Live Your Best Lives
2020 seems to be much more special for everyone! Two-thirds of the time passed in a flash, but I didn't have time to drag my suitcase out and wander around.
Because of the epidemic, I can only stay at home obediently and wait for the arrival of spring flowers.
Occasionally flip through old photos, occasionally recall a few journeys, and tell interesting stories that have happened.
In late summer and early autumn, the domestic epidemic finally eased, and travelers finally had the opportunity to see the scenery around them.
Take Dali as an example, this place I have been to countless times, but none of them have been thoroughly walked, and none of them have been carefully recorded.
So, let's go, go to Dali !
Xizhou In the mountainous and scenic Yunnan , self-driving is undoubtedly the most perfect way to travel.
Self-driving can save you the hard work of carrying luggage and travel, and you don't have to worry about taking a certain means of transportation, and you can not be afraid of the heat and cold.
The most important thing is that you can stop and go, freely feel the leisure of the countryside and the comfort brought to you by the journey.
The wind in July, the rain in August...
While the sea of flowers at the foot of Cangshan Mountain has not yet withered, and while the green rice fields have not yet turned yellow...
Then let's go!
All the way west, drive to Dali !
Asun in July is warm and warm, and the breeze after the rain is no longer cold, but much warmer.
The mood of arriving at the destination for the first time always makes people feel tired.
It is said that there is a sea of flowers at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, which is easy to get intoxicated.
There are also cute little alpacas in the manor, and as long as you are willing to spend dozens of oceans, you can take intimate photos with them.
We want to see the sunrise, we want to see the sunset, we want to see every corner of the world.
It would be best if I could be with you, but if not, it wouldn't hurt to be alone.
It is also an important ability to do things alone, travel alone, and miss alone.
What's more, at this time, I am still accompanied by flowers all over the mountains~
care about a tree blooming, the fragrance of flowers fills the heart, and the beauty of the seasons.
It's not like a bright fragrance in the sun, it's more like a hazy quiet and light fragrance.
It doesn't look like the most beautiful paragraph, but it is the favorite time in life, immersed in the sun, moon and stars, flowing light and sparse shadows.
When I saw it, it reminded me of my time in New Zealand .
I fed them all afternoon, but they spat on me, and even the hungry little guy rubbed me a bite, but that didn't stop me from liking them.
And when it comes to the grass mud horses in the manor, it seems to be much more docile, cute, and good-looking.
Why don't you see it yourself, isn't it cute and lovely~
They seem to have been domesticated by their owners, and they are very obedient to cooperate with tourists who take pictures.
Pose in various poses, hug casually, touch casually, and cooperate with all your slow motion.
will even brush its own sense of existence~
Well, the sudden dozing below frightened the photographer, haha~
The flowers in the garden are blooming unscrupulously, like the scene of early spring.
More and more gorgeous red, more and more pink pink, more and more melancholic purple, brighter and brighter yellow, and more and more cheerful orange...
Obviously not spring, but there is a tone of the garden full of spring colors.
Without the noise of tourists, this is also a very quiet small manor!
Although it is not full of flowers, you can still feel the existence of beauty.
Especially this near-evening light makes everything around it extra gentle.
At any time in Dali , regardless of the season, you can always see couples taking wedding dresses.
At this time, I always want to say:
Dali Erhai Lake has not only beautiful scenery, but also love.
The blue sky, white clouds, endless fields, looming mountains, changing clouds, and the scenery of water and sky are like gliding in the air.
Standing on a high place, feeling the air thin.
I love the distant mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, surrounded by Cangshan and Erhai Lake, with colorful flowers nearby and endless ridges in the distance.
Thebreeze blows just right on the body, leisurely and comfortable.
The small yellow car on the side of the road is particularly conspicuous, and it is very effective with a single shot.
In Dali , you can often see the light of Jesus in Tyndall, especially by Erhai Lake, which is a sacred and quiet light.
When the sunlight shines through the clouds to the lake, beams of light fall down, as if Erhai Lake is draped in a beautiful wedding veil, giving beauty and hope, which can only be felt by being in it.
Where there is sunshine and flowers, I am willing to stay.
Beautiful places, there is always a reason to attract you.
I like the sunshine here, it can always shine warmly, without melancholy or sadness.
Are you as willing to stay here as I am, relying on such a good time, and don't want to leave?
The clouds in the sky are unpredictable, and the sun occasionally peeks out from the thick clouds.
Gradually, it finally transitioned from that gentle blue to the passionate gold.
I always feel that liking a place is like falling in love with someone, and sometimes it is just for a moment that can leave a mark on your heart.
I fell in love with this place that instantly captivated me.
have been to the ancient city of Dali so many times, think about it carefully, It seems that they all meet it with the night.
This time it was finally a little different,
that is, in the early morning, with a drizzling rain, I walked towards it.
And for the first time, I was so obsessed with it.
There are almost no tourists in the ancient city in the early morning, and there are only a few small shops on the street with their doors open.
You don't have to deliberately identify the direction, don't plan the route, wherever you go, go in and take a look if you like it.
Anyway, in this boxy city, will you still get lost?
Dali without blue skies and white clouds , only green bricks and white walls remain.
When you recall such a scene, do you still think of this place?
Anyway, I will, and my mind is full of green bricks and white walls.
Dali ,
it is quiet, not impetuous, not ostentatious, but has her own unique beauty.
Wander around the ancient city and you'll really see how big the world is.
Even in the early morning when there are no tourists, you can find the story in the corner.
For locals and travelers like me,
everyone lives in a variety of ways and has different life values.
Everyone warms themselves and others in the way they are good at, making this seemingly ordinary life extremely interesting.
Wishing cards can be seen everywhere~
Thecrisp sound of the bell is accompanied by a breeze, echoing in the ears.
In the early morning when no one was around, it sounded very good.
Of course, after seeing the ancient city in the early morning, you still need to enjoy the night scenery.
After all, the night here is really lively.
Every time I have to take a photo in front of the south gate of the ancient city, I won't appear this time~
The ancient city can always show its extraordinary charm and passion in the evening, following the mapping of lights, the rhythm of bars, and a dazzling array of shops.
Wuhua Tower,
you can see it by walking straight along the south gate, which is also one of the landmark buildings of the ancient city of Dali . In ancient times, it was a place for official gatherings and entertaining VIPs.
Severalburnings and reconstructions in history, through thousands of vicissitudes, the current Wuhua Building is a four-story building rebuilt in 1998, the lower floor is a pedestal, the upper three floors are the building, standing upstairs can overlook the scenery of the ancient city, there is no need to enter without a ticket.
Foreigner Street was formerly known as Huguo Road, and the whole street was basically a bar.
If you have nothing to do, you can find a small shop you like, listen to a night of music , think about it, it's not a waste of time~
>To be honest, I don't think the commercial ancient city of Dali , which is mentioned by many people, is commercial. After all, this should be what an ancient city should look like!
It deserves to be lively, noisy, and brightly lit.
of Xizhou , this is a city located in Dali In the northern part of Bai Autonomous Prefecture, there is a famous Bai cultural town with a history of more than 1,000 years.
It is also a typical commercial development town of the Bai people, with a long history of business, preserving complete Bai houses, and the hometown of the movie "Five Golden Flowers".
The above introductions are official statements.
For me, there is only one thing I must do every time I go to Xizhou , and that is to eat Xizhou Baba.
Hot, fragrant, and freshly out of the oven Xizhou Baba is my favorite. Many times it is only a short trip to Dali , and I will also go to Xizhou to buy a few to take away.
This is a special pasta made of wheat noodles, there are sweet and salty fillings, the sweet one is put with rose sugar, and the salty one is green onion, pepper and salt fresh meat, sweet, sweet, salty and salty, the taste is what I like.
Xizhou If you think about it carefully, it seems that every ancient town has a square street...
Maybe,
The Sifang Street of Xizhou Ancient Town is next to the Yan family compound, and you only need to see where there are the most people, the most food, and the boxy fence.
Xizhou is indeed a well-known ancient town, and there are many tourists, but the locals do not seem to make a living from the development of tourism. Everywhere you can see the locals retaining the complete breath of life.
The rapid development of the city has made people more fond of life in ancient towns, and may not need any ups and downs of a wonderful life, but it can be enough to accommodate all kinds of souls.
Do interesting things, live interesting lives, meet interesting people.....
Perhaps, it doesn't hurt to open a small shop.
Xizhou 
It's strange to say, more and more people like Xizhou , but every time they come here, they don't feel the hustle and bustle at all.
Feel free to walk on a section and you will fall in love with the specialness of this place.
Xizhou 
Xizhou Different people will see different scenery, for me, such a town, it is these weeds and ancient houses on the walls and roofs that give me the feeling of returning to nature, the fresh colors on the streets, the old houses of the market years, most of them are piled up with yellow mud, but they always give people a simple feeling of folk customs.
The old lady at the entrance of the alley, although she is old, is still working hard to live with her own hands, which is very touching.
The times are changing, so don't lose the original beauty!
I hope that such handicrafts can always be passed on to the people.
Xizhou 
Xizhou 
Xizhou milk fan popsicles, it is said that this is a benefit that can only be eaten in Xizhou ~
The ink-painted Bai houses, slowly pacing, walking through several alleys, with a strong Bai flavor, small love and small scenery in the small alley, Lao She's heart hangs on this place.
He wrote in "A Short Diary of a Trip to Yunnan": " Xizhou Town is a miracle. I can't think of any remote place in China that I have seen such a decent town...... Entering the town, it is like arriving in Cambridge , England , with living water flowing everywhere on the streets...... Less than a mile away is Erhai Lake. Less than five or six miles are high mountains. There is such a town and city between the mountains and rivers, it is really a paradise ! ”
Xizhou 
Xizhou is actually the first time I know that Xizhou has an Internet celebrity landmark, the rounded corner building in the old courtyard of the Dong family.
If you don't want to check in, just take a look and pass by, because there are so many people queuing up to take pictures.
(You picked up a bargain on the way back, dusk is approaching, and the tourists have returned~)
Xizhou 
Xizhou 
Xizhou I love Xizhou so much, and I have only experienced so many of its firsts at this time.
The first time I ate milk fan popsicles in Xizhou , the first time I met the rounded corner building in Xizhou , the first time I found a small shop to waste time.....
and the first time I walked through the rice fields outside Xilinyuan.
Xizhou 
Xizhou "Hey, is it a demon spirit, someone wants to climb over the wall...."
Xizhou Looking at the green in the eyes, the village in the rice field in front of me, although there is no bright sun , But the gentle breeze blows the fragrance of rice flowers, which is still refreshing.
Xizhou 
Xizhou Under the gray old tiles, an orange façade stretches out.
Standing in the rice fields, the clouds are light and the wind is light, time seems to be still, only the gentle murmur of the breeze in the ears, and a faint little emotion is spreading.
This is probably the small beauty in life~
I think that from now on, Xizhou is no longer just Xizhou Baba in my memory.
And the rice fields in July!
Xizhou Haidong , Haixi ,
Istill love the scenery of Dali Haixi the most.
And Haixi, who has been to Haixi countless times, has never calmed down and felt its field tunes with his heart.
The scenery in July and August is the most beautiful season in Haixi .
If your trip is not rushed, if you also like to feel a leisurely time.
There is really no need to follow the so-called Internet celebrity places on the Internet to check in, it is better to walk comfortably on the field trails~
There is no sunlight, and the gloomy weather is not uncomfortable.
Not hot, not stuffy, a breeze blowing is still a little cool.
The air exudes the fragrance of rice, and the eyes are full of green ears of rice.
I remember my first impression of Dali -
"Shangguan flowers, Xiaguan wind, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon"...
I admit that once upon a time I was poisoned by this sentence, I have always wanted to find a story of romance and snow, and the innocent love between Jinhua and A Peng is like a fairy tale imprinted in my mind.
And at this time, who cares about those unrealistic love stories.
I just want to sit quietly by the rice field and enjoy the good time that belongs to the moment, which is the most real existence.
Dali in the rainy season did not encounter sunny weather, but it was happy to be able to run freely in the rice fields~
This kind of place is probably what we call the quiet years~
Maybe it will feel boring and monotonous when you come to check in, but you will feel surprised when you come unintentionally.
was walking, the wind suddenly picked up.
Sure enough, the
scenery after the rain is the most charming, and the memories after the rain are also the most worthy of affection.
Speaking of Dali , there are also many covered bridges, but the covered bridge in Haixi is more well-known.
It's not so much a travel photography spot as it is more like a place where we live.
If you are a photographer, come here to capture the beautiful scenery; If you are a painter, bring your drawing board here to sketch; If you're a traveler, come here to complete part of your amazing journey.
But if you just feel like an ordinary little person, then come here to feel what life should be like~
As I walked, I turned to a path leading to the sea.
Both sides are full of high haystacks swaying in the wind, and from time to time you can encounter wildflowers and dogtail grass, and occasionally bump into waterfowl playing in the grass.
This may be what I like about Haixi
:leisurely and unrestrained.
Before coming to Dali , I thought about doing many things, as if I wanted to fulfill my wishes that I had been here before but had not fulfilled one by one.
But when I was really here, I only seemed to want to live the days of "looking at the sea, watching the clouds and blowing the wind in a daze".
The sky after the rain is always unpredictable, with rain and occasional light showing off.
I thought it would be nice if Icould leave a small piece of blue sky for me at this time.
However,
during the journey, you will always experience scorching heat and cold, spring, summer, autumn and winter, just as life must be filled with joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness to be considered complete.
So, why obsess over that small piece of blue sky?
At this time, the covered bridge is also clean and neat, under the gray and blue sky, the green sea of grass is very eye-catching.
And you see,
the wind is blowing.
Xiaobai said:
Her childhood was blue, and blue cloth floated under the blue sky, Behind the blue cloth are kind grandmothers, who are passing on the blue dream one stitch at a time.
I believe that as long as everyone who has been to Lanxu, they must have heard the story of Xiaobai's "blue childhood".
Xiaobai is actually not surnamed Bai, but he is proud to be a member of the Bai clan, so he calls himself Xiaobai. Her hometown is in Dali Zhoucheng, 25 kilometers north of the ancient city, which is known as the "hometown of Bai tie-dyeing".
Dali Tie-dye Station Xiaobai used to be a girl from Beipiao, but when she settled down in Beijing and returned to her hometown after pregnancy, she found that the blue color of her childhood in her memory was slowly disappearing. Young people have gone to the outside world, the older generation has left one after another, many flower tying techniques have long been lost, and the traditional ancient method of tie-dyeing is facing the dilemma of having no successors.
So, Xiaobai decided to return to her hometown, and she endured the pressure brought to her by the eyes of the people around her, visited the elderly in the village, and with their help, the ancient tie-dye was brought back to life.
She silently cleaned up the traditional Bai courtyard left by her grandfather in the village little by little as an entrepreneurial base, and named this courtyard "Lan Xu", which means to continue the ancient tie-dye blue.
After listening to her story, I resolutely decided to experience it with my own hands and prick my own blue sky and white clouds.
Lan Xu is hidden in the depths of the alley, and the search along the way has made me love this village very much.
Maybe it's because of its simplicity, maybe it's because of its original tones.
Bai Courtyard, the scenery of the courtyard is particularly popular.
Tie-dye cloth of various colors is dried in the courtyard, dancing lightly in the breeze, which is extremely beautiful.

Dali Tie-dye Station The structure of the double-storey courtyard house is flanked by exhibition halls, teaching areas and rest areas.
The yard is full of flowers and plants, with tables and chairs made by guests, and colorful dyed cloths..... Whether it is an old house or a decoration inside and outside the house, the color scheme is extremely beautiful.
Everywhere are old stories with traces of time.

Dali Tie-dye Station What exactly is tie-dyeing?
Xiaobai tells you: Tie-dye is a traditional hand-dyeing technique.
When dyeing, some parts of the fabric are tied up with needles and threads or other tools to prevent them from being colored, which is mainly divided into two steps, tying and dyeing, so it is called tie-dyeing. The process of ancient tie-dyeing is complex, and at least it needs to be designed, plate-making, printing, tie-flowering, soaking, desizing, dyeing, oxidation, stitch removal, rinsing, and drying before it can be finally formed. Before that, it is also necessary to collect the stems and leaves of the sand blue to make dyes. Plant the blue in spring, pick it in July and August, add the collected stems and leaves to soak in water, and then ask a special master to beat the indigo for a day, add rice wine and rice to the precipitated mud , let it ferment naturally for about a month, and the high-quality dye solution needs to be cared for longer to dye the blue that belongs to Xiaobai's childhood.

Dali Tie-dye Station Well, after all the introductions, it's finally time to do it yourself.
Thesteps of the blue continuation ancient tie-dye are all here↓↓↓
Tips:
1. Because to complete a tie-dye work, the simplest takes about 1 hour, and the complex one takes 3-4 hours, so please reserve time for babies.
2. Usually you need to make an appointment to come to Lanxu, you can book in advance online, but now because of the epidemic, there are not many tourists, and I also don't have an appointment, so I went to pick it up temporarily.
Dali Tie-dye Station Don't worry about being clumsy, because there is a teacher who will guide you throughout the process, and the patience is not too good, and the explanation is also very detailed.
Don't worry about your work not looking good, because this is your unique blue.
Dali Tie-dye Station The table is lined with natural dyes for making dyed cloth, and tie-dye is the most famous for blue and white, of which the blue is extracted from Banlan root.
In addition to the banqin, the dye extends to more than 30 kinds of plants, such as the green skin on the outside of the walnut can be dyed a stable coffee color, gardenia can be dyed a lively bright yellow, saffron can be dyed a bright crimson, sorrel can be dyed pink, turmeric can be dyed goose yellow, and purple stem orchid can be dyed yellowish-brown.

Dali tie-dye station finally chose to make a practical canvas bag~
Dali tie-dye station 
Dali Tie-dyeing Station originally planned to do only a few simple tie-dye methods, but you have a strong curiosity and want to try everything~~~
In the end, this ghost was created, hahahahahaha↓↓↓↓
Dali tie-dyeing station Only by experiencing it in person can you know, In fact, it is really not easy to make a complete tie-dye work.
The steps required are far more than tying and dyeing, but must be designed, plate-making, tied, soaked, depulped, dyed, oxidized, removed, rinsed, and dried before it can be finally formed.
Dali tie-dyeing station After soaking and desizing, it is dyed and oxidized 4 times.
Dali tie-dye station

Dali Tie-dyeing Station Stitch removal is really the most difficult process, especially for the material of canvas like mine, the stitch removal has to be removed stitch by stitch.
Forgive me for really not having much patience, if it weren't for the teacher's help, I would probably not be able to dismantle it until dark, hahaha~

Dali Tie-dye Station After repeated soap washing and patting, it will naturally air dry.
Seeing the "a touch of blue sky and white clouds" tied by his own hands in the wind, his mood also brightened~
Dali tie-dyeing station If you also come to Dali , you might as well give yourself a chance to slow down.
Come to Zhoucheng, the hometown of tie-dyeing, and feel the art of tie-dyeing that is deeply rooted in the lives of the Bai people.
Dali Tie-dye Station You can see Bai houses with cornices and corners everywhere in the village, and they are also intricately carved civil buildings.
The short street leaves a thick layer of history, and even the mottled walls seem to have their own stories.
The villagers chat and doze off leisurely.
This is the normal state of life~
Zhoucheng is the largest Bai village, which still preserves various traditional customs of the Bai people and is known as the "living fossil of Bai folklore".
"The stone road outside the door, and the running water in front of every door" is the characteristic of Zhoucheng.
There are two big green trees in the village, with lush branches and leaves like giant umbrellas.
There is an ancient opera stage in the small square under the tree, and the surrounding shops are lined up, which is said to have a long history of more than 120 years.
Lively farmers' market~
The stream flowing down Cangshan Mountain flows along the cobblestone corner into Erhai Lake.
The stone road as dense as a spider's web, the gurgling spring water turns and flows along the lane, simple and quiet.
It's another rainy day, but fortunately, we have a lovely 02, The good thing about traveling by road is that you are never afraid of any weather.
Driving my beloved car, it never says tired...
Coarse hair!
The destination is the end of Jiangwei Village, where there is said to be a small forest near Erhai Lake, which is particularly quiet.
You can take a walk, you can be in a daze, you can take pictures...
Anyway, everything is fine.
The car slowly followed the navigation, turning from the national highway to the countryside road, the road became narrower and narrower, and everything in front of me became closer and closer to life.
The old mother kept talking, worried that the car would not be able to drive in and out.
And kept asking me soul torture: "Are you sure there is really an attraction inside?" ”
…………
"I...... No! True! Decide! ......"
But the cars drove in, and they couldn't retreat, so they could only bite the bullet and go in.
Fortunately, this small Bai village by Erhai Lake is really endearing, and the scenery on the road alone is endless.
If it weren't for our unintentional intrusion, you wouldn't even see any tourists in such a small village.
Although it was just a drive, the simple Bai customs and daily life outside the window were all put into view.
It seems that every glance can be a surprise!
Before leaving, I stretched my head out to capture the picture.
The Bai grandmother in the camera stood on the side of the road to greet me, her wrinkled face full of smiles.
I can't help but smile, this kind of life is the most plain happiness~
Starting from Jiangwei , I originally planned to drive to Haishe Park, After all, I missed it 5 years ago because of time constraints.
Unexpectedly, Haishe closed construction in March last year!!
So he changed his route and drove along the Dali Highway.
Because of the mistake of the grove in Jiangwei Village and the closure of Haihe Park, we decided to go without a plan, and we drove wherever we went...
Huanhaixi Road is a beautiful viewing line, although there are no scenic spots along the way, it is better than many scenic spots, and each section has different new discoveries.
Sure enough, the morning is the most beautiful, the fog of the distant mountains has not yet dissipated, the gray clouds cover the dazzling light of the sun, and the air becomes thin.
I saw a sea of flowers along the way, anyway, Dali this season, there is a sea of flowers everywhere.
I simply stopped the car and planned to go for a walk again.
The clouds and mist in the distant mountains have not yet dissipated, and the flowers everywhere can bloom prosperously in the weather accompanied by light rain.
Who said Dali wouldn't be beautiful without blue skies and white clouds?
I don't know if there will be sunshine if I walk along this rainbow plank road~
The big white goose stealing the show on the grass~
In Yunnan this season, whether it is mountains, fields, roadsides or your own courtyard, there are hundreds of flowers everywhere to see.
Swaying and colorful, blooming one after another, blooming brilliantly and distorted.
Dali There are many places where you can take pictures of the sky realm, but unfortunately today's sun is not bright, so forget it about the sky realm, even if you don't shoot it.
It's better to climb the ladder, face the breeze, and imagine that you are really sitting on the other side of the clouds.
You don't have to stand on tiptoe, you can get closer to the sun~
In this melodious time, Do you want to make a quiet plant .....
?When the sun shines, wait for the so-called wind and snow.
Three inches of sunlight !
Sleep until the morning when the sun is shining, and I don't want to rush too much.
Sleep until you wake up naturally, and you will be in a house in the homestay all morning.
Guoshu is a great homestay, so I definitely recommend it to you.
It does not stand on the side of a lively and prosperous street, nor does it open the window to see the large glass house of Erhai Lake.
So what exactly do you like about it?
It's probably simple, quiet, and natural~
It's a kind of scene hidden in the world and closer to life.
A fruit tree of a large tree ~
coffee table, sofa, a few pots of plants, a few books...
likea place to live!
My eyes lit up and I saw Hallstatt, a town I loved so much.
The memory was instantly pulled back to the good times in Eastern Europe a year ago .
I really hope that the epidemic will pass quickly and people in every corner of the world can return to a normal and orderly life.
Make the sun warmer and smile brighter.
Breakfast in the B&B,
rice noodles, fried eggs, steamed buns, can fill your stomach.
There is a space on the second floor of the B&B where guests can rest and entertain~
I have to say,
sometimes don't have too much expectations for the destination, because if you expect less, there will be more surprises!
Before coming here, I never thought that I could spend my time so leisurely and so squandering.
There is no itinerary guide, no complicated traffic, no crowds, just stay quietly and spend time unscrupulously.
Take off your shoes and climb onto the roof.
On a rainless morning, only the whistling wind remains.
In a daze, I whirled a few words with my old mother, and let the breeze blow.
Look at the misty sky, look at the slanting shadow on the old house in the morning light.
As night approaches, lights are lit up in the small courtyard.
Good night, return at night.
Haiti in memory:
a table, a chair,
facing Erhai Lake, spring flowers bloom.
It's been 5 years,
time has flown by, and the story with Se'er in Haiti is full of sweet memories.
Returning to Haiti, the first impression of the double gallery is still here.
Although there is no standard blue sky and white clouds, Erhai Lake is still beautiful today.
For just 10 yuan, you can sit in a glass ball and take a set of standard photos in Dali.
There are actually quite a few people in this place, maybe in addition to taking pictures, we can also blow the wind, listen to the sound of the waves, and relax...
I think, Everyone's heart is full of stories~
There is no noise of people crowding, only the sound of the wind and the crisp chirping of birds can be heard, The quiet afternoon makes this place particularly beautiful.
Thequiet alleys twist and turn into the depths, and the shores of Erhai Lake are full of old buildings.
Don't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing the nappers.
There are many small plants on the wall, as well as my favorite flesh, chubby leaves, which are very cute.
It is speculated that these small potted plants were carefully cultivated by the owners of nearby inns.
Life is like this, chaotic, if you prune it at the right time, you will be able to bloom.
Wild peppercorns on the side of the road~
There is no blue sky and white clouds in the sky, so don't shoot~
That year,
I walked through the narrow alleys, often got lost, and fell deep into the old village.
Looking at the white walls and green tiles, the mottled doors and windows in the sun, the exquisitely carved eaves, and the hollow and exquisite cloister.
At this moment,
fate actually brought me to the alley I walked 5 years ago, and I didn't have to let my thoughts imagine it, because the beautiful memories came to my heart in an instant.
Such an ancient village often carries a sense of mystery, and I will wonder how much she has experienced. How many stories do they carry?
But it seems that I met you before I had time to figure it out, and finally came, with an uneasy and impetuous heart....
Shuanglang,
it is said that there are too many shadows of literature and art here, it is said that all the sunshine is gathered here, and it is said that there are countless youth hostels here. It is said that this is a desirable small fishing village....
People have given her too many beautiful words.
Although the years have passed, personnel have changed, and only this brick and tile is still stationed here.
Although the walls and tiles are defective, they have a taste of time, giving me infinite reverie, compared with the bustling city, this place is more like a place forgotten by time, without the lights of the streets, and some seem to be just endless stone paths.
Whether you like it or not.
I just have to admit that there is indeed a real calmness here, a beauty that is free from the world.
the trip, there is no need to be too demanding on the commercialization and overcrowding of a place, most of the time, avoid crowds, Only by walking into the remote and winding alleys can you see the best scenery.
Accompanied by sunshine and flowers, accompanied by breeze and white clouds.
Pick up another indifferent mood, this may be the quiet years~
Dali Muxi is the surprise I accidentally picked up.
Lunch near Erhai Lake is really comfortable.
A tree blooms.
Squinting under the tree for a nap, as if one would fall asleep if they were not careful.
When I opened my eyes, I saw another summer appearing in front of me, full of flowers.
Walking, walking, the flowers bloom again.
Therefore, travel can always be full of surprises.
Maybe at this time, you are on the road of laughter, loneliness, happiness, sadness...
However, as long as you are on the road, you are the most beautiful, and the radiant years will eventually bloom.
Although this place is being broken into by more and more travelers, sometimes I wonder if this is good or bad....
Everyone who is new to this place will have a different feeling, and those roofs full of flowers and plants, corners with traces of time, fresh shops everywhere and stone roads that have been stepped on seem to be beautiful.
If you can sit down and don't want to leave, if you can stay here for a day, stupidly relax, look at the sea and listen to the wind.
It seems that any appearance here is charming, and it seems that he and everything have disappeared, leaving only the light sky is the most real.
Surrounded by Cangshan Erhai Lake, accompanied by the sound of waves, in the fragrance of flowers.
If you spend an afternoon nestled in a comfortable sofa.
Or, bring a small book and find a quiet corner by the sea to waste time leisurely.
Or, come to a bottle of romance and snow, even if it is relatively silent, it is enough.
I really want to go back to that warm afternoon,
sitting by Erhai Lake and wasting time, occasionally through a glimmer of sunlight, hitting my face so hard that I can't open my eyes, and the shadow quietly hides aside In an instant, the mottled light and shadow left the self I wanted to see the most.
Shuanglang has Luodian Qu in the north, Lotus Qu in the south, and Jinshuo and Yuji Islands in front of it are surrounded by hyperbolism, hence the name.
The town is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side.
Looking west at the nineteen peaks of Cangshan, the gate is close to the blue waves of Erhai Lake, east of the "Buddhist resort" Jizu Mountain, south of the "Penglai Immortal Island" Xiaoputuo, so it has the reputation of "the first town of Cang'er scenery".
It is said that the historical Shuanglang was just a small fishing village by Erhai Lake, relying on Erhai Lake for a living.
Many houses are built on the edge of Erhai Lake, and when you open the window, you will see Erhai Lake, and people's daily lives are closely related to Erhai Lake.
But with the continuous development and the gradual growth of tourists, it has slowly become what it is now.
I remember when I first saw it, it seemed to be a small world that I had discovered, and it was beautiful in my eyes.
There is less disturbance from tourists, and there is a rare tranquility.
Thescattered houses are surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the sun shines on every corner of the town, and people chat, laugh, walk...
Lazyly raising Erlang's legs, bathing in the sun.
Perhaps, we should have found a quiet place like this and spent the afternoon in luxury.
Listening to the drunken jazz, tasting a cup of golden Pu-erh raw tea....
Wait until dark before leaving, this is life~
I want to open a small shop like this, even if it means spending the rest of my life here.
I don't remember when such an idea began to germinate until it became ingrained.
I like to express my enthusiasm for life in the simplest way, and don't let complex thoughts ruin the sweetness of life.
Life is not too long, I don't want to do too much, I don't want to work too hard, I don't want to live too unintentionally, I really only have such a little prospect.
Let yourself have a glass room:
The large floor-to-ceiling windows are slanted by the sun, and you can just see the furnishings in the house from outside the house, and the beautiful figure leaning against the gauze curtain. The outside of the store is full of flowers, all kinds of books are displayed in the store, and every corner is full of my intentions, maybe this is a flower shop, or maybe this is a bookstore. You can make coffee, make desserts, talk about styles, reminisce about time, and sit for an afternoon of leisure. Eat a romantic light meal, read a favorite book, the fragrance of flowers fills the whole house, and the cat sits at your feet and sleeps soundly...
The best state of life should be like this!
Although it was noon, the rainy weather made the light particularly soft, and I never expected that there would be such a quiet side in this place that was gradually shrouded in a commercial atmosphere.
Perhaps, she was like this, as long as it was not occupied by more tourists.
You can also take a boat to Nanzhao Style Island, one of the three islands of Erhai Lake, in Shuanglang.
The island is beautiful, the sea and the sky are the same, there are Guanyin statues, some sculptures, a Nanzhao palace, and some beautiful legends.
There are cruise ships that take tourists to the island, and those who are interested can go there.
Leave the ancient town and go in the direction of digging, there is an excellent location to see the ancient town of Shuanglang at the top of Huanhai East Road.
At just one glance, I fell in love.
Morning and evening, all kinds of things.
We walk every day, and the scenery along the way retreats one by one, but it also comes towards us one by one.
Different scenery gives us different feelings, different feelings give us different moods, and different moods are also destined to us to live a different life.
It is said that life is like a journey, beautiful scenery is everywhere, and the most beautiful thing is the mood when you look at the scenery.
I like such a colorful Dali, and more of it is the unique style of the houses here.
I always feel that the beauty of the Bai people is condensed in this simple building with green bricks and white walls, and the gorgeous murals must be a touch of enthusiasm after simplicity and purity, and an indisputable leisure work.
?
Themost beautiful scenery in Dali is on the road.....
Theeyes and heart are greedy for the small scenery along the way, just listening to the song, just looking out the window, in a daze, thinking about nothing.
The first glance faces Erhai Lake, well, it's very comfortable~~
The reeds on the side of the road are good, and the lake is calm and shining.
There is also a halo that suddenly appears in the sky, and the silence of the entire Erhai Lake is in that moment.
Such a section of road is very good as long as you walk, why bother to look for any romance, stop-and-go is also a kind of happiness~
If you are also in the double corridor,
if you also pass by here, will you remember me?
The most endearing thing about Xiao Putuo is probably the flocks of red-billed gulls here~
The last time I came here was in winter, and I vaguely remember that I was following behind that group of little guys. Chasing feeding scenes:
Thewind on the shore of Erhai Lake is quite strong in winter, and if you accidentally don't stand still, you will look weak. With the sound of the whistling wind, the sound of the waves, and the chirping of seagulls, the originally calm lake surface suddenly became extremely lively, and the rows of fishing boats not far away took advantage of the wind and waves, and they had already swayed so much that they didn't know.
But what I saw in front of me was a hippie red-mouthed little guy, who was so cute.
At this time,
only the drizzle and the smoky distant mountains remained.
If you want to see red-billed gulls, just wait for winter to come~
On rainy days, look at the sea in a different mood.
In this world, the only thing that truly belongs to you is probably time.
Only you can decide what kind of mood and appearance you want to participate in, and any other characters, scenery and events are foils.
Although there is no clear sky, the scenery along the way is also rich, and every section of Erhai Lake can be completely different.
Occasionally I met a small Bai village, occasionally looked at the unpredictable clouds in the distant mountains, and occasionally poured rain outside the window.
A scene after a scene, the record under my lens is far from enough to interpret her beauty.
Dali brought me more unexpected tranquility, people's lives are very slow, and I unconsciously brought me into their atmosphere.
I didn't even have time to take a good look at the unfamiliar faces passing by, I just wanted to be peacefully undisturbed, and the time at this moment was like slow motion on film.
The years are quiet and the sun is still good.
When a warm light gently shone on my face, I looked sideways...
I saw a whole drunken sky.
Erhai Lake on a rainy day seems more intriguing than on a sunny day.
Thehumid and fresh air is full of water molecules in the whole world, so it is not necessary for blue skies and white clouds to show its beauty.
Thegloomy rainy days and misty skies add to this mystery.
The summer in Dali will not be unbearable and hot, but more cool.
Arrive at the Longyue Inn, where you can see the sea by pushing the door.
Although it is not as luxurious as a big hotel, it is a small world that surprises people everywhere.
The travelers at the inn have gone out to play and have not yet returned, and this small building seems extremely quiet.
I sat on the roof and passed the time leisurely.
Facing Erhai Lake, no one comes to disturb me.
Some people say:
Yunnan, the Creator seems to be particularly fond of this place, giving her all the most primitive and purest beauty, Every flower and plant here has their most charming posture.
And I said:
Yunnan has always existed like a fantasy, with too many scenery, too much tenderness, too much romance, too much love, too many stories.
Finally, I waited until dusk was approaching and returned to the inn to sit down and rest.
Thesunset blockbuster may not be able to be staged today, so we walked to the excellent location opposite the inn and took a walk.
At this moment, the breeze is blowing, there is a hint of coolness, I put on a coat, tied a scarf, and feel the power of nature, there is no more comfortable time than now.
Facing Erhai Lake, waiting for a ray of sunshine and waiting for the next spring flowers to bloom.
Often on the way to and from, I can't help but start smirking when I look out the window, and sometimes I will be in a daze for a while, imagining the picture of the place I will go to, or the scenery I just met.
Although we can't catch the sunlight outside the window, nor can we take the beautiful scenery on the way, this is enough for us to cherish for a lifetime, just like a small farmland and a small village outside the car window, which are all beauty that cannot be replicated, and some beauty is destined to remain in the bottom of our hearts.
We are too small, so small that as a speck of dust, it can dissipate in an instant, so why be too obsessed.
Where you can't go, I'll help you bring the story back.
In some places, one encounter is enough, such a memory, such a profound life, living a slow life, just a photo, you can find a kind of home.
first impression of the Luwoshan site is the small window in this ruin.
I thought there would be a lot of people who came to take pictures, but I didn't expect to pick up a bargain and there was no one there.
Give me a little more time to capture the images I want most.
I like the faint sunlight shining through the leaves, falling on my body, and I feel like I will glow.
Many people don't know where Luwo Mountain is, here is a popular science:
It is probably at the location of the small powder car in the picture below, along the path to the bottom of the mountain.
If you feel tired from walking, find a warm place to sit down and quietly feel the beauty that nature has given us.
Even for a minute, use your calmness to see the world.
At this moment, you just need to be a bystander and don't be too obsessed with hollowing out your mind to find a way.
I firmly believe that what you want, as long as you work hard when time permits, you will get it, but if you miss it, it must be painful to turn back, maybe you shouldn't turn back at all, the charm of life often lies in her one-time, and you don't have to look back if you miss it.
If you want to live a different life, you must let go of obsession.
Photos come from life, and you only need one self to interpret different true stories.
With the clearest eyes, go to see the most beautiful scenery in the world, and with the purest heart, to feel the touch brought to you by every story.
The vines of the trees hang on another tree, hanging down, and the mottled light and shadow are really beautiful.
Erhai Lake is very quiet at this time, the breeze is very light, and the sound of waves crashing on the reef is almost inaudible.
The sea seems to overflow the sky, and the sea and sky are the same.
Such a scene makes people feel romantic.
Are you also looking forward to something?
To be honest, there is really no way to present a very awesome and shocking visual effect for the photos I take, they are just ordinary photos with the shutter press like you.
I never thought that I would have been here to visit, but I had to be inextricably linked to this strange city.
Just follow my temperament and feel the happiness that the journey brings me.
As for the plaque and stone monument at the gate of XX scenic spot, I really don't have that cold.
I have had those days of running non-stop to catch attractions on the way, and who can understand the embarrassment of not even getting off the plane and not having time to change clothes?
But is such a journey really happy?
If not, then slow down and find a place to sit, even if it's just a reef.
At this time, ask your photographer to press the shutter for you, even if you only know scissorhands, it really doesn't matter if the pose is good or bad, as long as you look back at this photo many years later, you can once again remember the free-spirited soul and bohemian self at that moment! !
The Auditorium of the Sea, this is actually not a scenic spot, nor can it be called an Internet celebrity check-in point, it is just a venue for filming.
The most seen here, in addition to photographers, are lovers who take wedding photos.
So, I define it as: wedding photography base.
If you don't like to take pictures, it is recommended that you don't even think about it; But if you love to take pictures, think carefully.
After all, the per capita ticket of 100 is really a bit of a pit!!
It's coming, no matter what, you have to take enough pictures~~~
The scene on the roof is indeed quite intoxicating, no wonder the photos you take are so fascinating.
There is a kind of blue called "Erhai Blue", which seems to be silly and cannot tell whether it is the sky or the sea.
Just watch, empty, and empty.
Before leaving, I took another look at Erhai Lake and took this photo of the sunny day.
I've seen Erhai Lake on a rainy day and Erhai Lake on a sunny day.
But I seem to be used to the rhythm of rainy days, so don't regret catching up with a cloudy day.
The cloudy Erhai Lake made me feel her passion, let me know what kind of power the waves have on the reef, and the mystery that only cloudy days have made her seem even more elusive.
I have always felt that when looking at the scenery, mysterious things can move people the most.

Dali to Kunming More than 300 kilometers, about 4 hours by car, or you can choose 1 and a half hours of high-speed rail.
1. It is recommended to travel by car, after all, there are so many scenery to see on the road. If you don't want to travel by car, it is recommended to go from Kunming high-speed rail, or fly directly to Dali across the country, and then rent a car to visit Dali .
