Have you ever been to Erhai Lake in Dali?

🌈Erhai Lake, located in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, is one of China's famous highland lakes. The scenery of Erhai Lake is picturesque in all four seasons. In spring, pear blossoms and peach blossoms compete for beauty along the lake; in summer, the lake reflects the snow-capped Cangshan Mountains; in autumn, the moon over Erhai Lake is enchanting; and in winter, the sunshine on the lake brings a touch of warmth. The blue sky, white clouds, Cangshan Mountains, and Erhai Lake complement each other, creating a breathtakingly beautiful picture. 🍓You should always go to Dali! Wait for a sunrise by Erhai Lake and encounter old times in the ancient town. 📍Recommended attractions 🌊Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake ⭐️Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake are interdependent, and are two of the most beautiful sceneries. Together, they constitute the most magnificent landscape of Dali. The Erhai Lake has a vast lake surface and clear water. The Cangshan Mountain is majestic and verdant, and the landscape is picturesque. 🌈Dali Ancient City ⭐️Dali Ancient City: Located at the foot of the beautiful Cangshan Mountain, the streets are laid out in a checkerboard pattern and have a strong classical atmosphere. Stroll along the cobblestone roads, feel the passage of time, and appreciate the unique charm of Bai architecture and culture. 🌈Wuhua Building 📍Wuhua Building was originally the state guesthouse of the Nanzhao King.

Cangshan Mountain

Dali China, a magical place. #travel Day 1: Arrival from the Dali airport, get to the hotel. it's about 50mins journey, as we arrived at rush hour. Had a walk in Dali Old town. Day 2: Cable car to go to Cangshan. then took a taxi to ShuangLang old town, then to Xingsheng Bridge. Day 3: Went to XiZhou old Town. [Must-Visit Attractions] 1.Dali Old Town, the night view is beautiful, you see lots of people. there are millions of shops you can go in and check out local delicacies or buying little gifts for friends and family. 2. Cangshan Mountain, there are several roots to go up. we tried XiMaTan cable car, there are two stages to go up. the view is magnificent. you can take Erhai to full view. once you change to the 2nd stage, you are almost all in the cloud, it's magical. once you are at the end of the cable car journey, you can still walk to XiMaTan (there are stairs leading to it, suggest to have oxygen bottles with you, in case you are feeling not too well, as it's almost 4000meters above sea level. When coming down, we decided to walk to gantong Cable car, which is about 2 hours walk down. you don't need to buy tickets again for Gantong cable car, as this is covered in your ticket. 3. ShuangLang Old Town. LongKan MaTou & Eco corridor. Xingsheng Bridge. Make sure you are covered or make sure to put sun cream on, you can get tanned really easily since Dali is in a high altitude. The view in eco-corridor was beautiful, cars or motorcycles are not allowed to get in, there are bicycles or low speed scooters are available for renting. On one side, there are lots of Bai ethnic buildings, hotels, all nicely decorated with plants, flowers. on the other side, it's ErHai, the beautiful lake. there are coffee shops nearby, lots of photogenic shops. ShuangLang is another highlight, really nice views and food available in your fingers tips. rose cake is a local delicacies, you can find lots of shops are selling it. Restaurants, must try YunHeYi restaurant, it's on a hill, the views are just amazing.
