The Wild Pigeon Party Hall is full of colorful lights outside, giving people a starry feeling. The environment inside is decorated strangely, and a pair of "wild pigeon" wings are so eye-catching. It is a good place for people to be fearless and release themselves. The iced watermelon juice is slightly sweet and cool. I like it! The boss is kind and easy to talk to. If you have any needs, just ask and provide the greatest convenience for the guests. The first singer has a high-pitched voice, and each song is more beautiful than the last. The second one ushered in a warm singer with a very sensational voice. It is particularly comfortable to listen to him sing. The love songs are deeply touching. He is named "Love Song Prince"! The third singer's appearance is okay, but his voice is very dry... From 8 to 11 o'clock, there are constant excitement, the stage colors are constantly changing, colorful and romantic, one show per hour, a total of three shows, guests can order songs at will, it is easy to make friends, and sing together when happy.
What's a trip to Dali without experiencing the tipsy nightlife?!
I've been to this bar three nights in a row!✅
🎶Every night, there's a super atmospheric live performance, and the singers are both talented and good-looking 😉
🍹The cocktails are really good, but as someone who can't hold their liquor, I prefer the [Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon] and [V8] 😌
💡Tips:
🕙Opening hours start at 3:00 PM, and it gets crowded in the evening. After 9:00 PM, it's prime time, so get there early to get a good seat.😊
Spending a night in Dali with friends at the Wild Pigeon Folk Bar, listening to folk music and enjoying a few drinks, just soaking up the cozy and romantic atmosphere, is truly wonderful! #DaliNightlife #DaliBar #WildPigeon #DaliFood

I went there with my sisters. I have never been to a bar in Shanghai. After all, I felt that I could experience a different life in a different city. It is said that this bar is quite famous, so I came here because of its reputation.
There is a big sign at the door, GALA. Walk in along the alley. Wow! There is a different world inside, what a wide world. The business is so hot that new customers can't find seats. It's completely full. Come back another day! A round of passionate male singers' singing has ended. After a short break, another round of passionate female singers' singing has begun. Don't blink! The singing quality is so high that it is so colorful and brilliant that I can't help but give it a thumbs up! The fat man in black has a strong voice, which is unique in my life. He switches a group of singers every half an hour. The rhythm is too fast! Once you come here, you will be impressed. Such a place is easy to remember.

Stayed in the hotel for three days. The environment is good, the service is good, everyone is kind and amiable, the room attendant is more serious and responsible, the mineral water is kept at 8 bottles every day, I drank a few bottles during the day, and found that it was replenished when I turned down the bed after going out. In other hotels, we have to buy water to drink, but here we have enough. The coffee of various flavors is also delicious. The Erhai Lake scenery is unobstructed, and the surrounding area is also beautiful. I will come again next time
The window offers a panoramic view of the Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake and the city. The Starry Sky Bar on the 25th floor is my favorite. The bartender is very skilled. I ordered two cocktails that were quite authentic.

The most beautiful hotel in Dali that you can't miss. What a magical place is Sugar Cube. It is the almost empty sugar cube jar in the slow-rock bar at night. Under the illumination of the light, it presents colorful dark colors. It is a very suitable bar for young people. The environment is still very good.
In the basement below the hotel, the decoration is very modern, there are small private rooms, you can also sit at the bar, and those who can't drink can try non-alcoholic cocktails, which is very good

The "Inspirational Rose Sparkling Water" at Feisi Tavern is a highlight. This creative drink cleverly combines the fragrance of roses with the freshness of sparkling water. After taking a sip, you feel as if you are in a rose garden, which is refreshing.

The tavern has a great atmosphere. The interior is decorated with warm yellow lights, and there are mood lights on the sofas. There are also uniquely designed small wooden tables and oil lamp humidifiers on the wine tables. Each table is full of details.
Who went to Zhao Lei's Jim's restaurant in Dali for the sake of feelings and songs? 🙋♀️ It was me!
📍 Location: Jim's Restaurant (in Dali Ancient Town, you can find it by navigation)
On the second night in Dali, I decided to stay here! How should I put it? If you come here for food, you may need to adjust your expectations a little bit~ 😅
🍽️ About eating:
* The taste of the dishes we ordered was quite satisfactory, not amazing, and it was the kind of "not bad but not unforgettable".
* The price is acceptable in the scenic area.
🍻 About drinking:
* Here comes the point! The price of alcoholic beverages... um... a little expensive! 💰
* A normal bottle of beer costs 78, and Fenghuaxueyue costs more than 50 (it is indeed a bit high for a restaurant, it's the price of a bar).
* I looked at the drunk guy in my group and silently held my wallet tightly... I didn't dare to drink 😂 (the rationality of the wallet warrior!)
🎤But!!! Here comes the point!!! **
The listening experience is really amazing! 💥💥💥 Highly recommended! Must recommend! Five-star recommendation! **
* The atmosphere on site is superb! The lighting and layout are very impressive, and you will be immersed in it in one second.
* The resident singers are of high standard! 🎤 Good singing skills, great song selection, especially folk songs, so flavorful! I feel that my soul has been washed by the singing~ (When Zhao Lei's songs sounded, who knows!)
* Really, just for this singing and atmosphere, I think it is completely worth the price! Even worth it! I won't get tired of sitting there all night.

The audience was very quiet and spoke in low voices. The performance was mainly folk songs, and the design of sitting on the floor was also very interesting.
When the pressures of life feel overwhelming, why not embark on a solo journey to discover distant places that heal the soul? Today, I'll share four cities perfect for a solitary escape, each one offering a peaceful escape where you can find your true self. 💕
Dali, Yunnan: A carefree time amidst the beauty of nature.
"The Cangshan Mountains are a painting imbued with ink for eternity, while the Erhai Lake is a zither untouched for eternity." Dali, a city kissed by sunshine and gentle breezes, embodies the most relaxing and poetic of moments.
- Erhai Lake Circumnavigation: Rent an electric scooter and stroll along the ecological corridor. The breeze carries the refreshing coolness of the lake, while you watch the cloud shadows shatter into specks of light across the surface. When you're tired, stop under the old locust tree at the Caicun Wharf, buy a piece of milk fan shaqi ma, and watch the fishing boats slowly glide across the water, slowing down time. - Sit back and relax in the ancient city: Avoid the main streets and wander into the alleys. Bask in the sun in the courtyard of the "September" cafe, watching the proprietress watering the flowers and playing with the cats. Or squat on the cobblestones of Renmin Road, listen to street singers sing folk songs, and occasionally chat with strangers sitting next to you. Don't try too hard, just feel free.
- Daydream in Xizhou: The rice paddies of early summer are dazzling green. Walk along the ridges and listen to the rustling of rice ears. When you feel tired, sit on the doorstep of an old Bai house and take a bite of freshly baked Xizhou baba - the sweet rose fragrance of the filling blends with the aroma of wheat, filling your mouth with a sense of peace and happiness.
Kyoto, Japan: A blend of ancient charm and tranquility
Kyoto is like an open old book, each page telling a gentle story of time, perfect for a leisurely read alone.
Watching the Clouds at Kiyomizu-dera Temple: Kiyomizu-dera Temple is least crowded in the early morning. Standing on the wooden Kiyomizu stage, you can watch the morning mist slowly dissipate towards Arashiyama, the distant rooftops blending into a single, inky hue. Even your breath becomes gentle. Toss a coin and make a wish. The gentle ringing of the bells seems to carry away your worries.
Wandering in Gion: The afternoon light and shadows dapple the Hanami-koji Path. Kimono-clad women walk by, their skirts lifted. The sound of their wooden clogs on the stone pavement is crisp and melodious. Turn into the alley's end at "Saryo Tsujiri," order a matcha warabimochi (a type of cake), and watch the shadows of maple trees fall on the tatami mats outside the window. You won't feel bored if you spend the entire afternoon there.
Listening to the Wind in Arashiyama: Sunlight filters through the bamboo forest paths, casting tiny specks of gold. The wind rustles the leaves, like someone humming a song in your ear. Walk to Togetsukyo Bridge and buy a taiyaki (fish-yaki). The moment you bite into it, the sweet red bean paste blends with the refreshing mountain breeze, leaving you feeling soft and tender.
Iceland: A Soulful Exile Amidst Natural Wonders
In Iceland, the vastness of the world makes worries seem light, perfect for confiding your thoughts to the wilderness and the stars.
- Chasing the Lights on the Golden Circle: Watching the geysers erupt, the plumes of hot water burst through the ground, like the earth breathing deeply. Standing at the edge of the rift valley in Thingvellir National Park, feet on the junction of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates, it's as if you can hear the pulse of the deep earth. The spray from Gullfoss splashes on your face, cooling and refreshing—it turns out the power of nature truly can heal a frost-worn heart.
- Meditation on the Black Beach: Basalt columns stand like silent giants by the sea, waves crashing against the black sand, creating a deep rumble. Sitting on the rocks, daydreaming, watching seabirds fly across the water in the distance, suddenly feels like all your obsessions have become insignificant in this world.
- Soaking in the Blue Lagoon: Immerse yourself in the milky-blue hot springs, the warm water rising to your shoulders, surrounded by a vast expanse of white steam and wilderness. Apply a silica mud mask and look up at the clouds drifting slowly across the sky. In that moment, there's only wind, water, and a relaxed breath.
Chiang Mai, Thailand: A leisurely time in a small northern Thai city
Chiang Mai is like a glass of iced butterfly pea flower water, refreshing and gentle, allowing you to live your life like prose poetry.
- Seeking Zen in the Ancient City: Early morning, visit Wat Phra Singh and watch the monks walk barefoot through the long corridors, their chanting flowing like water through your heart. Sit down on a cushion in a corner, the sunlight filtering through the stained glass windows warming you, and your distracting thoughts quietly dissipate.
- Wandering Nimman Haemin Road: Order mango sticky rice at Mango Tango and sit outside to watch the people pass by—men in floral shirts, backpackers with dreadlocks, children chasing their dogs, everyone living life to the fullest. Turn into Artisan for a bar of handmade soap; the fragrance is a reminder of time slowing down. - Viewing the city from Doi Suthep: As you ascend the mountain in a songthaew, the wind mingles with the fragrance of grass and trees. Standing on the terrace of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, you'll see the ancient city of Chiang Mai spread out like a chessboard at the foot of the mountain, its red-tiled roofs gleaming in the sun. Buy a skewer of grilled squid and enjoy it while waiting for sunset, until the distant lights come on, and your heart warms.
Solo travel is a conversation with yourself and a healing experience. In these cities, slow down and savor every scene, every beauty. I believe you'll gain a lot from your journey and rediscover your vibrant self. 💖
