    "Dali Qingmai Seaview Resort Hotel really feels that it is the most correct decision to live here in Dali, Yunnan! The location is excellent, facing the Bohai Sea. It is also super convenient to take the Bohai bus. You can watch the sunrise in the morning. Wake up in the evening to watch the sunset. The opposite side of the road is the Bohai Sea. Feeding the seagulls is very nice! ! Entering the room shocked me! Super sea view balcony. I took N photos with my girlfriend and I also made a film in minutes. I can watch the Bohai Sea in a daze and blow the hair. I sit in the seat and chat and relax. I love the bathroom in the room! There are two sinks and an indispensable big bathtub! The whole house is equipped with smart homes and assistants. It is too friendly to lazy people like me. ~ The hotel is very intimate and also provides afternoon tea and good night sweet soup. The fruit is freshly washed and eaten. It is cold and cool. I really want to stay here. If you also want to experience the blue Bohai Sea and the cloudy Cangshan Mountain. Feel the feeling of time being slowed down, you can take beautiful photos of life everywhere, then come to Qingmai to enjoy a good life."

    Highlights: Erhai Lake is located on the eastern side of the ancient city of Dali at the foot of Mount Cangshan. Nominated as one of the four famous views in Dali, it is a destination you must not miss! The scenery there is spectacular. With good weather and lighting most of the year, it is an ideal location for landscape photographers. Every village surrounding the lake has its own unique style and highlights. One of the common ways of touring Erhai is to rent an electric scooter or car. There are also boat rides available if you want to visit the several islands and islets at the lake. Or, you can just simply find a seaview hotel next to Erhai and chill there for the day.

    "Very good, the river is clear to the bottom, the water is flat, and the scenery on both sides is full of wild fun. There is no pressure to bring a 3-year-old baby, that is, you need to sign a disclaimer for children and the elderly at the service center. The staff is very responsible and has been telling the safety of the elderly and children. It is also said that at the docking point, you can call the car to pick up the elderly and children in advance. It took 2 hours and 42 minutes to make a complete journey. The weather is very hot, there is no shade in the river, and sun protection is important. There is a bug that bleeds and itchy after biting. My husband and I have been recruited many times, and the legs are terrible. Plastic boat, narrow boat, one boat for two people. Driving from Jinghong for 2 hours and 23 minutes, the high-speed toll is 118 yuan."

    "It’s worth it. In the morning, the cave exploration, real exploration, the cave is dark, the stalactites are towering, and you need to rely on the helmet top lamp to illuminate. You need to explore a circle under the leadership of the leader. High and low, sometimes strutting, sometimes cat waist climbing, the child is very excited. The whole journey is about1.5 hours. After the end of a rich rainforest meal, there are fragrant Manbara roast chicken, sweet aromatic rice, charcoal roast pork, various wild green vegetables, vegetarian collocation, to supplement the physical strength. In the afternoon, another rainforest trek, a trip through the mountains and streams, and a high and low climb is a test of physical strength and survival wisdom in the wild. It is worth a trip to Banna Mountain Forest."
