“The wind in Xiaguang blows flowers in Shangguan, moon in Erhai Lake reflects snow on Cangshan Mountain”, “Cangshan Mountain has no ink for thousands of years, and Erhai Lake has no thread for ancient qin”, Bai compatriots in beautiful poems praise their hometown - Dali. In Dali there will always be "wind, flower, snow and moon" inadvertently.

Someone might say, Dali, commercialization is too serious, it is enough to visit once, where should you go again? I think it's because you're opening dali incorrectly.

Compared to tourism, Dali is more suitable for living. Avoid popular scenic spots, go to Eryuan to soak in hot springs, go to Dengchuan to drink milk, go to Bingchuan to feast on fruit, Yanbi rolled noodles and Midu rolled hooves... most authentic, most delicious and most leisurely Dali , you must understand it. Slowly understand~
