Dali's "Santorini" - A Romantic Getaway

🏖️Dali is a place of romance. From its beautiful natural scenery to its unique folk customs, Dali has become synonymous with romance. If you want to experience the most romantic place in Dali, the "Ideal State" tourist resort town must be in the top three. This Dali version of "Santorini" has become a new internet-famous spot in Dali. ☑️Highlights: 1️⃣ Ideal State is full of Greek-style white buildings, layered and facing the magnificent Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, full of romance. 2️⃣ The overall architectural style of the town is mostly magical curves, built along the mountain, resembling the Mediterranean style. With pure walls, bright flowers, blue sky, and vast Erhai Lake, it is especially romantic and photogenic. 3️⃣ The hotels along the coast outside the town are built in layers, imitating the cliff cave hotels of Santorini, built by the water. The paths between the hotels are winding, and the rooftop terraces of the villas on the high ground are all connected. Each terrace is different in height and size, and the sea and sky views are also different. 🧸How to play: ⛲The town is open for free, and the most popular activity is taking photos. Here, the town is built along the mountain, the streets are poetic and winding, the buildings grow naturally, and the steps are lined with purple lavender and cute succulents. The sky is very blue, and time passes slowly. Whether you want to enjoy the view or take photos, it's a great choice. ‼️If you haven't stayed at a hotel here but want to get a good photo view, take the elevator to the top terrace, order a coffee with a minimum spend (usually CNY 68), take photos in the sunset, and then walk down, discovering new photo spots along the way. 📍Address: Haidong Town, Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. As a newly developed building complex, there is a dedicated parking lot, winding up the mountain, and then walking to the town. 🚶‍♂️One-day tour itinerary recommendation: Dali Ancient City → Shuanglang Ancient Town → Luwo Mountain Ruins → Luoqian Peninsula (Tianjing Pavilion, Luoqian Tower) → Xiaoputuo → Wenbi Village → Ideal State. ⏰Tips: This is usually the last stop on the Haidong line around the lake. If you like taking photos, be sure to reserve 2 hours, and it takes more than 1 hour to drive from here to the ancient city.
