Dali city gives me the feeling of one word "slow", so slow that winter has arrived, and autumn is still here. Here I have organized a travel guide for 3 days and 2 nights in Dali in winter for friends who want to go to Dali as a reference. — 📍Transportation: 🚅High-speed train: Get off at Dali Station, then exit the station to the blue sign where you can take the No. 8 bus to the East Gate/North Gate, or take the scenic area direct bus. ✈️Airplane: Dali has an airport, you can fly directly, but the airport is relatively far from the ancient city, but it is closer to Xiaguan, if you have time you can experience the night Xiaguan style. 🚖However, Dali's transportation is not very convenient, and many places cannot be visited by taking the bus. 😢 — 📍Essential scenic spots to check in: 1️⃣Dali Ancient Town: This is the core area of Dali tourism, with a deep historical charm, and it also carries Dali's culture! Although commercialization is unavoidable, it is still a place where foreign tourists check in. 😄 Admission: Free — 2️⃣Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas: This is the only national 5A scenic spot in Dali, known as the first temple of Han Buddhism, with great scenery and a high photo output rate. 👍 Admission: 75 — 3️⃣Erhai Lake along the line: As a symbol of Dali, to be honest, not going to Erhai Lake is really a waste of a trip to Dali. After going to Erhai Lake, I understand why Dali can become a place to soothe the soul. 🌊 Admission: Free/Boat ticket 140 — 4️⃣Shuanglang Ancient Town: Located on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake in Dali, it is known as the town with the best sea view. The Sun Palace and Moon Palace of the Peacock Queen Yang Liping are here, but I didn't make a reservation. 🏠 Admission: Free — 5️⃣Xizhou Ancient Town: This is a quiet and delicate thousand-year-old town. The ancient town is not big, and it only takes about half a day to have fun. The atmosphere is quite strong. 🗓️ Admission: Free — 6️⃣Nanzhao Fengqing Island: Surrounded by water on all sides, there are Guanyin statues, Nanzhao Royal Palace, the main square, and Taihu stones on the island! You must take a boat to get on the island. 🚢 Admission: 50 — 7️⃣Cangshan: This is my personal favorite, with eighteen peaks and eighteen streams, and the mountain top is covered with snow all year round. From here you can overlook the scenery of Dali Erhai Lake. 🏔️ Gantong cableway 80, Cangshan cableway 60 (round trip) The main scenery is on the Gantong cableway — 📍Three-day tour route recommendation: Day1: ◎Dali Ancient Town - ◎Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas - ◎Three Pagodas Reflection Park - Night tour of Dali Ancient Town Day2: ◎Erhai Lake - ◎Shuanglang Ancient Town - ◎Xizhou Ancient Town -◎Nanzhao Fengqing Island Day3: ◎Play in Cangshan — 📍About accommodation: You can see the introduction in picture 9 Cost: 3 days and 2 nights, accommodation 400 for two days! Including scenic spots, plus the cost of meals, the per capita cost is about 700. 🎫

Shijiazhuang - Kunming - Dali I made a lot of travel plans before finalizing the itinerary. I was very lucky to have almost no disappointments - sharing and recording my travel itinerary 🚥Transportation: We flew ✈️ to Kunming and went directly 🚘 to Dali on the same day (actually, the original plan was to take the high-speed train, but we missed it. The high-speed train would have been faster and cheaper) 🏠Accommodation: We stayed near the Dali ancient town. Inside the town, transportation is not convenient, so staying nearby is very nice. The prices are very good, 100+ per day can get you a very, very nice homestay. Since we arrived at night, we booked for three days and it still wasn't enough! The location is convenient for going anywhere~ 🗾Itinerary: On the first day, we chose to be in Haixi. Starting from Longkan Pier, we cycled along the coast 🚴🏻‍♀️. The two of us rode shared electric bikes. We did some research on this because you can't enter the ecological corridor with rented electric bikes. But the ecological corridor is worth visiting! So riding an electric bike is a better option 💰15/h. There are many parking spots. We passed all the scenic spots along the way, and the whole road is super beautiful! I kept exclaiming how beautiful it was, all the way to Xizhou. We took a tricycle to Xizhou Ancient Town. During the entire cycling trip, we stopped anytime to take photos and check in, which was particularly comfortable. ⚠️But everyone must, must pay attention to sun protection! If the sun is strong, you really can get sunburned! After strolling enough in Xizhou, you can take a bus directly back to the ancient town. In the evening, eat something near the ancient town and sleep beautifully~ On the second day, we chose to rent a Wuling Hongguang mini to go around the eastern part of the sea. The whole process was also along the coast. Renting a small electric car is what we think is the most cost-effective and comfortable way to travel. We could stop anytime to check in and then continue on our way~ 150km of battery life is completely enough. We went all the way to Shuanglang~ Then in the evening, we returned along the coast. The navigation was also very convenient. We drove while enjoying the seaside sunset ✌🏻The two-day itinerary basically ended like this. We could go to all the places we wanted to visit. On the third morning, we took the high-speed train/bus to Lijiang. We chose to 🚘 (because my boyfriend 💩 caused us to miss the high-speed train). I advise everyone to just go for it! You won't regret it once you go, and the cost of living is really not high ⚠️Remember! You must pay attention to sun protection! Definitely!

In Dali, I saw the reeds mentioned in poetry, the reeds that cover the mountains and fields, swaying in the wind. The reeds are lush, and the white dew turns to frost. The so-called beloved one is on the other side of the water. The reeds, known as reeds in the Book of Songs, have since become a synonym for the beloved. Autumn is here, sharing 4 stunning reed photography spots, go and see the beautiful reed marshes! 1. Xizhou, Dali, Shendujiang Village Navigate to Qingyao Guimu Countryside There is a free parking lot at the positioning point, just follow the road in front of the positioning point all the way to the Erhai Lake, remember to keep going. It's about a 30-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. The light is better in the afternoon, the reeds are very transparent in the sunlight, there is a beautiful path with reeds on the left and poplar forest on the right, right next to the water, a stunning photography spot! 2. Xizhou Navigate to: Ruijie Wutai You can park for free by the road, the entrance to the reeds is a dirt road, you can see it when you get there, and it's more lush as you go further inside. About 25 minutes drive from Dali Ancient Town. These reeds are white and wild, creating a full atmosphere when swaying in the wind! 3. Xizhou, Zhonghe Yi Search for Zhonghe Yi, and the scenery will appear before your eyes as you approach the village. There is a free parking lot at the entrance of the village, and motor vehicles are not allowed on the country roads, so the beautiful scenery won't be disturbed! About a 25-minute drive from Dali Ancient Town. If you are staying in Xizhou, it is highly recommended to take a walk in the morning, you will get an immersive experience! 4. Haidong Town, Dali Navigate to: Duzi Mountain, opposite is a place called Huabin Health Care Center, there is a temporary barrier at the entrance, just go straight to the seaside. Taking a taxi might not be so convenient, it is recommended to drive yourself, about an hour's drive from Dali Ancient Town! The light is best in the afternoon! You can also wait for the sunset, super romantic! This is the only photography spot where reeds, Erhai Lake, and Cangshan Mountain are all in the same frame!

In winter, you can also feed seagulls by the sea, and you can play for a whole day. 2, 📍Cangshan The most beautiful scenic line in Dali, with ninety peaks and eighteen streams, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, the scenery is particularly spectacular, here you can overlook the scenery of Dali Erhai. 3, 📍Shuanglang Ancient Town Known as 'The scenery of Dali lies in Cang'er, and the scenery of Cang'er lies in Shuanglang', Shuanglang Ancient Town is known as the first town of Cang'er scenery. The inn by the water, the tide beating the rocky shore, the sea gulls flying at the sunset, it seems that the clock here has slowed down. 4, 📍Shaxi Ancient Town 'To the place where the wind is' has made this place popular, it is a particularly healing place, only simplicity and tranquility, as a thousand-year-old town with a long history, it has a profound history, slow-paced life, and can better appreciate the cultural landscape of the tea horse town. 5, 📍Xizhou Ancient Town The spring in Dali Xizhou, with endless wheat fields, green and swaying with the wind, the breeze brings bursts of fragrance, now until June is the best viewing time, sitting on the terrace of Xilin Garden and drinking a cup of coffee, looking at the wheat field, the whole person has been healed! 6, 📍Xiaoputuo Xiaoputuo is an indispensable part of the Cangshan Erhai scroll, one of the eight ancient scenes of Erhai, here is the smallest Xiaoputuo in Yunnan, with a circumference of only 200 meters, 20 meters away from the shore, and a total area of about 100 square meters, the pavilion on the island was built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as Guanyin Pavilion. 7, 📍Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas A landmark attraction in Dali, one of the oldest and most magnificent buildings in Yunnan, China, known as the first temple in Han Buddhism, was built during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'Buddha Capital', nine of the 22 emperors of the Dali Kingdom became monks at Chongsheng Temple. 8, 📍Nanzhao Style Island Located next to Shuanglang Ancient Town, this is the largest island in Erhai, the island is surrounded by water on all sides, with seaside-like scenery, the main building on the island is Nanzhao Xinggong, the summer resort of the Nanzhao King.

Self-driving itinerary for 2 days at Erhai Lake in Dali | Accommodation and sightseeing guide . I have driven to Erhai Lake four times and summarized that there are a total of five suitable accommodation areas in the west and east of the lake. . 1️⃣Caicun. The advantage of living here is that it is located in the Haixi Ecological Corridor. 3km south of Caicun is the "Longgan Wharf", and 9km north is the "Banxi S Bend". These places are particularly beautiful and you can see the sunrise in the morning. Motor vehicles are not allowed in the Haixi Corridor, so you can walk or ride a bike. The disadvantage of choosing to stay in Caicun is that it is very close to Dali Ancient City, only 4km away. If you stayed in the ancient city for the first two days and drove here, it would be a bit awkward. 2️⃣Xizhou Ancient Town. The advantage of living in Xizhou is the quietness and the feeling of being in a small Bai village. It is also close to Haishetan Park, only 3km away, which makes it convenient to visit the "Couple Tree" for a check-in. I have stayed here twice, and at night, the village is relatively boring, so the only option is to take a walk by the seaside. 3️⃣Shuanglang Ancient Town. This is a scenic area that "combines beauty and talent". Although it is very commercialized, whether you are looking at Erhai Lake, watching the sunset, overlooking Cangshan Mountain, or strolling through the ancient town, tasting food, and enjoying coffee, it is worth your stay. There are two accommodation options in Shuanglang: if you want to be quiet in the bustling area, choose Dajian Village; if you like fireworks and want to go to bars at night, choose Shuanglang Village. 4️⃣Wasezhen. It is close to Xiaoputuo, about 4km away. In winter, there are more people watching seagulls here than seagulls themselves. Accommodation options in this area are limited and can be considered as a backup option. 5️⃣Ideal Country. Known as the "Santorini of China", it is a group of buildings on the mountain slope, with a sense of hierarchy like "terraces". There are very few hotels and homestays inside, and the prices are also very high. . After discussing accommodations, let's take a look at the itinerary. If you are staying in Shuanglang, my suggestion is: ☑️On the first day, you can rent a "little donkey" for cycling. Starting from north to south, passing through Luwo Mountain, Wase Town, and Xiaoputuo before returning, the round trip is about 40km. The highlight of this route is Luwo Mountain. After reaching the pass, be sure to park and hike all the way to the lake, reach the abandoned window, then follow a small path to the edge of the cliff, and arrive at the cave. ☑️On the second day, you can drive to Wenbi Village, Ideal State, and Longkan Wharf. The driving distance is about 70km. Drive slowly along the coastal road, roll down your car window, and let the sea breeze blow on your face. Because you know, this is the wind of farewell. Life has always been experiencing farewells, sometimes you leave your hometown, sometimes you bid farewell to your loved ones.

Don’t waste your time in Dali ancient town. It’s pretty much the same as any ancient town in China except for it’s much much bigger but this place, Xizhou is an authentic and Quaint ancient town.

I went to the scene of the TV play "Go to the Windy Place". Following the plot, I went to the ancient town of Dali, Xicun in Xiangyang, Xizhou ancient town, the famous Erhai Lake, Shaxi ancient town and Fengyang city. There should be a lot of famous places in Dali that are still waiting for the drama. There is a clip that impressed me deeply. It is a very beautiful scenery. It is the Cangshan Mountain in the snow. The most attractive time for the city is in winter. It's not particularly hot, it feels very refreshing, and you can see a variety of geological features. The main thing is that it is very romantic to calm down and enjoy it alone.I am a person who likes to live by the sea, but the ancient cities and villages here are so distinctive, and the price is close to the people, there is a feeling of simplicity, small bridges and flowing water, quiet houses, ethnic minority customs, and the place where the heroine lives in the TV series "Go to the Windy Place" is almost exactly the same. There are also many pedestrian streets and shopping malls and supermarkets, so it's easy to buy things. As we all know, the popular scenic spots here are the ancient city, Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain. However, there are still some scenic spots that are not inferior to the above ones in terms of features and scenery.And that is Shaxi Ancient Town: a tranquil ancient town, surrounded by green mountains and waters, with beautiful environment, fresh air and little human interference. Songsheng Temple: It looks like the royal residence in ancient times, with red walls and green tiles. It is very big. Xizhou Ancient Town: It is very beautiful here, with ancient streets, many beautiful women, and golden fields as far as the eye can see. It is simply the beauty of poetry. In some places, there is also a chance to take a tricycle, which is very contemporary.我到了电视剧《去有风的地方》的取景地 顺着剧情我到了大理的古镇，向阳的溪村，喜洲古镇，著名的洱海，沙溪古镇，凤阳邑。 后面还在等追剧应该还有很多大理有名的地方。 有一个片段让我印象深刻，是一个非常美的景色，是雪中的苍山，这座城市景色最吸引人的时候就是冬季。不会特别热感觉很清爽，能看到多种风貌的地质。主要是一个人静下心来享受很浪漫。我是一个喜欢住在海边的人，可是这里古老城池和村镇太有特色了，而且价格亲民，有一种古朴，小桥流水，宁静的大家宅院，少数民族风情的感觉，和电视剧《去有风的地方》里的女主住的地方几乎一模一样。这里还有很多步行街，也有商场超市，买东西很容易。 众所周知 这里的热门景区古城，洱海，苍山。不过还有一些景区不论特色还是景色都不输上面几个。那就是 1沙溪古镇：宁静的古镇，青山绿水环绕，环境优美，空气新鲜，少有人类干扰。 2嵩圣寺：这里很像古代的皇室居住地，红墙青瓦，非常大。 3喜洲古镇：这里非常漂亮，古老的街道，还有好多美女，金色的田地一望无际。简直就是诗词中的美景。 在有些地方还能有机会乘坐三轮车非常有时代感。

Xizhou Village is super quaint, tranquil and makes for the perfect countryside getaway! While here, you can find a bunch of different activities to get stuck into - including making your own tie dye items (t-shirts, handkerchiefs and more)! Plus, if you’re a big foodie like I am, this is THE place to pick up the one and only Xizhou Baba; a wheat-based flatbread stuffed with pork and scallions (and topped with egg if you want to go super deluxe) or sugary baba (which tastes like a freshly friend donut)! #leaveyourmark

Xizhou ancient town, stealing a half-day leisure Departing from Bohai West Road to Xizhou Ancient Town, there are many roads being repaired, so it has gone a lot of roads. On the other hand, this also makes me more I have walked through several villages in the countryside of Dali. The history of the ancient town of Xizhou was the Nanzhao period before the millennium. It was a major commercial and trade town at that time, and at that time it also produced the Xizhou business gang. It was also a transit station on the ancient tea-horse road, providing leisure for the past caravans. And the place to supply. In the ancient town of Xizhou, you can meet many well-preserved deep-stay courtyards. Therefore, to see the Bai people's residences, it is right to come to Xizhou. This is a very exciting flying arch in the Bai people's residence in Xizhou. The typical three-drip gate system, you can see that when it rains, the raindrops will pass through the first and second flying rafts, and then ticking. Answering the ground to the ground, it also means that the money is rolling. There are many beautiful murals on the entire gate, colored and beautiful, very beautiful.

It's also close to Xizhou Ancient Town and S Bay! I've put the house-hunting guide at the end of the post, so you can save it now and not lose it~ 1. It's a few minutes' walk to the Erhai Lake beach, and there are lots of seagulls this time of year. You can bring some biscuits to feed them. Watching the sunrise in the morning is super healing. Waiting for the sun to rise, it feels like a beautiful day starts here~ 2. The small courtyard on the first floor is very charming. You can lie lazily on the rocking chair and enjoy the slow life~ The cafe downstairs is also great, a paradise for coffee lovers.

Finding My Ideal Life in the Breeze 🌟 Fengyangyi Village At the foot of the old earthen walls, I watched an old woman weaving straw brooms. The aroma of roasted tea, just like in the drama "Meet Yourself," wafted from the courtyard next door. Two tabby cats were dozing on the wooden windowsill where Xu Hongdou sat in the show. Every shop was filled with fresh flowers 💐 🌟 Renting an electric scooter to ride around Erhai Lake is a must Starting from Longkan Wharf in the early morning, the metasequoia forest shimmered with silvery light. Bai women wearing headscarves carried bamboo baskets to collect snails. Riding to the S-bend in Panxi, I tossed the scooter onto the grass and lay on the boardwalk, listening to the sound of waves lapping against the wooden piles. 🌟 The rainbow road in Wenbi Village is only 200 meters long, but every corner holds a surprise: a deserted studio halfway up the mountain covered in bougainvillea, and a cafe converted from an old Bai house serving pour-over coffee in enamel mugs. I stayed here for a night. 🌟 What touched me most were the "unconventional" locals: the older sister making tie-dye in Xizhou Ancient Town, the uncle running a guesthouse in Shuanglang, and the grandmother selling Rushan cheese at the Cai Village market in the evening. It's one of my ideal places to settle down 💕 Now I finally understand why so many people come to Dali and never leave—time here is fluffy, like the clouds atop Cang Mountain, malleable and free.
