[2025 Dali ] Travel Guide for Cat Rice Garden (Updated Apr)

👍🏻 Recommendation: Promise me you won't miss the Maomi Garden! 🌷 It's peak rose season, and every shot is a masterpiece, frame after frame of breathtaking beauty! Don't let the garden's modest size fool you; it's a magical kingdom of flowers and trees, home to tens of thousands of varieties🌳. Here, the joy of flower viewing and photography lasts forever. Spend a relaxing and pleasant afternoon here without ever getting bored. It's a real-life Monet's Garden, overflowing with romance💯! If you're planning a May Day trip to Dali, this hidden gem is definitely at the top of your must-visit list! 🗺Attraction Introduction: Maomi Garden is a photographer's paradise, with an incredibly high photogenic rate📸! • Rose Wall: As you step into the garden, the dreamy pink rose walls on both sides will catch your eye🌸. Stand in front of the flower wall, or sit lazily on a chair, surrounded by fragrant flowers, and feel the atmosphere. Everyone who takes a picture here looks like a flower fairy🧚‍♀️. (ps: The best time to shoot is in the morning; in the afternoon, the backlight prevents the light from reaching the wall, so you won't get that stunning effect.) • Coffee Shop: The coffee shop has a famous "Monet's Window"🪟. Gently push open the window from inside, and a garden overflowing with flowers will instantly come into view. Every glance is a beautiful painting. Order a cup of aromatic coffee, sit by the window, and casually press the shutter to capture high-quality photos. • Rose Corridor: The rose corridor, stretching for dozens of meters, is like a romantic passage to a fairy tale world. Blooming roses intertwine, forming a magnificent flower archway💐. Stroll along the corridor, and the sweet scent of flowers fills the air, as if you're in a dreamy romantic movie scene, surrounded by romance. • Flower Path: Both sides of the path are filled with colorful flowers of all kinds🌼, like nature's overturned palette. Run and play freely here, and every photo you take will look like it's straight out of a spring painting, full of life and vitality. • Feather Grass Ocean: The fluffy feather grass is incredibly soft🌾. As the breeze blows, it sways gently, like ripples in a green ocean, full of dreams and romance. It looks great no matter how you photograph it. 🚗Getting There: If you're driving, simply navigate to "Maomi Garden"📍. The garden has a dedicated free parking lot🅿️, so you don't have to worry about parking. Enjoy a smooth journey to this romantic sanctuary. 🗺Suggested Route: After entering the garden, take advantage of the good morning light and head straight to the rose wall to capture the most beautiful moments. Then, move to the coffee shop, enjoy the aroma of coffee while admiring the garden view through "Monet's Window," and take photos. Afterward, stroll along the rose corridor, immerse yourself in the romantic atmosphere, frolic on the flower path, and finally, head to the feather grass ocean to experience its unique softness and dreaminess. Don't miss any of these spots. 🍱Food Recommendations: Although Maomi Garden doesn't have any particularly famous food inside, there are many Dali specialty food shops nearby🥢! Be sure to try the local famous flower cakes, with their crispy crusts and sweet flower fillings. One bite, and the fragrance of flowers will burst on your tongue💐. There's also the smooth and chewy baitsi, served with delicious broth and rich seasonings. One bowl will fill you with happiness! 💰Fees: The ticket price is 98 yuan/person🎫. It might seem a bit expensive at first glance, but considering the stunning photos you can take here, the immersive flower viewing experience, and a whole day of happiness, it's definitely worth it! 📌Other Tips: Remember these photography tips! The morning light is perfect for taking photos of the rose wall; the backlight in the afternoon isn't ideal. The garden is open from 9:00 to 19:00. Plan your time wisely to fully enjoy the garden and avoid any regrets.

#2月好地方2025 Cats, blue sky, white clouds, and warm sunshine, this place is simply the little world in Hayao Miyazaki's animation! 🌞 There weren't many people in Maomi Garden.

When you visit Dali in summer or autumn, you must not miss the secret sea of ​​flowers. With so many gorgeous blooming flowers, being surrounded by a sea of ​​flowers feels like walking into Alice's Wonderland. Various exotic flowers and plants, water mist, cute tree houses, small buildings in cartoon shapes such as Totoro, and blue sky and white clouds make you feel like you have walked into a Hayao Miyazaki comic. Location: Maomi Garden 🎫Ticket price: 98 yuan/person (including one drink) Transportation: It is about 3km away from Dali Ancient Town. You can go there by bike or take a taxi for about 15 yuan. 🚶🏻‍♂️Play: The garden is not very big, but the details are very exquisite.

🐰 I recently went to Dali and found a niche but beautiful place, which is a private garden called Catmi Garden, where taking photos is super photogenic. . 📍Next, let me share my own experience: 🔸1, The garden is indeed very beautiful. The variety of flowers is abundant, the garden design has a good sense of hierarchy, and the color and shape blend well with the surrounding environment, along with various cottages, benches, and pavilions, it really feels like being in Alice's Manor. . 🔸2, A paradise for photography enthusiasts. If you like flowers and photography, you will definitely like it here. Any corner is enough for you to take pictures for an afternoon, and the photos turn out very well. . 🔸3, A place where you can stay all day Once you have bought a ticket, you can stay inside for the whole day. Takeout and afternoon tea can be delivered to the door and then brought in to eat, which is very user-friendly and friendly for friends who come to take photos. . 📍Although it's beautiful, I don't recommend coming recently because: 🔸1, This place is more suitable for commercial shoots. The garden is beautiful, but only with a professional camera and lens, and the right technique, can you take photos with a sense of atmosphere. For those who use mobile phones, it's just casual shooting, and it's not easy to get good photos. . 🔸2, The ticket is not cheap The ticket price of 98 yuan, I personally think is a bit expensive. If you only stay for 1 hour, it's too wasteful. You should at least stay inside for half a day, slowly stroll and slowly appreciate, to make the ticket worthwhile. . 🔸3, Autumn and winter are not the best flowering seasons When I went there, although there were still many flowers, they were not as good as in spring. If you really want to take photos, then I suggest choosing May to August, when there are more flowers in spring and summer, the colors of the flowers are more vivid, and the weather is also better. . 📍Finally, here are a few practical tips: 🔸Ticket price: 98 yuan 🔸Business hours: 9 am - 7:30 pm 🔸Wearing solid light-colored clothes is more photogenic 🔸Remember to bring some small props, such as a clear umbrella, a small flower basket, etc. 🔸The best light for photography is before 10 am and after 4 pm in the afternoon. .
