Visit here in February! 4-day, 3-night leisure trip to Dali

Recommended destinations in February! If you don't want to spend the winter in a cold place, why not come to warm Dali! Dali is less crowded and more beautiful after the Lunar New Year, making it a great time to visit. 📆Itinerary: Day 1 Cangshan Mountain - Tianlong Babu Film Studio - Dali Ancient Town Day 2 Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple - Panxi Village, Erhai Lake - Xizhou Ancient Town Day 3 Nanzhao Island - Shuanglang Ancient Town Day 4 Shaxi Ancient Town 🚗Transportation: Self-driving or group tour recommended 🌟Highlights: ✅Cangshan Mountain: Cangshan Mountain is the first choice for hiking in Dali. The main routes include Zhonghe Cableway, Ximatan, and Gantong Cableway. The Ximatan route is the most popular. ✅Erhai Lake: Erhai Lake is a must-see. Erhai Lake is divided into two areas: Haidong and Haixi. It is about 140 km long and has almost no public transportation. It is recommended to rent a car or drive there. ✅Shuanglang: Shuanglang is located on the shore of Erhai Lake. Compared with Dali Ancient Town, it is less commercialized. If you have enough time, you can stay in a homestay to enjoy the tranquility of Erhai Lake. ✅Xizhou Ancient Town: The hometown of the movie "Five Golden Flowers" has a history of about 1,000 years. The abandoned coffee house and golden rice fields are great for taking photos. ✅Shaxi Ancient Town: A town you'll fall in love with after one visit, and a filming location of the movie "Meet Yourself". Yujin Bridge, the ancient stage, and the Xianfeng Bookstore are full of artistic vibes. 📌Travel tips: ⭕️Cangshan Mountain is about 4,000 meters above sea level. No matter what season you visit, you should bring a thick coat. It is also recommended to check the weather forecast before going up the mountain. When I went there, I only saw the outline of Ximatan. ⭕️The famous S Bay Panxi Village is located along Erhai Lake, with various homestays and cafes along the way. Order a cup of coffee and enjoy the endless view of Erhai Lake. It's so relaxing. You can also take some travel photos! ⭕️You can also visit Nanzhao Island when you go to Shuanglang Ancient Town. Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace are located here. After visiting, you can return to the ancient town to taste authentic Bai teppanyaki. It's wonderful. ⭕️Foodies visiting Xizhou Ancient Town must visit the food street. You can try Xizhou Baba at any store, as they all taste similar. Xizhou popsicles, milk fans, pea flour, and rice cakes are also worth trying. ⭕️Half Mountain Coffee in Shaxi Ancient Town is a popular check-in spot. Sitting by the window, you can see the green rice fields, which is so healing. No wonder so many people line up.
