Dali is a stop worth making a special stop amid the wind, flowers, snow, and moon. Three days and two nights, between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, encounter Dali's unique atmosphere.
The first impression Dali gives is almost always from Cangshan. When it truly appears before your eyes, the imagination in the picture suddenly gains weight, and the journey officially begins from that moment.
When it comes to Dali, locals usually first mention Erhai Lake. Only after experiencing it do you realize that landmarks are never isolated scenery, but the gateway to an entire section of life.
Another side of Dali is hidden within the double corridors. With less crowding from tourists and more daily warmth, you suddenly feel like you've briefly become a person here.
If you have the energy, visit the ancient city. There are no standard answers there, only your own pace, which fits your itinerary perfectly.
Dali taught me one thing: you don't have to chase after every scenic spot, just as Cangshan taught me—the best scenery is always where you're willing to stop and look at it carefully.
