Dali | Three-Day Wander

Dali | Three-Day Wander🌸 DAY 1⃣️ Take a taxi🚗 from the South Gate to Caicun Pier, which takes about ten minutes. Electric vehicles from outside are not allowed into Erhai Lake, so you need to rent a speed-limited electric scooter🛵 or bicycle to go around the lake. 🛵There are two types: the stylish one is 25/half hour, the ordinary one is 15/1 hour; It takes about 3-4 hours to reach the covered bridge, with the electric scooter speed limited to 15km/h. It gets dark late, so half a day is already plenty of time. There are many people in the wheat fields of Xizhou Ancient Town🧑‍🤝‍🧑, but in fact, there are similar wheat fields in many places. It's more interesting to visit the traditional Bai ethnic architecture🏠 than the wheat fields. The Xizhou Baba is bought outside the ancient town. The freshly baked price is half that of the ancient town, and it's very fragrant. The taste of grilled milk fan is a bit like milk candy, not bad. Ark Fatty, personally, I really don't think it's good😠 As a Cantonese who can eat spicy food, eating pounded chicken feet🌶️, I chose mild spicy and was made to cry by the spiciness. DAY 2⃣️ Charter a car around the east of the lake: Xingsheng Bridge - Luodian Peninsula (entrance ticket required) - Wenbi Village - Xiaoputuo - Wase - Shuanglang Ancient Town On the way from Luodian Peninsula to Wenbi Village, take a photo with Cangshan Mountain🎈, better than the photos from Wenbi Village; Wase swing, you need to consume at the store to get a number for photos, and the scenery is also nice. Next to the store, there is a small courtyard you can enter to play🌸, lots of flowers, and good for taking photos. For the swing, it would be good to have a foldable reflector, as the photos taken with a phone against the light show the person as dark😂 Kanglang Village: Not many people in Kanglang Village, great for taking pictures of the scenery. Shuanglang: Flowers🏜️ are all around the pier, and the sunset is around 6:50. There's plenty of time for playing and taking photos on the way. 💤So it's best to set off at around eleven in the morning. (The chartered car is for nine hours) Cuilu Ye: The Litsea cubeba pepper chicken is really super delicious🤤, about thirty or forty per person👍, the best meal I've had in Dali. day 3⃣️ 🌟North Gate Market🧺🥬 It's a bit more than one kilometer from the South Gate by a small electric donkey (taxis are hard to get), and you can also walk there in half an hour🚶 The market has lots of special snacks and fruits. I bought blueberries🫐 next to a milk fan stall for 35 per jin, and the appearance and taste were almost the same as those from Sam's at 75 per jin. After visiting the market, walk to the end of Bo'ai Road to find a noodle shop, where a nine-yuan bowl of rice noodles is surprisingly delicious🥣 🌟Dali University: The cherry blossoms are particularly lush🌸, whole patches of them, great for wearing jk or Hanfu for photos. tips: Remember to bring sunscreen umbrella/hat (windproof), lip balm body lotion (very dry), foldable reflector, down or shell jacket (big temperature difference between morning and evening)
