Take a taxi from Dali Ancient City to Caicun Wharf

and

enter the path near Caicun Wharf

, but fortunately I held back" Stinky and stinky"

Welcomed by the flies and insects, we continued to move forward without hesitation

and

came to a place that went deep into the middle of the sea like a tongue

along the way

, sighing that some of these were still under construction and were forced to stop

and the

concave shape in the picture above (it was also a 270-degree sea view house before)

I really hope that after treatment, the water of Erhai Lake can return to its former clarity

, and we must also take care of it more

Take the double-decker bus around the sea

mainly to visit the eastern route of Erhai Lake

The

anticipation and surprise with the renovation of Erhai Lake

because of

the extensive renovation of Erhai Lake

walking for 2 hours, we finally arrived at Haihe Park

sea tongue in the morning is "deserted" The

mosquitoes buzzing in the ears

give goosebumps

Along the clockwise direction

water at the end of the sea tongue is crystal clear

These conches show more charming colors

under the dazzling light

I met a big banyan tree in the water

and

had a lot of fun

Chasing the winter sunrise: Long Kan Pier S-shaped coastal road

I have to say that the S-shaped highway of Longkan Wharf and the Internet celebrity S-shaped highway of Panxi Village are too similar, so I can't tell the difference, I went to Longkan in the morning, and I went to Panxi Village at noon , but in common, there are many tourists.

I still remember that the train came to Dali early in May 2017, all the way with the sunrise, that sunrise was really beautiful, and finally felt that on the south gate of the ancient city of Dali , I also harvested the rainbow after the rain, and I went to see the sunrise in the next few days, and I didn't see such a stunning one.

The

morning in Dali in winter is very cold, but many photography teams take wedding photos here, not afraid of the wind on the beach, and are happy to interact with the seagulls.

The most satisfying thing is this light of Jesus, with the mountain scenery on the other side looming.

If you want to watch the sunrise, staying in a sea view room by the sea is also a good choice.

Dali has Internet celebrity homestays, and there are many Internet celebrity attractions, but I don't like to chase this kind of "Internet celebrity" check-in point, come to Longkan Wharf, initially just because this is a good place to watch the sunrise, the sunrise in winter is about 8 o'clock, but I didn't see the sunrise as imagined, I went to the beach for two days in a row, I didn't catch up with the weather is very sunny, the thick clouds are blocking the sunrise is about to rise, refusing to disperse, although I didn't harvest the expected sunrise, but there are still fewer tourists in the early morning, In the counterclockwise direction of my Longkan Ancient Town, I enjoyed the scenery along the wooden plank road, and the ever-changing scenery did not affect the play at all because of winter. Ponds, wetlands, metasequoias, landscapes created according to local conditions will make you feel refreshed.

Along the ancient crossing of the dragon kan, you can always think about going south or thinking about going north, I suggest that you want to go north, follow the light, and in the evening you can go north, the light is softer, in the village, Battery cars in the area of Sansheng Island and Longkan Wharf cannot be driven in, but human-powered bicycles are allowed.

As long as you pass the ancient crossing of Longkan, there are fewer and fewer people walking on both sides, most of the people you see are health or work staff, and I have to say that the effectiveness of Erhai Lake management is remarkable, and the management is very strict. Drones are not allowed on the highway of Huanhai West Road. It can only be placed in villages off the road.

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

I found a restaurant near Erhaimen that eats local specialty mushroom soup pots, the taste is quite authentic, and you can also sit on the balcony on the second floor. While watching the people coming and going on the streets of the ancient city, enjoy the delicious food.

The

mushrooms at the bottom of the wild mushroom pot

Yunnan are very particular, there are dozens of kinds of mushrooms alone, the previously well-known matsutake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, porcini mushrooms, morels, chicken fir mushrooms, in addition to the fat yellow porcini mushrooms, peach blossom mushrooms, black truffles, scaly tiger palm mushrooms, as well as green head mushrooms, yellow umbrellas, the nutritional value of the mushroom soup is very high, I ordered a running pheasant pot to replenish energy for my tired journey.

Wild mushroom stir-fry: fragrant tiger palm mushroom

There are many ways to cook mushrooms, in addition to boiling soup and eating mushroom pot, you can also stir-fry, fragrant tiger palm mushrooms, sautéed flavor, It makes the mushrooms taste very fragrant, and there are shredded pork and chili peppers in it, which is a special dish that goes well with rice.

Specialty Desserts

For dessert, I ordered a pint of wind flower snow liquid, taken from the homonym of "wind and snow moon", this is the first time I have tasted such a dessert, I specially asked the clerk what is in it, this is actually made of various fruits, and you can also see the red fruit grains, the taste is more like white fungus and pear soup.

Specialty Flower Wine

Guests who come to eat can taste its flower wine for free, in addition to the green plum, peach blossom, osmanthus that they usually drink, This time I also tasted nearly ten flavors such as purple rice, rose, and lychee, and my favorite is the osmanthus flavor.

Delicious home-cooked meals:

Mushroom juice eggplant, this dish must be eaten while hot, the eggplant strips are fried, and then poured with juice, if not to say that it is mushroom juice, but it makes me feel very similar to Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, soft and glutinous and fragrant, come to Yunnan You will find that many local dishes have the element of mushrooms, permeating various dishes, you can imagine how much the locals like to eat all kinds of mushrooms, so that they have developed so many delicious dishes.

Eat it with meat and vegetables

If you like to eat meat, you can try its yellow beef, hand-cut yellow beef, the meat is very thick, the meat is very firm, in order to ensure the taste of the soup, finally put in the meat, with some vegetables, I choose the bean tip, but also a local specialty vegetable, very tender, faint fragrant taste.

More than 10 kinds of wild mushrooms to choose

from This pot of mushroom soup is made with local chicken and pork bones, which is rich in nutrients and adds various mushrooms with local characteristics I

chose porcini mushrooms, bamboo shoots, morels, or order a wild mushroom platter, with porcini mushrooms, bamboo shoots, yellow umbrellas, red milk boletus, yam, there are two types of small pots and large pots, my full pot can be enough for 2-4 people to eat, if there are not many people, order 1-2 kinds of mushrooms, the same as shabu-shabu, you must drink the soup before shabu-shabu , with the addition of Yunnan safflower soup, the nutrition is more upgraded, and the taste is also one word "fresh"!

Walk through the ancient city of Dali: from Erhai Gate to South Gate

Erhai Gate enters the ancient city all the way to the foreign street, all the way uphill, from evening to evening there are the most people, whether it is a moody bar or a tasteful restaurant, every place in Dali needs to slow down to appreciate its beauty

Among the many city gates in Dali , I think the south gate is the most flavorful, and fortunately when the south gate was opened before, I was lucky enough to climb up. Walking on the city gate, overlooking Erhai Lake, looking up at Cangshan, and encountering the beautiful scenery of the rainbow after the rain.

I didn't bring a camera that time, so I took it casually, but I haven't encountered this beautiful scenery again, probably because it is dry in winter and there is little precipitation, and I will try my luck next time in May and June.

In January, I came to Dali again, compared with November and December, there were fewer people in the ancient city of Dali , and I caught up with the cold air in Yunnan , which should have had an average temperature of more than 10 degrees, but in the past two days of rainy weather, the highest temperature was only 4 degrees, and the next day in Dali , I caught up with the sleet in Dali , and scattered light snow fell on my clothes. You can see obvious particles, but you can't see them when they fall to the ground.

Many people complain that Dali is not good, but except for the first time I came to Dali with a group when I was a child, I caught up with the pouring rain, and I took a cruise ship on Erhai Lake, and I felt that the impression of Dali was rainy and cloudy, and the second time I came to Dali was 3 years ago, when Dali was in Dali Erhai Lake is beginning to be comprehensively governed, many places, including Shuanglang Ancient Town, have been dug up to look at directly, in 2019 came to Dali again, has begun to bear fruit, last month to Dali , hiking the newly repaired Erhai wooden plank road, let me see the beauty of Dali , the former Dali is back, is a suitable world for sojourning Taoyuan , so I think I will live in Dali this year and explore more of the beauty of Dali .

Yu'er Garden with a hundred flowers

It was the first time that I came to Yu'er Garden in the evening, taking advantage of a little sunshine to visit the garden in Dali , and it was also the first time that there were all kinds of flowers and flowers in the garden, such as camellias, chrysanthemums, peonies, as well as towering ancient banyan trees, rockeries and smart little squirrels.

This covered bridge also has reflections in the water, especially like the Jiangnan garden, and there are little lions of different shapes on the stone bridge , making the bleak winter full of life.

The

pilgrimage place of the students: the Temple of Literature

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there were as many as 16 Confucian temples in the Dali area, and there were Dali Confucian Temples, Fengyi Confucian Temples, Taihe Confucian Temples, Xiaguan Confucian Temples, and Digging Confucian Temples in Dali City. For a long time, traditional Chinese culture with the Dali Confucian Temple as the carrier has had a significant and far-reaching impact on Dali society with its unique and rich connotation.

The architectural shape of the Dali Confucian Temple has high artistic value, reflects the Dali palace-style architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty , has the characteristics of Dali Bai architectural art, is a model of our country's frontier culture and the Central Plains culture that is both in the same vein and blends with each other, and is a unique and precious historical and cultural relic. The restoration and reconstruction of the Confucian Temple is an important measure to protect and enhance the cultural connotation of the ancient city of Dali and promote the prosperity and development of the city's cultural undertakings, especially today when building a beautiful and happy new Dali .

Centennial Courtyard Restaurant: Perfect

Because I came at noon, even at noon in Dali , the sun was still very dazzling, at first I chose a seat in the courtyard, when the mushroom pot came up, enthusiastic, and dazzling, so I asked the waiter brother to help me move inside and sit, the boss was very considerate, and poured me some home-brewed flower wine to taste, the favorite plum wine was too high, decisively gave up, and chose about 10 degrees of peach blossom wine.

I ordered a mushroom pot, this pot of soup contains 8 kinds of wild mushrooms, the soup base made by local chicken, plus cordyceps, bamboo shoots, morels, porcini mushrooms, there is a small timer after serving, and it can only be eaten after 30 minutes after turning on the heat. Corn baba, made very distinctively, is a corn cake wrapped in corn husks, made into a triangular shape, faintly sweet, you can also taste the fragrance of corn leaves, but you have to eat it hot, there is no soft and glutinous feeling when it is cold. Carved plum beef slices, I like to eat this dish, sweet and sour, plums and beef and bell peppers stir-fried together taste very good, and finally thicken and pour the sauce, a bit like the method of Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, which is very much in line with my taste.

Rose milk milk fan soup, if you are not used to baking milk fan, then the dessert made, with a rich milky aroma, should be in line with your taste, presumably girls like this dessert very much! When traveling, I also need to ensure a balanced daily nutrition, I ordered a local stir-fried arugula, a local green leafy vegetable, a very refreshing dish.

If you are also interested in tie-dyeing, you can go to Xizhou or nearby Zhou Village to experience a DIY tie-dye, make a dress or scarf for yourself or your family, Xizhou Ancient Town is different from the ancient city of Dali , there are not so many tourists, the ancient city is not so big, on a winter afternoon, quietly basking in the sun in the yard, is a very satisfying thing.

If you have more time, I don't recommend you to take a battery car, you can walk, and many tasteful alleys are battery cars can't enter, you can rent a bicycle, Slowly walking through the ancient town, not wanting to work, putting aside worries, just looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, everything will be fine.
