Dali Ancient City, a thousand-year-old capital of Nanzhao (first built in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty), is famous for its "wind, flowers, snow and moon" Cang'er scenery and chessboard-like layout. The city is paved with bluestone and has clear springs flowing around the houses. The Bai ethnic group's "three courtyards and one screen wall" architecture is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, fully demonstrating the nation's ingenuity. Take a stroll in the quiet alleys in the morning to watch the flowing water and the blooming flowers, or climb up the South City Gate to overlook the rolling clouds and Cang'er Lake in the distance, and you can feel the quiet poetic core of the ancient city. **Half fireworks, half tranquility**——Between gains and losses, the key is to make choices.
