To travel to Yunnan, you must visit Lijiang, go to dali, and then Xishuangbanna. I have seen five golden flower handfuls, because Cangshan Erhai Lake and butterfly spring are all there. Besides, this line can be extended to Lijiang to see Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain and Tiger Leaping Gorge.

Dali is a beautiful and charming ancient city, and its scenery can be summed up in four words: "wind, flowers and snow moon", that is, "Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flower, Cangshan snow and Erhai moon", which is a famous four scenic spots in Dali. There are many inns in Dali ancient city, which are not in peak season. You can find them slowly.

Dali still retains the ancient city wall. Walking along the city wall step by step, stroking those bricks gently with your hands, you can't help but imagine.

Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the western Yunnan Plateau, with Yunling Mountain in the west and Central Yunnan Plateau in the east. It covers an area of about 3, square kilometers.

As early as ancient times, Heman, an ancestor of the Bai nationality, thrived near Erhai Lake, creating Erhai Lake civilization. In the Han Dynasty, Ye Yu County with Dali (the ancient city) as the center was set up, Nanzhao State was established in the Tang Dynasty, and Dali State was established in the Song Dynasty. It has been the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan for five or six hundred years. The ancient southern land Silk Road, the only way to go, connected Sichuan and Tibet in the north and Simao in the south, became an important transportation pivot in western Yunnan.

Dali, a tourist attraction with infinite yearning and memory. The local folk customs are simple and hospitable. When guests come from afar, you are very welcome to sit in his yard, and some will send you a cup of green tea to quench your thirst. And I am proud to introduce it to you, and please enjoy the flowers and plants, goldfish, antique houses, carved panes and so on. The local folk customs are helpful, asking for directions in the street will show you the direction and route very carefully; If you have other difficulties, you must try your best to help. If you can't help, you will also tell you how to find the relevant organs and units.

People who have never been to Dali know Dali from two sources. One is Mr. Jin Yong's novel. In the middle of the novel, the emperor's "one finger magic" points out the mystery of Qingyuan in the ancient country of Nanzhao, which makes people hide their thoughts. Second, the "Five Golden Flowers" in the 196s was accompanied by a song "Meet by butterfly spring" sung all over the country, and the beautiful scenery of Dali was also widely known.

Actually, Dali has much more than that. Dali has a long history and is known as the "famous country of literature". As far back as the Neopaleolithic period, ancient humans lived there. When Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty set up counties in Yunnan, Dali was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, two local regimes, Nanzhao State and Dali State, which belonged to the Tang and Song Dynasties, successively appeared in Dali. Before the Yuan Dynasty, Dali was always the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan. In Yuan Dynasty, Yunnan was established as a province, and the political, economic and cultural center of Yunnan moved from Dali to Kunming. However, Dali is still the political, economic and cultural center of western Yunnan, and has successively set up administrative organs at the prefecture level, such as roads, governments and administrative commissions. In 1956, regional ethnic autonomy was implemented and Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture was established. At the same time, Dali is also a transportation hub in western Yunnan. After the reform and opening up, Dali has gradually developed into a commercial and tourist center city in western Yunnan.

A long history and splendid culture have left a wealth of cultural relics and historic sites. Between Yu 'er and Yincang, the natural scenery is beautiful, Cangshan is like a screen, Erhai is like a mirror, and butterfly spring is deep and secluded, with four wonders of "wind, flowers, snow and moon" (Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow and Erhai moon).

Dali is the main settlement of the Bai people, where the simple and rich Bai customs are preserved. When you go to Dali, you can learn about the life customs of the Bai people, taste unique Bai flavor foods, buy satisfactory Bai folk handicrafts, and participate in the traditional festival celebrations of the Bai people's March Street in Dali.

The ancient city of Dali attracts self-help tourists from abroad, and a famous "foreigner street" has been formed in the road to protect the country in the city. Intoxicated by the simple folk customs and long history and culture of the Bai people, they will even stay in Dali for a long time.

Accommodation in Dali Tourism:

Xiaguan is now the political and economic center of Dali, and the tourist reception facilities are relatively perfect. As a famous tourist city, the accommodation in Dali is divided into two parts: Xiaguan and the ancient city of Dali.

Many private hotels and guest houses on the road to protect the country in the ancient city of Dali are converted from old houses, which are antique and full of charm. It is suggested that tourists might as well try the Bai people's houses in Xizhou, Dali, or the houses beside Foreigners' Street, which are the best places to appreciate the local ethnic customs. The cost is not expensive, generally 2-4 yuan per bed.

Yaxing Hotel (four-star) on Yeyu Road in the city center is the best hotel in Dali, and Manwan Hotel is the most famous hotel in Shimonoseki, followed by Cangshan Hotel and Jinda Hotel. Huguo Road in the ancient city of Dali is the residence of self-help tourists from all over the world, where there are many small hotels with low prices and good quality.

Tourism delicacies in Dali:

When it comes to the characteristics of Dali's catering, three tea, fish in casserole and Deng Chuan Rufan should be the first choice.

Most of the best restaurants in Dali are concentrated in the ancient city. To taste Dali cuisine, you can go to Huguo Road in the ancient city, where many foreign tourists gather.

On the road of protecting the country, western cafes with the characteristics of Bai and Tibetan ethnic minorities can be seen everywhere. Many restaurants also sell Chinese and western food, and tourists can taste Yunnan-style dishes and local Bai cuisine.

every restaurant here has its own characteristics, and its recipes are different. Among them, Taibailou, which is famous both at home and abroad for its Bai nationality "three tea" and Tibetan "butter tea", is a representative. Drinking tea here and looking around, you will feel as if you are in the United Nations.

Of course, the attraction of the ancient city is not only the food, but also the quiet and relaxed atmosphere provided by cafes and restaurants here, where people can spend a leisurely afternoon listening to music and drinking cold beer.

Almost all cafes provide tourist information and booking services, and some even have bicycles for tourists to rent.

Of course, if you come to Yunnan, you will want to visit Lijiang. Dali and Lijiang can let you enjoy the infinite scenery of the plateau, such as Cangshan, Erhai, Santai, butterfly spring, the ancient city, Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain and Naxi culture there, which will make you feel glad you came. Shangri-La is close to Tibet, with a high altitude and the most beautiful scenery. If you choose this route, I suggest you take warm clothes, because the altitude is high, and once it rains, the temperature will be quite low, especially in Yulong Snow Mountain and Zhongdian. In Lijiang, you must visit the ancient city in the evening and enjoy the culture there.

As for the transportation fee, I can only offer the price of tour groups, Dali-> Lijiang-> Zhongdian, which is usually transported by train and car, and the price should not exceed that of 1 yuan/person.
