When the last ray of light floods the water at eight o'clock in the evening,

the romance of the blue moment comes to mind.

When the smoke drifts at the end of the fields under the Cangshan Mountains,

steadfastness and warmth strike us walking in the wheat fields.

When the roof of the ancient city gives rise to a purple wildflower

, a tiny corner can be thrillingly beautiful......

Here, the summer sky becomes extremely long, and

I feel like I am in a scene from a Miyazaki movie.

Warmth and beauty are still the main tone of life,

and I understand that this is the Dali of summer.

-Xizhou-Miyazaki's

summer looks like a

scene in Miyazaki's animation

, rice fields, starry sky, hillsides, blue sky, white clouds, tile houses, ......

On a sunny day, every frame captured in the camera can be used as a computer wallpaper.

Xizhou's summer is extremely Japanese.

If I really lived here,

I would probably have both the heart of watching the clouds and the clouds of Cangshan every day, and

the freedom of strolling in the courtyard.

On the edge of the summer field, put on a good-looking hat and

walk in the middle of the path with a few friends

It's like a quiet and warm Japanese movie.

Or that the people of Yunnan love life,

if we live in the steel forest,

who would have thought that a courtyard wall would be painted in such a bright and lovely color.

Under the clear sky, what shines are the wonderful fragments of life.

-Cangshan-Cangshan that

can be seen from a distance, is everywhere

The

best angle to view Cangshan is

not deep into it

, but on the road between the mountain and Erhai Lake,

or in the middle of the streets of the ancient city.

Cangshan is different from Lijiang's Jade Dragon Snow Mountain,

which is always full of emerald color, and the clouds and mist are

a bit less rugged than the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain

There is more softness and warmth of the mountains.

Riding a bicycle, on the road by Erhai Lake,

on

the left is the continuous Cangshan Mountains

, on

the right is the rippling waves of Erhai Lake,

the

roadside is dotted with Bai houses

,

and there are endless rice fields,

and sometimes there are rainbows hanging in the mountains

after the rain,

and the romance of Dali was born.

The

Renmin Road of the ancient city faces a valley of Cangshan

After it rained, the clouds and mist in the mountains drifted

until the roof of the ancient city did not rest.

There are fairies in the mountains and mortals in the city;

Mountains and people have been getting along like this for hundreds of years.

Looking at Cangshan from a distance, travelers who come here will sigh:

they

have to walk at the foot of the sunny Cangshan Mountain.

It's not in vain to come to the world.

-Erhai Lake -

This lake is the blue ear of Guanyin listening to the affairs of the world

When you go around Erhai Lake, you can see three pagodas standing between Cang'er in the distance.

Legend has it that this pagoda is used to suppress the strange power in the water.

Dali is a famous country of Miaoxiang Buddhism, and the Bai people especially believe in Guanyin, and

even gave birth to their own unique Achaya Guanyin.

Avalokiteshvara, observing the suffering of the world and overcoming the sorrows of the world,

is the closest god and Buddha to all living beings in Buddhism.

The

long and narrow Erhai Lake is like a huge ear

for Guanyin Bodhisattva to listen to the suffering of Dali and transform sentient beings

This world is purer and safer than anywhere else.

The whole city is born around Erhai Lake,

with high-rise buildings facing the sea,

as well as the mountains and rivers of Yongzhen, a permanent ancient temple.

Standing on the shore of the double corridor,

opposite is Yang Liping's residence,

which she named her home after the sun and moon.

A dance shows the spiritual energy of birds

in such a beautiful and pure place,

so that such a human elf can be born.

It must be the absorption of Dali's own aura

to raise a dancer like Yang Liping.

There

is no snow in Erhai Lake in summer, but there are clouds.

One meter of sunshine is not Lijiang's patent,

on the sparkling water, beams

of

light penetrate the clouds like a god's gaze

watching this place of well-being on earth.

And when the sun sets,

the entire Erhai Lake becomes extremely gentle in warm colors.

-Dali Ancient City -

The fire of history will eventually be extinguished, and the world that ushers in the dawn is so dreamy.

Standing under the city tower Looking back on the ancient history of the ancient city of Dali, the

bricks and tiles and city walls that survived the war are still vividly remembered.

The

faces that survived in the war have long since gone with the torrent of time

, and now

the

most romantic people in the world are sitting under the city tower.

They sing their ideals late at night and walk and wander during the day.

Dali has come out of many ideal children and

created those precious spiritual worlds for this era.

The city tolerates what cannot be tolerated in the steel forest,

and teaches his children that they cannot give up their faith even if they suffer.

Summer has come to an end, and

the temperature tells us that autumn is coming at full speed.

Once night falls,

the cold air will immediately dispel the summer atmosphere in Xizhou during the day.

The ancient city at night seems to have changed seasons.

At this temperature, the most suitable thing is to find a friend

to eat steaming food around the stove.

Feed the empty stomach with seasonal vegetables and mountain delicacies,

and fill the

empty will with ideal music.

So when you walk into a restaurant like this

,

everything is right.

The walls of this store read:

"The Great Ideal of Being Far from the Dust"

In this era of attempts to replace humans themselves with machines,

hustle and bustle is the nature of cities, and

noise is a commonplace.

And the boss's maverick declaration

only looks like a joke

on the streets of the ancient city of Dali

.

Coordinates: No. 498, lower section of Renmin Road, Dali Ancient City

Store name: I'm waiting for you in Dali Ark Fat Man Kitchen

The store is steaming

The children who were crawling in the steel forest gathered in the warm yellow lights

to enjoy the taste buds brought by Cangshan Erhai for a moment.

The fresh fragrance spreads over the lips and tongue, hitting people's brains,

which is the most unmissable thing in Yunnan

summer - wild mushrooms.

mines and mountains, rivers and trees;

pure

air, abundant nutrients;

The Yunnan pine forest where these ingredients gather

gives birth to such a top delicacy as matsutake mushrooms.

A pot of soup base, with precise seasoning,

blending the umami of wild mushrooms

just

right, plus the boss's belief in independence,

this night will not be cold.

When I returned to my residence,

I was indeed happy and satisfied when I looked back on such a day.

From the summer scene during the day to the autumn fat at night,

from the green trees of Cangshan Mountain to the soft waves of Erhai Lake;

The whole day of running around seems so rich.

But

the novelty of travel still can't resist the fatigue of traveling.

The

innkeeper invited us to sit down, and

hot water poured into the bowl with the words.

A good cup of tea

allows us to still feel the human touch of Dali at night.

Talking about what he saw and heard today,

the

boss admitted that

our admiration is not really the

best admiration for Dali, but

to stay here and become a Dali person.

So his inn is called "I'm waiting for you in Dali".

Coordinates: No. 545, the lower section of Renmin Road, Dali Ancient City

Store name: I'm waiting for you in Dali Ark Muzhai Inn

tea fragrance drives away sleepiness, During the conversation with the boss,

he became more three-dimensional and full in front of us.

There are more than tens of thousands of

such carefully arranged and hard-working small shops

in Dali.

The

houses with bright windows,

the

quiet and classical atrium, and

the spacious and bright terrace ......

Such a homestay is in line with all our beautiful imaginations of home

, and the boss is not proud of exaggerating

and talking to us freely.

I think finding the right restaurant and the right homestay

is sometimes much more important than finding the right attraction for a trip.

The endless life of Dali

lies in such a group of people who stay here.

They are all children who retain their faith and

still choose to embrace their ideals in this mediocre era.

Those songs that have been heard suddenly have an explanation

In such a city,

walking on the people's road, who will not have a good mood.
