On the other hand, living in Dali is my second wish to leave my job. The first one was to live in Yili for a period of time, which was realized this summer before the epidemic came.
In 2022, my work and life fell into great uncertainty and ups and downs. It took me five minutes to make up my mind to live in Dali, tentatively for a month or even longer.
Next is Dali and Amway's incomplete life and play experience! !
Live in Dali
After buying the plane ticket, I began to read other people's travel guides, such as living and renting, but I didn't get much effective information. The only thing I can confirm is that during this month in Dali, the budget is 3,000 yuan, the rent is 700-800 yuan, the meal is 1500 yuan, and the rest is used as other transportation expenses.
By the way, although Dali is a popular tourist city, its prices are extremely low. If you don't believe me, read on.
Shenzhen flew to Kunming, bought a special ticket of 140, and rented a house with full coverage of water and electricity network for 800 months. In fact, the house can be cheaper, but I live for a short time, so it will be a little more expensive to choose the room provided by the B&B.

Renting a house in Dali, such prices abound in Dali. If you are willing to find it, there will even be 5-600 a month. If you are traveling for a few days, the homestay in the ancient city for 50 nights is too good for you to believe.
After solving the big problem of accommodation, I started my life in Dali.
Chizai Dali
As I said before, it is also true that prices in Dali are very low.
If you cook by yourself, 500 yuan a month can solve it. Eating out, there is a cheap No.1 middle school canteen, rice noodles 10 yuan, and thin bean powder 5 yuan. And there are a lot of fruits and vegetables in 2 yuan.

The most common prices in Dali are 10 yuan and 4 kg of fruit and 1 yuan of vegetables. Moreover, Dali is a tourist city, and basically everything you want to eat can be found here.
Play in Dali
The most famous scenic spot in Dali is Cangshan Erhai Lake, especially Erhai Lake. Everyone who comes to Dali will take photos around the lake. For me, riding a bike, blowing my hair and watching people come and go by Erhai Lake is a great relaxation and happiness.

My favorite thing every day is to rent a bicycle from Caicun pier and ride along the village. When I see the beautiful scenery, I stop and sit on the shore and let the wind blow your face and hair. Don't continue riding until you feel enough.
Erhai Lake is really beautiful. You should exclaim and sigh every time you come. I have seen many lakes, but Erhai Lake still holds a high position in my heart.
Besides Erhai Lake, you can also rent an electric bicycle to Xizhou.
Xizhou is a beautiful town. Autumn in Xizhou is a harvest season, and countless tourists come here to photograph golden rice fields.

The rice fields in Xizhou are golden, and large tracts are connected together. Coupled with the unique blue sky and white clouds in Yunnan, it really looks like an animation scene!

Secondly, as a social worker, I have made four or five new friends in just one week in Dali. Many people in Dali live in non-mainstream values. They are tolerant and accept everything from you, so they are also called "Dali Virginia". In Dali, making friends is a very simple thing.
The first friend I know is a girl who has been a volunteer in Dali for half a year and will leave Dali the next day. We had lunch together, then wandered around the ancient city aimlessly and chatted. From idolization to women's rights, to ancient city food picture books, and her views on Dali, etc. Later, she told me that she was from Cao Xian County, the center of the world, and told me how delicious and fun the banquets in Cao Xian County were, as well as coffins, Hanfu exports and other things I didn't know, which suddenly made my curiosity about Cao Xian County reach the maximum.
The second friend I met was a groupie, a fanatical groupie. We went to the market in March Street together. From 9 am to evening 1, the girl has just returned from studying abroad and has been giving me a stage like Amway Love Beans. To tell the truth, I'm not interested in idolization, but this is the first time in my life that I've met such a fanatical groupie, and I think it's quite interesting.
Later, I met the third and fourth new friends one after another. Everyone is warm and friendly.
Yes, there are many special activities and fairs in Dali. For example, movies, hiking, English reading corner, learning musical instruments and so on. Related activities will be announced on the official WeChat account every week. You can sign up if you are interested, and you won't worry about not having friends or being bored.
Wandering Dali
Dali is actually a city full of fireworks, and many Bai aborigines live in it.
The first thing I did in Dali, I got up early the next day and went to Beimen vegetable market to buy flowers and fruits. I can enjoy a few days of happiness by spending 20 yuan in the morning.

In the market, a bunch of flowers is 5 yuan or 8 yuan.

Dali's vegetable market is also the gospel of vegetable market lovers, with bright and rich colors. From 7 am to afternoon, people are selling different agricultural products one after another. The products here are rich and affordable, and all kinds of strange fruits, vegetables and mushrooms are available in the market. Local people carry small baskets to buy, and mothers-in-law and aunts can try them for free.

By the way, there is also a big market in Dali, March Street.
March Street is the most worthwhile market in Dali. "Catch a street in a thousand years, catch a street in a thousand years" is its slogan. Every month on the second day, the ninth day, the sixteenth day and the twenty-third day of the lunar calendar, people in various towns and villages in Dali will bring their best products to sell, and you can buy many strange things here.

In addition to the locals, there are various vendors who live in March Street. Coffee, bread and all kinds of fashionable things are mixed with local simplicity. This is the most distinctive place in March Street.

In addition to the above, there are many interesting places in Dali, such as a street with magical stall owners on Guangwu Road at night, birds hanging on mountains, surrounding Shaxi, Weishan and Nuodeng ancient town ... all of which are worth visiting, and I look forward to experiencing more wonderful trips in Dali in the next period of time, with more beautiful things to record and experience.

Finally, I can't help feeling that Dali is really a super invincible city! ! ! !
