What are your tips for traveling to Dali alone?

Let me share with you some tips for traveling to Dali alone.

On the first day, I mainly went shopping in the ancient city in the morning. The flower cakes are recommended by Pan Xiangji and Jiahua. They are not greasy and the flower-flavored cakes are soft and soft. Ancient brown sugar is about 20 yuan per pound and there are many flavors to choose from. There are also The chili dipped in water is spicy and delicious. You can bring many snacks such as milk fans, rolls, sausages, rice noodles, cold rice noodles with shredded chicken, tofu wrapped in milk, Bangbang chicken (haha, of course it is the most authentic in Sichuan, where I live), etc. Choose according to your preference. There are also many places in the ancient city that sell traditional costumes such as long skirts, shawls, bracelets, hats and earrings, as well as specialty bracelets such as Milla sinensis (recommended to buy around the school, the crabs and barbecues around the school are also delicious) and so on.

In the afternoon, I drove to Dali city to get to know the urban environment. Some apartments in the city are in good repair. Afterwards, we went to the seaside park to take pictures and play. You can also take a boat trip to see the beauty of Erhai Lake. Then we went to the vegetable market to buy local fruits, cherries. Loquats are cheaper than in the ancient city and there are a wide variety of fruits. We headed back to the ancient city and had a slate barbecue in the ancient city in the evening. The self-service ordering barbecue, tender beef, fresh tofu, hairtail, sea fish, crabs and snails are all available. I love it when dipped in hot pepper.

The next morning we drove to Xizhou Ancient Town. The ancient town is relatively primitive and has not yet been fully developed. It is said that this is a relatively wealthy town in Dali. The Yan family, Zhao family and other big families in the town have now immigrated. The ancient mansion is still left for tourists to visit. In the ancient town, you can mainly experience the traditional white-walled buildings, ethnic wall paintings and traditional tie-dye craftsmanship. There are also handmade cute little shoes, long skirts, earrings and jewelry to choose from. For girls, it is recommended to braid hair for 10 yuan, about 6 - 8 colorful braids that look good in photos and symbolize good luck in Yunnan.

Driving to Haiji Park in the afternoon, it only takes 20 minutes to drive from Xizhou. Nowadays, we need to pay attention to the road conditions during road construction. There is an aunt at the door. Parking at 5 yuan is cheaper than the parking lot. It takes more than ten minutes to walk from the door to the park and ride a horse-drawn carriage for about 5 yuan per person. It is the first time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake up close. The park lake flows into Erhai Lake, which is shaped like a long tongue and is commonly known as "Sea". In the park, you can take photos on the beach, which is an indispensable part of travel photography. You can also play in the water on the beach, or you can sit quietly and enjoy the beautiful scenery, feel the breeze and watch the little ducks playing in the water. It is quiet and beautiful.
