In the warm winter, the scenery along the Miju River in Yousuo, Eryuan, Dali is beautiful. In the winter, take photos of the ancient trees here, where the scenery is unique. 🚗Transportation: A friend told me about the Miju River in Yousuo Town, Dali, where there are many ancient trees and beautiful scenery, so I decided to take a trip. Five of us set off from Dali Ancient Town, and after about an hour's drive (about 50 km), we arrived at the ancient trees of the Miju River. Since there is no specific location on the map, we explored the area between Yousuo Town and Xiashankou, where there is a place called "Daluo Bridge," which is the closest place to the ancient trees of the Miju River. It is understood that the Miju River in Dali is called the Miju River from Xiashankou (1,987 m above sea level) to Erhai Lake (1,964 m above sea level), with a total length of 22.28 km. The Miju River is divided into two branches (Luoshi River and Yongan River) from Dengchuan Bazi and flows into Erhai Lake. ✨When we arrived at the Miju River in Yousuo Town, we asked an old man who was exercising by the river, and he suggested that we walk on the east side of the river and go in the direction of "Deyuan Bridge," and said that the north direction is the best place to see the ancient trees. Also, it is better to take pictures of the ancient trees in the morning when the light is warm. Occasionally, you can also take pictures of the "starburst" against the light, which is also very good. We followed the advice of the local old man and played and took pictures along the river. The east bank of the Miju River in Yousuo Town, Dali, where we played, has a paved embankment (the west bank is a dirt embankment), which feels clean and hygienic. The ancient trees are on both sides of the embankment and are said to be hundreds of years old. Since there are utility poles and wires along the way, as well as some other low trees, it is recommended to avoid these obstructions when taking pictures, so that the ancient trees will look more beautiful. While playing by the river, we found that there are many ancient trees on both sides of the Miju River, with an average age of over 245 years. Among them, the ancient trees such as Albizia julibrissin, Pistacia chinensis, Ulmus pumila, and Celtis sinensis form the ancient tree group on both sides of the river. The trees are the veins of the sky, and Dali's healing scenery!
