intersection of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Sino-Indian Highway (Stilwell Highway).
During the Second World War, the Japanese army blocked all the sea outlets in China, and the Burma Road became the only land channel for the international anti-fascist camp to aid China's strategic materials. The distribution center, where hundreds of thousands of military vehicles transport supplies to the inland every day, hundreds of thousands of Chinese expeditionary forces enter and leave the country from here, and Wanding began to develop.
Moli Waterfall: Moli Waterfall is the waterfall with the largest drop in Dehong and even southwestern Yunnan. The clear spring water pours down from a 60-meter-high cliff, forming a scene of "folding water like cotton, without using bows and bullets to scatter flowers".
2019-12-1 Return to Tengchong, Yunnan West Tour.
After five years, I went to Heshun Ancient Town again, adding a lot of literary and artistic atmosphere.
Staying at this inn in Heshun Ancient Town, this may be one of the few yards in Heshun Ancient Town where you can park your car! The environment is also beautifully built, and the boss is also very nice.
