Dali Redwood and Seagull Essence Route! Check this out

✨A Romantic Encounter Between Dali's Winter Redwoods and Seagulls Best time to see the redwoods: Mid-November to mid-December every year 🪽 Best time to see the seagulls: Mid-November to February every year 📍Chongyi Village · Healing Trail (Photo 18) 🌅 Recommended because: Compared to the crowded Longkan Pier, this place is a hidden gem! You can enjoy the entire redwood forest alone without worrying about crowds in your photos 👯 ✅ Navigation: Full Moon West Tower (Tips: The best time to shoot is before 10 AM when the light is soft and there are fewer people!) 📍Majiu Village: Dense Seagulls (Photos 3, 4, 5) Recommended because: You can interact closely with seagulls by holding bread crumbs. A quiet, less crowded pier! There are plenty of seagulls at any time, perfect for those who don’t want to get up early but still want to feed seagulls. ✅ Navigation: Haixili Homestay Nearby route: Majiu Village - Shuangyuan Creek - Fumei Village - Xiabopeng 📍Shuangyuan Creek · Redwood Forest (Photos 6, 7, 8, 15) Recommended because: A hidden creek deep in the ecological corridor! The water is crystal clear, and when the redwoods on both sides turn red, it feels like stepping into a Monet painting 🎨. 📍Fumei Village · Redwood Beach Forest (Photos 9, 10, 11, 12) Recommended because: A treasure spot with few people and beautiful scenery—seagulls circle the redwood forest on the beach in the afternoon, the redwood leaves turn caramel and brick red, reflecting in the clear Erhai Lake like a flowing oil painting. ✅ Navigation: Fumei Village Erhai Beach 📍Longkan Pier · Seagull Letters (Photo 2) 🌅 Recommended because: The redwood forest and seagulls framed together in the early morning mist feel like entering an ink painting! At sunrise, golden light spills over the lake, and the moment seagulls skim the water is breathtaking 📸 💯 Best choice for sunrise: Longkan Pier 💡 Tips: Get up early, queue before 7:00 AM at the seagull viewing spot as it gets very crowded. The most seagulls appear between 7:30-8:30 AM, and after 9 AM they fly away full. ✅ Navigation: Sunshine Convenience Store (Huanhaixi Road) 📍Covered Bridge · Slow Flow of Time (Photos 13, 14, 16, 17) 🛶 Recommended because: The covered bridge at Longkan is an excellent spot to watch the sunset! Few tourists, sitting on the bench by the bridge daydreaming until the last ray of sunlight disappears behind the mountain, truly experiencing Dali’s “slow life”~ ❣️ Recommended most beautiful café: Tianye Coffee A French-style building surrounded by redwoods, every window view is like an oil painting. ✅ Navigation: Covered Bridge Parking Lot 📝 Practical Tips ✅ Transportation: Self-driving/renting electric bikes or bicycles inside the corridor/tour buses (There are checkpoints inside the corridor; outside electric bikes and bicycles are not allowed in) ✅ Outfit: During redwood season, it’s recommended to wear white/light-colored clothes paired with a scarf or beret for better photos. Dali’s winter is a healing color palette of redwood red, seagull white, and sky blue 💙❤~ 🈯 If you have places in Dali you want to visit, leave me a message in the comments~
