Today I went to a mountain road near the Three Pagodas Temple. There were few people and the scenery was beautiful. I should be able to shoot a popular video, but unfortunately I don't know how to shoot. I also saw a rainbow on the way back. I stayed in a small courtyard by the Erhai Lake. The terrace overlooked the Erhai Lake. The breeze was refreshing. I liked to sit on it and drink tea.
I went to Dali Bohai Sea, and it really felt like I broke into a fairyland on earth! Cycling along the lake, the wind blows, it is called a comfortable, the lake is sparkling, like a sprinkling of broken gold. Cangshan Mountain in the distance is continuous, and it is matched with Bohai Sea. No matter how you shoot it, you can shoot it. Passing by the village, you can see the leisurely life of the locals, full of fireworks. Staying there, all the troubles were thrown out of the cloud, it was really healing, I can stay here for a lifetime!

Lugu Lake is beautiful, but the entrance fee is inexplicable. There are said to be many ways to evade the entrance fee, so why do they charge it? What kind of service does the scenic spot provide for the 70 yuan? None. Cars are parked randomly, there are no parking spaces, and garbage is left everywhere. Don't waste such a beautiful natural resource. And all other attractions still require separate tickets.
A soul-stirring experience at Lugu Lake! Climb aboard the Mosuo people's unique pig trough boats, and you'll feel like you've become part of this landscape painting. The waters are crystal clear, and the oars slice through the emerald waves, creating a tranquil and soothing experience. The boatman, a warm and friendly man, steers the boat steadily while introducing Mosuo culture and interesting stories about the lake, like an old friend. As the boat sails through the center of the lake, surrounded by mountains, the blue sky and white clouds reflected in the water are breathtakingly beautiful! This is an unmissable experience to experience the pristine charm of Lugu Lake and the Mosuo culture, and it's absolutely worth the price of admission! 🌙

Fuxian Lake has been quite popular in recent years. Real estate tycoons have long surrounded the area, building numerous health and wellness projects. I wonder how sales are performing now.
The overall environment is quite pleasant, with mountains and water, the hills covered with tobacco trees, and a small temple overlooking the lake.
There are many farmhouses near the lake, and the fish is excellent and spicy.
Fuxian Lake is a hidden gem in Yunnan. Its waters are so clear that you can see pebbles ten meters underwater. When sunlight shines on the lake, the waves ripple with shimmering golden light, a breathtaking beauty.
Walking along the lake, reeds sway in the wind, white birds fly across the water, and the blue-tiled, white-walled houses on the shore exude a quaint charm. As you sail toward the center of the lake, the water gradually transforms from light blue to a deep blue, creating a feeling of being transported to a world of glass.
Here, free from the hustle and bustle of over-the-top commercialism, lies the tranquility of fishing boats singing in the evening and the refreshing mountain breeze. Whether you sit by the lake and meditate or dive underwater to explore the ruins of the ancient Dian Kingdom, you can experience the unique charm of nature and history intertwined together, making it a perfect place to purify your soul.

It would have been quite convenient to walk from Gantong to Xima Cao and then pay the 50 yuan per person difference to take the cable car down the mountain, but now you have to climb 1,200 steps to get to Xima Cao, which is a bummer. They are currently building another staircase or elevator nearby, so it may be improved in the future.
The cable car is the first choice for parent-child travel. The pool water is much clearer. The queue for the battery car in Longmen Scenic Area is too long, so I gave up decisively. It is still necessary to walk around Nie Er's Tomb after getting off the cable car.

It's not a big park, a very ordinary park. We finished the tour in less than an hour. I don't recommend it. There is nothing fun. The scenery is OK, but it has no special features. It's boring for a few people to visit. There are additional charges for boat rides and horseback riding.
This trip was incredibly good value for money, and the crowds weren't too large! Lunch was even included, which was simple but clean and delicious. I had a great time chatting with the horse-drawn carriage driver. The natural surroundings were beautiful and quiet.

It is worth going there. The morning explanation is good. It only takes 3 minutes to get there by cruise ship, and it takes about 40 minutes to go around the inside. There is no need to waste money on the battery car.
Shuanglang Ancient Town is located on the northeast bank of the Bohai Sea, Dali, Yunnan, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea. It has the reputation of "Dali scenery in Cangwu, Cangwu scenery in Shuanglang". Bohai Sea is surrounded by the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain, and Jizu Mountain is in the east. The lakes and mountains are beautiful. 85% of the residents are Bai people, retaining more than ten historical relics such as the main temple of Hongshan, the ancient stage, and the traditional houses are dense.

Beihai Wetland Park offers stunning scenery. On a good day, the blue sky and white clouds are reflected beautifully in the water. The park offers activities like bamboo rafting, grass rafting, and water bikes, so it's worth buying a combined ticket.
A wetland park. My friend took me to a nearby farmhouse for dinner. It was delicious. The kids had a lot of fun playing water activities. We encountered heavy rain during the trip. It was good to have a place to hide in the park.

[View] Nanxun style island is a pearl of the Bohai Sea. The island not only has the "Daughter of Bohai" cast bronze sculpture, "Sand Mother" bronze sculpture and stone pillars and other humanistic landscapes, but also enjoys the scenery of the sky. [Fun] Here, you can feel the charm of nature and the unique style of Nanxun culture, it is a good place worth visiting.
Stepping on Nanxun style island is like stepping into a paradise that is gentle by the years. The island is shaded by trees, flowers are blooming, and the fresh air is filled with the fragrance of grass and trees. Walking along the roundabout trail, the wind of the Bohai Sea gently brushed the cheeks and sent the breath of the lake. In the distance, the Cangshan Mountains, and the sparks of the Bohai Sea are against each other, the picture of the landscape is beautiful and makes people move beautifully, and the time has become slow and comfortable, and every second is intoxicating.

[August Xizhou Ancient Town: In the rice fields and Bai customs, meet the romance of summer] August Xizhou Ancient Town is a treasure land filled with greenery and fireworks! Less than half an hour's drive from the ancient city of Dali, just got off the bus and was surprised by the endless rice fields at the entrance of the village. The green rice waves undulating with the wind, and some egrets passed by. The blue sky and white clouds lined the white tiles and white walls of the Bai people's houses. No wonder everyone runs here with their cameras. Time in the ancient town is very slow. The stone road is winding and twisting, and there are intact Bai old houses on both sides. The darts and the carved doors and windows are all exquisite. Walking in is like breaking into the time museum. The key point is to praise the Yanjia Courtyard, not only to see the exquisiteness of Bai architecture, but also to understand the history of Xizhou business gangs. The pomegranate trees in the yard are full of fruits, especially the atmosphere of life. In August, just in time for the local fruit peak season! The roadside stalls are full of yellow figs, sweet grapes, and freshly picked blueberries, affordable and fresh. Of course, Xizhou is indispensable. It is recommended to bake sweet mouths (rose filling) and salted mouths (pork end), the outer skin is crispy and the inner is soft, with a cup of milk fan Shaqima, and the carbide is happy to be directly full. I found a small shop by the river and sat down to eat, watched the flowing water, listened to the locals chatting in dialect. It's so pleasant. In the afternoon, you can rent a bicycle to ride along the rice fields, blow the wind through the fields, pass the villagers' vegetable fields and ponds, and feel the most simple pastoral scenery. In the evening, the light on the edge of the rice field became soft, taking pictures with filters, and many newcomers took wedding photos here, which was very romantic. The only thing to note is that it is a bit sun-dried in the afternoon of August, remember to do a good job of sun protection; there are a little more tourists on the main street of the ancient town, but you can find a cleanliness when you turn into the alley, suitable for slowly shaking. Overall, Xizhou does not have the hustle and bustle of Dali Ancient City, but has more idyllic and humanistic heritage. Come here in August, like putting the beauty of the whole summer in your hands, recommend it to friends who want to slow down and feel Dali ～
Well, the entire Dali Erhai Lake circle is about 80 kilometers long, and you will pass through many ancient towns in the middle, such as Xizhou Ancient Town. At the same time, there will be a lot of people renting cars, and you can also see many luxury cars. But you should pay attention to whether you choose to tour clockwise or counterclockwise. Sometimes, there will be more traffic jams in one direction.

Today I went to the Ancient Tea Horse Road Ruins Park with the children. We saw Capibara, the Yuying performance, and the alpaca scenery. It was very beautiful and everyone had a great time.
The Ancient Tea Horse Road Ruins Park is worth a visit. Dingbo Lake is beautiful. The kids loved the 1314 Rainbow Cable Car. The view from the cable car is stunning. The staff were also very friendly. It rained heavily on the way down, so we had dinner halfway up the mountain. It was very affordable.
