In Dali, embark on a journey of ancient charm

Dali Prefecture, with its profound cultural heritage and rich historical remains, is dotted with ancient cities, towns, and villages like stars scattered across the Cang'er landscape, exuding an ancient and profound charm. Dali, Weishan, and Jianchuan, three national historical and cultural cities, stand quietly, witnessing the flow of time. Outside the cities, the hustle and bustle of traffic contrasts with the ancient charm within, filled with the touching atmosphere of human life. Dali Ancient City, a city with gentle times and historical heritage, leans against the majestic Cangshan Mountains to the west and faces the rippling Erhai Lake to the east. Its style and charm, amidst the unchanging landscape of a thousand years, always have endless charm. The city towers are majestic, the city walls are thick, and the city's layout is like a chessboard, where multiple cultures coexist and thrive. Strolling through the ancient city, watching the hustle and bustle of life, smelling the fireworks, and seeing the prosperity, this is perhaps the best imprint of time. Weishan Ancient City, the original flavor of Weishan Ancient City has not changed through six hundred years, filled with the splendid ancient style. The city is square like a seal, with streets and alleys crisscrossing, and ancient residences scattered in an orderly fashion. The ancient city retains nostalgia, and the old streets hide the necessities of life, with a faint scent of fireworks. Watching people come and go, the real life of the market, this is perhaps the best imprint of time. Half fireworks, half poetry, it makes people slow down and engrave nostalgia in time. Jianchuan Ancient City, with mountains like swords and water like rivers, this is Jianchuan, a small town flowing deep in time. Walking through it, smelling the fragrance of ink in the depths of ancient houses and alleys, listening to the tales of the years. Here, the residences are simple and elegant, with traditional Bai architecture such as 'three rooms and one screen wall' and 'four sides and five courtyards' everywhere. Every brick and tile, every grass and tree, is the sediment of time, showing a profound atmosphere. Set off for Dali, start a journey of ancient charm, travel through every corner of the ancient city, seek out several cultural relics, touch the imprints of time, and slowly savor the human fireworks.
