Mr. Shen Congwen's essay "Looking at the Clouds" published in Hong Kong's Ta Kung Pao in December 1940 is really interesting in its description of the clouds in Yunnan, which evokes my longing for the south of Caiyun.

In ordinary days, you need a little bit of courage to go, and drive a new digital golf to Yunnan and western Yunnan, where there is a story!

Dali - Meimei is named, wind and snow

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture

"Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flower, Xiaguan wind blows Shangguan flower;

Cangshan snow, Erhai moon, Erhai moon shines on Cangshan snow. ”

——Cao Jinghua

Even if you have never been to Dali, as long as you hear the romantic word "wind and snow", you will definitely think of Dali, or more simply and directly because of marble (marble is also called marble, English: Marble originally refers to white limestone with black patterns produced in Dali, Yunnan Province), or because of Duan Yu and Zhao Ling'er......

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture

In fact, these are not so important, because we all know that Dali is a place favored by the Creator, and the mountain here is called Cangshan, The lake is called the sea.

In Dali, there is a spring scenery that has never left, and there is also a spring light that has not been disappointed.

In Dali, everything as far as the eye can see is the scenery.

Xizhou, sincere joy, beauty is indescribable

"Travel is not only about sightseeing, It is more necessary to have a deep understanding of local customs", Xizhou is such a place.

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture

Xizhou is the most beautiful Bai village and town around Erhai Lake, and it is also one of the birthplaces of Dali culture, where nearly 100 Bai houses in the Ming, Qing and Republic of China have been preserved so far, which is not only a "paradise" for ancient building lovers, but also the "hometown of Bai tie-dyeing", the largest village of the Bai ethnic group in China, the largest ethnic natural village in Yunnan, and the location of Zhoucheng Village.

The tie-dyeing raw materials of the Bai people are pure cotton white cloth or cotton and linen blended white cloth, and the dyes are natural plants such as smartweed blue, banlan root, and mugwort grown in Cangshan. After design, drafting, seamping, dipping, thread removal, rinsing, rectification and other processes, the production is complicated.

Bai tie-dyeing skills were selected into the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists in our country in 2006.

Tengchong, a place on the edge of the extreme, is full of beauty in all seasons

Drive 300 kilometers southwest from Dali, it takes about 5 hours to reach Tengchong, where there is not only beautiful scenery but also an unforgettable history. The importance of "Tengshang" to culture and the contribution of every Tengchong person during the War of Resistance are admirable.

Tengchong In

Tengchong, you can see all the seasons, with cherry blossoms, hot springs, volcanoes, ginkgo, and a dreamlike sea of clouds.

Tengchong

Longjiang Bridge is a control project of the Baoshan-Tengchong Expressway, spanning the Longchuan River Valley, with a total length of 2470.58 meters, is the largest expressway suspension bridge in Asia, and is also the first extra-large span steel box stiffener suspension bridge in Yunnan Province, and this "air bridge" has applied a number of domestic pioneering technologies during the construction process, obtained more than 20 patents, and was selected for the CCTV documentary "Super Project". Shuttle through the Longjiang Date Bridge, as if walking in the clouds beyond a thousand mountains.

Tengchong

It is December, Ginkgo Village, Ye Zhenghuang.

Tengchong

Jiangdong Ginkgo Village is located in Gudong Town, Tengchong, and is known as Ginkgo Village because of the more than 1,000 acres of ancient ginkgo trees distributed in the village.

The village is in the forest, and the tree houses are guarded by each other, quiet and far-reaching.

Tengchong

Heshun - harmonious and different, beautiful and beautiful

Tengchong

Visiting the ancient town is also one of the purposes of our trip.

Heshun is located in the southwest of Tengchong, is a famous overseas Chinese hometown in Yunnan, and the entire ancient town is built along the mountain, undulating, staggered and orderly.

I never thought that on the border of the motherland, I could see the architectural masterpieces built in the late Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, which are a combination of Chinese and Western, highlighting the beauty of integration and creation.

Tengchong When

we are careless, we always think that the ideal life should be elsewhere. In fact, whether life is good or not depends only on what kind of daily life is. And a better daily life is what life should be.

Tengchong

"Slow taste the fireworks in the world, and watch the long years in the world."

The taste of the world is actually fireworks.It is a bowl of bean noodles in Tengchong, and it is a ...... of rice cakes baked on the stove

Tengchong

The years are quiet, and squatting at the door and smoking a hand-rolled cigarette is the most comfortable.

The trees, the mountains, the earth, and the years are there, and every day in Heshun seems ordinary and poetic.

"Hello Public"

- a constant thought, beauty is long-lasting

This trip to Yunnan was completed by driving Volkswagen's new digital golf since the plane arrived in Dali.

"The mountain doesn't come to me, I go to it" We went all the way west, from Cangshan to Gaoligong Mountain.

The Golf is a classic model of Volkswagen, born in 1974, and has always been one of Volkswagen's best-selling cars. The Golf 8 continues the classics, but also has many innovations, such as the HMI design of CNS 3.0 for the first time in Volkswagen models, and the new digital operation also brings a new driving experience to this journey.

Although it is a high-speed, the speed limit is often 40 or 50km/h, but fortunately, the front view camera comes with the car, the whole vehicle is networked, combined with navigation and vehicle data to identify road traffic signs, and the detected effective signs are displayed in the instrument. If the current speed exceeds the speed limit shown on the sign, the system will send out an audible and visual warning, which is the most intimate partner on this trip, accompanying me to give me tips on unfamiliar roads and reach the destination safely.

Although Yunnan is like spring in all seasons, the winter in western Yunnan can have a huge temperature difference between day and night, especially after the wind blows in Dali Xiaguan at night, I want to hide in the car as soon as possible, and search for a car with one click through the mobile APP, the system can always automatically plan the best car search route, so that I am less exposed to some cold wind~ Enter the car, change the warm-looking ambient light, and your favorite interface, the cabin immediately transforms into a "warm cabin", turn on the seat heating, warm up the whole body, and the car becomes a refuge in the cold night.

Because of Volkswagen's new digital golf, this self-driving trip in western Yunnan is to drive freely, calmly, relaxed, and comfortable. I enjoyed the mountain roads of Yunnan, felt the driving fun of high-tech and digital cars, and also perceived the unique humanistic charm of Yunnan.

Driving under the sunshine of Yunnan, the shoulders and heart feel burning, life is reborn from fatigue, reshaping daily life, starting with all-digital golf.
