Dali quietly tells its story

This summer, you’ll really regret not coming to Dali! The wind from Erhai Lake has finally reached me 🌊. Here’s a super comprehensive Dali travel guide—lock it in and enjoy a deep 3-day trip~ · 🚶‍♀️【Itinerary】 DAY 1: 📍Caicun Pier for sunrise → Longkan Pier cycling → Xizhou Ancient Town (Corner Tower + Wheat Waves in the Wind) → Haishi Park Couple Trees Recommended restaurant: Moshang Garden Restaurant in Xizhou Ancient Town (the braised chicken is amazing) DAY 2: 📍Shuanglang Ancient Town → Wase Town Little Putuo → Wenbi Village for photos → Ideal State Santorini Recommended café: Erhai Wake Up in Shuanglang Ancient Town (270° sea view seats) DAY 3: 📍Dali Ancient City (Renmin Road + Foreigner Street) → Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas → Jizhao Nunnery for vegetarian meal → Ancient Tea Horse Road at the foot of Cangshan Mountain Must-try eatery: Zai Huishou Cold Chicken Rice Noodles in Dali Ancient City · 💡【Practical Tips】 1. Erhai Ecological Corridor only allows bicycles; remember to bargain when renting (20-30 RMB/day) 2. The popular S-bend is very crowded! It’s best to go early or visit the Caicun section for fewer people and better scenery 3. Direct shuttle from Lijiang to the scenic area costs 100 RMB/person; avoid being scammed by unlicensed taxis 4. UV rays in Yunnan are extremely strong; sunscreen + hat + sunglasses are a must · 🏨【Accommodation Guide】 ✔ For sea view rooms, choose Shuanglang or Wase; opening the window to see the sea is super healing ✔ If you want to explore the ancient city, stay near the South Gate for convenient dining and transportation ✔ If on a budget, stay in Caicun for high cost performance and proximity to the lake · 🍜【Food Highlights】 √ Stone Grill: Old Bai Stone Grill √ Wild Mushroom Hotpot: Dian Master Wild Mushroom Hotpot √ Grilled Milk Fan: Yangji Milk Fan (Renmin Road branch) √ Yangbi Rice Rolls: The first shop at the entrance of Beimen Vegetable Market
