Dali, Duan.
A friend said that he liked the name very much, and the pronunciation between his lips and teeth was crisp and tactful. One yang refers to the six-pulse Excalibur, and Jin Yong gives the world a martial arts dream, in which Dali is like camellia.
Walking in the streets of Dali ancient city and looking around blankly, I stubbornly searched for my sword and vagueness and freedom.
I got off the train at Shimonoseki and just got out of the carriage, I felt the cold wind at Shimonoseki. The wind is not mild at all. The wind was accompanied by rain, and all the thick clothes were put on, but we still couldn't help shivering, which really surprised us.
Erhai boat goes upstream.
I had a quick breakfast. According to the plan, the first stop is Erhai Lake.
Erhai Lake was called Ye Yuyang in ancient times, and it was named after many elms. It is also called "Kunming River" and "Xi 'er River", and it was named after its ear shape. Compared with Dianchi Lake in Kunming, the water in Erhai Lake is clear and transparent. It is said that in order to ensure the cleanliness of Erhai Lake, the tourism department has imposed strict restrictions on motorboats in the water. Therefore, except for a few prescribed tourist boats and small manually operated fishing boats, it is difficult to see small motorboats braving black smoke and suddenly making noise passing by.
Open the window of the hut and look at Erhai Lake outside. It's a gray sky outside. The light rain is much softer because it is separated from the wind in Shimonoseki. Although it is impossible to see the blue sky, in a misty rain, I saw those rushing clouds, which are mysterious and constantly changing graphics. The rolling mountains are shrouded in fog. The white Bai buildings on the shore are shadowy and reflected in the green lake. Occasionally, a boat floats by.
I watched a song and dance performance on the boat and tasted the famous three tea. Their explanation is very interesting, "one bitter, two sweet and three aftertaste". Unconsciously, they gave birth to the philosophy of being a man. Watching the songs and dances performed by Bai girls and boys and drinking three mouthfuls of tea with a long aftertaste, although it is still cloudy outside, my heart has begun to clear up: life is generally like this, and it is important to keep inner peace and calmness regardless of rain or shine.
Cangshan Wu Yun
Cangshan Mountain is the highest point in Dali. Go to dali must go to Cangshan, overlooking Erhai Lake and the ancient city of Dali.
After the misty rain, take the cable car up the mountain. The cable car passes through the clouds of Cangshan Mountain, and the clouds emerge from the mountain stream from time to time. For example, the white handkerchiefs on the heads of Bai teenagers surround Cangshan peaks, and Cangshan Grand Canyon enjoys a panoramic view. Sitting on the cable car, through the dense pine forest and miscellaneous shrubs, in the misty clouds, I feel like a fairy, and gradually have a fairy mood.
When I got off the cable car, I arrived in Qingbi Stream. As the name suggests, this stream is clear and green. It is a deep pool, but I can still see it in the end. Water flows down from the upstream and winds its way to Erhai Lake. Looking down from the cable car, the stream runs through Cangshan Mountain like a narrow jade belt, connecting Erhai Lake. You can't help but sigh: one side of the soil and water support one side, and Erhai Lake is next to the beautiful Cangshan Mountain.
Because it just rained, we were lucky enough to see Cangshan Waterfall. Although there is no heroic spirit flying down thousands of feet, it also adds heroic spirit to Cangshan. As a beginner in photography, I just took this opportunity to practice, so I walked on the mountain road and took pictures all the way. The picture is grand, tortuous or low, but it has become the most beautiful scenery in my eyes.
Ancient city calmly
Now that I think about it, the ancient city of Dali gives me a better feeling than Lijiang, although it is far from the simplicity and momentum of Lijiang in terms of scale and housing construction.
I like the kind of casual and relaxed that the ancient city of Dali gave me: the wide bluestone road, the old house covered with moss, the elegant and beautiful flowers and plants in the courtyard, the running water in front of the door, the treetops fluttering in the wind, the Bai aunts baking chest fans, the young man shopping with his children in his arms, the little girl selling flowers, and the Bai aunts tying and dyeing the stalls with needle and thread.
I think compared with Old Town of Lijiang, which has been completely commercialized, Dali has its own calmness and calmness.
Walking in Dali, you can walk at will without being disturbed by the surrounding commercial air. You can measure the ancient street with your feet at will, or you can take a bait stick or a unique milk fan from the street corner stall and eat it while walking. You can browse a random book in the bookstore, or simply do nothing, just be a idle person, in the autumn sunshine.
Foreigner Street is another landscape. When urbanization becomes the dominant mode of human society, some people yearn for pastoral, simplicity, relaxation and their own scenery. Dali's randomness and calmness provided them with conditions. Walking in foreigner street, you can see a foreigner in an old man's shirt riding a tricycle across the street, followed by a Bai boy who helped him push the cart. You can see an old couple from Europe, sitting in front of a blue plaid table all afternoon, a casual book and a newspaper, lazily bathing in the autumn sunshine; You can see that tall American girl is still wearing a halter top and looking aimlessly with a backpack.
As night falls, the quiet ancient city is decorated with soft lights, flowing music and faint flowers. I don't know why, once the tourists from south to north set foot on the ancient city, they seem to become less noisy and impetuous and walk quietly on the stone road. Although I am in a foreign land, I am not disappointed at home. They only heard their own footsteps, making a slight echo in the quiet street.
Tasty Dali
Make a menu first:
Casserole fish, hot and sour fish (crucian carp is made of papaya), Dali bait block, cold chicken rice noodles, frozen fish, Nanjian pot croton powder, fine bean flour fritters, casserole tofu, minced fish milk fan, minced shrimp milk fan, snail, snail yellow, hawthorn, quick-kneading bait, small pot rice noodles and shortbread.
When eating in Dali, you must not try to taste all the delicious food at once. You should live slowly, walk slowly and eat slowly.
skill
We should respect the customs and habits of the Bai people.
Dali is sunny and windy, so you need to prepare sunscreen products and sunglasses.
There are many special snacks in Dali, so we should pay attention to hygiene.
You must shop around to buy handicrafts in Dali.
It is everyone's responsibility to care for the environment and protect Erhai Lake.
Lazy people in Dali
Dali laziness comes from Duan. Duan Yu this guy is too early, muddling along, make "Excalibur of Six Veins" "Why is this happening, it is really puzzling", which makes the spirit ineffective and doesn't go into it. I'm really too lazy to do it.
After reading this paragraph, slacking off in Dali is also the tradition of our ancestors, and you can probably get a wonderful idea here: the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain are just around the corner, and I'm afraid you can't swim for a month or two. In that case, I'd better just look at clouds and clouds lazily; Xiaguan wind blows through people's hearts, but it can be ten miles away. Besides, altitude sickness is serious and your health is not good, so it's better not to touch it. Erhai Lake is very big, and local boatmen are soliciting quotations every day, but the price of a just heart is outrageous, so I'd better listen to "white" Mandarin lazily.
Therefore, at least three guys in Dali can be lazy to itch: one is the creaking carriage, the other is the warm sunshine, and the third is the bird bar and the lazy book bar. Really, this is the essence of Dali.
Lazy people's book bar and bird bar, the two most partial positions in foreigner street, exude the unique flavor of Dali, so that many people equate the ancient city of Dali with lazy people and birds. I believe that there may only be one favorite bar in a person's life, but I was lucky to find two in Dali. Sometimes I really want to give up one, but I often can't help but walk out of the lazy people and step into the bird.
