Dali is stunning, but I really don't recommend visiting in June

Guys! Who can understand this 😭 June in Dali is just illegally beautiful! The wind from Cangshan Mountain, the waves of Erhai Lake 🌊 plus incredibly delicious food... I've compiled this ultimate guide to help you unlock Dali's romance and relaxation! 🌅 Hidden gems! Less crowded yet super photogenic spots ✅ Panxi S Bend The S Bend at 7 AM is absolutely magical!! 🌄 Sunlight sparkling on Erhai Lake's surface~ Rent a bike 🚲 for a leisurely ride along the lakeside road with Cangshan Mountain on your left and Erhai Lake on your right - every shot looks cinematic! Don't miss the famous "Redwood Tree" photo spot~ ✅ Xizhou Ancient Town A "mini paradise" hidden in Dali! Bai-style architecture with blue tiles and white walls creates such vibes~ Stroll through the town snacking - must try "Xizhou Baba" pastries with crispy crust and sweet/savory fillings that'll make you drool! 🥮 The rice field-side cafes are incredibly soothing too - sip coffee ☕️ while watching golden waves of wheat sway~ 🍜 Foodies must-try! Locals' secret food list 🍛 Dali Sour-Spicy Fish A must-eat! Tender fish swimming in rich, tangy broth with papaya fragrance - you won't stop eating! Pair with steamed rice for ultimate bliss~ 🍚 🥘 Bai Ethnic Three-Course Tea Called "tea" but actually a snack set! Bitter first, sweet second, and reflective third~ Start with roasted tea, then sweet rushan (milk fan) pastries, ending with fruit soup - so unique! 🍦 Rose Rushan Ice Cream Dali-exclusive treat! Traditional milk fan transformed into ice cream with floral rose sweetness - incredible texture! Eat while exploring the ancient town for maximum happiness~ 🌹 🚗 Pro tips! Save yourself trouble • Transport: Rent a car or charter for Erhai Lake tours 🚙 Carpooling is budget-friendly and allows photo stops~ • Outfits: Big temperature drops at night - bring a light jacket! Strong UV during day - sunscreen, sunglasses and hats essential! • Stay: For vibes choose Dali Ancient Town; for quiet choose Caicun or Panxi~ 💡 Newbie warnings! • ❌ Skip scenic spot rose cakes! Local supermarkets sell authentic ones at half price~ • ⚠️ Choose e-bikes for Erhai cycling! Regular bikes will exhaust you~ • 👟 Wear comfy shoes! Ancient towns have cobblestones - happy feet mean happy travels~ ✨ June in Dali is romantic poetry and warm earthly delights~ Save this guide and start your healing getaway now! 💕
