Milan Kundera said: Live elsewhere. This sentence has been regarded as a life creed by countless people and put into practice. Here, this elsewhere is particularly important, it must be the place that calms your heart and fades away from impetuousness, and you, as if you have forgotten everything in an instant, just to meet it.

A hurried encounter a few years ago made me fall in love with Dali and never forget it. In my dreams, I have returned here countless times, back to the mountain roads winding around the ancient city. The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, the liveliness is still there, and the sun caresses every inch of my skin with an infinitely gentle attitude. There is a large sea of flowers in the distance, and the clouds under the blue sky are like enlarged marshmallows.

Different people's feelings about Dali are also very different. Some people think that Dali is just a post station, not as amazing as Lijiang. And my love for Dali has always been a feeling, and this kind of emotion from the bottom of my heart is difficult to describe in words. From the moment of leaving, there was a strong urge to return here, to the home of all the "wanderers", to this poetic habitat.

There is no place that can give me such a strong sense of "retreat". Only after experiencing the hustle and bustle of the world can you feel that this tranquility is so precious. Finally, I understood why so many people were willing to give up everything in the big city, run here, rebuild and build their own homes, and never ask about the affairs of the world again.

From the first time we met, to a period of time wasted here every year, the days here are quiet and plain, and they have never changed. I want to keep the indifferent years, even if I sit at the window and watch the clouds quietly, occasionally, a few birds fly by in the sky, and occasionally, the wind blows and ruffles my hair, which is a kind of happiness.

Hi, Dali, long time no see, don't come safely!

Over the years, I have measured many places with my footsteps,

but like the wind in the mountains blowing for 100,000 miles,

my favorite is still you.

I love you,

I never need a sense of ritual,

you are my highest ideal

It's my poetry and distance.

spring water is rising, spring forests are blooming, and spring flowers are ten miles ......

In fact, not only spring,

but also your four seasons are a sea of flowers.

You have the elegance of mountains and seas, the authenticity of life,

at this moment, "facing the sea, spring flowers blooming" is no longer just a poem

It's my current life.

Memories are like a storyteller,

with a local accent,

and you are an indispensable part.

Your historical story that has flowed for thousands of years, the

endless years and slow time,

have become the best memories in my heart.

Ancient Town: A place of happiness in the world

The ancient town,

you are a beautiful prose poem,

brick by brick ,

are all millennia of circulation.

1. The ancient city of Dali

is like a long-lost lover, Dali welcomes my arrival again with the scorching sun, Intoxicated by this sudden surprise, the feelings in my heart began to roll.

have come to Dali once a year in recent years, even if it is so frequent, I still feel that the ancient city has changed a lot, and many shops in my memory are gone. A little sentimental.

However, this thousand-year-old city still has its special charm, and too many people come from thousands of miles to see it. Walking through the streets and alleys of the ancient city, you will not only feel the heavy historical atmosphere, but also the unparalleled tranquility.

Ancient city walls, smooth stone roads, shops one by one, a dazzling array of handicrafts in the shops, all kinds of snacks sold along the streets, and fashionable dressing, Young men and women carrying various bags are like fireworks in the world.

This is an ancient city where many people live and where their dreams begin, and their hearts rest at peace. During the day, I strolled through every deep alley of the ancient city, looking at the green tile houses and mottled walls, and then went to a spacious courtyard, ordered a cup of hot tea or coffee, and enjoyed the passage of time.

When the

lanterns are lit, take a walk on the People's Road in the ancient city. The evening breeze is gentle, and there will be a happy thought when you walk on the People's Road in the evening.

This street from east to west is not long, but it used to attract backpackers from all over the world. From Erhai Gate to Cangshan Gate, stalls selling various small items can be seen everywhere, and intermittent singing comes from time to time.

Now, Renmin Road is no longer set up for stalls, and there are not many tourists, which makes it look a little deserted, which is full of emotion. Over the years, I have seen its glory and its depression, and many days have not been able to go back, but this street is still my favorite.

2. Xizhou Ancient Town

Xizhou Ancient Town, I have been here more than once in my impression. Unlike other towns in Dali that are known for their beautiful scenery, the most charming thing about Xizhou Ancient Town is its strong humanistic atmosphere.

is a thousand-year-old town left by the ancient city of Nanzhao, facing Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west, which is solemn and thick and light and agile. Even Mr. Lao She said that this is a miracle place.

All kinds

of old houses in the ancient town have distinct and strong Bai characteristics in terms of culture, architecture, style, etc. It's away from the hustle and bustle, and the quiet and peaceful atmosphere is what I like.

Xizhou Most of the elderly in the ancient town will put some handicrafts in front of their homes to sell to tourists. Everything is like going back to the distant past.

Walking on the quaint streets of Xizhou, looking at the old, mottled earthen walls, I seem to see the long-lost rural life again. Xizhou Round Tower is a landmark building of the ancient town, and many young people like to come here to take photos.
