Dali, Yunnan, China

Live: We're a place to live is the most important place to rest will be easily settled a lot of heart. MCA building in Dali ancient city of South City documents on the road, it is easy to find, from about 8 minutes walk Nancheng floor to go. Total station reception room where the door access to the Internet, the speed is very slow, within half an hour free of charge. Next to the restaurant, the price generally has done very delicious. Entered into a large courtyard inside, there are about five houses, in-depth interleaving, were scattered haphazard, almost no lights at night, gloomy, and the best self-torch. 0:00 gates closed, in particular, be careful there are dogs on patrol at night, though not bite, but the heads frightening. Double room (without bathroom) 50 yuan / day, beds, and very bad sanitary conditions of public toilets, bathing going to walk to the courtyard in front of a public bathroom. This is the most terrible of public bathrooms, or even than Tiger Leaping Gorge where the TINA'S. Shabby, dirty, a dilapidated look. Two did not write about men and women, and asked that after the large inter-male bathroom, small inter-female bathrooms.

There are several women of cracks in the bathroom door, the largest one has 10 a few centimeters long, 2 cm wide, to take the air did not say mostly emptied. I hesitated for a long time before taking a bath inside and asked for a companion at the door leak. Double room (with bathroom) 100 yuan -150 yuan / day. There are also dedicated to the donkey who live in big rooms, all ground floor shops, about 20, 10 yuan / bed, floor windows appear to feel good, beds compared with 50 double rooms, be clean. MCA there is also a swimming pool, the shore on the sofa seems to be abandoned, old and dirty, I could not even sit desire at all. When sleep did not dare to use the original sheets, but fortunately I have a clean backpack alternate sheets, barely covered with sleep a night. MCA feeling of living in the summer than in winter should be much better.

Fu-chun and: MCA stayed a night at the hurry of the left. A morning at the residence to see around the ancient city of Dali. In the Guardian Road (commonly known as ) and the rehabilitation of road at the junction go west 100 meters, there's the alley inside the home, and Fu-Chun Bai courtyard-style hotel. The boss is Bai people, gentle, the hotel is a "tripartite a screen wall," "Tetraena five courtyards" in Bai residential buildings, "every household water, every household gardening" in Bai courtyard. Double room (without bathroom) 50 yuan / day, the room is small, only one bed, room and between rooms separated by wooden planks, feeling like a temporary shelter, is not recommended. Double Room Standard Room off-season 100 yuan / day, season, 250 yuan / day, beds, bathroom condition is very good. Bathrooms have heating equipment, and Yuba, living together is extremely comfortable and recommended off-season stay. The peak season price too expensive. On the first floor to provide meals, as well as bars. Spring and laundry in the complex are more expensive, if a 5 yuan. 12:00 closed, the hotel can not be online. And rehabilitation in the alley between Spring and Hai Lali home garden snack, the price that some expensive, but doing quite well. Head for the corner opposite the small supermarket and the Industrial and Commercial Bank Teller Machine, more convenient.

NO. 3 and NO. 4 (also known as Yu-An Park,): are in , in the west than the spring and should be far more complex. Double room (without bathroom) are 50 yuan / day, room humidity, lighting is not good. NO. 3 boss for a Korean, the street is a Korean restaurant, a 20 yuan package basically not very tasty. Walked inside the room is, there is no double rooms with bathroom, 4 rooms and 3 were relatively large room, 20 yuan / bed (?). From room to room with wood isolation, and Lijiang in comparison with the conditions of a more humble inn. Dali of the wind, we went to Yu-An Park, it just hit a tree was blown down, and a group of soldiers in the courtyard inside the sawing of wood, just go in the wrong when it comes to that place. An elm park garden than NO. 3 mostly, but the yard is messy, no one should be for a long time to pack, and pavilions have been the wind crooked. Total station with computer access to the Internet, the room smell very good, public bathrooms and toilets can be.

The most funny is the NO. 3 and NO. *** 4 turned out to be among the class of the place, there are four or five stories tall, heavily guarded, as well as armed military and police patrols in every floor's nice to blame.

Red Longjing Hotels: the people on the road. Bai courtyard-style hotel, very very clean the yard. Double Standard Room hygienic and comfortable, off-season 80 yuan / day, season, 200 yuan / day, had served as the host hotels.

and in other areas such as rehabilitation of road at the junction of Golden Flower Hotel, more elegant decoration, the price is estimated that a lot of money. Red Camellia Hotel, Four Seasons Inn, Dali Hotels conditions are relatively poor.

concentrated near many hotels, there is time, then you can slowly pick. On the comfort level and price should be cheaper, Dali city is not in comparison with the Old Town of Lijiang, and far fewer human touch.

Dali attractions scattered, it is necessary traveled Dali scenery, four chartered about the cheapest and most convenient and can save a lot of time and spend two days you can finish off. If a single horse will spend a lot of time in waiting for a train, or car, and on the road. If time is limited, you can also choose to tour the local day-trippers, the price is not expensive. Gas point, persists in arguing endlessly, anything can be bargained, and this is my voice of experience.

Dali: Dali the first one to see. There are few places can be interesting, you can read in an afternoon. Nancheng House back on a look, but not from the main entrance, because it was guarded by two dollars to pay the money tickets. Bypassing the main entrance tower, along the inside walls of the root away, surrounded by at least three exit can be on the wall. Wall is not complete, no road along the west section of the walk. Simply make life difficult for the east, or north and south in the wall overlooking the two reservoirs. Can be far from the wall to see Erhai Lake, if you have the best telephoto. The revival of a straight way to endure a shop, are selling tourist souvenirs, and selling the local specialties, and there is also selling something similar to the Bunun bell, wood plate, and linen cloth to do. Everything inside the supermarket more expensive, can not buy not buy. In the revival of the road there is a Shu Jen, you can buy and the "walking Lijiang," the same hand-drawn maps - Dali, priced at 6 yuan. Dali Museum, the door should be charged, the North tower in the vicinity of the Christian church is not usually open the door. Dali Cultural Park like a playground-like, without tickets, which are electronic games and Kara OK. Dali Ancient City is very commercialized, minority residents in small, not as good as Lijiang. Night worth a visit, there are CD shops in bookstores, of course, more of a bar. No more foreigners here in Lijiang, the waiter's attitude to the foreigners were significantly higher than warm friendly people, make people feel uncomfortable.

Romantic: Dali really a treasure-house, feng shui, the east west pillow Cangshan Erhai. The most famous is "romantic," or "off the flowers", "Shimonoseki Wind", "Cangshan Snow", "Erhai months." Cangshan also known Diancang, so named because of verdant mountains. It is closed on the north, south Shimonoseki, the east shore of Lake Erhai, west Black River, 42 km north to south and east-west width 2 km, with 19 peaks 18 Creek, "cloud, snow, peaks, river" as the Cangshan Four wonders. If you do not take the ropeway, Cangshan little spectacle from afar.

Erhai: Due to lake shape of the human ear, named after the momentum rainbow. Erhai Though beautiful, but too big. This economy to believers like me, reluctant to spend a lot of money, so can only see a corner of Erhai Lake. Erhai Lake in the end the beginning is not clear how much, was kind enough to discuss companion said, "We walk around a bar around the sea," read the map and realized how ridiculous. Erhai really the same as the sea area of 240 square kilometers, elevation 1972 meters, one of China's seven largest freshwater lake. We only have two people, chartered uneconomical. Bag carriage 40 yuan / day, where are what count, you can see the scenery is very limited. If time is long enough, you can rent a bike inside the ancient city along the sea road, leisurely ride a few days. Later, we choose to walk, the provisional want to go half-way stopped operating on the CMB, the price and efficiency are very low. If you do not cruise around the island you can sit at the pier to the other side of the island or to Erhai play, the price relatively high. Pier only a few, and time is limited, around 5 pm on the basic No boat had set sail. You still with the tour's easier Erhai convenience, this time we do not receive proper look at the Erhai Lake, it is regrettable.

Three Pagodas: Dali's most famous temple is the Three Pagodas, looks similar to Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Xi'an. 1.5 km from the north tower, go west 10 minutes to go. Out of the north tower a few minutes walk east, you can see large areas of rape, a pity that no hierarchy. Three Towers park tickets 30 yuan, if you are not particularly interested in the tower, but to photography, the best choice to go near the Three Pagodas reflection park tickets as long as 4 yuan. There are two three-tower reflection of north and south park, proposed to the north. Three Pagodas park entrance side by side, there are two roads, one is the Yunnan-Tibet Road (also known as old), one is a major highway Korea. Between them there is a very beautiful and straight road, on both sides of a lot of rape. You can carriage along this road until the Erhai Lake edge, cost 5 yuan / person. Coachman would most likely ask you whether or not to the pier, the words referred to the pier is a private pier. If go, then you can further cut the price more.

Hei Chau Bai houses: in between Dali and the customs. China and Pakistan can be stopped on the road, 2 yuan / person, if there is time to look good. Bai Naxi houses and residential buildings are very different, color, structure, in particular, the door is very different. To Xizhou generally depends on a strict Courtyard, tickets are 5 yuan / person, which has three tea performances, 10 yuan / person. Yan Courtyard more generally, I think not as good as the Ci Guangdong Chenghai spring house. Out of the car has the arrow pointing the way Yan Courtyard, in the middle through the Square Street, is probably the Square Street of Lijiang 1 / 4 large bar, there are a lot of snacks and crafts, very lively. So here, unlike the scenic commercialization, as if Bai's own market. Where to shop, you'll see a lot of young girls dressed in garments Bai. Bai girls head Naduo beautiful hat, on behalf of the four famous Dali King: white fringed metaphor Shimonoseki wind; bending is on the closed flowers; velvet top is Cangshan snow, Blue Ribbon is on Lake Erhai. In Hei Chau, Jinhua word the frequency is very high, play out "Ashima" and Bai Yang Likun is the pride of the people.

Shimonoseki: In the Dali ancient city could take a bus to the city of Shimonoseki, 1.5 yuan / person. Play 25-30 yuan. Shimonoseki is a modern city, there is nothing nice. Shimonoseki strong winds and large that there is a special term "Shimonoseki Wind", Shimonoseki wind all day long, all year round do not rest. Dali Bai has a "wind garden" swept the land that is the Shimonoseki wind. Shimonoseki City railway station looks quite possible, inside the toilet, can not enter Do not enter, most horrible, is the dirtiest I've ever seen the most bizarre municipal cities the toilet. Dali Ancient City to buy air tickets to pay 30 yuan a fee, the Civil Aviation Building Box Shimonoseki even more than the normal 5-point work, harm our Baipao the trip, civil aviation, the hotel's toilets are not to be commended. Because these two details, I have a very bad impression of Shimonoseki.
