A Trip to Dali, Encountering the Poetry and Distance of Yunnan

Hey friends! 👋 I recently took a trip to the unbelievably beautiful Yunnan Dali, and the five-day four-night journey completely enchanted me. Want to know how to enjoy it authentically? Check out my super practical guide! 🌟 🏰 On the first day, let's stroll around the Dali Ancient Town. The ancient Bai ethnicity architecture really has its own unique charm, and don't forget to try those drool-worthy local delicacies! 🍜 🚤 On the second day, we'll follow the breeze of Erhai Lake, take a boat to experience the poetic scene of 'the moon rising above the sea'. Then, Cangshan Mountain is waiting for us to conquer, and the scenery from the high mountain will definitely make your trip worthwhile! 🏞️ 🏡 On the third day, the slow life in Shuanglang Ancient Town will make you not want to leave. The town is quiet and beautiful, simply a paradise for photography enthusiasts. 📷 🕍 On the fourth day, Xizhou Ancient Town is even more of a hidden gem, with its well-preserved ancient buildings, it's as if you can travel back a thousand years. ⏳ 🎁 On the fifth day, it's up to you to decide, whether to go on a shopping spree or continue exploring the surrounding beauty? It's all about your preference! 🍲 Speaking of food, Dali's sour and spicy fish and crossing-the-bridge rice noodles are must-try delicacies. When you're tired from walking, the snack street in the ancient town is also a great place to recharge! 🛌 For accommodation at night, the characteristic inns inside and outside the ancient town and the small hotels by the Erhai Lake are both great choices. Falling asleep under the starry sky, how beautiful! ⚠️ However, don't forget to apply sunscreen during your trip, the sun on the plateau is no joke. With a big temperature difference between day and night, remember to bring an extra coat. As for transportation, buses, taxis, and self-driving are all convenient, but safety comes first! Also, respect the local customs and be a polite traveler. So, here comes the question, have you ever been to Dali? Or is there anything else you would like to know? See you in the comments! 💬
