Before Kunming, Dali was the center of Yunnan, where many historical sites were preserved, which was quite interesting. Dali has the ancient city of Dali and Erhai Lake, both of which are rare beauty. The water in Erhai Lake is very clean and clear, and Erhai Lake is surrounded by beautiful scenery, which can be said to be basically free. Of course, there are also paid parks and some paid photo scenes by Erhai Lake.

It is best to choose a chartered car for a one-day tour of Erhai Lake. Now, because of the pollution control of Erhai Lake, the hotels along Erhai Lake have closed down, and they can only live in the ancient city of Dali or the urban area of Dali. The ancient city of Dali is quieter than Old Town of Lijiang, surrounded by city walls and gates. There are three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple outside the ancient city, which is the symbol of Dali. In addition, Cangshan, Shuanglang and Chongsheng Temple have beautiful scenery.

Lijiang's specialty

1, eight bowls in Jianchuan

Jianchuan Eight Bowls has a long history. According to legend, it was originally a state banquet hosted by White King, Dali, for the kings of sixteen neighboring countries in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Because most of these countries believe in Buddhism, meat and vegetables are mixed. Because Duan Baiwang was a resident of Jianchuan Courtyard, it was later introduced into Jianchuan folk and became a delicious treat for guests, which lasted for nearly a thousand years. Eight bowls of meat and vegetables are matched, and the cooking order is delicious, suitable for all ages. It will also put the deep affection of Baixiang people into dishes, pay attention to interest, reflect the hospitality of Bai people and have national characteristics.

2. White tea

Three tea, a Bai nationality, is an important traditional custom of courtesy for the Bai people in Dali, with a long history. As early as Tang Fanchu's Schumann, it was recorded that it was a habit to drink tea with pepper, ginger, cinnamon and cooking. From making, offering and tasting tea, there is a set of exquisite ceremonies, which are now presented in the form of integrating traditional Bai songs and dances. Drink slowly, and the friendship between the host and the guest is in the tea. The first kind of tea, smoked and roasted in a casserole with China fire, is fragrant and bitter, hence the name bitter tea.
