I took a trip to Dali, and everyone in my circle of friends thought I went abroad

Come to Dali, where time is calm and peaceful🥰. Dali has been endowed with too much meaning and sentiment, those who have never been to Dali yearn and dream of it😃, and those who have visited Dali are haunted by its charm🤩. 🚘Transportation: 🚄High-speed train: Get off at Dali Station, then exit to the blue sign where you can take the No. 8 bus to the East Gate/North Gate, or take the scenic area shuttle bus🚍 ✈️Airplane: Dali has an airport, with direct flights available, but the airport is quite far from the ancient city, though it's closer to Xiaguan. If you have time, you can experience the nightlife of Xiaguan😉 Three-day tour recommendation: Day1: Dali Ancient Town - Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas - Night tour of Dali Ancient Town🎇 Day2: Erhai Lake - Shuanglang Ancient Town - Xizhou Ancient Town - Nanzhao Folk Island🌊 Day3: Visit Cangshan Mountain🗻 Must-visit attractions: 1️⃣Dali Ancient Town: This is the core area of Dali tourism, with a deep historical charm and carrying the culture of Dali! Although commercialization is inevitable, it is still a place where tourists💖 love to check in😄 Ticket: Free — 2️⃣Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas: This is the only national 5A scenic area in Dali, known as the number one temple of Han Buddhism, with beautiful scenery and a high photo-taking rate👍 Ticket: 75 — 3️⃣Erhai Lake: As the symbol of Dali, to be honest, not visiting Erhai Lake is like not having been to Dali at all. After visiting Erhai, I understood why Dali is a place that soothes the soul🌊 Ticket: Free/Boat ticket 140 — 4️⃣Shuanglang Ancient Town: Located on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake in Dali, known as the town with the best sea views, the Sun Palace and Moon Palace of the Peacock Queen Yang Liping are here, but I didn't manage to make a reservation🏠 Ticket: Free — 5️⃣Xizhou Ancient Town: This is a tranquil and delicate millennium-old town. The town is not big, and it only takes about half a day to fully explore it, with a strong sense of daily life🗓️ Ticket: Free — 6️⃣Nanzhao Folk Island: Surrounded by water on all sides, the island has a Guanyin statue, Nanzhao royal palace, the main square, and Taihu stones! You must take a boat to get onto the island🚢 Ticket: 50 — 7️⃣Cangshan Mountain: This is my personal favorite, with eighteen peaks and eighteen streams, and snow on the mountain top all year round. Here you can overlook the scenery of Dali and Erhai Lake🏔️ Gantong cableway 80, Cangshan cableway 60 (round trip) The main scenery is along the Gantong cableway About food😋 When in Dali, you must try the local specialties, such as Water Lily Soup, Dali Sour Fish, Xizhou Persimmon, Cold Chicken Rice Noodles, Carved Plums, Roasted Dairy Fan, and Erkuai, etc. Foodie friends can taste according to their preferences. About accommodation🛏️ 1. Stay by Erhai Lake: The view by the lake is very good, and it's convenient to watch the sunrise, but transportation is not very convenient. 2. Stay in Dali Ancient Town: The ancient town is the most recommended, with convenient transportation and a wide range of accommodation options, making it very convenient for eating, drinking, and shopping. 3. Stay in Shuanglang Ancient Town: Facing Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, the scenery is truly amazing, and it's quite peaceful and leisurely.
