Regarding transportation: It’s very troublesome to be alone

Is it sunny in Dali for a while? It’s raining for a while! ? (Crying)

Riding bicycles/electric vehicles will cause you to get sunburned/get caught in the rain. The most convenient thing is to rent a car together with many people to go around Erhai Lake! You can park and take photos (but I can’t charter a car by myself?) Later, I bought a three-day Erhai Circle Transportation Card. But this is also troublesome. You have to make a reservation in advance, and the boarding point is difficult to find, and there is a traffic jam! ! Wuwuwuwu?

Food recommendation: Yangji Bait Nuggets

A lot of people in Xiaohongshu recommended his bait nuggets. I haven’t tried other people’s bait nuggets, but his is really good. It’s a small store where you can get Xizhou Baba for about 10 to 15 cents

There is a Xizhou specialty restaurant just a few steps away. Unfortunately, I didn’t try the sweet one, but the salty one with chopped green onion and pork stuffed with meat was very good. Everything in Dali really has a glutinous texture. I recommend the few similar ones I just visited for 5 yuan for rice wine, milk and fan glutinous rice balls

Have you made a special trip to a breakfast shop in Xiaguan District? It’s so necessary, but you can really try the Lihe Hotel nearby.

I originally wanted to go to Licheng Hotel but didn’t see the name clearly and went to this one. I guess it should be about the same. Lijiang is basically Naxi. Their specialties from ethnic minorities are worth trying and are delicious! Spoon Rice Noodles

You must try the local rice noodles when you come to Yunnan. There is a small shop by blind selection next to the river. There are flowers, bridges and flowing water. The rice noodles are so delicious. The soup base is very fresh and fills the bowl. The fungus is really grown by their milk and egg fermented glutinous rice

Flower cakes are basically a specialty. It is recommended to buy freshly baked flower cakes, which are super delicious!

Personal experience: It is recommended to know the relevant information of the scenic spot in advance, such as ticket prices, opening hours, etc., in order to arrange the itinerary reasonably. It is recommended to bring photo equipment such as cameras and mobile phones to record the wonderful travel time. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and clothes to walk and visit freely within the scenic area.
