Dali Travel Nanny-level Guide
Two adults and one child went to Dali and Xichang for eight days and seven nights, spending a total of 5200 yuan. My friends all asked me to write a guide to learn some money-saving tips, so here I am, come in and copy your homework.
✈️How to get to Dali:
💰Super money-saving plan: Chengdu→Guangtong North, sleeper ticket price 178. Sleep for a night and you'll arrive, take the high-speed train from Guangtong North to Dali, the journey takes one hour and 15 minutes, the ticket price is 66 yuan. Isn't it fragrant to buy delicious food with the money saved?
🏨Where to stay in Dali?
This time in Dali, we changed four places, the ancient city, Cai Village, Wase, Shuanglang. Here are the pros and cons of these places:
1. The ancient city is very convenient, close to everywhere. It is recommended to stay in the ancient city on the first day you arrive in Dali;
2. Cai Village, close to Haixi Ecological Corridor, convenient for watching the sunrise, cycling, not far from the ancient city; highly recommend Cai Village!
3. Shuanglang Ancient Town: Beautiful scenery, slightly expensive, you can find some cost-effective homestays.
4. Near Xiaoputuo, Wase Town, the scenery is very good, open the window is the sea. High cost performance. But it's not very convenient to travel, there are not many attractions around. Suitable for people who like quiet, sunbathing, daze and slow life to live. The feeling of stealing half a day of leisure.
❤️It is recommended to stay in Haixi for two days, Cai Village or Dali Ancient City, and then stay in Haidong for one to two days, Wase Town or Shuanglang Ancient Town. Because Haixi and Haidong in Dali have their own characteristics, if time permits, stay in both places to feel it.
🌅Three-day itinerary guide is here:
Day1. From various places to Dali, visit Dali Ancient City, climb Wuhua Tower to overlook, visit Bedsheet Factory Art District, braid a colorful braid, eat some Dali snacks, bait block, milk fan can try. In the evening, it is recommended to eat Dai-flavored hand-grabbed rice, the one I ate is called Daiyuan, the environment is good, the photo is good, you can also wear Dai costumes for free photos.
Day 2. Haixi tour. Watch the sunrise in Cai Village, it is recommended to go out at 7:30 to take a taxi. After watching the sunrise, have breakfast, officially start the lake cycling. Outside electric cars 🛵 can't get in, cars can't get in. It is recommended to rent a shared electric car inside, 15 yuan per hour. The route is Cai Village→S Bay→Langqiao→Haijiao Park. Then take a tricycle to Xizhou Ancient Town. Visit Xizhou Ancient Town in the afternoon. Then take a minibus at the entrance of Xizhou Ancient Town back to the ancient city, 10 yuan per person.
Day3. Depart for Wase Town. The distance is far, take a ride. Go to Xiaoputuo to feed the seagulls, daze in the sea view room.
Day4. Depart for Shuanglang, visit Shuanglang Ancient Town.
Day5. Go to live in Cai Village, play in Haixi again.
Day 6. High-speed rail station→Xichang
Caicun, this is not the attraction within the plan, very accidentally took the C2 bus to here. The quiet air by the sea in the morning is very good. Willow wind, new Yanjiao, wheat seedlings Qingqing, looking at the snow in Cangshan Mountain, enjoying quietly in the sun...
It was really a small village, but now it is really much better. There are also a lot of tourists here, so it is also on fire. The natural landscape here is indeed good, and the air is also very good.
The legendary place to watch the sunset is 10 yuan an hour at the entrance of the parking fee of a small village closest to the ancient city of Dali. It was too late to go. The sun went down and only saw some colorful clouds. The scenery is still very good.
I went to Caicun on the first day. It is very convenient to rent a car in Dali. Whether it is a bicycle or an electric car, you can (everyone look at physical pull (ง •̀_•́) ง). Electric car 50 a day, bicycle 20 a day, if you want to ride a bicycle, you must carefully choose the car, it is best to bring the speed change, because there are many uphill roads in Dali, with the speed to ride to save effort. This time I was lucky to catch up with the market in Caicun (not big, you can just stroll around at will). After arriving at Caicun Wharf, you can take a boat tour of the Bohai Sea. 180 people, you can take the path without doing a boat, and it is also at the Bohai Sea. It takes basically three or four hours to go back and forth.
Caicun is really a beautiful seaside village suitable for staying in a daze. If I go to Yunnan, the first place I recommend will be Dali, and when I come to Dali, I most recommend Caicun, to experience "the most beautiful scenery of Dali, Caicun slow life". Caicun has a good geographical location, very close to the ancient city of Dali, will not waste too much time on the road. And it depends on the Erhai Lake, the scenery is unique, of course, if there is time and energy, you can also choose to rent a bicycle to ride over, and then ride along the Erhai Lake, it will be quite good.
A small village near the Erhai Lake beach is still quiet. You can get a general understanding of the local conditions and customs and the life of the city through the alleys and lanes of the village. Along the Shizi Road along the lake beach, we can also see the Erhai Lake. There is a pavilion on the other side of the viewing platform. There are many young couples who are watching the scenery intimately.
