Erhai Lake

Erhai Lake is one of the most beautiful natural lakes in Dali, and there are different visual enjoyments whether you are overlooking or playing along the lake. This time I went to Erhai Park, the view is very wide, I can see the beautiful scenery of the whole Erhai at once, the lake is blue, the sky and white clouds are reflected in it, great for photography. Itinerary Recommendations: I recommend starting with Erhai Park, which is conveniently located and is perfect for taking pictures whether the sun is shining in the morning or the sun is setting. Strolling in the park, you can see Cangshan in the distance and overlook the lake. The whole journey is fresh and natural, and not too crowded. The best part is that there are many restaurants Cafe nearby, where you can slowly sip a drink and enjoy the lake view. Must-play items: 1. The high platform of the park overlooking the Erhai Lake, super healing! 2. Take a slow walk along the edge of the lake or rent a bike around the lake to enjoy the lake and mountain views from different angles. 3. Near the small pier by the lake can take a boat trip to Erhai (remember to check the boat schedule). 4. Shoot reflections, take pictures Natural beautiful scenery is most suitable for you who love to take pictures. Check-in location: The high platform of Erhai Park is a must-photograph; the wooden canyon by the lake is particularly artistic at night; and the reflection of Cangshan on the lake is beautiful, so you must take a few more pictures on a good day. Playing Tips and Notes: 1. Erhai Lake is open all year round, morning and evening atmosphere is different, if you want to avoid the crowds can choose morning or evening. 2. The temperature by the lake is lower in the morning and evening, and it is best to bring a thin jacket in the spring and autumn. 3. If you have the opportunity to see wild cats and dogs (especially like the cats near the ancient city of Dali), remember not to feed casually, you can watch from a distance. 4. There are many restaurants or coffee shops along the lake, Check clear opening hours, while remember not to litter. 5. If you want to go around the lake, you can consider renting a bicycle, which can be completed in about 3-4 hours, not too tiring.
