Dali: The Ideal Land Between Cangshan and Erhai


In China's Yunnan, there's a small city called Dali. Unlike the bustle of Beijing or Shanghai, it's the 'most longed-for place' in many hearts.


Why visit Dali?


Cangshan and Erhai: A Scenic Wonder

The nineteen peaks of Cangshan are snow-capped year-round. Erhai isn't a sea but bluer than the ocean. Rent a bike and cycle slowly along the lakeside, with green mountains on your left and sparkling water on your right, the breeze carrying floral scents—you'll understand why so many never want to leave.


 Countryside Life: Slow to the Bone

Rice fields, Bai villages, old houses, dogs sunbathing... Dali's countryside is like an oil painting. Stay in a village courtyard, wake to birdsong in the morning, and watch farmers herd cattle home at dusk. Life suddenly becomes simple.


 Ancient Town: A Gathering Place for Youth and Dreamers

Renmin Road has street musicians, handicraft shops, and cafés. Foreigner Street hides 'Dali addicts' from around the world. Here, people don't ask about your past—just invite you for a drink and chat about poetry and distant places.


Bai Culture: Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon


· Dali is home to the Bai people

· Watch a Bai song-and-dance performance and savor the Three-Course Tea (bitter, sweet, and lingering aftertaste)

· Stroll Xizhou Ancient Town and try the crispy Xizhou baba

· Chongsheng Temple's Three Pagodas: A 1,300-year-old marvel




Dali'sClassic 3-Day Itinerary


Day 1: Ancient Town Charm and Countryside Scenery


· Morning: Arrive in Dali and check into a guesthouse near the ancient town. Explore Dali Ancient Town—enter via the South Gate, walk along Fuxing Road to Wuhua Tower, and admire the panoramic view.

· Noon: Try Bai cuisine like sour-spicy fish, braised chicken, and grilled milk fans at restaurants near Renmin Road.

· Afternoon: Visit Xizhou Ancient Town to see the 'Three Rooms and One Screen Wall' of Yan's Family Compound,打卡转角楼和喜洲麦田。别忘了尝现烤喜洲粑粑。

· Evening: Return to Dali Ancient Town to experience Renmin Road's street culture and bars. Grab some '菜花销魂鸡腿' at Erhai Gate for late-night snacks.


Day 2:环游洱海(西线+东线)


· 清晨:早起去龙龛码头看日出(冬季可遇海鸥),这里是最佳日出观赏点之一。

· 上午:在洱海生态廊道骑行,途径磻溪村S湾和廊桥。廊道内禁机动车,只能租共享单车或电动车。

· 中午:驱车前往海东,在双廊或沿途餐厅用餐,品尝海菜芋头汤等地道菜。

· 下午:游览双廊古镇,可去杨丽萍的太阳宫(需预约)或找家海景咖啡店发呆。随后沿环海东路打卡小普陀(远观即可)、文笔村彩虹公路。

· 傍晚:在理想邦(圣托里尼)风格的咖啡馆等待洱海日落。


Day 3:苍山探幽与人文体验


· 上午:前往苍山,建议乘坐洗马潭大索道(受天气影响可能只开半程),登顶3966米俯瞰洱海。

· 中午:索道下山后,转乘感通索道或步行至寂照庵。这里以多肉植物和鲜花闻名,被称为“中国最文艺尼姑庵”,务必尝尝这里的斋饭(通常11:30开始,吃多少打多少,勿浪费)。
