#Route Planning
🚗🚗🚗Travel route:
Day1: National Cemetery→Heshun Ancient Town Paid attractions in the ancient town: Library, Yuanlong Pavilion, Ai Siqi Memorial Hall Liu Clan Ancestral Hall, Wanlouzi Folk House Museum.
Other open attractions are free, there are more ancestral halls, and the commercial atmosphere is a bit heavy. The taste of Cunjia, the fish and mushrooms are quite good, the fish is sour river fish, it depends on personal taste.
Day2: Mengbanasi Rare Garden There are many free-range peacocks in it, and they are not afraid of people. Some rare stones and ancient trees have basically never been seen. For example, the Bodhi tree, and strange stones such as the Golden Horse and Jade Chicken. It is worth taking the children to visit and learn more.
Bodhi Temple is a very small temple, which is relatively early. It was built in the late Kangxi period and the last reconstruction was in 2022. It integrates the architectural styles of Han and Dai.
Tree-wrapped Tower is a symbol of love for Dai youth and a holy place for dating.
Dai Ancient Town There is nothing original, just check in.
Menghuan Golden Pagoda → Menghuan Silver Pagoda Golden Pagoda and Silver Pagoda, a place for internet celebrities to take photos and check in, a group of people travel to find angles, the scenery is good in the evening, but the groups of internet celebrities and travel photography are a bit ruining. I saw two big white rabbits playing and fighting! Personally, I feel that it is not as fun as the Rare Garden.
Day3: Dali Ancient Town Dali Ancient Town is my favorite place on this trip, visiting bars and eating mushrooms.
Jianghu Xiao·Wild Mushroom Hot Pot This one is very good, the soup is fresh and delicious, but it’s a pity that it was not the season when I went there, so I didn’t eat it. As for the bar, I will open a separate post to write about the various kinds of Qing bars in Dali that make people linger.
Day4: Erhai Lake → Erhaiyue Wetland Park → Huakai Fanchang Live Music Bar (Dali Store) Erhai Lake is very far away, the bar is very worry-free, and time and space are very lonely. Yunheyi Seaview Manor Restaurant Enjoy the Erhai breeze, eat mushrooms, and drink local wine on the hillside. The bamboos are lush and the breeze is blowing, and people are also slightly tipsy...
Day5: Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas Cultural Tourism Area → Three Pagodas Reflection Park The Three Pagodas are the most worthwhile attractions on this trip. On the last day, I was thinking about climbing Cangshan Mountain or visiting the Three Pagodas. Because of physical reasons, I finally chose the Three Pagodas. Personally, I think that if I want to recommend a scenic spot, it is undoubtedly the Chongsheng Three Pagodas! This is the most worthwhile original attraction in Dali. Strong humanistic atmosphere and heavy historical accumulation. There is no need to pursue the shooting angle utilitarianism, and everything you can do is a scenic spot. Walking close to the tower and looking up at the thousands of feet is even more shocking. Even if there are thousands of demons in your heart, they are all washed away!
