Friends who want to see seagulls need to go during this period🕊️ - Sun protection and warmth: The ultraviolet rays in Dali are strong, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. Be sure to take sun protection and warmth measures, bring sunglasses 🕶️ ice sleeves, SPF50+ sunscreen, a bucket hat with a rope or a windproof scarf. - Tips for avoiding pitfalls: There are too many people at the S-bend in Panxi Village.

Not cycling around Erhai Lake in Dali would truly be a major travel regret! Below, I'll share the most romantic scenic route for cycling along the western side of the lake 👇 🚴‍♀️Recommended route for cycling the western side of Erhai Lake: Caicun Wharf 👉 Xiabo Deng 👉 Internet-famous S Bay 👉 Covered Bridge 👉 Haishe Park ✔️Caicun Wharf is the starting point of romance. In the morning, the sun shines on Erhai Lake, the waves shimmer, and boats are quietly docked at the wharf. Every photo you take has a fresh, Japanese aesthetic. ✔️At the internet-famous S Bay, the iconic curve contrasts with the azure Erhai Lake, making it picture-perfect from any angle. Standing on the shore, with the sea breeze gently blowing through your hair, the atmosphere is simply magical. ✔️There's also the Covered Bridge. Its white structure complements the endless Erhai Lake, especially in the evening when the setting sun casts a warm glow, creating an incredibly romantic and cinematic scene. ✔️Haishe Park is full of natural charm. Shaped like a peninsula extending into Erhai Lake, it's surrounded by water and shaded by lush trees, allowing you to feel intimately embraced by nature. The temperature in Dali is just right, neither too cold nor too hot, making it the perfect time for cycling. If you're worried about getting sunburned, start before 10 am or after 6 pm🚴‍♀️ During these times, the sunlight is gentle, the breeze is light, and cycling is super comfortable and relaxing~ These past few days, I've been exploring different routes every day, avoiding crowded internet-famous spots, because everywhere along the way is scenic. With Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake, blue skies, and white clouds, the ecological corridor's vegetation and landscape are incredibly beautiful. Every stop offers a picture-perfect moment📷. When you're tired of cycling, find a cafe by Erhai Lake, sit for a while, sip coffee, gaze at the lake, and enjoy a relaxing time☕ I rented my bike next to the homestay, the kind with flowers💐. At first, I thought the flowers were a bit tacky, but when cycling along Erhai Lake, they brought a sense of romance and poetic beauty! Bike rentals are 10 yuan each, with basically no time limit, and you can ride until 9 pm🚴‍♀️ Ladies, you must come to Dali and cycle around Erhai Lake to experience this romance for yourselves💕

#springwander This stunning archway under Langqiao Bridge feels like a gateway to the heavens, where light and shadow play in perfect harmony. The curved structure frames the open sky, making every snapshot effortlessly cinematic. Whether capturing golden hour glow or the vast blue above, this spot guarantees striking photos with minimal effort. A simple yet breathtaking reminder of how architecture and nature blend in quiet elegance. 🌿✨📷

Dali is a romantic💕and beautiful place, with many interesting people from all over the world living and traveling here. You'll discover that life is much more than what you see in front of you. 🌤️Travel dates📆: Try to avoid holidays, as accommodation prices will be much higher. Avoid the rainy season from early May to July/August. Be sure to check the weather forecast in advance. 🚗Transportation: External transportation: Dali✈️Airport is small, and there aren't many flights. You can compare airfare prices and choose to land in Lijiang or Kunming and transfer, taking the opportunity to explore those cities as well. Dali internal transportation: It is recommended to rent a car for the Erhai Lake loop§(the entire loop is over 100 km and riding an electric scooter is really tiring). There are many car rental agencies in Dali, and your accommodation can also help you contact one. A small convertible is great for taking photos (but it's very windy and sunny, so it's better to put the top up when you're not taking photos). 🏨Accommodation: There are many guesthouses and hotels to choose from in Dali Santorini and the surrounding area. If you want to experience the local customs, you can choose to stay in a guesthouse in Shuanglang Town or near Xiaoputu.

This Dali travel guide is packed with useful information. Join me in exploring the city that waits for only one person in a lifetime. I. Accommodation Options 1. Xiaguan City Center: Choose downtown Xiaguan if you prefer not to stay near Dali Ancient City. This is undoubtedly an effortless and convenient option. It offers easy access to other tourist spots and is convenient for traveling to Haixi or Haidong. 2. Wenbi Village: This village boasts a beautiful environment, open views, and stunning scenery. However, transportation here can be relatively inconvenient, making it less suitable for travelers with mobility issues. 3. Outside Dali Ancient City: Staying outside the ancient city offers convenient transportation, numerous restaurants, and a vibrant night market. Its proximity to the ancient city allows you to easily explore its charm. 4. Caicun Wharf or Longkan Wharf: These locations are close to Erhai Lake and are excellent spots for watching the sunrise. Although transportation may not be very convenient, they offer a unique travel experience. 5. Shuanglang: If you love beachfront properties, Shuanglang is a good choice. However, it is relatively far from the high-speed rail station and airport. II. Erhai Lake Tour A tour around Erhai Lake is one of the essential activities in Dali. The entire loop around the lake is about 140 km, divided into the Haixi (west) line and the Haidong (east) line. The Haixi line mainly consists of ecological corridors where driving cars or riding electric bikes is prohibited, but your chartered vehicle can take you directly to the entrances of various scenic spots, allowing you to enjoy the scenery effortlessly. The Haidong line mainly consists of coastal roads where you can freely park by the seaside to admire the lake view. If time permits, you can choose to complete the tour in two days. ~Lake Tour Route: Ancient City - Panxi S-bend - Covered Bridge and Lone Tree - Xizhou Ancient Town - Shuanglang Ancient Town - Luwoshan Ruins - Wenbi Village - Santorini Dali - Xingsheng Bridge - Return to Ancient City Day 1: Haixi Line 1.

Other local specialties like cold rice noodles and fish hotpot are also worth trying. While enjoying the food, you can also try some DIY activities, such as tie-dyeing in Zhoucheng, the hometown of tie-dyeing. IV. Practical Tips 1. Chartering a vehicle is recommended for a more flexible travel experience. 2. Dali has strong UV rays and large temperature differences between day and night, so pay attention to sun protection and warmth. 3. Wear comfortable shoes for long walks. 4. Bring rain gear in case of weather changes. Plan your trip according to this guide! I hope you have a pleasant and unforgettable trip to Dali!

Don’t take a taxi after getting off at Dali Station! The taxi costs fifty or more! It’s too expensive! Take bus No. 8, only 3⃣️ yuan per person! Direct access to the ancient city! If you want to stay, you can book in advance online. There is no need to choose too expensive one! We lived not far from March Street and we even caught the March Street! Day 1 Xizhou Going to Xizhou Ancient Town: Don’t type 🚖, navigate to Cang’ermen! Go straight to the right for about twenty meters and you will see some buses! Even if the bus is not full, the driver will ask you where you are going on the side of the road. It only costs 7⃣️ yuan per person! Then get off at the intersection, it's only a few steps away from the ancient town! Don’t take the shared yellow car; it costs five dollars per person. Students, please walk a little longer. The ancient town has more life atmosphere than Dali Ancient Town, it is worth a visit! The covered bridge is very close from Xizhou Ancient Town to the covered bridge! If you rent an electric car, it is very convenient. If you take a taxi, it will only cost about ten yuan. Ten dollars is a good deal if there are a lot of people. There is no need to go to the internet celebrity S Bay! It’s true that when I passed by there, it was so crowded ❌, but there were very few people on the covered bridge! The photos are very good! You can also ride a shared bike around Erhai Lake! Caicun is a village with many people! The photos on the Internet that show a tree with a bench under it can be taken everywhere! Caicun Pier! There are covered bridges! There is no need to go. Day 2 Dali Ancient Town Everyone says that Dali Ancient Town is only worth visiting at night! I think both are fine. Taking photos during the day is very good, and there are fewer people, so it won’t be crowded.

My friends and I spent a day in Dali on a car tour around Erhai Lake with a photographer, and I love every photo taken! ❤️ If you like taking photos, I highly recommend hiring a photographer to take photos of you during a car tour. The photographer will drive you around to take photos and have fun. You can take photos with a DSLR camera while traveling, and you can stop whenever you want. It's very convenient. ⭐️ The photographer is also a tour guide. The best part is that you can travel freely and stop wherever you want to take photos. The photographer is very familiar with the shooting locations and angles, so you won't waste any time. 🌊 Recommended route for a photo tour around Erhai Lake: Dali Ancient City - Xiapo Village - Langqiao Bridge - Xizhou Ancient Town - Shuanglang Ancient Town - Wenbi Village - Xingsheng Bridge - Dali Ancient City ✅ The photos shared above were taken by the photographer from the Dali Chenxi Studio during our car tour around Erhai Lake.

- I have always been obsessed with the big idea. It is difficult to take a long vacation during normal days, and I don’t like the crowded crowds during holidays. So I simply took a 2-day leave before the holiday and made sure to take an extreme special forces trip to fulfill my wish. - Day 1: Chengdu-Xichang, stay at a hotel in Qionghai, Xichang. The hotel is only a 2-minute walk from the popular spot of Qionghai Scenic Area (Diaoyutai), which is very convenient for sightseeing. The next day: Xichang-Dali, set off at 5 am, the tram was charged twice and the journey took nearly 8 hours, and we arrived at Xindi around 1 am. We also went to Langqiao and Shenjiang Village, mainly playing in the Haixi area. (The weather forecast said it would rain on the third day) Day 3: Dali-Xichang, it rained and the temperature dropped by 10 degrees. In the morning, I went to Longkan Ancient Ferry, drank warm Yunnan mushroom soup, and went to the vegetable market to buy delicious strawberries to go to Xichang. (If you have enough time, you can go to Haidong area) Day 4: Xichang-Leshan, sleep until you wake up naturally in the morning, spend the morning eating and drinking, have a bowl of local Xiong's fresh beef and mutton offal noodles, drink Black Swan Cafe Black Swan Coffee at Qionghai Beach and bask in the sun, and then set off to Leshan for the New Year in the afternoon~ - High-intensity driving time, driving alone the whole way🚗, once again refreshed my endurance, witnessing a saying: everything depends on human efforts, as long as you want, there is nothing you can't do👏.

1. The bridge is one of the attractions in the Erhai Ecological Corridor. You can ride a bike or drive to "Jia Ye Coffee" and walk straight for 1 minute to reach the Erhai Lake. You can park on both sides of the village road for CNY 10. The bridge hole is like a picture frame, framing the big tree in the water. There are many people waiting in line to take pictures. We went there in the afternoon, and it was a bit backlit. In addition to the bridge, the scenery along the Erhai Lake is also very good. 2. The bridge was once a canal used for pumping water for irrigation. It is surrounded by the sea on three sides and lies quietly by the Erhai Lake. The arched bridge has been abandoned for many years. It has been abandoned by time and has been guarding the Erhai Lake for many years. I don't know when this abandoned arched bridge returned to people's sight and became a beautiful scenery and a popular attraction. In fact, it is no longer important that the bridge has been abandoned. It has its own beauty. The blue sky, the bright sunshine, the sparkling sea, the very characteristic bridge, and the blue of the Erhai Lake make the scenery unique! Standing next to the bridge, I let the sun shine on me, let the wind of the Erhai Lake blow past my ears, look at the Cangshan Mountain in the distance, and look at the Erhai Lake up close. I took pictures of the Cangshan Mountain, the Erhai Lake, and the bridge like poetry and the distance. The bridge, under the bridge, and the bridge hole are all the best angles. The bridge hole is a natural arched picture frame, and you can take beautiful pictures from any angle.

🛣️The Haixi Ecological Corridor runs from Yangnan Creek to Taoyuan Wharf, with a total length of about 43 kilometers, connecting all the highlights of Haixi. And because vehicles are prohibited in the ecological corridor, it is not suitable for self-driving here, and cycling is the best way to play. 🚴Car rental methods 1️⃣ Shared bicycles There are many shared bicycles in the ecological corridor. You need to pay in advance to scan 🐎, and the charges are divided into time periods, about 6-10 yuan per hour. The advantage is that you can pick up and return the car at any time, but the disadvantage is that there are no cars when there are many people. 2️⃣Villagers rent a car The front of the car is decorated. Although the flowers in the basket are plastic, it is still possible to take pictures from a distance. It is suitable for girls to pose for photos. It costs about 20-30 yuan a day. The advantage is that there are many stores and it is easy to rent The disadvantage is that you cannot return the car to another place. 3️⃣ Own car It is definitely more comfortable to ride your own bike, but it is a big problem to transport your own bike to your destination. ⛲️Attractions along the ecological corridor: Yangnan River➡️Xindi Coffee➡️Sansheng Island➡️Longkan Pier➡️Cai Village➡️Panxi S Bay➡️Covered Bridge➡️Sea Tongue Park➡️Taoyuan Pier 🚌In addition to cycling, you can also take a regular sightseeing bus here.

🙌 Itinerary: Longkan Wharf - Caicun Wharf - Majiuyi - Panxi S Bay - Corridor Bridge (Bridge Tunnel) - Xizhou Ancient Town 📍 Longkan Wharf: You can watch the sunrise 🌅 Remember to check the weather and sunrise time in advance. We couldn't get up, so we didn't see it haha 📍S Bay: There are a lot of people and it feels quite ordinary. The scenery further ahead is also beautiful and there are fewer people. There's no need to spend too much time here. 📍Corridor Bridge: There is a row of bridge tunnels where you can take photos. It's also a very crowded spot, but the photos turn out pretty good. 📍Xizhou Ancient Town: Next to the ancient town is a large field of wheat, where many people take photos. The main attractions are the wheat fields and the corner tower. There are some special snacks in the town (recommended are the bean curd and fresh meat pies, shown in the last two pictures). The fresh meat pies are from a roadside stall. A local said they often come to buy several at a time. I tried an original flavor one and it was indeed delicious 😋! Personally, I feel there's no need to specifically check in at tourist spots. Riding along the West Line of the lake is a beautiful scenery, and every second is healing 🌳 🛵 Transportation: 🌟 Take a taxi from the old town to Longkan Wharf, play, take photos, and check in. This is where we started our bike ride. 🌟 Rent an electric bike from Longkan Wharf. Note that electric bikes rented from outside cannot enter the West Line of the lake, so you can only rent bicycles or scan for electric bikes. 🌟 Ordinary shared electric bikes cost 15r/h (pay attention to the remaining kilometers). There are also dog-shaped electric bikes that cost 30r/half hour (picture 11, which can seat two people, is very stylish and can connect to Bluetooth to play music hhh). 🌟 Ride to the last entrance to Xizhou Ancient Town. There are several exits nearby where people will ask if you are going to Xizhou Ancient Town. If needed, there will be electric cars to take you there. It costs 10r for two people and the distance is about 2 kilometers. It's also a bit of a walk. 🥣 About lunch: We ate near Caicun Wharf at a place called Feifei Private Kitchen (picture 16). The signature dish is fragrant braised chicken and the rose scrambled eggs are also good! Recommended! ⚠️ Precautions: 🌟 Be sure to pay attention to sun protection. The UV rays are very strong. Remember to wear long-sleeved sun protection clothing. It's best to have a mask, hat, and sunglasses all arranged. There will also be some small flying insects while riding.

On the corridor, one sees the Ning Gallery Bridge, standing guard between the mountains and waters. Merging with the landscape, chasing dreams in the world of mortals. In Shouning town, the Chan Creek flows from northwest to southeast through the city, and on this less than 3 kilometers long stream, stand the Feiyun Bridge, Shengping Bridge, Xiangong Bridge, and Dengyun Bridge - four gallery bridges. This is a rare group of wooden arch bridges in China, which was listed as a national cultural heritage site in 2006. Walking downstream along Chan Creek, one immediately sees the Dengyun Bridge. The bridge was originally built during the Qianlong period of the Qing dynasty, also known as Yangmei Bridge, with a total length of 33.8 meters, a width of 4.2 meters, and a span of 30.8 meters, connecting the north and south banks. 'First the bridge was built, then the village was established, and the village thus got its name from Yangmei Bridge. In 2009, due to the expansion of the eastern district of Shouning County, it was relocated to its current location,' said Zhou Hong, a staff member of the Shouning County Culture and Tourism Bureau. Venturing into the gallery house, one can see that it is a structure with four pillars and nine purlins in a mortise and tenon style, with 17 bays, 72 pillars, and a double-sloped roof overhead, with the bridge abutments at both ends built with strip stones. Under the eaves next to the pillars are wooden benches, where countless travelers from ancient to modern times must have sat or lain. Shouning has high mountains and cold waters, with a large temperature difference between day and night, so the gallery house has carved window flowers on both sides for ventilation and lighting. The window flowers are either like vases or like cattail leaf fans, each one unique. Gazing through the window flowers, the vast landscape is fully in view, and the ancient bridge complements this natural scenery beautifully.
