Live Your Best Lives
When the cool autumn came, I suddenly wanted to go to a mild city and start the beauty of early autumn. There is both the seclusion of the bustling city and the comfort of pastoral life, and the most suitable seems to be Dali.
bypass the lights and wine of the bustling city and enjoy the daily leisure of romantic Dali. For many people, Dali is like a utopia away from the troubles of the world, where they can always find the most desirable life.
But in fact, in Dali, in addition to the romance and snow, there is also a hint of leisure and lightness. In addition to going to Cangshan Erhai Lake, there are also many niche and low-key treasure destinations, which are also fascinating.
Eryuan West Lake with beautiful natural lake paintings
Although I have been to Dali no less than ten times, it is still the first time I know Eryuan West Lake. If you have time, it is recommended to come here early in the morning, and you can catch a sunrise and watch the sun slowly rise from the other side of the mountain little by little.
> Erhan West Lake, also known as Dali West Lake, is only more than 40 kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali. As soon as you step through the gate, you will be captivated by the view in front of you, and although summer has passed, it seems that the summer scenery is still there. 
>"There is a scenery of Jiangnan, and there are four mountains surrounded by greenery, and I feel that Xizi Lake is coming out of it." This is the exclamation that Xu Xiake once made when he was boating in Eryuan West Lake, which makes people want to find out. And when you see it with your own eyes, it cannot be described in words. 
In autumn, the lotus flowers in many places have withered, but here you can still see the lotus flowers hiding under the lotus leaves, as if they want to continue to keep this unrepeatable summer.
"One flower blooms in two seasons, monopolizing the summer and autumn light", perhaps only lotus flowers can be like this. Standing on the bridge, you can easily see Cangshan Mountain from afar, and the nearby West Lake and pavilions are also enough to have a panoramic view.
In addition, you can also take a wooden boat to walk on the lake, the water is particularly clear, and you can see small fish swimming at the bottom of the lake from time to time.
In Eryuan West Lake actually has six villages and one island, if you look at it from the perspective of aerial photography, you will find that this is a natural lake painting with a lake in the village and a village in the lake.
The most commendable thing is that there is no commercial atmosphere of Hangzhou West Lake in the downtown area. Although it has also been developed into a scenic area, the residents living in this area have always enjoyed the original rhythm of life without any influence.
Even the boat is actually a means of transportation for the local villagers' daily production and life. These scenery in front of us, which we regard as extravagant, have long been accustomed to the scenery in the eyes of the locals, and I have to say that living here is really too happy.
Forget to look around, at the other end of the lake are houses with blue tiles and white walls, high and low, quite the tenderness of Jiangnan water town.
The beautiful and quiet environment allows everyone who comes here to relax. The beauty of West Lake is more like a pot of freshly brewed jasmine tea, fresh and elegant, and evocative.
Perhaps in everyone's heart, there will be a feeling of water town. The hustle and bustle is a foil, just to enjoy that freedom and freedom.
Hongsheng Road directly leads to Erhai Lake
Before coming to Hongsheng Road, you may be like me, thinking that it is just an ordinary road. But when you stand on the side of the road and see the entire road stretching straight to Erhai Lake in the distance, you will be instantly shocked.
The highway is near Dali University, and it is easy to get there by bus or taxi. Fortunately, the weather is good, and you can directly see the road and Erhai Lake in the distance.
Find the highest point of the entire road first, there are relatively few vehicles, but you must also pay attention to safety during the photo process. A group photo with the highway can make a blockbuster in minutes, worthy of being known as the most beautiful highway in Dali.
If the device supports it, it is recommended to bring a telephoto lens, the visual effect is even more unexpected.
Come here to take photos, simple and solid colors are the most suitable. When no vehicles pass by, it's a good time to take pictures, no matter what style you take, this road can be navigated.
It is also necessary to think of a good photo pose in advance before taking a photo, of course, if you really don't think of a suitable one, you can pretend to walk around casually, You can also take beautiful photos by taking candid shots.
The first time I
knew that the ideal state was still playing with my mobile phone at home, I was immediately attracted by the architectural style here, and this time I came to Dali, of course, I will not miss it.
In fact, long before the opening, many people made a special trip to take photos and check in, and even some newlyweds would choose to come here to take wedding photos.
The first impression of the utopia is: mix-and-match, fantasy, alternative, full of sculpture, and all buildings are unique, Walking in it feels like it exudes a ubiquitous artistic atmosphere.
Ideal State Town is divided into three sections, including: the theme area of the love sea architectural style, the private customized inn area and the cliff hotel business area, which will be open to the public for free in late April this year.
The town is built on a mountain, so there are many steps, and the streets are lined with flowers, and even the air is filled with the sweetness of flowers.
Each building breaks the traditional architectural style, as if it grows naturally, revealing a kind of freedom and spontaneity everywhere.
It is said that the designers and owners of the ideal state finally built the ideal state after visiting dozens of traditional settlements in Europe through careful planning, design and construction.
The compact layout that follows the mountain can bring the magic effect of changing scenery.The wonderful combination of white and earth colors subtly creates a familiar sense of strangeness, which makes people can't help but feel the urge to explore.
The curved building with blue sky and white clouds is undoubtedly the best photo angle, the town is not very big, but it is beautiful and quiet.
Stop and walk along the way, look at the scenery, and take beautiful photos. In a trance, there is really a feeling of coming to Santorini.
Luwo Mountain, a mysterious wild spot
? Sometimes it's about taking beautiful photos, sometimes it's about tasting special food, and sometimes maybe it's just enjoying the scenery of the moment.
In Dali, there is such a place called Luwo Mountain, which may be unfamiliar to many people when they hear this name, but it is located on the west side of Huanhai East Road, which is well known to many people.
Coming to the top of Luwo Mountain, the view is super wide, overlooking Cangshan Erhai Lake, and the green plants on the mountain are also very eye-catching.
If you drive by yourself, you can go straight to Huanhai Road after getting off the highway, and then drive to Huan'er Road on the right, and you can reach this section of Huanhai East Road where you can see a lot of scenery.
The entire Luwoshan site is precisely located on the road from Shuanglang Town to Digging Town, and when you see a lot of cars stopping on the side of the road, that's almost it.
It is divided into the West District, the North District and the South District, and there are the most primitive caves in the South District, and many photos of the beautiful scenery of the cliffs are actually from here. Almost many people who take wedding photos will also choose this.
The window frame of the influencer is also the best photo spot, but when you come in the afternoon, you need to reserve time, and there are still many people queuing.
Put on a good-looking dress, just sit there, like an oil painting girl.
The combination of broken walls and window frames is particularly beautiful to take pictures on cloudy days and near dusk. Of course, the weather is different, and the overall feeling of the photo is also different.
Keep going and you'll be close to the sea. This place is relatively secluded, with several dense trees on the coast, and at the same time it is extremely quiet.
Walking on the beach platform, feeling the breeze blowing on the Buddha's face, it is very comfortable.
With the blue Erhai Lake in the distance and the verdant trees nearby, you can do nothing at this moment, but you can't forget to look at the scenery.
super healing Xizhou rice fields
The sky is blue, and the rice fields of Xizhou are full of pastoral freshness, and I can't help but want to feel the beauty of the moment with a wandering mood and record the scenery at this moment with my eyes.
The small Xizhou rice fields can allow so many tourists to come here to rest and take pictures, even if they are separated by several mountains and seas, they will not forget it, precisely because there is real life here.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, stroll through the rice fields, listen to the cicadas, and the faint fragrance of rice wafts in the wind from time to time.
You can also walk through the paths that crisscross the fields and walk into the depths of the rice fields, and you will really fall in love with this healing and hopeful place.
The yellow wall in the rice field is also super filmed, coming near 6 o'clock in the evening, the light is soft, super suitable for taking pictures.
Surrounded by the fast-paced life and work in the city, I naturally have a great desire to steal half a day's leisure.
In September, it was no longer hot, and it was not cold yet.The rice fields are gradually becoming golden, and here, the flow of time seems to be slowing down, and seeing the clouds and listening to the wind is the most important thing.
Walking on the ridges, there are scenery everywhere as far as the eye can see, and the fragrance of rice flowers wafting in the air from time to time is even more unforgettable.
Xizhou really has a kind of magic, at the end of the rice fields is the village of the Bai people, which is the most famous boutique inn in Xizhou "Xilinyuan", Many foreign tourists came to Xizhou for the sake of Xilinyuan.
Of course, what is even more tempting to me is that the rice fields, houses and interlaced fields in front of me have a natural and simple beauty.
romantic and literary petal sea view B&B
Dali is like a treasure pavilion, every once in a while there will be a "fairy-like" homestay, in the middle of Xizhou Ancient Town and Taoyuan Wharf, there is a beautiful garden homestay, the first time you see it, you will fall in love with it, you can enjoy the happiness of facing Erhai Lake.
Sea of petals, the name can roughly guess that there are many flowers planted here, it is a literary and romantic place. The location of the B&B is also great, with just the right height to overlook Erhai Lake.
Just in the courtyard outside the homestay, I believe it is surprising enough, the yard is full of flowers, nearly 40,000 white daisies, there should be no girl who will not be excited.
It is also very convenient to get here by car, and there is also an exclusive parking space. The staff of the homestay are basically the Bai aborigines in the village, and the service attitude is very good, and the feeling is also very comfortable.
Walking into the lobby of the homestay, the decoration style is more warm, everything is designed from a simple style, and the art decorations can be seen everywhere, although it is not gorgeous, But there will be a sense of home.
The public area of the B&B also provides a place to drink tea and chat, and under the warm yellow light, it can always give people the ultimate sense of security.
Walking into the room, it is large but not empty, and there are lush greenery outside the window, and you can breathe fresh air when you open the window. Warm tones paired with a comfortable bed can put people into a state of complete relaxation, and now they can sleep soundly.
Walking out of the garden of the homestay, it is a road around the sea, and there is a wetland by Erhai Lake, where you can stay by the lake when the sun sets and watch the sun set little by little, which is extremely beautiful.
