Single one-person tour, Yunnan running account - Dali articles (1)
The time the train arrived in Dali the next morning about 6:30 or so, I am still sleeping, he was the conductor wake up - Dali to. A look out the window, days, or a dark, and good conductor nor a hurry to rush us, are more people riding off, there is in bed sleeping for a while - sorry, the defects in Shanghai, up late, not yet changed.
Dali, the exact title should be Shimonoseki. Perhaps because it famous for the ancient city of Dali, it is called Dali. Dali is divided into Old Town and New Town, the old town known as the Dali, the Metro is called Shimonoseki. Dali attractions summed up the general words - romantic, namely, on the off wind, Shimonoseki flowers, Cangshan snow, Lake Erhai months. How kind, beautiful bar.
Gossip short that got off the train, railway stations, a lot of things have stood soliciting Bai dress clothes "guides" who. As a backpacker like me can not be a natural group of people away, but the time and earlier, there are no buses, so looked for a coach, and tour guides to discuss a moment the money to send me to a high-passenger bus station in Dali. By the way, and others will also want to say about Mix Dali, Dali railway station farther away from the Shimonoseki, if and I was sitting with a train, then may not yet 6:30 am bus to learn of my sample - Travel to pick up passengers take the bus to Shimonoseki. The case of Kunming, 22:00 and more cars went to Dali in the morning more than seven, there are buses to Shimonoseki.
Cars and about 10 minutes, reached a high marble passenger bus.

(Special Note: Do not talk to 10 million backpacker travel agency groups, travel agents often rhetoric to persuade tourists with their mission to day trips, in fact, the so-called Dali day tour, including only the ancient city of Dali and Erhai Lake cruise, prices are not cheap. They will tell you to look at Erhai Lake, boat ride to see singing and dancing, in fact do not have to the ancient city of Dali tickets, while the boat is tricky, singing and dancing, unless it is more money, and plan a simple FIT, only with the group). Dali Ancient City is located in Shimonoseki, a few kilometers north of the 20 Cangshan foot, 4-channel car to drive about forty to fifty minutes to get to, as long as 2.5 yuan, is not very cheap? Need to know with the travel agencies need to pay 100 yuan. (Hee hee, make another!)
