This year's National Day did not go anywhere, is back to his hometown - Dali, and family members to climb the Cangshan Mountain, around the Erhai. Although I grew up where, living in that small city for nearly 20 years. But the mountains and the water there are never enough. I've been to a lot of places over the years, but my favorite is my hometown of Dali. The food is delicious, the scenery is beautiful, the climate is suitable, the humanities are rich, the countryside is beautiful, the warmth of the family
Driving to the Erhai is one thing I will do every time I go back to my hometown. Although the weather this year is not very good, can not see the unique Dali blue sky and white clouds, but it does not affect our excitement around the sea.
Braving the drizzle, we set off from Xiaguan along the sea road that winds around the sea to Shuanglang Town in the upper reaches of the Erhai Sea, ready to eat lunch at the "Garden" on the Golden Island in Shuanglang, then from the end of the river, turn back to the Butterfly Spring Zhoucheng to eat cold bean noodles, then turn into Xizhou Town to buy Xizhou poop, then all the way back to the ancient city of Yang's Garden to eat spicy fish, then to the evening of the Erhai Sea to the Yang family garden, and then the Yang family garden to eat spicy fish. Fish, and then go to Erhai Yue Wetland Park in the evening to see the musical fountain show, a day's itinerary lined up.

Along the Huanhai Road all the way to the north, the Erhai is like a long scroll slowly unfolded, listening to music, looking at the eyes of the Erhai feel a lot of memories as a child and popped out.
When I was very young, I often went to the beach with my father to fish, holding a half-meter long fishing line and squatting on the shoreline of the reef, waiting for the small stone fish to hook.
The water was so clear that you could see every move of the fish in the cracks of the rocks, and all you needed was to lift the line as soon as you saw the tail of the fish swallowing the earthworms, and the fish wouldn't be able to escape.
The stone fish are clumsy, even if they are lifted out of the water, they will not let go of their mouths, so it is particularly easy to be caught.
Looking at the Erhai Sea from the Golden Isle
There was a summer vacation that still sticks in my mind when I was a second-grader and my two older sisters and my older brother were home from college, so the four of us were playing in the Erhai Sea almost every day, and I was getting a tan.
Now looking back at the photos taken at the beach, we can still happily recall the time when whoever trapped their feet in the mudflats of the Erhai Sea, as a result of which their shoes could not be pulled out, so they had to go home barefoot, whoever was sunburned as if they were from Africa, only their teeth and the whites of their eyes were white, and whoever was secretly stealing barbecued fish behind everyone's back for more than 30 years, the time just quietly passed, and the only thing is that the Erhai Sea's blue and the beauty of the sea! The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
Erh Sea from Golden Island
Erh Sea in summer is suitable for fishing and swimming, but because of more rain and fog, the color is not as blue as in winter. The Erhai Sea in winter is particularly beautiful, because the Erhai Sea in winter will become particularly clear and clean, wave bright ripples, coupled with the winter seagulls soaring, fishing boats white sails, sparkling waves reflecting the Cangshan Mountain 19 peaks of the snow-capped, as well as the blue sky, warm sunshine, that moment is really the heart can be floating soaring in the air.
No wonder the old man always said that such a blue sky, such clouds and mountain beauty only hometown Dali only have.
Many of the fishing villages along the Erhai Sea are built on the back of the mountains and facing the water. Looking at the green tiles and white walls along the coast of the Sea Ring Road and the water-facing homes with flowers and green trees, you will always be reminded of Hai Zi's poem, "I have a house facing the sea, the flowers blossom in the spring"
"
A certain village in the Haidong
After digging in the color of the sky, I was able to find a place for my family to live. After passing through the colorful digs of Haidong, you will come to a famous place in the Erhai Sea, Xiaoputuo. It was originally a reef in the Erhai Sea, the reef type with a square seal, rumored to be Guanyin Da Shi left the seal of the sea. Small Putuo was built in the Ming Dynasty, for the pavilion-style building, divided into the upper and lower two floors, originally called the Guanyin Pavilion, but also because of its location is quite similar to the myth of the Guanyin resides in the land of the Putuo, so the name was changed to "small Putuo".
Small Putuo
The best time to visit Small Putuo is early in the morning. At this time, the fog curls on the sea, small Putuo sometimes hidden, like the Moon Palace, to be mounted on the small Putuo, only to see the surrounding fog surging, as if the white veil. This is one of the eight scenic spots in the Erhai Sea, "Misty Putuo".
Small Putuo around a lot of fried fish and taro shrimp cake vendors, many of which are salvaged from the shore in the morning, at noon into the belly of the tourists.

In the sea road pavement very close to the waterfront, so you will often see such a moored boat, there are a lot of photos pose beauty.

Near the village there are a lot of small poplars growing in the water along the shore, although the sea winds blowing almost all the leaves, but still beautiful.

We ate our lunch in the Golden Island "Garden", so we need to take a boat from Shuanglang to the Golden Island, which used to be a deserted small island, is now a national 4A attraction, renamed Nanzhao Island, it is famous and the love of the white painter Zhao Qing experience is very close to two young people in love "escaped", "the two young people in love", "the two young people in love". Love young people "fled" to this island, the painter for his wife on the island personally built houses, when the free island master, and finally the island is becoming more and more famous, it was the government "incorporated".
The painter's hut was changed into a bed and breakfast, the government built another hotel, called "Nanzhao Palace". The island is beautiful, sea and sky, the wind and moon; thousand-year-old banyan branches and leaves, the ancient cave coiled intertwined;
Island around the water and sand, Cang'er hundred miles of magnificent view, can be described as "mountain with people Lang, water and love long". Nearly one hundred acres of the island area, lying quietly in the blue sky, blue water in the Erhai. From a distance, it looks like a giant shuttle, and the strange and unique topography and geomorphology of the island contains unlimited island scenery.

Golden Island's embankment, ancient trees hanging upside down, willow swaying in the water, jagged lakes and rocks, blue waves lapping at the shore, the sound of waves.

The villa on Yuji Island, dancer Yang Liping's house, which has an image name of the "Moon Palace," can be seen in full view from Jin Island. The villa is located on the waterfront, and the glass floor in the living room overlooks the rippling waters of the Erhai Sea.

Every time we come to the Golden Isle, our family will be in the year Zhao Qing and his wife recluse exclusive courtyard, eat a meal, eat is the owner of the special mountain grass wild vegetables, made a pot of coarse tea, lounge chairs cool gossip, and so on the twilight of the west before returning to the double corridor by boat.
Small courtyard called "this garden", outside the door is the Erhai Sea, sitting in the door can easily see the tide, the water willows to help the wind clear swing. This courtyard has been featured in many TV dramas about Dali.
Now it has been converted into an inn with a wild atmosphere. It is crowded with tourists, and has lost all the charm and elegance of the island's first years of development.

One of the guest rooms in the inn is called "The Nest"
Shuanglang, on the east coast of the Erhai Sea, was predicted by my brother more than 20 years ago to become a hot spot for Dali tourists because of the beauty of its scenery and its unique location. A lot of cultural celebrities have built their homes here, and they have been living in the countryside for a long time.
With the opening of the sea road, tourists can easily reach after a few years of over-development and private construction seriously affect the water quality of the Erhai, so with the Erhai protection shut down the inns of a ban, a lot of illegal structures along the coast will face demolition.
Shuanglang 6 years ago
From the east side of the sea around back to the west coast, ate my favorite cold bean noodles in Zhoucheng, bought my best mouth - Xizhou poi, all the way straight to the Yang family garden in the ancient city of Dali, had a beautiful hot and sour fish, after the rawhide, we went straight back to the lower pass in front of the National Olympic Sports Center Square The Erhaiyue Wetland Park in Dali.
There is open water with clumps of reeds and wild rice, because the rain and fog cause the water to steam, so that people can not help but recite the "reed". Further north from this open waterfront is a terrific Erhaiyue Wetland Park, where morning and evening walks, hiking, kite flying, and watching the musical fountains are quite popular with the public, and one of the places I must go for a walk every time I go home.
At the observation deck of the Wetland Park, you can see the landscape of the east of the Erhai Sea at a glance, and it is also an excellent place to watch the sunrise over the Erhai Sea.

The hometown is too beautiful, the Erhai is too beautiful, I feel that describing it is very wordy, as a hometown treasure and hand-painted enthusiasts over the years also painted some of the hometown of the United States, but before the paintings are black and white pen drawings.
Because I've been learning watercolor lately, I decided to paint a few watercolor pictures of the Erhai Sea to practice painting and writing. I used a lot of color in these paintings because I always feel like I can't express my love for my hometown without using strong colors.
This painting is based on the impression of one year's Mid-Autumn Festival moonlight night when I was enjoying the moonlight on the sea in a canoe. The Erhai Sea under the moonlight is also surprisingly beautiful, the sea is calm, the bright moonlight reflection of the water is also sparkling, the great Cangshan Mountain in the moonlight reflection as if also gentle.
Our family around the small table tasting a variety of fruits, walnuts, chestnuts, mooncakes, there are other canoeing in the distance, the lake breeze spread the sound of a very long way, so that people suddenly gave birth to the illusion of the ancients swinging boat to the river and lake.
This is the painting is based on the spring walking in the Dali Road can see the scenery along the painting. At that time of the year, rapeseed flowers bloom, the entire west coast of the Erhai Sea will be dotted with large rapeseed flowers, vibrant.
Now there are many villages starting to engage in flower field tourism, so in addition to rapeseed flower fields there are patches of cosmos, marigold flower fields, lavender flower fields, rose flower fields, sunflower flower fields year-round round round in the west bank of the Erhai Sea in a large area of farmland open.
This painting, on the other hand, is based on memories of a fishing village at the foot of Tuan Shan Park when I was a child. There used to be a lot of fishing families living near the water, but with the expansion of urban development and the protection of the Erhai Sea, many of these villages have been expropriated and their houses relocated.
So now also want to see this water fishermen's scenery can go to Eryuan West Lake, that is also a very beautiful worth going to see a good place.
This last one is a reference to the network of a photo of the Erhai painting, the boat moored in the drizzle and my vacation saw almost exactly the same, so decisively painted down.
