Lanting Hotel Dali

[Area] 1468 km2

[Climate]

The annual average temperature is between 65438 02.2℃ and 65438 08.9℃, and the four seasons are not obvious features of Dali climate. The rainy season here is mostly concentrated in May-10. "Good scenery in March in Dali" fully shows that spring is the most suitable season for Dali tourism, and the famous "March Street" in Dali is also held at this time.

[Romantic]

This has almost become a proper term used by Dali to attract tourists. Until Shimonoseki, the wind is not real; For Dali people, the legendary "Shangguanhua" is just a reduction.

Complex memory. Snow moon is also the result of literati borrowing scenery to express their feelings. "Romance" is also used to explain the clothes worn by Bai girls. I'm afraid it's hard to figure it out.

[Folk Village]

Yesterday's Nanzhao old capital, except for the "famous literary state" building, the rest are tourists' imagination of the deceased. Local people dressed in Bai costumes walk through pop music, newly-built city walls and tourists, which inevitably makes people feel that they are approaching a newly developed folk tourism village.

[foreigner street]

Foreigner Street bears the brunt of the reconstruction of any ancient city. On the surface, it is no different from other streets, but the bars and shops inside still stubbornly adhere to their own characteristics, except for many new internet cafes.

[Five Golden Flowers]

It is the film art that makes the reputation of Bai girls spread far and wide. In the ancient city of Dali, girls dressed in improved Bai costumes may pass you by at any time, and the rich and exaggerated makeup and expressions hide too much truth. It is said that like this ancient city, it is constantly being renovated because of the needs of tourism. Leisure In the spoken language of Dali people, "leisure" means having time to sit at home, travel, go shopping and so on. A word "leisure" has a fundamental tacit understanding with the kind of "romantic love" in the bones of this city.

● Living in Dali

In addition to the tourist season, accommodation in Dali is cheap and there are many specifications to choose from. Dwellings are different from hotels. They are cheap and have a feeling of going home. Due to some historical reasons, the relationship between Dali City and the ancient city of Dali Prefecture is the most confusing. Dali City refers to the capital of Dali Prefecture, also known as Xiaguan, and the ancient city refers to Nanzhao, an ancient capital more than 30 kilometers away from the urban area. Our usual sense of tourism refers to the ancient city of Dali. For accommodation in Dali, you can log on to China Economy Hotel Reservation Network to find Dali Hotel, which is cheap and has many characteristic houses in the ancient city. Dali has many inns. The following are some recommended by many people on the Internet. Price, etc. It may have changed.

● Dali tourism

◎ Taihe City Site → Recommended Index★★

Nanzhao ancient city ruins, Nanzhao Dehua monument is the best among Tang monuments. Staying here for a while will help you know more about the history of this city.

◎ Dali Ancient City → Recommended Index ★★★★★★★

Dali Ancient City is one of the first historical and cultural cities in China, and the relatively well-preserved residential buildings are dominated by Bai style. The whole ancient city is backed by Cangshan Mountain and faces Erhai Lake. The streets in the city are distributed in a chessboard style, and the houses paved with slate on the top of Qingwa slope are of Bai architectural style. There are houses, shops, temples, museums, churches and schools in the ancient city, and traditional folk customs are still preserved. You can feel the long history and culture of Bai nationality. Although it has been repaired several times, it still retains the original pattern.

[Tips] 1. There are complete towers in the north and south of the ancient city, and there is a plaque on the door of the towering south city, which reads "a famous country in literature".

2. The ancient city of Dali is not allowed to drive, so it can be called a people-oriented city.

◎ Cangshan Erhai Lake → Recommended Index ★★★★★★★

"Xiaguanfeng, Shangguanhua, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon" are also called the four scenic spots in Dali. Qingbi Stream, the 19th peak of Cangshan Mountain, is the most famous. Qingbi Stream consists of three different pools: upper, middle and lower. The gap between the pools forms a waterfall and flows down the river. There are jasper-like gravel under the clear spring, and the mountain spring that keeps flowing is splashing. Erhai Lake Tour has always been a reserved project of Dali tourism. If you take a one-day trip to Canger, a travel agency, you can sweep the main scenic spots in Dali by land and water, which is a time-saving choice. Camellia can be taken, but the scenery of Erhai Lake is not enough.

[Tips] There are two ropeways in Shangcang Mountain: 1, Cangshan cableway goes to 60 yuan, and Qingbi Stream cableway goes to 80 yuan.

It is suggested to take the cableway first and then walk down the mountain. It is best to take the cruise ship of the shipping company, and the price and route are guaranteed. The one-day tour of Canger, a travel agency, mainly includes Erhai Park, National Museum, Guanyin Pavilion, Little Putuo, butterfly spring, Three Pagodas and Dali Ancient City. , and the "three teas" were also held on board. The cost ranges from 65,438+000 to 65,438+020 yuan, including the ship fee, three teas, a lunch and land transportation, as well as the ticket fee.

◎ butterfly spring Park → Recommended Index★★

Butterfly spring was named after the unique sight of butterflies flying in groups. But in the 1950s, he became famous with the help of the movie Five Golden Flowers. Now that spring has dried up and butterflies have disappeared, only the word "butterfly spring" written by Guo Moruo can explain something. It is human's destruction of the ecological environment that makes butterfly spring exist in name only.

[Tips] Tour Shuttle 5-8 yuan Tickets 32 yuan

◎ Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple → Recommended Index ★★★★

It used to be a symbol of Nanzhao, and now it is also a landmark attraction in Dali. The Three Pagodas were originally a part of a group of large Buddhist buildings in Nanzhao period, but due to the war and other reasons, other buildings were destroyed, leaving only three pagodas, which became the basis for future generations to mourn the history. The main tower, also known as Chihiro Tower, was built in the east, with the words "mountains and rivers in Yongzheng" engraved on it. The three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

【 Tip 】 There is no direct bus to 52 yuan, so you can take the bus to Zhoucheng and Xizhou.

Special strategy:

The scenic spots in Dali are scattered, so it is the cheapest and most convenient to travel around Dali. Can save a lot of time and money, can be completed in two days. If you are single, you will spend a lot of time waiting for the bus, looking for a car and on the road. If time is limited, you can also choose a local one-day tour, which is not expensive. Be a good person, persevere, and bargain for anything.

Dali Ancient City: I saw it for the first time in Dali. There are not many places to ponder, and you can finish it in one afternoon. You can go up and have a look at the Cheng Nan Building, but don't go in through the main entrance, because someone is guarding it, and you have to pay two yuan for the ticket. Bypass the main entrance of the tower and walk along the root of the inner wall. There are at least three exits around to the wall. The city wall is not complete, so there is no way to go west for the time being. You can't cross the east, or you can overlook the two reservoirs on the wall. You can see Erhai Lake in the distance from the city wall. It is best if there is a telephoto. Shops on the straight Fuxing Road go door to door, selling souvenirs and local specialties. There are Bunun bells and things like that, wooden plates and cloth made of linen. Everything in the supermarket is more expensive, so don't buy it if you can. There is a Shu Ren Bookstore on Fuxing Road, where you can buy the same hand-painted map as Walking Lijiang-Dali Ancient City, and the price is 6 yuan. The entrance of Dali Museum is charged, and the Christian church near the North Tower is usually closed. Dali Cultural Park is like a playground, with no tickets, no video games and no karaoke. The ancient city of Dali is very commercialized, and there are not many minority residents, which is not as good as Lijiang. The foreigner street at night is worth seeing. There are bookstores, CD shops, and of course more bars. There are not as many foreigners here as Lijiang, and the waiters' attitude towards foreigners is obviously warmer and kinder than that of China people, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Romance: Dali is really a land of feng shui, with Erhai Lake in the east and Cangshan Mountain in the west. The most famous ones are romantic flowers and snowy moon, namely Shangguan Flower, Xiaguan Wind, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon. Cangshan Mountain, also known as Diancang Mountain, is named after the lush mountains. From Shangguan in the north to Xiaguan in the south, to the shore of Erhai Lake in the east and Heihe River in the west. It is 42 kilometers long from north to south and 2 kilometers wide from east to west, with 19 peaks and 18 streams. "Clouds, snow, peaks and streams" are the four wonders of Cangshan Mountain.

If you don't take the cableway, Cangshan looks nothing from a distance.

Erhai Lake: It is named after the shape of human ears, and its momentum is like a rainbow. Erhai Lake is beautiful, but it is too big. Erhai Lake is really like the sea, with an area of 240 square kilometers and an altitude of 1972 meters. It is one of the seven freshwater lakes in China. If there are less than four people, it is not cost-effective to charter a car. 40 yuan/Day, no matter where you go, the scenery you can see is limited. If the time is long enough, you can rent a bicycle in the ancient city and ride leisurely along the highway around the sea for a few days. You can also choose to walk, and stop CMB where you want to go temporarily. The price and efficiency are very low. If you don't go around the island, you can take a cruise at the pier to the other side or visit Erhai Island, and the price is relatively high. There are only a few docks and time is limited. There are basically no cruise ships sailing around 5 pm.

Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple: The most famous temple in Dali is the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, which looks like the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an. Walk a few minutes to the west from North Tower 1.5km, 10. A few minutes' walk from the north building to the east, you can see a large area of rape flowers, but unfortunately there is no hierarchy. Tickets to the Three Pagodas Park 30 yuan, if you are not particularly interested in the tower, but for photography, you'd better choose to go to the nearby Three Pagodas Reflection Park, and the ticket is only 4 yuan. There are two threes in the north and south.

Tower reflection park, it is recommended to go north. There are two highways side by side at the entrance of Santa Park, one is Yunnan-Tibet Road (also called Old Road) and the other is Lida Highway. There is a beautiful and straight road between them, with rape blossoms on both sides. You can take a carriage along this road to Erhai Lake, and the price is 5 yuan/person. Most coachmen will ask you if you want to go to the pier, which is a private pier. If you go, the price can be lower.

Xizhou Bai folk house: between Dali ancient city and Shangguan. You can stop at CMB, 2 yuan/People. If you have time, just go and see them. Bai folk houses are quite different from Naxi folk houses, especially in color, structure and gate. Generally speaking, when you go to the Western Zhou Dynasty, you need to see Yan Jia Siheyuan. Tickets for 5 yuan/person, with three tea performances, 10 yuan/person. Yan's quadrangles are more general, but I don't think they are as good as the former residence of Ci Huang in Chenghai, Guangdong. There are always arrows outside the car.

Head to Yan Jia Courtyard, passing Sifang Street in the middle, which is probably Lijiang Sifang Street 1/4. There are many snacks and handicrafts, which are very lively. It's not as commercial as the scenic spot, but like the Bai people's own market. Shopping here, you will see many girls wearing Bai costumes. The beautiful hat on the head of the Bai girl represents four famous scenes in Dali: Bai Liusu is a metaphor for Xiaguan Wind; Curved eyebrows are the upper flowers; The velvet coat is Cangshan snow and blue.

The belt is Erhai Moon. In Xizhou, the word Golden Flower appears very frequently, and Yang Likun, who plays Ashima, is the pride of the Bai people.

Shimonoseki: You can take the bus to Shimonoseki, the ancient city of Dali, 1.5 yuan/person. Call 25-30 yuan. Shimonoseki is a modern city and there is nothing to see. The Xiaguan wind is particularly strong, and there is a special term called "Xiaguan wind", which does not rest all day long and all year round. Dali Bai people have the saying that "the wind blows the courtyard" to sweep the floor, which means Xiaguan wind. The appearance of the railway station in Shimonoseki is ok, but the toilets inside are not allowed.

That sounds horrific. This is the dirtiest and strangest toilet in the municipality I have ever seen. Go to dali ancient city has to pay a handling fee of 30 yuan to buy a plane ticket, but the ticket office of the Civil Aviation Building in Shimonoseki actually closed after 5 o'clock, so let's make a trip in vain. The toilets in the Civil Aviation Hotel dare not compliment.

● Shopping in Dali

As tourist souvenirs, marble and tie-dye are very representative commodities, which can be seen everywhere in Dali. You'd better be patient with the price. Cutting 1/2 should not be a problem. Handicrafts made of marble have good texture and feel.

Dali tie-dyeing: The most commonly used tie-dyeing cloth is pure cotton cloth, which feels excellent. Tie dyeing is divided into two parts: tie dyeing and dip dyeing. Tie-dyeing is made by sewing cloth into various patterns by hand, and then putting it into a dyeing vat with Radix Isatidis as raw material for repeated dip dyeing. In scenic spots or street alleys, local people hang tie-dyed cloth along the wall, flying with the wind, which is spectacular. There are small squares that can be used as tablecloths and wall hangings, and rectangles that can be used as sheets. The colors are relatively simple, mainly blue, yellow and green, but there are many patterns. It is not very simple to choose a color and pattern you like. Locals like to pick up the fabrics that are still being sewn in their hands and emphasize to you that they are hand-sewn to enhance your desire to buy.

● Eat and drink Dali

When it comes to Dali, we can't ignore the "three teas" and the milk fans in the Second Hospital. Three teas are divided into bitter tea, sweet tea and aftertaste tea. The first bitter tea tastes like a big bowl of tea brewed by oolong tea; The second kind of sweet tea is a bit like Babao tea, with longan and sesame seeds. Third, adding honey, pepper, and some shredded milk powder will have an unspeakable aftertaste in your mouth, so it is called aftertaste tea. Dali Ancient City Literature Building, Dali Nanzhao Cultural City and Xizhou Yan Jia Courtyard are all authentic, and there are also folk song and dance performances. The price is between 25 and 30 yuan.

Eight bowls of Bai people (or eight bowls of Xizhou), including Xizhou fish, crisp meat, assorted stew, clear soup balls and so on, can't remember clearly. But it is difficult to eat them all, so we usually eat four bowls. There are also delicious crispy noodles (3 yuan), shredded milk powder, fish in casserole (40 yuan), tofu in casserole (20 yuan), braised chicken (40 yuan), braised mutton (40 yuan), five-silk cold noodles, steamed pork with rice flour (5 yuan), fish bait slices, fried ham with frog skin (actually, it is a mottled bark with astringency. The most cost-effective thing is steamed pork, which costs 5 yuan for a big bowl. The best and cheapest is crispy Baba in Sifang Street, Xizhou, which is much more delicious and cheaper than Baba in Lijiang, and one is full. There are many snacks around Sifang Street, as long as they are not afraid of being dirty. The more expensive ones are casserole and braised pork, which are delicious and large in quantity. It is best not to eat in the center of the ancient city, especially in foreigner street. Go to a snack bar or quadrangle snack on a remote road, and the price can be half cheaper.

The bar in foreigner street is also a place to eat, mainly western food. The price is a little cheaper than the bar in Lijiang, and it tastes half a catty. There are many pizzas, but they always look suspicious. No matter how you eat it, you feel that the cheese in the pizza is replaced by a local milk fan, which tastes like rubber.

On the road to revival, one after another, there are specialty stores in Mei Zi. Dali produces plums, and Eryuan is also known as the hometown of plums. Plums are not sold in the original mold. They carved wavy patterns on plums, squeezed plum cores from the gaps in the patterns, removed the sour taste, put them in a casserole, and soaked them in red ponds and honey for several months until the plums turned golden. On Fuxing Road, the main street of Dali ancient city, you can see the shops that buy plums every few steps. Plums of all colors and sizes look attractive in glass jars. The others are pickled pears. There are many canned fruits from Guangxi in the supermarket. Litchi and yellow peach are the best. Dali beer is also good. A bottle is only about 2 yuan. I suggest you take a few cans home to try.

● Night Tour in Dali

At night, the ancient city is decorated with the most modern lights.

Bright castle, including three towers in the distance. But what is unforgettable is that the ancient city used to be quiet at night, except for the candlelight in foreigner street, everything was quiet. At present, the most lively place in the evening is not only foreigner street, but also the most pleasant place is to find a bar with a unique style, a glass of Dali beer and the most distinctive bars: Tang Dynasty, Tibet and Bird.

Have a nice trip!
