一道小馆

It seems impossible to find restaurants in Weishan that closely resemble the cuisine of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. I'm really not used to Yunnan's "food" and feel lost about what to eat. I found this restaurant online, run by a couple from Guangdong, that serves stewed longan, red dates, and peach gum. It's located on North Street, and the sweetness was just right, with a Hong Kong style flavor. One serving wasn't enough! The owner's hairstyle is very unique; online reviews unanimously describe it as having an ethereal, otherworldly air. During our chat, I learned they were from Shaoguan, so we talked about the river views there. Later, I learned they'd been running a shop in Dali for many years, but came to Weishan seeking peace and quiet, and even live on Weibaoshan Mountain. No wonder the shop is named "Yidao Xiaoguan" (meaning "A Little Restaurant") and he has that hairstyle—interesting! PS: Weibaoshan Mountain is about 10 kilometers from the ancient city. It's a famous Taoist mountain with many sights to see. Since it involves hiking, I'm debating whether to go or not.

Walking on the stone road of Weishan Ancient City, there are few people and it is peaceful. Suddenly, I feel inexplicably moved. It turns out that life can be so leisurely and comfortable, fearless. Children doing homework does not hinder the business of the small shop. You can also wash vegetables and make lunch in front of the local product shop. The pursuit of fame and fortune has nothing to do with this place. No need for whitewashing, no need for interpretation, and no need for monopoly. It is simple and unpretentious. It is so good. #2023年第一之旅
