Time: 2001 4 22 - May 7
Part I: romantic Dali City
1st day: April 22 sunny, windy
Shanghai - Kunming - Dali
Planned for a long time of our trip to Yunnan, but also posted a perfect mountain climbing Ctrip online posts, hoping to find a partner in several counterparts, but two days before the provisional start, and still only me and my colleagues Xiao Yang, a man and a woman and two individuals , but also the relationship between colleagues, this journey is somewhat hard to say. Fortunately, on the day before departure, Miss Shi suddenly received a phone call saying that she went with us, Yunnan, and felt really a bit skeptical at first, until Miss Shi bought a ticket before we finally convinced that there are three set off together.
Early to go to the Hongqiao Airport, Miss Shi has never been self-travel experience, actually brought a rod box, it appears that she must go to Kunming, head of the wrap. On the Eastern Airlines plane, the three of us talked and laughed, I do not think that how the distance of nearly 2000 kilometers long, and soon the aircraft down, this time the aircraft radical shake up, Miss Shi pale, with trembling her voice on security concerns, Xiao Yang and I had no feel what horrible bumpy plane, but the voice of her miserable under the influence of mind can not help but also nervous, this mood affected not only the two of us, but also affect other passengers, the passenger front and side with the unrest in the eyes forget the Miss Shi tense face, but fortunately the aircraft safely landed at the airport, this is also true MD82 dilapidated scary! As I write this travelogue time, precisely because of the pressure out of control plane forced to land in Nanchang, there are better people were injured!
Got off the plane, immediately to the bus station to buy a bus ticket to Dali, 14:00 start, let's stay with Miss Shi to buy a climbing pack. Vehicle traveling along the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the plateau landscape side of the road show. I feel slightly dizzy head a bit, think about not only the altitude of 2000 meters of altitude sickness on the bar, and perhaps inside the ventilation is very hot the reason, and I fell asleep daze.
About 7:00 the time has finally come to Shimonoseki station, the car felt the characteristics of the Dali, Dali's "romantic" in Shimonoseki wind, really well-deserved reputation, that the wind would be the moment the ground into the sky, without any prior signs, large enough immediate leaves swept debris from the ground, but also blown a one-meter square of corrugated board to fly fast in the streets of two hundred meters. Called a taxi, we decided to go straight to the ancient city of Dali lived.
The next day: April 23 sunny days,
Dali - Erhai Lake - Dali
Stay at the inn in the Erhai Lake day-trippers bought tickets to go immediately to search for the cruise ship pier. On the boat, the A Peng Jinhua Dali Bai since the beginning of the song and dance performances to visitors to show their national custom. Watching performances and embarked on the deck, the vastness of Lake Erhai Bibo, such as ares, but the feeling seems a bit monotonous, the lake is the same color of the blue, there is not much the level of the surrounding scenery is also less showtime life, do not see what the plants feel some chill and desolation. Erhai Lake is not too much scenery, two common man-made island added some boring spots, in my opinion not as good as not to increase their planners who really do not know, why would such a lack of awareness of the United States. Before noon, and the lake's attractions is finally over, we went to the famous Hudiequanbian ashore, movies, pictures of the beautiful young when I had to leave off a deep impression that the film song has also been moving me obsession. But the real Butterfly Spring is normal that it is really worse, not even in the spots, but that the visitors, the number of visitors may not even want to leave a shadow there is no chance that those visitors will be even more selfish destruction of the landscape, it seems that do not want to our fellow citizens and future generations to leave this landscape, a great Japanese devils, "Sanko" policy meaning. Is really sad!
To leave the Butterfly Spring, car, pulling us Three Pagodas, Butterfly Spring is perhaps did not want to see the sight, Xiao Yang, and A Short History of their decision not to read, I am a man on the scenic spots, I am glad that I did not Three Pagodas this a good place to give up, is hard to imagine such a momentum in the periphery can also see the extraordinary architecture, santa the Erhai Lake day trip which is really the only bright spot.
Travel by car will we have delegated to the ancient city of Dali, we live in the ancient city, so it even if the end of a one-day tour, in the ancient city of wandering the streets at random to see tie-dyed handwoven cloth, look at other arts and crafts, visiting the tired In the ancient wooden bar tables and chairs on the drinking bubbles can no longer be the cheapest red tea and coffee, by starting a poker pleasant leisure time entertainment, face and Fashao breeze, the warm yellow lights illuminate the city's洋人街Everything seemed so serene, warmth! What a beautiful night, is really a beautiful place! Dali's洋人街!
