Weishan Ancient Town! If you go to Dali and miss this, you'll really be missing out

Weishan Ancient Town is truly a must-visit! It's full of life, with many ancient buildings to admire within the town, and the food is dazzlingly diverse. Nearby Weibao Mountain is a sacred Taoist site, and the exquisite wood carvings at the Changchun Palace are awe-inspiring! Xingyi Torch Festival We were very lucky to have encountered the local Torch Festival, which is a grand event. Every household has beautifully decorated torches at their doors, and there are many large torches in the cultural square. Everyone throws rosin on them to make the flames burn even brighter. You can really find genuine happiness in it. Weibao Mountain Weibao Mountain is divided into the front and back mountains. The front mountain has many Taoist temples, while the back mountain only has Changchun Palace. We visited the front mountain first and then the back mountain, from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon. According to the chartered driver, it was still a relatively short time, and it's very demanding physically. If you have limited time or physical strength, you can just visit Changchun Palace in the back mountain, which is the essence of the place. The carvings are lifelike, and the murals are detailed and colorful. Nanzhao Museum I think the most spectacular part is the Sun Palace, where the ancient all-wood building houses exquisitely carved wooden doors, which are of great ornamental value. Other Wenhua Academy Quite beautiful, worth a visit Wen Temple There is an admission fee of 10 yuan, worth a visit Mengyang Park Just an ordinary park where locals gather Yi Gen Mian Su Lao San Yi Gen Mian The queue is long, but it moves quickly. It's quite tasty but not astonishing Zhu Ji Yi Gen Mian Not many people in line, but it's very slow. Personally, I think it's much better than Su Lao San, really great! Lao Wang Guo Jiang Ersi Not bad, not particularly delicious Fan Ji Shuan Cai We went to eat there twice during our stay in Weishan Ancient Town. It tastes like Mao Cai, or hot pot. It's delicious, and if you're tired of other Yunnan dishes, you can try it. Master Kun His food is really good, especially the flavored eggplant, which is quite special. The vegetarian chicken and cold pine needle salad are also very tasty and unique. The hot and sour tendon is also delicious.
