Discovering the Art of Breathing in Dali's Half-Mountain

In Dali's Half-Mountain, I discovered the secret to breathing away the summer heat. When the city turns into a "grill," summer here remains a refreshing 25°C with a hint of mint—Cangshan filters the heat into pine breezes, and Erhai softens the summer air into gentle ripples. 🛏️ The Philosophy of Living Waking up to the aroma of pine needle tea, I find the bay window has automatically adjusted to the perfect viewing angle: ▫️ To the left, Cangshan is "pulling up its blanket" (the clouds and mist on the mountain top are so adorable!) ▫️ To the right, Erhai sparkles like "scattered silver pieces." So this is what the ancients meant by "enjoying the beauty of nature without leaving your seat." 🌌 Nighttime Surprise The housekeeper whispered to me, "Tonight, Scorpio will rise from the pool's surface." Lying in the heated pool counting shooting stars, I suddenly understood why the Bai people call the Milky Way the "Milk Road." 📖 Unexpected Discovery While flipping through the "Flora of Western Yunnan" in the book bar, a purple cochoa flew past the window. —In that moment when the illustrations in the book overlapped with reality, I suddenly believed in the spirit of all living things. This summer, instead of scrolling through your phone in an air-conditioned room, why not come to Half-Mountain and accomplish three small things: 1️⃣ Let your skin remember the taste of the wind 2️⃣ Host a landscape art exhibition for your eyes 3️⃣ Tune your heartbeat to the rhythm of Erhai's waves
