Mountains in Dali are very high, with green pine and jade like bamboo. Brooks flow with pretty sounds. Flowers are blooming everywhere. The basins in Dali are always surround by mountain, brooks, fields, villages, happy people. It is crisscrossed with rivers and brooks running all year around. Erhai Lake, Cibi Lake, West Lake, Sky Lake in Dali are all known as Bright Pearls on the plateau with waves upon waves, willows after willows, and villages by villages surrounded. Erhai Lake is swept with thousand waves. Fish can be seen from clear water. White sails are dotted on the lake, which are surrounded by fishermen's villages. Willows are on the lakeshore with branches touching water. There are many famous tourist spots around the lake such as Three Pagoda Temple, Butterfly Spring, Erhai Park, Avalokitesvara Temple, and so on. They are so charming that Dali becomes much more interesting. Dali is so attractive that a visitor will forget his nostalgia just as the following poems describing Dali: "Water runs around mountains and mountains surround the cities. A river runs smoothly from villages with smoke floating upward. Birds are flying out from white clouds. Fish are swimming inside a pretty lady's mirror. The mystique mist comes up from the Lake. Boats and buildings in the lake tell autumn stories. A drawer who can draw tiger heads and sleeping dragons with just black ink, can not draw a picture like this with so many papers wasted." This poem was written by Li Jingo, a poet in the Yuan Dynasty. There are still the unique scenes hard to find in the world such as Shangguan Flowers, Xiaguan Wind, Cangshan Snow, Erhai Moon, Jade-Like Cloud, Butterfly Spring, and Weishan Bird Pass.
