Come to Erhai Lake this National Day and seize the opportunity—today is the last day to see the Erhai fishing lights

Heard you came to Dali this National Day? Tomorrow is the last day for the fishing lights (October 5) What is Erhai’s "Starry Sea" (fishing lights)❓ This is a large-scale natural night fishing scene regulated by Erhai’s ecology, where fishing boat lights scatter across the lake like stars—so romantic💕 · 📸 Here are some great spots for photos: 1️⃣ [Yunxiang Mountain] Overlooking the entire Erhai Lake, with fishing lights and city nightscape in one frame🌌 2️⃣ [Wenbi Village East Coast Line] Coastal road + twinkling fishing lights, full of atmosphere~ 3️⃣ [Top of Cang’er Avenue] Wide view, can capture the fishing lights forming a Milky Way effect! 4️⃣ [Erhai Park Top] Free and photogenic, loved by locals too! · 🕘 When is the best time to see it? ✅ Every day after sunset during the blue hour → 9:00 PM ✅ The fishing lights are densest, with stunning interplay of light and shadow ✅ Want to avoid crowds? After 9:00 PM is also fine, but remember to go with company! Join the group chat · 💡 Travel tips (super useful!) 👗 Outfit: Light-colored clothes look great on camera! But it can be windy at night, so bring a jacket~ 📷 Gear: Camera/phone + tripod (essential for night shots), power bank, mosquito repellent (lots of bugs by the lake) 🚗 Transportation: Driving is most flexible, popular spots fill up early! · ❗️ Final reminder: Please avoid shining strong lights directly on the lake when viewing the lights, Protect Erhai’s environment and take your trash with you~ · National Day tourists are many, so find a waterside guesthouse to stay—watching the fishing lights at night is the right way👇 [Sanse Yunhe] 📍 Dali Erhai Shuanglang Ancient Town Shuanglang Ancient Town in Dali, convenient for food and drink ▸ Facing Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake; prime spot for sunset views ▸ French-style light luxury architecture ▸ Sea view café, restaurant, and popular photo spots ▸ Sea view rooms with direct views of Cangshan, Erhai, and the horizon ▸ Courtyard rooms enjoy French-style upscale central garden views ▸ Comfortable bedding🛏️, Marshall speakers📻, Dyson hairdryer🌬️, custom bath sets · This National Day, No need to travel far or squeeze with crowds, Come to the shore of Erhai Lake, And experience a limited-time romance just for you💙
