Finally, the Dali that I have been thinking about has come. If the holiday is enough, I would prefer to visit Dali, Kunming, Lijiang, and Shangri-La. It's a pity that time is limited. Originally, we also wanted to visit Dali and Lijiang. But this will lead to poor shopping everywhere. Instead of this, it is better to take an in-depth tour of Dali.

We flew to Kunming, and then took the high-speed rail from Kunming to Dali. The whole journey takes about 3 hours. Moreover, there are many high-speed rail trains from Kunming to Dali. We also rented a car and picked it up at Dali Railway Station. The car was booked in advance on the ehi-hi APP, and the reception lady was very good-looking.

Day1 Xizhou Ancient Town

When I arrived in Dali, it was about 12 noon. After picking up the car at ehi-mouhi, I drove to Xizhou Ancient Town. Just park your car in one place and walk around in it. There are also bicycle rentals, which I personally don't think are necessary. The ancient town is not big, and it is relatively congested, so renting a bicycle is not as fast as running away by yourself.

There is a large area of water lilies next to the Xizhou Justice Gate, which is very beautiful. Admiration went to the flower record to buy flower cakes. Roses outside the door and bees flying back and forth. p3-4 In the alley not far from the entrance, there is a pulp tofu made by an uncle, which is delicious!! It smells good!! I just saw two young couples around and tried it, but I didn't expect it to be really delicious!! Eat it hot! But hot mouth!

Yan family compound and corner building. There are a lot of people in the corner building, so hurry up after filming. It's really not easy to shoot that kind of atmosphere when shooting the corner tower, there are too many people.

Walking along the wheat field on the side of the road, although the wheat field road where you take pictures with Internet celebrities is not one, it is also very beautiful! !

Pay attention to taking pictures: There is a path to walk, don't step on the wheat. A large part of the area is really set aside for everyone to take pictures. However, we didn't go to the most crowded places, so we took some pictures from a distance.

It was nearly a kilometer from the wheat field on the edge of the ancient town to the big tree in the field, and I was dizzy all the way, and I almost thought I had gone wrong. I thought about it or not walk over, but "I've come here" and "I'm here", I just walked under the big tree. At first glance, the tree is full of people, good boy [bitter] It's okay to take advantage of the coolness, the grass under the tree is going to be bald. I don't know what the strange thing next to the big tree in the rice field is, but belike my mental state.

After checking in at Xizhou Ancient Town, we returned to the ancient city of Dali., about an hour's drive to the B&B in the ancient city. Mainly because there are too many people traveling recently, and there is a bit of a traffic jam. Otherwise, it should be faster.

The B&B is located in the lower section of Renmin Road, in a small alley, the room is clean and comfortable, and the service is also very good. There are a lot of B&Bs around here. I personally think it's okay.

Pack your luggage and go to the ancient city to find food. The first check-in Ark fat man, Sambao chicken amazed us, very fragrant.

It rained on the first night, and after dinner, I went back to the hotel early to rest, silently praying that the rain would stop the next day.

Day2Feel the beauty of nature

It rained all night, and the toad outside the window also screamed all night. After hesitating repeatedly, I decided to go to a tea house as originally planned. Although tea cannot be picked in the rain, Pu'er tea cakes can still be made. It is also good to breathe in the fresh air in the mountains after the rain and slow down to enjoy the rain and taste tea.

Fortunately, by noon, the rain stopped and the sun was shining. We had lunch at Zhangjiayuan Copper Gourd Beef Hot Pot and drove to Yew Farm.

The farm is not particularly large, and the reception capacity is slightly weaker when there are many people. The farm has a grove with children's rides, a creek, and free-range rabbits. The children chased rabbits on the farm while waiting for the afternoon beetle class.

This is what I want to travel. You can get in touch with nature and have a sense of participation.

In the afternoon, I went to Su Ark to make a tile cat. The tile cat is quite complicated, the teacher will first let the children see the story of the tile cat, and then take the children step by step to do it, all of which take almost 3 hours. The children all like the soil, and they are very happy throughout the whole process, and they have a sense of accomplishment when they see their works slowly taking shape. When I was waiting for the children, I also made a rabbit, ugly and ugly.

I went to the wood and stone succulent farm again. This farm feels larger than yew, with super beautiful succulents, there are not many people on the day we went, there are enough seats, the rest place is more comfortable, and the drinks are delicious.

Day3 Little boy picking mushrooms

Today finally ushered in the highlight of Dali's trip - mushroom picking. This was the motivation that made me decide to go to Dali during the rainy season. The event booked at Cangshan House includes a mushroom meal at noon. I prepared a raincoat and rain boot covers, and asked the hotel to pack breakfast the day before.

With anticipation, get up early and arrive at the designated place half an hour early. The weather was beautiful, and the team leader said that this was the only sunny morning in recent days.Mushroom picking is so interesting, walking through the mountains and forests, crossing streams, jumping over hillsides, pushing aside the grass, rummaging under the trees with open eyes, the joy of searching and the joy of discovery will make people feel cherished from the depths of their hearts, this is the gift of nature, how beautiful.

Sitting in the forest to rest, blowing the mountain breeze and overlooking Erhai Lake, I feel refreshed. In the afternoon, I found a homestay by Erhai Lake to make flower cakes. I arrived a little early, first strolled around Erhai Lake, this section cannot go into the water, but the scenery is beautiful, the blue sky and white clouds show layers of reflections on the lake, just like in a painting.

The experience of making flower cakes is also wonderful. Start by picking edible roses with your own hands, mix the filling, chase the crust, wrap the filling, make the shape, and finally taste the freshly baked, steaming flower cake, crispy on the outside, sweet on the inside, full of happiness.

Day4 Experience Jiama printmaking

I took a taxi to Xizhou in the morning, and there were not many people at this time. We slowly slipped from the small streets of the ancient town to the collection of craftsmen. A package of Jiama prints can be printed, and finally a small picture frame will be sent to choose one to install.

After doing Jiama, we experienced tie-dyeing. This is a technical job, we chose the simplest pattern that does not require a needle and dyed a clutch.

You

can also experience papermaking next to tie-dyeing, which takes a short time and can be experienced together if planned. We didn't have enough time, so we didn't do it.

After that, we began to adjust our route and decided to go to the double corridor. The various attractions on the Haidong Line didn't particularly attract me, so we wanted to go to the places we hadn't been to before Haixi made up, and then go to Shuanglang from Haidong to see along the way for the rest of the time. The first stop, Cangshan Botanical Garden. This is a treasure land, with few people and quiet, which is very suitable for children.
