First time in Dali? No problem! Head to these six places without hesitation

Are you visiting Dali for the first time and don't know how to plan your trip? Don't worry, just follow this guide and let us show you the unique charm of Dali! 1. Haixie Park | A dreamy place in Xizhou Town 📍 Xizhou Town, Dali This is my favorite place! It has a huge lawn where you can sit and feel the breeze. It is especially suitable for camping. There are many photo spots in the park, such as the dreamy glass plank road. Walking on it is like stepping into a fairy tale world. The trees are reflected in the water, just like the world of light and shadow in Monet's paintings. There are also glass houses, waterfront walkways, seaside chairs... You can take atmospheric photos anywhere. A must-visit place for artsy people! 2. Jizhao Nunnery | A poetic Zen temple deep in Cangshan Mountain 📍 Cangshan Scenic Area (free) Jizhao Nunnery has a unique charm no matter when you come. In summer, hydrangeas bloom all over the mountains, which is unbelievably beautiful. After eating vegetarian meals, you can take a leisurely walk in the nunnery and feel the peace and tranquility. Or you can order a drink in the unique cafe or tea room in the mountains, breathe in the fresh air, and enjoy the comfort. It is simply a haven for the soul. 3. Canghai Yushang Grassland | A happy manor on the top of Cangshan Mountain 📍 Dali Canghai Resort Located in a treasure manor on Cangshan Mountain, it has a vast lawn with a great view. It is highly recommended to go there at sunset. The golden sunset shines on the grass, which is breathtakingly beautiful. There are also various cute little animals to feed, which is perfect for family trips. Friends who like animals or want to take beautiful photos should not miss it. 4. Cangshan Image Natural Museum | An art window between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake 📍 Dali Yinqiao Town (near Wuwu Temple) A pure white building, simple and elegant. The second floor is an excellent viewing platform. Standing there, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. The museum often holds various wildlife photography exhibitions. Each photo is shocking. I especially like the glowing mushroom wall, as if I have entered a fantasy forest. The Daqing Tree Cafe on the third floor has a super chill environment. Sitting in front of the large glass window, drinking coffee and enjoying the scenery, you can enjoy a lazy time. 5. Shuangyuan Creek | A cool water paradise in summer 📍 Dali Yinqiao Town (near Wuwu Temple) It is right next to the Cangshan Image Natural Museum. The two attractions can be visited together. It's so cool to come here in summer! Put on your sandals, walk into the stream, feel the cool water flowing across the back of your feet, and you can also go upstream to play in the water, soak watermelons in the stream, make tea by the stream... There is also a waterfall by the stream, with water rushing down, splashing layers of water, which is definitely a summer resort. 6. Wuwu Temple | A quiet ancient temple deep in the mountains 📍 150 meters east of Dali 023 Township Road This temple hidden in the mountains is quiet and secluded, surrounded by towering trees, isolating it from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Here, you can taste delicious vegetarian meals, experience the fun of fetching mountain spring water, and if you are lucky, you can see lively and cute little squirrels. In summer and autumn, you can also pick mushrooms, feel the gifts of nature, and enjoy a unique peace and beauty.
