Nanny-level guide suitable for autumn and winter trips to Dali

Day1 Xizhou stroll + Erhai cycling In the morning of the first day, go to Xizhou, the golden rice fields in autumn are beautiful. The Bai ethnic ancient architectural group in Xizhou ancient town, and the rural scenery are perfect match. The 'Jiangzhi Collection' museum, which gathers non-heritage cultures such as tie-dyeing and armor, must be visited. The flower cake recommends 'Shihua Ji', and the lunch strongly recommends 'Ama Ying' pea powder, 8 yuan a bowl is delicious and cheap In the afternoon, go to the 'Haijiao Park' by the Erhai Lake in Xizhou. Starting from here, ride counterclockwise along the Erhai Lake. It takes about 5 hours to stop and go through the covered bridge, Mangyong Creek, Xiabopeng, Majiu, and Caicun. The end point is 'Longkan Wharf'. The seagulls and red cypresses in autumn and winter are really romantic. Tips: You must scan the code to share bicycles, renting other bicycles is troublesome to return. Day2 Cangshan light hiking After visiting Erhai Lake, you must go to Cangshan. I don't recommend taking the cable car directly to the top of the mountain. The most interesting and best scenery is actually a light hiking route—Yudai Road Cloud Tour. In the morning, take the 'Zhonghe Cableway' to Cangshan, the cableway + Cangshan ticket is 65 yuan/person. Follow the sign and walk along the 'Gantong Cableway' direction. This Yudai Road is all flat. You can experience the beauty of Cangshan without any effort. The entire Yudai Road is 12km, and it can be easily completed in 3-4 hours. After reaching the Gantong Cableway, you must not miss the nearby 'Qingbi Creek', where the stream is extremely clear. The afternoon descent from the Gantong Cableway is 50 yuan/person, note that you must descend before 4:30. Day3 Shaxi Ancient Town I recommend the 'Shaxi Ancient Town', the ceiling of the ancient town in my mind, which is a 2h drive from Dali. It is recommended to use a ride-hailing or carpooling to reach Shaxi directly. As the filming location of 'Go to the Windy Place', Shaxi Ancient Town has a lot fewer people in the off-season. You can watch the sunset at Yujin Bridge, watch the villagers herd sheep by the Heihui River, look at the fields of the entire Shaxi at the half-mountain coffee, and follow the traces of Li Xian at the Pioneer Bookstore... Friends say: Shaxi is too beautiful, I want to come again.
