The 9-day tour from Dalian to Kunming, Shilin, Dali, Lijiang, and Yunnan Banna launched by the tourism industry is also a popular tourist project among tourists.
This route is not only because of the unique scenery, tropical style, Spring City style, but also the rich local customs.
Today I will focus on the scenery and people of Dali.
Dali Prefecture, the full name of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, is located in the west of central Yunnan Province, bordering Chuxiong Prefecture to the east, Pu'er and Lincang to the south, Baoshan and Nujiang to the west, and Lijiang to the north.
Dali Prefecture has a long history and is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yunnan. It is known as the "Famous Literary Prefecture".
Dali is located on a low-latitude plateau, with little temperature difference among the four seasons, distinct dry and wet seasons, mild climate throughout the year, and fertile land.
It is famous for its beautiful scenery and ethnic customs.
Butterfly Spring, Erhai Lake and Chongsheng Temple are the most representative attractions.
Dali's landscapes are beautiful and colorful, and are known as "Wind, Flowers, Snow and Moon", namely Xiaguan Peak, Shangguan Flower, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon.
The ancient city of Dali is located at the foot of Cangshan Mountain and is a famous tourist attraction.
The ancient city faces the rippling Erhai Lake to the east and the verdant Cangshan Mountain to the west, forming a pattern of "one water surrounds Cangshan Mountain, and Cangshan Mountain embraces the ancient city".
Some old houses are still as they were in the past, with flowers and trees in the yards, birds singing, and streams gurgling outside.
"One house with three eyes and several pots of flowers" is a vivid portrayal.
The Huguo Road running from east to west in the ancient city is called "Foreigner Street".
There are Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, teahouses, and handicraft shops next to it.
Signs and advertisements are mostly written in foreign languages, attracting blond and blue-eyed "foreigners".
The ancient city of Dali can be called the ancient city scenic spot with the largest permanent resident population in Yunnan. It is a gathering place for literary and artistic youth and the back garden of idealists.
Erhai Lake northwest of Dali is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province.
The lake is long and narrow, and the water is crystal clear.
It has been known as the "flawless jade in the mountains" since ancient times. It is the location of Erhai Moon, one of the four scenic spots in Dali.
It is said that it was named "Erhai" because it resembles an ear, and is known as the "Pearl of the Plateau".
Viewed from the air, Erhai Lake looks like a crescent moon, lying quietly between Cangshan Mountain and Dali Bazi.
Boating on the Erhai Lake gives people a poetic and picturesque feeling of "the boat is floating in the blue waves and the people are swimming in the scroll".
Erhai Park is an excellent place to enjoy the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake.
Erhai Lake has three islands, four continents, five lakes and nine bends.
The three islands are Jinsuo Island, Chiwen Island and Tianer Island.
The four continents are Qingshabi, Daguan Foundation, Yuanyang and Ma Li'an.
The five lakes are Nantang Lake, Beitang Lake, Julian Lake, Long Lake and Bozhou Lake.
The nine songs are the Lotus Song, the Daji Song, the Party Discipline Song, the Fengyi Song, the Radish Song, the Niu Ming Song, the Yin Bo Song and the Gao Yan Song.
There are many beautiful bays in Erhai Lake, including Haidong Bay, Caise Bay, Kanglang Bay and Shuanglang Bay.
The Three Towers of the Temple Mount are the symbol and symbol of Dali, an important cultural landscape of the Dali National Tourist Scenic Area, and one of the oldest and most magnificent buildings in southern China.
The 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are like a screen in the west, and the 250 square kilometers of Erhai Lake are like a mirror in the east.
The mountains and seas stretch as far as the eye can see, and Bai villages are dotted here and there.
Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas Tourist Area is located between famous mountains and water.
There is harmony in the changes of the three towers, and unity in the opposition. They are interdependent and natural.
They are integrated with "Yu'er Silver Cang", showing the natural and elegant oriental beauty.
Dali, Butterfly Spring, has "three wonders": spring, butterfly and tree.
Butterfly Spring is as clear as a mirror.
Albizia julibrissin, an ancient tree at night, with lush branches and leaves.
Spring is beautiful. The exotic flowers and plants on Yunfeng Mountain are full of vitality. The fragrance of the acacia trees on the edge of spring attracts a large number of butterflies.
