Dali is a pretty good place.
But I went with a group.
It is recommended not to join a group, it is better to travel independently.
It feels great to take a cruise on Erhai Lake, and a large group of seabirds fly by.
The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali, think about the time when Duan Yu and Wang Yuyan lived a happy life here.
The ancient city of Dali is also worth visiting.
Went in 2008.
At that time, there was no movie like Xu Zheng's, nor was there the song "Go to Dali".
Now that the hype is going on, there will definitely be more people here.
Most of them are members of the Young Artists Association.
However, I feel that the Butterfly Spring in Dali is quite deceptive. At that time, the entrance fee was 60. It took less than an hour to get out.
This is the disadvantage of group tours.
It feels like nothing.
Just a spring.
It would be much better if you travel independently.
It’s up to you to decide whether to go or not.
Dali is warm in winter and cool in summer, with a large daily temperature difference. Spring is the best. There is a rainy season in summer and autumn. Winter winds are often dry. Pay attention to sun protection, moisturizing, warmth, wind protection and mosquito protection in all seasons.
Hot and sour food is a major dietary feature.
2-3 days is enough. It is recommended to stay in the ancient city. If you have time, it would be more comfortable to live in a small village such as the ancient town or Shuanglang.
Cangshan and Erhai are a must-see, followed by the ancient city, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, and the Butterfly Spring. In Xizhou and Zhoucheng, you can visit Bai architecture and tie-dyeing, and there are several corridors of Erhai scenery.
1. Sleep until you wake up naturally and have a milk-fan breakfast, 2. Ride a bicycle or electric scooter along the sea-ring highway to see the Erhai Lake, 3. Bask in the sun in the courtyard full of flowers and trees, 4. Pass the time with coffee in the foreign street, 5. Experience the Bai ethnic group in Xizhou
Style, 6. Buy yourself a tie-dyed gown.
Shuanglang, Xizhou, Caicun, Danse, etc. are also good.
Spicy and sour fish, kaoyu nuggets, Xizhou Baba, cold chicken rice noodles, etc. are worth trying.
