Cai Village

After lunch, we drove to Caicun Wharf, which is a bit like a park in the city. The fields are full of blooming onions and hairy ball flowers, which are really lovely. In the evening, the setting sun burned, and the top of Cangshan Mountain was instantly shining with golden light. In front of a small square, the security uncle and local men, women, old and young spontaneously organized a singing party, taking turns to sing. The level of the performance was uneven, but this kind of fun was what they wanted, and life was really comfortable.

Not far from the ancient city of Dali, it is convenient to take a bus or taxi, relatively quiet, and there are a large number of homestays. The wetland next to the Caicun Pier is very beautiful, and you can take a boat to Nanzhao Fengqing Island and Shuanglang, so if you have a plan to take a boat, it is very convenient to stay here.

It was quiet. The Erhai Lake was just outside where I lived. There was a dike that went deep into the lake. There was a small pavilion at the top. Many locals swam there. It was probably demolished now. The most interesting thing was that it was off-season when I went there. The room price was about 300. I negotiated the price with the boss and it was reduced to 150. Then I negotiated with the boss and the location was changed to an unbeatable sea view room! !

Standing on the roof of Caicun B&B, you can watch the sunrise and the sea of ​​clouds over Cangshan Mountain in the morning.

I saw the traditional and authentic Bai architecture and felt proud of this choice for a few seconds.

The commercialization is lower than Shuanglang. It is a relatively natural village where you can watch the sunrise.

Caicun is a small fishing village on the west bank of Erhai Lake. The Erhai Wetland Park in the area is the most famous. The blue sky and white clouds, beautiful countryside, clear water of Erhai Lake and majestic Cangshan Mountain complement each other here. Among them, Caicun Pier is a good check-in spot for internet celebrities to take photos of the sea view.

Everywhere is picturesque and there is a new scene at every step. But I hope everyone will protect this sea and not wash the car, cook, or throw garbage there. Cherish it, cherish it.

When I lived in the ancient city before, I often ran from the ancient city to Cai Village for morning exercises. At that time, the tourists had not yet gotten up, and it was quiet and beautiful.

I rode a small electric donkey to Cai Village. Here you can take a boat to visit Erhai Lake at the pier. The environment is generally average. You can just check in.

A very quiet coastal village with beautiful scenery. Most of the inns along the coast are closed. It is worth a visit.

Cai Village is located on the west bank of Erhai Lake. It is a quiet and beautiful village. You can take a boat tour at the pier, rent a bicycle to travel around the village, or sit by the water and daydream.

A small fishing village, the road is right by the Erhai Lake. It must be very comfortable to live here, the scenery is really beautiful.

Due to a navigation error, we drove into Cai Village. We were in a bad mood, but we unexpectedly found a sea of ​​flowers in Cai Village, so we immediately forgot our unhappiness and took up our cameras to happily take pictures. At first, the sky was still cloudy, but when we left, the sky suddenly cleared up, and the sea of ​​flowers under the sun was extremely beautiful.

There is no admission fee, so how can you afford to give a low score?

There are many more pictures and stories. If you want to hear the stories, you can contact me. Hahaha

Cai Village is a very famous place here

You can go and have a look, it's still suitable for taking photos.

The sea of ​​flowers in Caicun is worth a visit. You can see it by searching for Caicun on the navigation. The ticket price seems to be 40 yuan per person. You can take as many photos as you want.

After getting off the bus, continue walking straight along the main road and you will reach Caicun Wharf. In the village, you can see large and small characteristic inns everywhere, and various vehicles for rent are parked in rows on the roadside. This shows that many tourists still choose to stay in Caicun.

When I first arrived at Cai Village, the most direct feeling I had was its quietness. Unlike the bustling Dali Ancient Town, Cai Village allows people to experience the fun of slowing down their pace.

Parking fee is 20 yuan per car.

Caicun Wetland Park is really not that great! Not recommended!

The core of the park looks "beautiful" in photos from only one angle.

As for this park, it is more than a hundred levels lower than our "Waterscape Park"!

I give one star for the attitude of the local villagers. As soon as we stood at the dock, a villager pointed at us and asked us angrily: Do you want to take the boat? ! ! If you don’t want to, go away! This attitude is really shit. Erhai Lake is like a ball of honey, and the villagers are like ants protecting their food, afraid that others will snatch their food. Maybe they are crazy because of poverty. Anyway, their only purpose is to make money. If they can’t make money, they won’t even let you see the water. Later, I spent ten yuan to go to the terrace next to it, which was full of couples taking pictures. I couldn’t see the scenery properly on the viewing platform, and had to let them take pictures...

Cai Village is very close to the ancient city, and there are many flower fields nearby, which are worth a visit. Special reminder, flower fields are usually charged.

It's quite boring. There is a free park next to the pier where you can enjoy the sea view. Nothing else.

Cai Village is quite beautiful. It is close to the shore of Erhai Lake. It is a quiet little village, like a paradise lost on the shore of Erhai Lake.

When I read the guide, I had a lot of beautiful imaginations about Cai Village. When I got there, it was crowded and messy. The Cai Village pier was cordoned off by local residents, and a popular glass ball was placed there. It cost 10 yuan per person to go up. I was very disappointed.

It cost 100 yuan to go back and forth on a three-wheeled flower car, which felt a bit rip-off. I just wanted to sit and tour along the way. I went to a scenic spot: the sea of ​​flowers, which cost 20 yuan and was like a garden. The lake and mountain scenery is still good, but the scenic spots are boring.

All the shops in Cai Village were closed. The place we found to eat was also closed, and we had to knock on the door to get in. After dinner, we strolled around the pier and went back to rest. The owner of this shop told us that due to the Erhai Lake renovation, about 2,000 shops around the lake were closed, and 50,000 people were unemployed. Many locals went out to work.

The destination is the place where we stayed - Luoluo Wuchen Coastal Inn in Cai Village. There is basically no scenery inside Cai Village. To get to the Seaview Inn, you need to go through many narrow alleys. The battery car is relatively convenient. When you take a taxi into the village, there is a lavender garden along the way where you can take pictures for a fee.

There are closed hotels and inns everywhere.

Maybe it is too commercialized. The village is actually very ordinary. There is only a small artificial viewing platform, and the scenery is not worth seeing. We only stayed for half an hour, but paid 20 yuan for parking and 10 yuan for each person. So I don't recommend going to Cai Village, because there will be more beautiful and free scenery later.

Cai Village in Dali is about 3 kilometers away from the ancient city of Dali. It takes about 10 minutes to ride an electric car. There are also No. 2 buses in the village that go directly to the ancient city. Cai Village is a small village on the edge of Erhai Lake. It is very quiet and comfortable. In short, everything is very good. Why did I choose to live in Cai Village when I came to Dali this time? 1. I like a quiet environment and want to be in a daze, read books, and take pictures; 2. I want to experience the slow life of "facing Erhai Lake and getting close to the countryside"; 3. It is only 3 kilometers away from the ancient city, and it is very convenient to go back and forth. This is my reason. The only drawback is that the current Cai Village Pier can only be passed by buying a large Erhai cruise ship (180 yuan). You can no longer enjoy the sunset or sunrise of Erhai Lake at the pier. Cai Village is a quiet and leisurely village with many characteristic small inns. If you want to be quiet at night and have a good sleep, choose here! You are definitely right!

It's said to be good, but after going there, I found that it's just a beach and it doesn't seem very interesting. It's better to go directly to Erhai Lake. We took some photos next to it, and the effect was pretty good. There is also free parking here.

You can take C2 to Cai Village. We didn't expect much from Cai Village, we just wanted to stroll around, but Cai Village still gave us many little surprises.

The weather was great, the blue sky and white clouds against the Erhai Lake were so beautiful. I loved the blue and purple tones on the water.

We booked a homestay facing Erhai Lake in Cai Village. Cai Village is on the west bank of Erhai Lake, so we should be able to see the sunrise.

Cai Village is a small village on the west bank of Erhai Lake, between the ancient city of Dali. The village has no special features, but there are some homestays and businesses near Erhai Lake. It is one or two kilometers away from the ancient city, so accommodation is relatively cheap. There is a dirt trail towards Erhai Lake, where you can enjoy the view by the sea.

Staying at a friend's inn, cozy, cozy~~~

I arrived at the inn at noon, took a rest and then went out for a walk. Before I knew it, I had arrived at Caicun Pier. The photos I took were all beautiful, and the gentle breeze blew away my fatigue.

It is really convenient to rent a car and ride Huanhai West Road in Cai Village. The scenery is beautiful! However, there is not much food and few shops in Cai Village, so bring some dry food with you.

I heard that Shuanglang was repairing the road, so I went to Cai Village nearby to take a look at Erhai Lake. This place is actually also under renovation, and many inns by the lake have been closed, but it's okay, it's quiet and I can wander around by myself. There is a pavilion where you can take good photos of the sea view, there are many wild ducks, and seagulls fly over. The key is that it is very close, and you can get there by bus for 2 yuan from Dali Ancient Town, which is very suitable for budget travelers!

The roads in Cai Village are very narrow, making transportation and parking inconvenient. It was a rainy day when we went there, and the scenery was average.

One is a planted garden. You will pass by here on the way to Erhai Lake. It is a place called Cai Village. The ticket is 10 yuan/person. There is nothing to play in it, but it is beautiful for taking pictures, provided that you can take pictures hahaha

Our first stop around Erhai Lake was Caicun Wharf. The Bai people living in Caicun have been fishing for generations. It is the largest tourist scenic spot among the Bai villages around Erhai Lake and also the natural primitive village that receives the most tourists. The pier no longer has the five-yuan boat that the tourists mentioned before. Now it has cruise ships, which are quite expensive.

It's nice to watch the sunrise in a sea view room, and you can take great pictures with your phone. It's close to Tongkan Pier, the environment is average, a bit remote, and the transportation is not very convenient.

A small village near the Erhai Lake. It takes a few minutes to walk to the Erhai Lake. It is very stunning to walk there in the morning to watch the sunrise! But compared to the ancient city of Dali, this place is relatively quiet. There is also a market nearby on Saturday morning, which is very comfortable. You can ask the innkeeper how to get there.

The only lively one,

This is the Caicun Wharf where the Erhai Lake cruise ships are still in operation and passengers are picked up and dropped off. To be honest, there don’t seem to be many tourists.

And, the sewage treatment plant project not far away. All businesses along the coast were closed, and there were only a few small stalls outside the pier.

The whole village looks depressed.

I was just wandering around and saw a small sign that said "Viewing Platform 10 Yuan per person".

Yes,

The inn and restaurant are closed, so it should be okay to go up and sit and look at the Erhai Lake.

When I saw the Erhai Lake in the sunshine at Caicun Pier, I immediately felt that the trip was worthwhile.

The sea of ​​flowers near Cai Village is the most famous. Most people who travel to Dali on their own will include Cai Village as part of their itinerary.

Cai Village now has more than a dozen well-preserved temples of the God of Wealth, the temple of the chieftain, the Kuixing Pavilion, and the clan ancestral hall. Many tourists who travel to Dali will find Cai Village specifically to visit this wetland park. During every festival, the villagers still maintain the traditional customs of the Bai people, such as dragon dancing and sacrifice, which are more authentic.

The scenery is average, and the road is under construction, which is very inconvenient. If you like to see the sea, I recommend going to Longkan Wharf. If you like the ancient city, I recommend going to Xizhou.

Cai Village is best visited during the blooming season. It is not worth going there in winter. In spring, it is really beautiful to see the rape and peach blossoms set against the backdrop of Cangshan Mountain.

Cai Village has not been overdeveloped yet and there is a pier that is perfect for watching the sunrise. It is highly recommended.

If you have time, stay in Caicun for a night. It is not as commercial as Shuanglang.

There are vast seas of flowers and ethnic Bai dwellings. You can see Cangshan Mountain in the distance, step onto Erhai Lake nearby, and drink tea beside the flowers. It is so beautiful.

Cai Village is very suitable for living. If you can afford it, you should stay in a room with a sea view. Living upstairs and looking at the Erhai Lake outside will make you feel different.

There is a direct bus from the ancient city to Cai Village. Compared with Dali Ancient City, Cai Village has much less commercial atmosphere. Walking on the small road, you can see flowers blooming all year round and the blue and transparent sky. It is an ideal place for a slow life.

The journey of more than 100 kilometers around Erhai Lake is full of beautiful scenery. Halfway through the western route, the wetland scenery along the way is already surprising!

The sea view and atmosphere of Caicun are quite good, better than Taoyuan and Shuanglang. Students who like to watch the sunrise need to walk along the coast of Caicun in advance to find the best prospect. There are cruise ships available at Caicun Pier.

The scenery is beautiful and suitable for staying for ten days or half a month

It's not a big village, but it has a pier, which is suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset.

Cai Village is not very famous, like a little-known little jade, but the scenery is very good, with a kind of beauty that is isolated from the world. Coming out of the ancient city, ride along the sign of Huanhai West Road, and you can see the sign of Cai Village. Go in one road, and the end is Cai Village Wharf. You don't have to go into the wharf. You can go in from the small roads on the left and right sides of the wharf entrance. After walking for a while, you can see Erhai Lake. Very few people come to Cai Village. If it weren't for the construction of Shuanglang, I don't think I would have chosen Cai Village at first, but now it seems that I am really lucky to find such a paradise. There are very few people, and there are no tourists as a background. It feels like discovering a new world.

I walked through the streets and alleys and accidentally came here, a little surprise

Cai Village is highly recommended for accommodation in Dali for two reasons. First, it has a good location, two kilometers away from the ancient city, and the pastoral scenery along the way. At the same time, Cai Village is located on the west bank of Erhai Lake, where you can see the sunrise in the morning. Many inns are built on the edge of Erhai Lake, with good sea view and cheap price. Second, it is undeveloped, with few commercial elements, and the ethnic customs of the Bai people are rich. Compared with the ancient city, this is a good place to experience the customs of the Bai people. And because it has not been developed, the coastal part here still retains its original ecology, so the price of the sea view room is also cheap, and it can also feel more like going with the flow. In short, Cai Village is a coastal village where the Bai people gather. There are no tourist boutiques, no bars and restaurants, just pure villagers and houses, and simple folk customs. The bad thing is that there are many alleys, which are very winding, and the inns are not easy to find. However, most inns will provide pick-up and drop-off services. Here I want to talk about the sea view inn where I stayed separately, and its beauty is enough to be regarded as a tourist attraction.

Depart for Caicun Wharf to see the legendary Erhai Lake. When we got to Caicun Wharf, we found that we needed to buy a ticket to enter. We wanted to go home in shame. On the way back, thanks to the resourceful old classmate Hu, we found a small path leading to the Erhai Lake. From Caicun Wharf, we can see the Cangshan Cableway Tamarind. It is so delicious that we can't stop eating it. I thought it was sold in Yunnan, but later I found that Dali has the most and the taste is the best~

Cai Village is located by the Erhai Lake, adjacent to the ancient city of Dali. It is also the only way to the west of Erhai Lake and the best place to enjoy the sunrise. Cai Village stayed at Dali Erhai Yifangzhai Family Inn. The price of a double room is ￥63/night, which is very cost-effective. The inn is only 50 meters away from the Erhai Lake.

Caicun is indeed a small village, not much to visit, but quite peaceful. I booked a carpool from the innkeeper's wife from Dali to Kunming Airport, 200 per person.

In the afternoon, we rented a small electric bike and went to Cai Village, which is the closest to the ancient town. We passed a field of sunflowers and a field of lavender-like plants. You can take pictures in this sea of ​​flowers for 10 yuan per person. You can take pictures as you like. It is worth it. We took pictures for about an hour. Then we went to Cai Village Pier. Actually, there was nothing to see because the weather was not very good. The wind was so strong that it blew me up.

Cai Village has developed tourism in recent years. With the wharf as the center, many Bai ethnic minority homestays have been built along the Erhai Lake. They are very beautiful and clean. Every inn is very beautiful. After selecting several, I finally chose a homestay with a very high cost performance. The standard room is 200 yuan per night. The decoration standard is mainly logs. It is very beautiful, and there is a rooftop where you can see the Erhai Lake. If you are a couple, you can choose a king-size bed room with a round bathtub and a sea view room with a window to see the Erhai Lake. It is not expensive at this time of year.

Finally I understand what it means to "live slowly"

Although it's my second time here

It doesn't affect my love for this place.

A small fishing village in Dali. I personally think it is relatively quiet and suitable for self-cultivation. It is not as lively as Dali, nor as noisy as Shuanglang.

Because I have read some travel notes and know that Caicun is a village by the Erhai Lake, I asked the driver: How long does it take to get to Caicun? The driver said: 20 minutes. I looked at the time and it was 6:58. There was still time, so I quickly said: Let's take the bus! After getting on the bus, I asked about the fare, which was only 1.50 yuan per person, haha! It saved us a lot of money. The road conditions were very good in the morning, and we arrived at the Caicun Pier before 7:20. When we walked into the pier, the sun had not risen yet, and the Erhai Lake looked a little gray, but the light of the setting sun had already reflected the golden light of the white clouds. The scenery by the Erhai Lake is picturesque. There were already many people waiting for the sunrise on the pier. At 7:27, a red sun burst out from the top of the mountain. The sun rose higher and higher. At 7:33, the sun completely passed the top of the mountain. At 7:45, the pier was about to start operating preparations, and the staff asked us to leave the pier. So we went to the Erhai Lake coast of Caicun next to it to continue to enjoy the scenery of Caicun and Erhai Lake. Cai Village has now been developed into homestays and inns, but the commercial atmosphere is not strong, unlike Shuanglang, which has a smell of money. In addition, Cai Village has reserved a large piece of land by the Erhai Lake, which has been developed into a public green space for leisure and sightseeing. The scenery is very beautiful. Such beautiful scenery can probably only be seen in Caicai.

It's a beautiful place. I will go there again next time. It's unforgettable.

The inn in Cai Village is right outside Erhai Lake. There is no road on the beach, so you have to park your car in the parking lot in the village. The road in the village is narrow and winding, and it may be a long walk from where you live. We turned around in the village and finally found the hotel. It was almost six o'clock when we parked the car and took our things. There is a small seaside park near the hotel. There are some rocks in the sea, which is a good place to take pictures.
