Dali arrived in the evening of April 11. From 35 degrees to 20 degrees, from Dali Banna summer to spring, but the 40-minute flight, but also left perspiration vest during the day seem not block the cool evening breeze. That night stay at the hotel is that the past few days, the cleanest and most stress, I immediately fell in love with the place.
Bai led guide was a girl, Bai, Dali is the largest minority, and they have no written language has also been finished a lot. Bai white for the United States, apparel and Baotou is also in white. Jinhua Bai called for women, men, A Peng. "Miss" there is already a derogatory word, along the way I remember the guide care, decent women dared not call Miss Chong.
Wind, flower, snow, 4 months is the Dali daimyo King. Wind, is the next boundary winds, flowers, is on the customs of the cuckoo, snow, yes snow Cangshan, month, is the moon Erhai Lake. Bai Jing were all these four people to integrate in the woman's header li: left ear side of the white tassel is hanging in the wind; flowers were embroidered in colorful silk Lane; header to the top a row of short white hair is snow in; while curved in a crescent moon represents the header. If the header tassel over the shoulder, indicating the owner was a girl; if short, then the woman has been unofficially crowned. This tassel unmarried men could not be touched, otherwise it means that she was interested, he wanted to do three years in the women's house coolies, and then in relation to the married woman to go home. Listen to tour guide said, Dali in Yunnan is the first choice to buy jade, because whether it is the province or elsewhere in Myanmar jade, must go to Dali to process, and then sold wholesale.
To Dali old town, when some overcast days, the wind is also very large, we are only 30 minutes to tour the ancient city. City, a small, if not to buy things, one or two hours from the first relaxed enough to wander apart, Wang Dan had. What is produced in marble, where even the street lamp posts are all to do with the inferior marble; a small and exquisite yellow jade ashtray, 5 yuan money can handle that. Dali Youyi famous tie-dye, so-called tie-dye, is painted in white cotton on a good pattern, the pattern part of the truss with the wire placed in the plant-based indigo removed after soaking, drying, removal of stitches, the previous Zhaqi a people who have not been immersed into the dye, maintaining the original white. Tie-dyed charm the machine is absolutely no batch processing, each deputy will not be exactly the same tie-dyed patterns, each Vice-cloth is a unique work. Tie-dyed clothing, mostly Chinese, plate buttons, stand-collar, middle sleeve, bottom, or long skirt or loose trousers, hanging in the shop yard, quietly elegant atmosphere Fasan Zhao simple, it is time to admire the city Beauty Bar. A good working tie-dye clothing, 35 dollars you can take home; there are other bits and pieces of small accessories, small furnishings, are not expensive. Dali's old town is lazy, and it is leisure, and if the time, you can rent a bike slowly browsing, and makes a product. Unfortunately, all the way last minute rush, in Banna missed Songkran, in Dali again with the "洋人街", "March Street," brushed past Zhenzhen Unfortunately, this time around in all parts of the festival in Yunnan Province.
Speaking of festivals, Butterfly Spring Park, a year earlier had gathered a large number of Golden Flower, A Peng singing in antiphonal style, and now, butterfly is a little more, only a few staff members dressed in national costumes, bored of sitting in the gate and tourists with a photo. However, one of Butterfly Spring WANG Quan-eye, or the turning of the smoke to clear spring water.
Erhai Lake is a beautiful, sunny, when visibility of up to 9.8 meters Erhai, even if it's cloudy, underwater 2,3 meters emerald plants are still vivid. Plateau less water, no one waters are called "sea", it is the beauty of their own yearning for the sea poured in such a simple names. We have to stay on a cruise ship more than 4 hours, during which the actors performed on board folk dance at the same time yours truly a unique three local tea: The first tea was bitter; second is slightly sweet; and third Road is milk, sesame seeds and honey cook, and sweet and delicious, it really was Kujinganlai. Time on board a lot, Feel relaxed goods tea and chat gossip to enjoy the delicate and pretty water color; the sun from the thick layer of clouds stuck his head and shed a golden light at the end of the sea, fishing in a small boat slowly passing; Shimonoseki strong wind rolled the waves disperse the stern opening, the translucent light that actually like patches of dark green Sui Yu. Erhai there is still a small island, called the Little Putuo. Landscape of the island is not large, only built a small temple, dedicated to the local deities of the island people to sell to tourists shrimp, fish, and some crafts. Better the shore willows, the root of the tide did not rise into the water. A narrow boat, carrying two rows of Bai Yao Jiang woman and an old man named order, on the water paddling back and forth effort in order for visitors to watch.
After dinner, we embarked on a bound for Lijiang CMB. Outside the car, Dali mu farmland have never been stopped; mountains in the distance in the twilight slowly fading, mountains, winding ups and downs. I have bumpy seat lifeless sleep, woke up found to have in the past more than one hour, the sky completely dark, and inadvertently the rise, it can no longer sleep.
Have never seen so many stars, the sky filled with blue ink or dark or bright the stars, tightly packed, one time I went so far as trance where they are. If Shanghai, so the clear night sky will not lonely, neon, street lights, searchlights, aircraft warning lights above the city, not to mention the stars, if not carefully identified, and even the trace of the moon are hard to find. At this point, around the already very dark, only the occasional car pass by, will long projection lights on the ground. Looked back, the following is Didi De Col, there is orange light from the window of a few families escape. Life for the first time to identify the Big Dipper's so clear, that a huge spoon irrefutable hanging in the sky, brilliant. Xingxingdiandeng, with me spent the rest more than an hour, until the ancient city of Lijiang, a small shop in front.
