Just got back! Here are 10 tips for those planning to travel to Dali

💃Dali is really fun, I almost didn't want to leave! Here are my 10 travel experiences: . 📍1, Don't go to Longkan Wharf to watch the sunrise In fact, in Dali Ancient City, you can watch the sunrise from the terrace of any homestay, the scenery is not inferior to the seaside (Figure 2). Or find a romantic cafe, have breakfast while watching the sunrise, it's also a unique experience (Figure 3). . 📍2, Dali paddy fields are not good-looking The current wheat field (paddy field) is in a period of green and yellow (Figure 4), not green, not golden, if you are not in a hurry, you can wait another week, then the paddy field will turn completely golden, a hundred times better than now. . 📍3, No need to charter a car around Erhai If you want to finish Haixi and Haidong in one day, the time is really too rushed, the correct way is to take the Erhai bus, 138 yuan/3 days, basically covering most of the attractions, saving money and effort, the experience is also very good (specific later will come out a strategy). . 📍4, Dali weather forecast is not accurate I went to Dali for 8 days, every day the forecast said it would rain, but only one day it rained, and it was at night. Dali has a large temperature difference, the afternoon is still 28℃, a heavy rain at night, immediately dropped to 13℃, need to prepare some warm clothes. . 📍5, Xizhou is suitable for slow strolling If you only plan to play in Xizhou for 2 hours, then it's really a waste, there are many places worth strolling slowly (Figure 5), Yanjia Grand Courtyard, Corner Tower, Xizhou Wheat Field, and the coffee shops around the wheat field, are all worth savoring. . 📍6, Spend more time on the corridor bridge The corridor bridge is really beautiful for taking pictures (Figure 6), but there are also many people, it is recommended to go in the morning, the light is better. After taking pictures in the corridor, remember to walk south along the edge of Erhai, you will see a lonely tree, very artistic for taking pictures (Figure 7), and further ahead there is a deserted flower sea (Figure 8). . 📍7, It's most comfortable to cycle around Erhai in the morning and evening Dali's ultraviolet rays are really strong, the best time to cycle or ride an electric donkey around Erhai is before 9 am and after 5 pm. The best cycling section is between Caicun and Panxi Internet Red S Bay, along the way there are sea, sunflowers, and many exquisite coffee shops (Figure 9). . 📍8, You don't have to go to Wenbi Village The Rainbow Road in Wenbi Village (Figure 10), full of Japanese style, but only exists in the filter, the real scene is really hard to say, the rainbow has seriously faded, the road is crowded with people and cars, it's actually dangerous to take pictures in the middle of the road, it's not necessary to go. . 📍9, Be sure to go to Haidong to watch the sunset and fishing lights The sunset in Haidong is beautiful (Figure 11), it is recommended to go around 6 pm, find a cafe on the hillside of Wenbi Village in Haidong, and quietly wait for the sunset. Now it's the fishing festival, at night you can see the fishing lights all over the sea, like stars falling into Erhai. . 📍10, Shuanglang has the most beautiful bookstore Mountain Cocoon Bookstore (Figure 12) is the most beautiful bookstore I have seen in Dali, with a strong sense of design, high aesthetic, the window position is very good, you can quietly watch people come and go. The key is that there are few people, order a drink, and daze here for an afternoon, it's also very beautiful. .
