24日上午，我們從大理啟程往麗江，走大麗線S221省道，花了近四個半小時才抵達麗江古城。這趟路程，把我們從海拔1,900米帶到了2,400米，算是往更高海拔目的地的第一波。
In the morning of July 24th, we travelled 190km via the S221 Provincial Road, from Dali to Lijiang. We’re almost 4.5 hours on the way, through the mountains and valleys, from altitude of 1,900 m to 2,400 m. This is the first introduction in our journey through the mountain area, and it could be seen as a preparation for the coming days to even higher destinations.

依行程，我們在大理只停留一天，次日就繼續往麗江前進。這天上午，我們參觀了崇聖寺後，就在綿綿細雨中抵達大理古城。撐著傘、匆匆地在古城裡走了一小圈，又接著往蝴蝶泉。所以，遊玩洱海後，天氣甚好，就讓師傅把我們帶回古城自由活動。這樣就能悠哉地逛古城、登上五華樓賞景，入夜後才會酒店休息。
We stayed at Dali only for a single day. After visiting Chongsheng Temple, we arrived Dali Ancient City in rain. We could able to have a short tour in this old town and left to Butterfly Spring.

下午兩點，我們從蝴蝶泉附近的碼頭乘坐杜鵑號遊輪遊洱海。洱海，長約40公里，寬約7-8公里，面積250平方公里，是雲南省第二大、中國第七大的淡水湖。兩個半小時的旅程，讓我們以很悠閒的方式感受洱海之大、蒼山之美，也為早晨匆促的行程來個緩衝。
14pm, we joined a cruise tour to enjoy the beauty of Erhai Lake and the Cangshan Mountain that surround the lake. Erhai is situated at 1,972 metres above sea level. In size, the North-South length of the lake is 40 kilometres and the East-West width is roughly 7–8 kilometres. Its area is 250 square kilometres, making it the second largest lake of Yunnan Province. This 2,5 hour journey was really the best way to relax ourselves after the rushing programmes in the morning.

離開崇聖寺，我們在細雨中匆匆地逛了大理古城，然後就直奔蝴蝶泉。蝴蝶泉也是電影《五朵金花》的阿鵬哥和金花對歌談情的地方，以“蝶”、“泉”、“樹”有名。如今這裡的蝶海奇觀不再，只剩下泉與樹，還有一群群慕名而來的遊客。
