Finally, someone has clearly explained a two-day tour of Dali (with photo spots)

Dali will punish anyone who doesn’t plan ahead... For these few photos, I’m willing to visit Dali countless times! Special Forces Dali 2 days 1 night best route📷🥹 Sisters with the same itinerary can copy it directly~~ 🌊About Dali Erhai Lake: Erhai Lake is divided into East Sea and West Sea. It’s recommended to spend one day on the West Sea and one day on the East Sea. ⬅️On the West Sea side, you can rent a bicycle or electric scooter🛵 to ride around the lake, which is relaxing and comfortable~ There are shared electric scooters available inside the corridor, very convenient. ➡️The East Sea side has longer distances between attractions, so it’s recommended to rent a car for self-driving or hire a car🚕 for more convenience and freedom. 🚗Itinerary: Day 1: Depart from Dali Ancient Town - Longkan Pier - Xiaboping - Panxi S Bay - Corridor Bridge - Xizhou Ancient Town - Shenjiang Village Day 2: Head to East Sea - Wenbi Village - Shuanglang Ancient Town 📸Photo spots sharing: 1️⃣ Corridor Bridge (p2-3) 2️⃣ Xizhou Ancient Town Corridor Bridge (p4) 3️⃣ Panxi S Bay (p5) 4️⃣ San Sheng Island sunrise (p6-7) 5️⃣ Shenjiang Village (p8) 6️⃣ Longkan Pier (p9) 7️⃣ Wenbi Village (p10) 8️⃣ Shuanglang Ancient Town (p11) 🍜Food: ✔️ Yunshan Yao Yunnan Cuisine (Dali Port Pier Branch) Right by Dali Erhai Lake🏝️, a three-story Bai-style villa where you can eat while enjoying the lake view. All dishes are special Yunnan cuisine. Highly recommend the wild mushroom soup hotpot; remember to drink the broth first, it’s very fresh! ✔️ Jing Dai Ethnic • Dai Style Peacock Feast Hand-Grasped Rice (Dali Ancient Town Branch) A traditional Dai cuisine restaurant with Dai-style hand-grasped rice and Dai specialty stir-fried dishes. The ingredients are fresh! On holidays, there are Dai singing and dancing performances, creating a great atmosphere, perfect for photos and check-ins~ ✔️ A Po Qing Cured Pork Rib Hotpot (Ancient Town Flagship Store) Recommended by locals. Ordered cured pork ribs + native chicken combo. The meat is tender and not dry, and it’s black-bone chicken! Every bite is fragrant~ Remember to get a number in advance to queue. ✔️ 69 Crazy Roasted Big Bird • Original Charcoal BBQ Authentic Yunnan-style barbecue🍢 with roasted big bird, charcoal-grilled meat, and thick slices of pork belly, all delicious🤤 The staff can help with grilling, full of smoky flavor.

Cangshan Mountain

Dali China, a magical place. #travel Day 1: Arrival from the Dali airport, get to the hotel. it's about 50mins journey, as we arrived at rush hour. Had a walk in Dali Old town. Day 2: Cable car to go to Cangshan. then took a taxi to ShuangLang old town, then to Xingsheng Bridge. Day 3: Went to XiZhou old Town. [Must-Visit Attractions] 1.Dali Old Town, the night view is beautiful, you see lots of people. there are millions of shops you can go in and check out local delicacies or buying little gifts for friends and family. 2. Cangshan Mountain, there are several roots to go up. we tried XiMaTan cable car, there are two stages to go up. the view is magnificent. you can take Erhai to full view. once you change to the 2nd stage, you are almost all in the cloud, it's magical. once you are at the end of the cable car journey, you can still walk to XiMaTan (there are stairs leading to it, suggest to have oxygen bottles with you, in case you are feeling not too well, as it's almost 4000meters above sea level. When coming down, we decided to walk to gantong Cable car, which is about 2 hours walk down. you don't need to buy tickets again for Gantong cable car, as this is covered in your ticket. 3. ShuangLang Old Town. LongKan MaTou & Eco corridor. Xingsheng Bridge. Make sure you are covered or make sure to put sun cream on, you can get tanned really easily since Dali is in a high altitude. The view in eco-corridor was beautiful, cars or motorcycles are not allowed to get in, there are bicycles or low speed scooters are available for renting. On one side, there are lots of Bai ethnic buildings, hotels, all nicely decorated with plants, flowers. on the other side, it's ErHai, the beautiful lake. there are coffee shops nearby, lots of photogenic shops. ShuangLang is another highlight, really nice views and food available in your fingers tips. rose cake is a local delicacies, you can find lots of shops are selling it. Restaurants, must try YunHeYi restaurant, it's on a hill, the views are just amazing.
