Just in time for the free 1-day test drive event of the car dealership, the fare around Erhai Lake saved nearly 300 yuan. Because it is the off-season, air tickets and hotels are super cheap, and Dali should enter winter in mid-December, so the weather is very good at this time when we go!

From the cold and hazy winter in Zhengzhou, 3 hours into the blue sky and white clouds, beautiful scenery, and autumn Dali, how cool it is to be!

Living in a homestay near Erhai Gate, Ziqing Courtyard opened several shops with the same owner, Xiaoqiao Liushui people, with blue sky and white clouds, bacon hot pot, tsk tsk

tsk tsk

There is a "Four Seasons Market" 100 meters in front of the homestay, and there are many literary and artistic shops, because they have not been maintained for a long time, they are slightly dilapidated, and there will be small performances and night markets in the evening

The

next day I rented a car around Erhai Lake, the route was: Butterfly Spring - Xizhou Ancient Town - Shuanglang Ancient Town + Nanzhao Island - Xiaoputuo

There

is a performance in the Butterfly Spring, Xizhou Ancient Town just drove around the road around the town, and the beautiful scenery was similar everywhere, even the scenery of the service area halfway was delightful

The blue sky seen in the car rental shop The service area in the middle of

the Shuanglang Ancient Town has been built perfectly, the Y-shaped road, to the right Shuanglang commercial street, to the left is Nanzhao Island, to buy a ferry ticket, to Nanzhao Island, On the island, you can see Yang Liping's Moon Palace

Nanzhao Island Looking at the Moon Palace

from Shuanglang to the coastal roadside of Xiaoputuo, there will be many, many anchors and photographers, be very slow and careful, from the roadside you can take a rope boat to Putuo Island manually, Inside, Guanyin Bodhisattva is enshrined, and the statues left by the ancestors are very kind and have the taste of time.

It was already 18 o'clock when I returned to Dali city, and the sun was still very high, so I went to see the highest altitude university - Dali University. It's worth the trip

There

was a little light rain at noon the next day, and after lunch, I went to the Three Pagodas of Dali, not much nonsense, pictured above

Arrive in Jinghong at night, stay in a hotel near the Shwedagon Pagoda Temple, and visit the night market at night

Xishuangbanna has a pleasant climate, rich ingredients, lush vegetation, suitable for long-term living, just to look at the scenery, there is really no decent landscape, flower garden in the city, Manting Park, etc., from the back door of Manting Park is the main Buddha Temple, you can enter and exit with tickets, Manting Park has elephant performances and evening singing and dancing bonfire performances; If you want to go to the Zhongke Botanical Garden, you must stay in a hotel in the botanical garden, get tickets and get double breakfast, and the environment is beautiful; If you are not afraid of the long distance, you can go to Wangtianshu, because there is no highway to repair the highway, we only rented a car and went to the Chinese Botanical Garden and returned to the city.
