Must-see tips for your trip: 📸 Best photo spots are Xizhou rice fields & Blue Moon Valley at Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, perfect for healing shots~☀️ October in Dali is 20°C+ during the day and cool in the morning and evening, bring a light jacket and sunscreen, very important! 🍜 Must-try foods include Ruishan cheese, cured pork rib hotpot, and Shuixiangyanghua; locals recommend small eateries for authentic flavors~🚗 Rent an electric bike with 150km+ range around Erhai Lake, avoid cycling under the midday sun for a more comfortable ride~🏔️ Carrying luggage on Lijiang Old Town’s stone-paved streets is exhausting, staying near the South Gate is more convenient!
