We are always looking for various ways to gain freedom, and the meaning of travel is to find our own freedom in the constant search.

In the New Year atmosphere deep in Dali, the poetry and distance of the new year begin. Please note that this is not a travel guide in the traditional sense, but a self-walking route immersed in the years of Dali. We use this to go deep into the flavor and villages of Dali, and in various picturesque scenery of Dali. , looking for the opportunity of spring.

If possible, we would like to recommend to you those villages hidden deep in Dali.

The breeze is pleasant, flowers bloom all year round, and clear streams gurgling along the bluestone canal beside the village. Some of these streams come from Cangshan Mountain, and some flow naturally from the mountains behind their houses. Among the green tiles and white walls, the children of the Bai family have been working hard for generations in the morning sun and in the dusk; under the big green trees, old people sit around chatting about home affairs, while children play beside them. Such a quiet and beautiful Dali village is worthy of our time to stay. Here it is.

Sunrise in Caicun

Wake up the years

Caicun is the seaside village closest to the ancient city of Dali. The pier near the water is the best place to watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake. At dawn, the fishing boats began to set sail, and the sleepy Erhai slowly woke up.

As this winter passes, spring and summer intersect. The sunflower sea in Caicun looks like a sea appearing in the village.

The wind in Dali

Blows the fragrance in the villages of Xiaguan

They are all talking about the moon in Erhai Lake and the snow in Cangshan Mountain, The snow and the moon are stunningly beautiful and incredibly romantic. The wind in Xiaguan blows from the depths of the village. The fragrance of flowers, fireworks, grass and trees... has an aura of "if I didn't speak, there would still be wind there".

Surrounding Jinhu Lake, the large and small lakes are irrigated and nourished by Jiutoulongtang in the west. Huaying Village grinds borneol tofu, which is famous far and near; Banzhuang Village cooks Dragon Tears wine, which is fragrant for thousands of miles. During the years, these villages, together with Cangdian Mountain and Tiejia Mountain behind them, were hidden in the boundless waves of Jin Lake, calm and warm as spring.

Served with dancing

The flavor here is extraordinary

In Nanjian, when a family starts dancing at the dining table The dishes must be for distinguished guests and the best happy event is happening. The dishes are mountain delicacies, grown in the fields, and the taste is extraordinary. The way of serving food is dancing. The dancers wear sheepskin coats and go from the kitchen to the dining table, dancing and playing while serving food. They have different postures, strong and soft, and rotate freely. The trays filled with dishes are constantly being turned out in their hands. After all, eating a meal like this is how you get to know Dali.

When the new year comes, the meaning of travel in Dali Slow Valley is joy, reunion and yearning.

Damei Yongjin Road

A road leading to spring

Dali is different from the cold elsewhere, with golden apricots flying Leaves, colorful clouds falling silently to the ground, sparkling Jin Lake... Even in winter, the flowers and scenery on this road have never fallen.

While savoring the beautiful scenery, walk close to the beautiful Yongjin Road. Watch the smart and poetic clouds floating in the sky, and the warm sunshine is framed in the boundless softness. As I walked, I felt as if I had traveled through the animation world of Hayao Miyazaki and Makoto Shinkai.

Original Wild Horse Farm

My clattering horse hooves are a song

In the original wetland island of Dali Slow Valley Above, a former wild horse farm grows. It is like an island, floating gently on the surface of Jin Lake, facing the gentle breeze, turning the sound of horse hooves in Dali years into beating notes on the 1,300-square-meter sand track.

When I get on the horse, the clatter of my horse's hooves is not a mistake, but a yearning. There are various types of horses on the racecourse, including sweat horses, domestic ponies, Welsh ponies, and Dutch warmblood horses... Get on the horse's back and leave a cool photo.

Stepping onto the Moon-Wang Bridge

They say they are walking into the years

In the deep valley, on the surface of Jin Lake The sparkling waves and moonlight bridge fill the bridge, creating an elegant bridge. Just like the rainbow in the world leads to the most beautiful mountains and rivers, it is within a small distance and thousands of miles away, bringing the unique poetry and love of Dali Lake and Mountain into your heart.

The Bai people’s pavilions with carved railings and jade, the peaceful and quiet rural houses, there are so many details in Wangyue Bridge waiting for us to find. The structure and color coordination of those buildings alone are enough to make people who walk on this bridge linger in the cultural years of Dali.

Traffic jams begin during the Spring Festival, and New Year greetings begin in the first month. For thousands of years, Chinese people’s lives have been as plain as water, with the existence of etiquette. It is also at this time of reunion that families gather together and the wandering souls can be comforted.

The Spring Festival in big cities is too crowded, people come and go in a hurry, and the meaning of "travel" only exists in traffic jams and traffic jams. Come to Dali, choose a village in Dali, and spend a sunny and free New Year there. Food, markets, folk customs and scenery will never be absent.

Perhaps, when we choose to enter Dali, we have already entered the yearning for the New Year.
