Erhai Lake is one of

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.

Erhai Lake

🌞 Escape to Dali for holiday vibes—think golden fields, dramatic mountains, and ridiculously photogenic blue skies! If you’re craving outdoor natural scenery and a serious hit of “Nature-Vision” (hello, rapeseed flowers!), Erhai Lake is absolute perfection. 🚗✨ Must-See Place: Erhai Lake Address: No. 1 Henan Road, Xiaguan, Dali Hours: Open year-round, all day Insider tip: Head out early or close to sunset when the light makes the landscape totally magical—fields glow gold, and you get Insta-worthy views of the mountains framed by fluffy white clouds. Pack a picnic and bring a camera: wandering the lake shores is literally a zen-level chill session. If you're visiting in spring, rapeseed flowers explode in bright yellow, making the whole area feel dreamy. Getting Around: The easiest way to explore Erhai Lake is to rent an ebike or bicycle—roads around the lake are smooth and safe. (Bonus: It’s way more flexible than taxis or public buses, especially for stopping at hidden scenic spots.) Food Fix: Local must-tries include Dali rice noodles and fresh grilled fish from the lake. Pop into any small eatery near the pier for the real deal. Travel Tips: No visa hassles for most tourists (check your country rules), and the weather is pleasant year-round—just pack a light jacket for mountain breezes. Cash is king in rural spots, so have some yuan handy; digital payments aren't everywhere yet. #DaliDreams #ErhaiLake #NatureVision #ChinaTravel #SunnyExplores

Yunnan’s Stunning Secret Scenic Spots Photo Journey

Erhai Lake

✨ Wandering Through Dali, Yunnan ☁️ ✨ Yunnan has always been on my travel wish list, and this time I finally made it to Dali — a dreamlike town surrounded by mountains and the sparkling Erhai Lake 🌊⛰️. Every corner here feels like it’s been kissed by the wind and painted by sunlight 🎨☀️. 🚙💨 Our first stop was the Jeep Flower Field 🌸🌼 — a sea of colorful blooms stretching endlessly, with classic Jeeps parked for that perfect “wanderlust” photo moment 📸✨. Standing among the flowers, I could feel the peace and freedom that only nature can give . Next, we visited the Santorini-style spot 💙🏛️ — pure white buildings with blue domes overlooking Erhai Lake. For a second, I almost forgot I was in China and felt like I was in Greece 🇬🇷💭. The breeze from the lake carried the scent of sunshine and freedom. Then came the Lovers’ Bridge 🌉💞 — a romantic spot said to bring good luck in love. Even the air here feels softer and sweeter 🕊️💕. Maybe wishes really do travel across the bridge to the sky ✨. Of course, no trip to Dali is complete without exploring the Ancient Town 🏮⛩️ — cobblestone streets, vintage teahouses, and local crafts everywhere. I sipped rose tea 🌹🍵, listened to street musicians 🎶, and watched time slow down. And finally, standing by Erhai Lake at sunset 🌅, watching the colors melt into the horizon, I felt completely at peace. The reflection of the mountains, the sound of waves, and the cool breeze reminded me — sometimes, happiness is just being here, now 💫💖. 🌈✨ Dali, you’ve captured my heart — I’ll be back again someday 💌 #Dali #Yunnan #TravelDiaries #ErhaiLake #Wanderlust #SlowLife #TravelMoments 🌸🌊💙
