Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture is located in the west of the central part of Yunnan Province, with an altitude of 2090 meters, adjacent to Chuxiong Prefecture in the east, Pu'er City and Lincang City in the south, Baoshan City and Nujiang Prefecture in the west, and Lijiang City in the north.

So there is an advantage of traveling here, that is, it is not far from other tourist cities, and you are tired of playing here, you want to go to Lijiang to Lijiang, you want to see the snow mountains and see the snow mountains - this is the connection!

It spans between 98°52'~101°03'E longitude and 24°41'~26°42'N latitude, patrolling Erhai Lake in the east and Diancang Mountain Range in the west, and has jurisdiction over 8 counties of Dali City and Xiangyun, Midu, Binchuan, Yongping, Yunlong, Eryuan, Heqing and Jianchuan and 3 ethnic minority autonomous counties of Yangbi, Weishan and Nanjian, which is one of the areas with earlier development in China's southwest frontier.

The place is also relatively large.

Located in the low-latitude plateau, the temperature difference between the four seasons is not large, the dry and wet seasons are distinct, the low-latitude plateau monsoon climate is the mainstay, and the scenic spots such as Butterfly Spring, Cangshan, Erhai Lake, Dali Ancient City, and Chongsheng Temple are the most representative.

It has a long history and is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yun Province. According to the literature, the ancestors of the Bai people flourished here in the 4th century, scattering many clans and tribes, known as "the genus of Kunming" in the history books, and they created a splendid Neolithic culture.

In addition, we can also get a glimpse of something from Jin Daxia's book, Dali's Buddhist culture is very prosperous, Dali in history, the people believe in Buddhism, and the upper class is deeply influenced by Confucian culture, and the whole society seems to be immersed in a benevolent and tolerant atmosphere.

Therefore, Duan Yu's infatuation, kindness, nosyness, and opposition to learning martial arts are due to his personality on the one hand, and on the other hand, they also reflect the social customs of Dali and are related to the general environment. For example, the reigning emperor turned out to be a monk, and this kind of thing may only be a very rare exception in the Central Plains (such as the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty), but there are many in Dali.

Ahem, it's far away......

Dali Prefecture is located at the junction of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Hengduan Mountains, with high terrain in the northwest and low in the southeast. The landform is complex and diverse, and the west of Diancang Mountain is a high mountain valley area. The east of Diancang Mountain and the west of Xiangyun are the steep slopes of the middle mountains.

The mountains in the territory mainly belong to the Yunling Mountains and the Nushan Mountains, and the Diancang Mountains are located in the middle of the state border, such as arches and screens, towering and straight. Xueban Mountain at the junction of Jianchuan in the north and Lanping in Lijiang is the highest peak of the mountains in the state, with an altitude of 4,295 meters. The lowest point is the Hongqi Dam on the Nu River in Yunlong County, with an altitude of 730 meters.

The territory is bounded by the large fault of the first line of Laojun Mountain-Diancang Mountain-Ailao Mountain, which constitutes two major parts. The eastern part belongs to the Yangtze quasi-platform area, and the western part belongs to the Tibet-Yunnan trough fold area (also known as the Sanjiang area).

It is a part of the western margin of the Yangtze quasi-platform area in the east, bounded by the Erhai-Honghe deep (large) fault in the west, and extends into Chuxiong Prefecture in the east. The western Tibet-Yunnan trough fold area is the western and southern vast areas of the state, bounded by the deep (large) fault of the Erhai Red River in the east, the Nujiang River and the Lancang River valley in the west, and runs through the state border from north to south, and there are 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain on the Diancang Mountain.

Many people may have questions here, is the famous Diancang sect from here?

Dali Prefecture is located in the low-latitude plateau, under the comprehensive influence of low-latitude and high-altitude geographical conditions, the low-latitude plateau monsoon climate characteristics have been formed: the temperature difference between the four seasons is small.

"The air of the four seasons, often like the early spring, the cold stops at the cool, the summer stops at the temperature", it can be seen how pleasant the climate of this place is, the winter is warm and the summer is cool, no wonder it can become a famous tourist attraction in the country and even the world.

The climate here is generally dry in winter and rainy in summer, so you probably don't need to bring an umbrella when you go out at this time, just carry a bag.

Because it took less than a day on the Jiuzhaigou side, Jinyang decided not to stay there at night, and the group flew directly to the airport to Dali, and when they arrived here, it was not completely dark.

The accommodation arranged by this aesthetic photography is in the butterfly seaview holiday villa, surrounded by the sea, the scenery is pleasant, even if you just stay in the villa, Cangshan Erhai can also be reflected in front of you, not to mention the environment in the villa, the absolute five-star hardware facilities, living here is absolutely very comfortable.

Maybe they also took into account that the physical and mental consumption of the big guys for several days in a row is not small, so the accommodation arranged this time turned out to be two people living in a butterfly seaview holiday villa, which made a few little assistants happy.

It's been a few days, and they haven't enjoyed the treatment of a standard double room or more, and this time it's really an exception.

By the time you get to the villa, it's already completely dark, so don't think about taking pictures or anything, quickly put your luggage into the room, and then open your belly and have a refreshing meal.

"Welcome to the beautiful Dali, and we are glad that you can choose the Butterfly Sea View Holiday Villa...... Our Dali cuisine is very delicious, especially the chef of our restaurant is a very famous Bai chef, his best Dali casserole fish, Daquan Heqing blowing liver, Bai hot and sour fish, Weishan grilled meat bait ...... and so on are all famous local specialties, and everyone is satisfied...... Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, and I heard that Mr. Jin and his wife came to Dali to take wedding photos, the store specially presented a bottle of ten-year aged carved plum wine made by the chef of the store, wishing the two newlyweds to be united forever and grow old together......

Maybe it's because Jinyang and others are big customers, the restaurant manager here is particularly enthusiastic, and the thief can say, first boasted about his holiday villa, and then blew the restaurant chef for a while, and heard a few snacks drooling, all looked at him with blank eyes, thinking if you can not just know how to say, first serve a dish!

Fortunately, this guy doesn't just know how to brag, he is quite familiar with almost every dish in the local area, there are more than ten people and nearly twenty people here in Jinyang, sitting at a big table, everyone orders a dish, he can also follow the head of the road, and simply say the practice, characteristics and so on of each dish.

This is even more gluttonous!

But this guy is still quite good, and he even gave a bottle of ten-year-old carved plum wine brewed by the chef himself, which is very spiritual, you must know that Jinyang has really never drunk this kind of wine.

I don't know if it's good or not.

Since there is a tip of China, many of the original unknown traditional snacks around the country have been targeted by some "people with a heart", the Bai people in Dali are masters of cooking, and it is a very famous tourist resort, so the local food naturally can not escape the eyes of many "people with a heart".

To put it bluntly, "people with a heart" know what is delicious when they don't do anything, where the food is the best, and where the ingredients are the most distinctive...... The scientific name of the people is "foodies", but they usually like to call themselves "foodies".

Yan'er, Jinyan, Jinyang...... Needless to say, this family is all standard foodies, especially after the edification of space food, it is difficult for general food to enter their "mouth", it can be said that they don't eat non-"authentic food", and they are really picky.

Although the accompanying makeup artists and photographers are not to the same level as them, who doesn't want to taste the food? As soon as they heard the introduction of the restaurant manager, they all couldn't hold back, and shouted loudly, "Boss, don't talk about it, hurry up and serve the food, we are all hungry......"

Cover your face, these foodies, it's too embarrassing!

Dali has a long history and is one of the earliest cultural birthplaces in Yun Province. According to the literature, the ancestors of the Bai people flourished here in the 4th century, scattering many clans and tribes, known as "the genus of Kunming" in the history books, and they created a splendid Neolithic culture.

The food here has also developed over a long period of time and gradually has its own characteristics, and the most famous of them is probably these 10 special dishes, which are really delicious and unparalleled, and will make people's tongues hungry.

Frozen white tofu fish, at a glance the name knows that this is a very distinctive dish, frozen, who can eat fish deliberately eat frozen? Especially in winter, in Dali, Dengchuan area Bai people people on the table or in the restaurant, you can often see a kind of local people very favorite food frozen white tofu fish, it is one of the most distinctive and superior dishes used by the Bai people to entertain guests.

Looking at a few pieces of white tofu floating in the milky white soup, a crucian carp or carp was holding its head high and wanted to jump up the dragon gate, but I didn't expect a click, and even the entire milky white water surface was completely frozen, as if time had stopped at this moment.

This dish is not only delicious, but also beautiful.

The whole carved plum button meat, and the general button meat is very different, here is not the traditional buckle meat in the rotten plum vegetables, but with a kind of green plum, also called carved plum, is the traditional famous food of the Bai nationality in Dali, Yunnan Province, collected from the spring of the green plum, the local girls carved the pattern on it, gently press into a chrysanthemum-shaped, zigzag-shaped plum cake, put it into a basin of clear water, sprinkle a little salt, in order to remove the sour taste of the plum, and then put it into the sand pot, and then use the best brown sugar, honey to soak for several months, when the plum cake is golden brown, it can be taken out from the bottle jar to eat.

The bottle of carved plum wine given by the restaurant manager just now is probably made from this carved plum, which sounds very national and is estimated to taste very good.

Curly hoof, also known as "Midu curly hoof", especially made in the area of Midu County, is the traditional food of Yunnan ethnic minorities, known for its beautiful color, delicious taste, diverse eating methods, easy to store and deeply loved by the local people of all ethnic groups.

To be honest, if it weren't for the introduction of the restaurant manager, Jinyang really couldn't have imagined that this kind of delicious thing, which looks like a slice of cut ham, would be made of high-quality lean pork legs, and the method is so special......

To choose the best pork leg washed, use a knife to cut the skin and flesh from the small hoove, remove the bone (the lean meat does not need to be removed), and cut the lean meat into strips, about 3-5 cm wide and 2-4 cm thick, the longer the better.

The ingredients are adjusted, rubbed on the lean meat with salt, put the balls in a bowl, add white wine, light the white wine, stir while burning, and cook for about 15 minutes, it looks like marinated pork, but this pickling method is really a bit strange.

Use a horn knife or dagger to remove the bone between the little hoof and the leg, do not cut the skin, put the lean meat inside, apply the seasoning, and sew the knife edge with thread. Tie the chopstick-thick rope one by one from the hoof up to the bottom (the tighter the better).

Put the bundled curly hooves in a pot and marinate for 2 days and nights, then put it in a pot of boiling water and cook it until it is cooked thoroughly (don't cook it too badly), take it out and let it cool, untie the bundle rope, remove the stitches, fill the empty space with shredded radish and fried rice flour (rice fried and ground), put it in the jar, seal the mouth of the jar, and eat it after 15-20 days.

This can be tedious and time-consuming.

The characteristics of this kind of hoof curl are also very interesting, the storage time of the jar storage method is shorter, and the finished product tastes slightly sour. If the boiled roll hoof is wrapped tightly with cotton paper, hung up, taken with food, and hung with the package, it can be stored for 8-10 months without changing the color and taste. There are various ways to eat curly hoof, steamed, boiled, single or side dishes, all of which are delicious and delicious, and are most suitable for food and wine. And the longer it is stored, the more beautiful it tastes.

I don't know how the Bai people came up with it, aren't they afraid of deterioration?

Dali casserole fish is also famous, can be regarded as one of the famous dishes in Dali, and the average person imagines that it is different, this dish is not just to wash the fish and put it in the casserole to cook on the line, when doing it, you need to make more than ten kinds of fresh wax ingredients such as tender chicken slices, mushrooms, etc., plus the bow fish or carp produced in Erhai Lake slowly stewed, the aroma is overflowing after the dish, the color is delicious, and it is called a cool yo to eat.

It's just that the amount is not too large, more than ten people have chopsticks per person, and Jin Yang feels that his mouth hasn't tasted much yet, and the casserole is empty, and there is not even a little soup left.

These starving ghosts!

"Boss, give me another casserole fish just now, it's too little, it's not enough to eat......" He's smart now, I'll order another one if it's not enough to eat, he doesn't believe that such a big restaurant can still let him eat enough?

What are the rest of the Binchuan Haixiao, the sour and hot fish of the Bai nationality, the bait silk of Weishan grilled meat, the loach drill tofu, and the milk fan...... Wait, these are delicious and beautiful delicacies, and the people who eat them can't lift their heads, and their eyes are just staring at the plates on the table.

But if you want to say the most interesting, it may still be Heqing's dish of blowing liver, Jinyang never thought that the pork liver thing could still be "blown"?

Do you think it's awesome?

Hey, don't say it, this Heqing human brain melon seeds are so good, the pork liver is blown into a ball by them with wheat straw, steamed in a steamer, and then cooled, sliced, mixed with coriander, soy sauce, vinegar, chili, monosodium glutamate and salt, it tastes very good, and there is no unpalatable taste of the pork liver itself.

I really don't know what the people of Heqing have experienced at the beginning!

"Boss, will you give us a few more bottles of that carved plum wine?" so many of us can't drink enough bottles, don't worry, money is not a problem......" Yan'er and several other girls were hooked on this sweet and sweet liquid, which tasted fragrant, sweet and sour, and a kind of slightly drunk wine, old and refreshing.
