697 Dali Ancient City and Carved Plums!
Dali Ancient City is close to the rippling Erhai Lake in the east and the green Cangshan in the west, forming an urban pattern of "one water surrounds Cangshan, and Cangshan embraces the ancient city". From the south gate to the city, a Fuxing Road directly to the north gate has become a bustling street market. The shops along the street are set up side by side, selling ethnic handicrafts such as marble, tie-dyeing and jewelry.
Some old houses in the streets and alleys can still find the past style. The gardens are covered with flowers and trees, the sound of birds singing, and the outdoor streams and canals are gurgling. The scene of "three families, one well, one household, and several pots of flowers" is still there. The Huguo Road, which runs east and west in the ancient city, is called "foreigner Street". Here, Chinese and Western restaurants, cafes, teahouses and handicraft shops, signs and advertisements are mostly written in foreign languages, sucking the blonde and blue-eyed "foreigners" here, lingering here, looking for the ancient oriental charm, and gradually becoming a unique landscape.
Dali Ancient City can be regarded as the scenic spot in the ancient city with the largest number of foreign residents in Yunnan. In the eyes of many people, it is a gathering place for literary youths and a back garden for idealists. Former media people, writers, civil servants, etc. have transformed into street stall owners of Renmin Road, chefs of a snack shop, shopkeepers of an inn... They came here from all over the world and chose a more natural and down-to-earth lifestyle. So in a unique small shop or stall in the ancient city, even in the vegetable market, you may meet someone with such a story.
......
Although Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni have been walking around the streets, Xiao Ting is the only one who can go there!
After strolling a few streets, I saw that it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni seemed to have bought the same way while shopping, and bought almost a whole backpack souvenir and other small things, but Xiao You were carrying them.
However, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni also got addicted to shopping. Next, they saw that it was getting late. They were shopping at several attractions in Dali Ancient City, and then they could go back to the hotel directly!
However, maybe it was Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and his group, and they didn't pay attention to the route when shopping, so the next street happened to be Dali Foreigners Street. Since we have arrived here, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni also thought of Xiaoyu, so they couldn't help but prepare to take a look at Xiaoyu. It just happened to be the way!
Seeing Xiaoyu again, Xiaoyu was young and lively. When she saw Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni come to find her, she jumped happily. The three girls and Xiaoyu's mother and four women were watching various silver jewelry in the store while chatting. As for Xiao Ting and Xiao You, Xiao Ting found a chair to sit for a while, and then Xiao You stood up at the door and stood up at the guard!
I guess if there are tourists outside now preparing to enter this shop and see Xiao You at the door, they will probably be able to directly persuade them to leave.
Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni and Xiaoyu were chatting together. It took about half an hour to get them all, and they were almost over. The result of their chat this time was that Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni bought a set of Miao silver jewelry worth more than 1,000, including silver hats, silver sieves, silver hairpins, etc., all of which were complete sets of silver jewelry. Xiaoyu and her daughter were even preparing to give Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni a set of Miao clothes for each!
Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni refused and were ready to refuse, but Xiaoyu and her mother were really enthusiastic, so Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni had to choose one of the more than ten Miao women's clothing that Xiaoyu and her mother took out.
Seeing Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni choose one set, Xiaoyu and her mother continued to laugh. However, they asked Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni to gesture to see if the size of the clothes is appropriate. Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni did not refuse again. Perhaps Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni had the figures of the two bodies that belonged to the standard figure range, so although there were some small problems, the overall look of these two sets of clothes was still relatively suitable.
After saying goodbye to Xiaoyu and his daughter, Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and his group left Xiaoyu's shop, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan, who had a full stomach at noon, Qian Xiaoni and his group were not very hungry!
Just so happened that at this time, the sky gradually darkened. Although the temperature also dropped a little, the clothes of Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and others were completely enough to deal with the gradually blowing coldness.
Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni still wanted to see the night view of Dali Ancient City, so Xiao Ting did not insist on persuading Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni to return to the hotel early. As the street lights on both sides of Dali Ancient City streets lit up one by one, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni also strolled on the streets of Dali Ancient City where the crowds did not decrease much.
Occasionally, under the night scene, Xiao Ting took out a SLR and took photos of Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni, or asked Xiao You to take photos of herself and Shen Yuyan. Qian Xiaoni and the other three. Of course, Xiao Ting's original intention was to take photos with Shen Yuyan.
But when Xiao Ting pulled Shen Yuyan to take photos, he often couldn't take a few photos, and Shen Yuyan couldn't stand Qian Xiaoni's pitiful gaze that seemed to be abandoned by her owner, so Qian Xiaoni entered the rhythm of Xiao Ting and Shen Yuyan's photo shoot again.
Xiao Ting was resistant, but at first glance, Shen Yuyan was constantly communicating with Xiao Ting, probably asking Xiao Ting to let Qian Xiaoni take photos together, and Xiao Ting was a broken cane and was disturbed by Qian Xiaoni. Basically, there were not many photos taken by herself and Shen Yuyan alone, so that was all the only way.
I have to say that the professional SLR cameras have really great photography effects. Xiao Ting regrets whether he took photos with SLRs in the past. Starting today, Xiao Ting will probably often have a SLR camera in his car in the future!
I found a restaurant with a good reputation again. Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and others were constantly tasting the various delicacies of Dali Ancient City!
Speaking of which, on the way to this restaurant, Xiao Ting, Shen Yuyan, Qian Xiaoni and others also met a highly praised delicacy in the ancient city of Dali. Diaomei! Diaomei is a traditional special food of the Bai people. It is named after the carving patterns on the green plum fruits. The food tastes fragrant, crispy and sweet. It is sour and sweet, refreshing, quenching thirst, and refreshing.
Xiao Ting couldn't help but eat a few more, let alone the two girls Shen Yuyan and Qian Xiaoni. They bought a big bag from the store together. In the end, Xiao Ting couldn't stand it and left the store's contact information and prepared to ask the store to prepare more and send it to the hotel. Of course, since this has been done, the number of diaper plums that Xiao Ting is preparing to buy is definitely not a small amount.
