Itinerary planning and local consumption

Accommodation: Shuanglang, Caicun, and Hulin Inn are mostly closed due to the pollution control of Erhai Lake, especially Shuanglang, which is completely closed, and the opening hours are uncertain; next There is a row of inns built by the lake on Binhai Avenue in Guanzhen. The lake view room has a good view and the transportation to the surrounding restaurants is very good, so it became my choice. Because of the shortage of rooms the first two nights, I couldn't find a suitable sea view room, so I chose to stay in ordinary rooms in two inns. The standard room at Linghai Holiday was small and the network was unstable, so we moved to Hanhai Pavilion the next day. We chose a deluxe double room in Hanhai Pavilion. It has a large space, good facilities and network, and a comfortable bed. Except for the unstable hot water, we are very satisfied with everything else. Because the view of the sea view room is blocked by the house on the left, the perspective is not correct. After repeatedly comparing several inns on this street, we chose Longfengyue and booked a sea view theme room for the next four days. The rooms at Longfeng Inn face Erhai Lake. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the theme room on the 5th floor have a wide view. There is a tatami in front of the window, just for watching the sea and letting my son sleep. The room is large enough, the round bed is very comfortable, the decoration and facilities are new, and there is an elevator. The rooftop of the building offers a sweeping view of Cangshan Lake and Erhai Lake. The boss was very nice and told us how to get the biggest discount. The accommodation experience was very good.

Transportation: There is a large section of road under construction around Erhai Lake, especially the few kilometers before and after the double corridor. The traffic jam is severe. My favorite car was damaged by a protruding manhole cover exposed by the north door of the double gallery. Other sections of the Huanhai Highway are pretty good, and parking along the lake is also convenient. Because the Huanhai Highway is 115 kilometers long, it is more suitable for driving around the lake and taking photos. Of course, walking for a while is also a good experience. There are many locals renting electric cars and bicycles, because electric cars are dangerous in many corners of the Huanhu Road, and bicycles are a better means of transportation besides driving. During the repair period, I rented a Skoda and did not walk. A three-day free trip for 450 yuan is a good choice.

Food: Local restaurants are not delicious, and hotels in tourist areas are not cheap.

Planning: The four most famous "snowy moon" scenes in Dali are Xiaguan Peak, Shangguan Flower, Cangshan Snow, and Erhai Moon. Cangshan Mountain is one of the landmarks of Dali. The highest peak is 3,996 meters above sea level. The top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. Although Cangshan Mountain is very famous, I have repeatedly studied other people’s travel experiences and found that the scenery is not outstanding, the physical requirements are high, and altitude sickness will occur at the top of the mountain. , the ropeway charges are high. In view of the physical strength of my wife and children, and my son’s resistance, I haven’t arranged the itinerary yet. Because the seagulls have flown away in April, cruise ships and other bird watching attractions are excluded from the plan; the Ring Road has become the focus of our trip, mainly taking pictures while driving. In addition, the three pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are also unique. If we have enough time, we will visit Erhai Park, Xizhou and the ancient city.

Damei Erhai Lake

Attraction introduction: The second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province, with excellent water quality, is the most important "Erhai Moon" among the four scenic spots in Dali. Cang'er, with its mountains and waters, is one of my favorite scenic spots.

Features: The climate is pleasant all year round, the sky is blue, the air is fresh, and the environment is quiet and beautiful. It is a good place for living, vacationing, traveling and collecting scenery. Transportation, shopping, accommodation, and catering are all very convenient. The tourism development is relatively complete, while maintaining the original style and the environment is not damaged;

Disadvantages: Due to the environmental control of Erhai Lake, the double corridors of a large inn are fully enclosed, making accommodation inconvenient. ; Some roads were repaired and impassable or blocked; In April, the red-billed gulls flew away and were not photographed; Bai people’s March Festival, which means they did not wait until May 1, is said like this

Play Cheats: 1. Travel photography - there are many local shops that operate travel photography business (I didn’t see any last year). A Beijing jeep, a photographer and driver, four tourists, two to three hundred people playing around the lake, taking one photo a day. The unit price is very cost-effective, and it can bring a good experience to friends who don’t drive or take pictures; 2. Accommodation - to watch the sunrise, live near Caicun on the west bank of Erhai Lake, close to the ancient city and the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, for the best sunset and sea view On the east coast of Erhai Lake, there are two corridors.

Personally, I most recommend the area near Xiaguan on the South Bank. It has high cost performance and convenient transportation. You can spend half of your energy in the city a few kilometers away. The east and west coasts are not far away. It is suitable for self-driving and friends who like to take pictures around the lake. 3. Climate - The sunshine in Dali is relatively strong, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Keep warm in the morning and evening, and use sun protection during the day; 4. Time arrangement - Morning and evening are the best times to play and take photos. There is no night view in Dali. Besides admiring the moon and clubbing, sleeping at night is the best choice.

Experience: The east coast is the best side for taking pictures of lake views and portraits. It has a wide view, good road quality, and is closer to the lake. The location and scenery along the double corridor are the best. You can find cliffs, shoals, plank roads, reefs or roads above the lake. at different angles and positions. There are dozens of shooting spots along the east coast, and locals have prepared props for charging. Places that can be named include Luoquan Peninsula, Nancun, Xiaoputuo Lianxin Bridge, Caisebai Village, Shuanglang Town, etc. There are many wetlands on the west coast of Huanhai Road, and you can use the dead trees and rocks in the lake as a foreground. The seaside next to Taorantian Club is a favorite spot for travel photographers; Caicun Pier, Erhai Moon Park, and Sansheng Island all have viewing platforms, pavilions, plank roads and other facilities that you can use; in winter, a large number of red-billed gulls migrate to Dali. You can take a cruise or go to Erhai Park or Xiao Putuo to photograph a large group of red-billed gulls. Dali has a large number of different species of birds. Those who like to hunt birds can search carefully in coastal wetlands, parks and Cangshan. I could see a dozen different species of birds. There are many boats in Erhai Lake, which can be used to compose the photo to avoid the photo being empty without subject or lacking in layering and vitality.

Experience: In addition to crashing the car here, the camera CMOS has to travel more than 600 kilometers back and forth. It takes a day to clean the dust at the Sony repair station in Kunming (only Sony has repair stations in Yunnan). One person drives there and back in one go ( When I went out, I left my driver's license and ID card in my wife's bag, so I had to go back that day and couldn't even stay in a hotel); there were two times when the roads were unfamiliar and I didn't know how to get to the right shooting spot. Seeing the brigade's jeeps, shoot decisively to keep up, saving time and effort; set out early in the morning to take photos until noon, or go back to the inn to rest or find a place to read, waste time in a daze, and continue setting off at night, which is the correct way to open Erhai Lake; Dali called The ride experience is excellent, Didi Express arrives in seconds, the driver is very enthusiastic, and the train is in good condition. There are many paid photo spots around Huanhai Road, where a small number of flowers are planted or placed, and there are shooting props such as hanging chairs. They are not on the beach, so they cannot be photographed in conjunction with Erhai Lake. Don't know why many people spend money on it.

Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple

Attraction description: The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are located 1.5 kilometers northwest of the ancient city of Dali, bordering Yingle Peak Mountain to the west and Erhai Lake to the east; the scenic spot is mainly composed of the Three Pagodas It is composed of Chongsheng Temple and Chongsheng Temple. Except for the three pagodas, they were all rebuilt in 2005. The three pagodas are composed of a large pagoda and two small pagodas. After the three pagodas, the Nanzhao Bell and Yutong Guanyin Hall were built to reach the entrance of Chongsheng Temple. Chong Temple includes the Tianwang Hall, Maitreya Buddha Hall, Eleven-faced Guanyin Hall, Daxiong Hall, as well as some halls such as Wanghai Tower, Luohan Hall, Pharmacist Hall, and Wealth Temple.

Cost: Tickets are 121 yuan (I still book annual travel tickets)

Tips: Although the scenic spot is very large, the distance that can be replaced by a tour bus is very small. Most Buddhist temples and scenic spots You still need to visit on foot, and it is a wise choice to abandon the tour bus; you can climb to the top floor of the watchtower on the top of the mountain to see the panoramic view of Erhai Lake; you must choose a time when the weather is good and the air is transparent. If there is no blue sky, white clouds, and sunshine, the scenery will be lost. Lots of colors.

Photography experience: The three pagodas have different scenery from different angles. You can take better pictures in it (it’s a pity that you waited for a long time and couldn’t take good pictures. I hope you are luckier than me); the wide-angle lens can take pictures of the impactful scenes of Buddhist temples; the shadow pool can capture the reflections of the three pagodas and the six pagodas in the pool. Scenery;

Personality: The scenic area is not small. The whole journey takes more than three hours, but it is not very demanding on physical fitness. Only my son felt tired when he reached the top of the mountain. The scenery was very good. . It is worth visiting when the weather is nice and not too hot.

Dali Ancient City

Attraction introduction: Dali Ancient City is located on the west side of Erhai Lake, not far from the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, covering an area of ??3 square kilometers. .

Fee: No tickets required, parking fee charged.

Features: It can be said that there are no features. Basically, this is an area full of various shops.

Disadvantages: None

Secrets: You can stroll around the city, buy flower cakes, and eat snacks; there is no need to go to the ancient city specifically, it is just an area where various shops are concentrated. However, there are many inns around the ancient city, and 80 inns can be stayed in cleanly. Not far from Xizhou, Chongsheng Temple, cruise ship terminal, etc. Transportation, shopping, and dining are all very convenient. If you don't want to stay in a sea view room, it is a better accommodation choice.

Experience: Because the car repair and rental stations in the ancient city are not far away, I just stopped by. There were not many people that day, so I went with my son to McDonald’s for lunch and then walked around for about an hour. I also went to Foreigner Street to have a look. I don’t know why it was named. There is no special feature inside. They are all small shops opened by local people.
