- Dali
The history of the ancient city of Dali can be traced back to the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty. The current ancient city was built in the 15th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1382). There is a moat outside the ancient city. There are walls around the ancient city, with a gate in the east, west, south and north. , all have towers and turrets at the four corners.
The city runs from south to north, with a main street running through it, and deep streets and alleys crisscrossing it from west to east. The whole city’s uniform clear tile roofs and cobblestone walls show the simplicity, chic and elegance of the ancient city.
- Xizhou Bai Folk Houses + Yan Family Courtyard
The Xizhou Bai residential complex is located in Xizhou Town, Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It borders Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west. A famous historical and cultural town in the southwestern frontier of China.
Beautiful scenery and rich natural products. The famous Butterfly Spring is located here, and the famous Chinese and foreign movie “Five Golden Flowers” was filmed here. The typical layout is the closed courtyard with “three squares and one screen wall” and “four in five patios”.
Yanjiayuan is located at No. 1 Fuchunli, Sifang Street, Xizhou Town Office. It was built in 1919 by Yan Zizhen, a famous national capitalist in Xizhou.
- Erhai Lake
Erhai Lake has endless sentiments, which will make people come with eternal longing and leave with endless nostalgia. It seems that the water of Erhai Lake has a unique charm that either refuses to let you leave or makes you never forget it.
In Shuanglang, the word sentiment seems to be overused, but even so, people still feel her bourgeoisie, romance and beauty.
- Lijiang Dayan Ancient Town
Dayan Town’s thoughts are on the earth, and its thoughts are its life and days. The stone streets give off a cool brilliance under the moonlight. It has no strict city walls and no intersecting roads. It shows the characteristics of being close to mountains and rivers and being natural and simple, creating a harmonious and unified realm between man and nature.
- Lugu Lake (recommended)
If you ask me where is the most beautiful place in this trip, then I will definitely say—Lugu Lake. Even though the weather and road conditions were so bad, the 8-hour journey of 200 kilometers never gave up my desire to see her mysterious face. Lugu Lake has an indescribable oriental temperament. Even if the scenery on the road is stunningly beautiful, when you really see Lugu Lake, you will not be disappointed. The color of the lake, the tranquility, really It’s about keeping the clouds clearing to see the moonlight, pushing aside the clouds and mist along the way, climbing over countless mountains, and traveling through wind and rain, but only there, Lugu Lake, is quiet, like a fairyland outside the world, waiting for you to come.
- Shangri-La (recommended)
- Songzanlin Temple
Gaden Songzanlin Monastery is the largest Tibetan Buddhist temple in Yunnan Province and is known as the “Little Potala Palace”.
The temple architecture embodies the essence of Tibetan religious culture. The architecture is magnificent, with gold-plated copper tiles in rich and colorful shapes, the cornices of the temple are kissed by beasts, and the Zhacang Hall is spacious and magnificent.
- Pudacuo National Forest Park
Shangri-la
Pudacuo National Park has mirror-like mountain lakes, pastures with beautiful water and abundant grass, wetlands with blooming flowers, and primeval forests where birds and animals often roam.
In addition, there are many unique small sceneries such as fault cliffs, forest brooks, and deep canyons criss-crossed.
There are also many rare birds and animals in the Pudacuo National Park Nature Reserve. There are mainly black-necked cranes, national first-class protected animals, macaques, lynx, clouded leopards, etc., second-class protected animals.
I heard that Zhang Jie and Xie Na’s wedding was also held here.
- Baima Snow Mountain and Balagezong Grand Canyon
Baima Snow Mountain is located in Deqin County, Yunnan Province. Looking from a distance, the main peak covered with snow all year round looks like a galloping white horse, hence the name “Baima Snow Mountain”. In the Baima Snow Mountain in summer, the ice and snow melt, mountains and rivers flow everywhere, and the rhododendrons bloom brilliantly, which makes people feel relaxed and fascinated.
It took us two hours to arrive at the Balagezong Grand Canyon, but we were obviously attracted by the canyons on the way. The cacti on the cliffs occupied the territory willfully and were embedded crookedly on the stone walls. We could not have imagined such a climate. So many cacti can grow in the environment, and the tributaries of the Jinsha River are also here. The arrogant “roar” and rapid galloping are simply domineering.
- Moonlight Plaza
After dinner, I walked to Moonlight Square and watched the Tibetans dancing the local square dance. It was so lively. Many Tibetan guys who looked like students danced along with them. Their skilled steps and graceful dance postures were not inferior to those of girls.
Guishan Park is an attraction in the ancient city of Dukezong. It has the largest prayer wheel in the world. It is said that people who turn it three times will gain peace and happiness. So I recited my wish and prayed sincerely, blessing silently.
- Tiger Leaping Gorge
from
Shangri-la
Back to Kunming, the scenic spot we want to visit on the way back is Tiger Leaping Gorge. Tiger Leaping Gorge, famous all over the world for its “danger”, is one of the deepest canyons in China. Tiger Leaping Gorge Yes
Shangri-la
Duanhe Lijiang Duanhe is divided into
Shangri-la
Tiger Leaping Gorge is a national AAAA-level tourist scenic spot, which includes upper, middle and lower Tiger Leaping Gorge.
The broad and mighty river seems to become furious when it encounters the squeeze and obstruction of dangerous cliffs. It gathers strength and continuously attacks the cliffs. The waves surge, waterfalls soar into the sky, the empty valley roars, and the sound shakes the valley. The waves at the bottom of the river cracked the banks, and the mountain springs at the head of the river gushed out.
