My first stop in Yunnan - Dali

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!

Early autumn in Dali~ Dominated by reeds!

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!

Yunnan Dali Erhai Lake travel guide is here.

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.

These ancient towns in Yunnan are so beautiful.云南的这些古镇太美了

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.

Xizhou Ancient Town is great, but there are some things to avoid.

💕 Every time I go to Xizhou Ancient Town, I am amazed by the passage of time. 📅 On a rare holiday, I don't even want to spend half a day in Dali Ancient Town, so going straight to Xizhou Ancient Town is a wise choice. - [Xizhou Ancient Town] There are many ways to have fun, such as wandering through the alleys 🚶 or experiencing the romance of the season in the rice and wheat fields. You can also find every photo spot worth collecting 📷 or take a ride on the Youfeng train to enjoy the scenery 🚂 Or you can find a homestay to relax, have a cup of afternoon tea, and think about life, which is great ☕️ In short, nothing you do in Xizhou Ancient Town is a waste of time. 👇 After visiting a few times, I think you should avoid... Xizhou Baba, a snack that amazed me ten years ago, but this time I found the quality and taste to be inconsistent. In summary, the ones that sell out early are delicious, and the ones that are still available at night are probably not good 😭 This time, I wanted to eat baba at night, but I couldn't find any that were sold out. I found a shop run by an old man, and not only was it not good, but I also got a white eye 🙄️ I won't say which one specifically, as it may not be accurate, but the ones that sell out early are probably good. - 🤣 I haven't encountered any other places to avoid in Xizhou yet.
