These corners of Dali are stunningly beautiful

When you come to Dali, you must take a boat tour on Erhai Lake! Feel the sea breeze and look at the Cangshan Mountains, and you'll feel completely free~Here’s a super healing one-day Erhai Lake tour guide for you to keep✨ 🌊 Must-visit highlights of the Erhai Lake boat tour: 1️⃣ Dali Port Boat Terminal (Xiaguan Terminal): This is the main boarding point. The boat tour circles around Erhai Lake, lasting about 3 hours. 📍 Address: Erhai South Road, Dali City 2️⃣ Nanzhao Style Island: The boat stops here for 30 minutes. The island has many popular photo spots, and the observation deck at the top offers a panoramic view of Erhai Lake. 3️⃣ Xiao Putuo: A mini island on Erhai Lake, where many seagulls fly around the boat in winter. 4️⃣ Shuanglang Ancient Town: You can choose to get off here to explore. Finding a seaside café to relax is super comfortable. 🚢 Tips for the tour: - There are large boats (140 RMB/person) and small boats (200 RMB/charter). - For sunrise views, choose the 9 AM departure; for sunset, choose the 3 PM departure. - Be sure to wear a hat and apply sunscreen! The UV rays at Erhai Lake are very strong. 🍴 Food recommendations: 【Near the terminal】 ✔️ Dali Duan Gongzi: Their signature mushroom hotpot is amazing. ✔️ Erhai Renjia: Locals love their sour and spicy fish. ✔️ Rushan Xiaowu: Freshly baked rushan cheese with rose sauce. 🏠 Accommodation recommendations: It’s best to stay near Xiaguan Terminal for easy access to the boat the next day. We recommend Erhai Tianyu Indigo, where you can watch the Erhai sunrise right from the balcony! 📌 Practical tips: 1. No need to buy boat tickets in advance; it’s more convenient to buy them on-site at the terminal. 2. Bring some bread to feed the seagulls for great photos. 3. Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature difference between morning and evening at Erhai Lake is large.
