Intimate tips 💡 1️⃣ The best choice for a tour around Erhai Lake in Dali is to rent a convertible and enjoy the scenery and sunshine along the way ☀️. 2️⃣ The rainy season in Dali starts in June, with changeable weather, it is recommended to carry rain gear and take sun protection measures 🌂🧢.

How romantic is Erhai in winter? If you don't come, you don't know at all. The water cedars gradually turn red, and the seagulls come as promised. Any casual photo is the quality of oil painting. Watch the pink dawn on Erhai in the morning, the seagulls crow, and watch the warm sun fall in the evening, as beautiful as a paradise on earth. Although Erhai is called a sea, it is not a sea. It is the second largest plateau freshwater lake in Yunnan Province. Because its lake shape curve is like an ear, it is vividly called 'Erhai'. The area of Erhai is about 252 square kilometers, and the 'coastline' is about 130 kilometers. It takes at least one day to travel around, and it is recommended to divide the tour into east and west lines. The east line is the east sea line occupied by Shuanglang, Wase and other places, and the west line is the west Erhai ecological corridor on the side of Dali Ancient City. When playing in Erhai, it is best on sunny days. The Erhai on sunny days is particularly beautiful. Seagulls from Siberia come here every winter. The winter temperature in Dali is higher than that in Siberia, which is a paradise for seagulls to spend the winter. To see seagulls, you must get up early, because seagulls are smart. They appear at sunrise, eat full before nine in the morning and leave. The harmonious coexistence of man and nature, the perfect collision of romance and gentleness, if one day will die, who does not want to stay here forever.

The most comprehensive Dali shop exploration check-in map is here. Today I'm going to share the Dali shop exploration check-in guide. As a person who needs to take into account both scenic spots and is obsessed with shop exploration check-ins, I must make a richly illustrated guide before departure to make this trip full of security. Simply put, Dali is mainly about touring around Erhai Lake. Erhai Lake is mainly divided into the east line of the lake (which can be self-driving) and the west line of the lake (choose to rent shared electric battery cars, cannot be self-driving). Below, I will also share with you the routes suitable for check-in and shop exploration according to the east and west of the lake.

When the sunrise spreads over Cangshan Erhai, flocks of red-billed gulls pass by, everything is as beautiful as a painting~ The winter appointment with red-billed gulls flying from Siberia, the metasequoia also changes from green to yellow to red, like Christmas trees! The white sea flowers quietly ripple in the blue water of Erhai Lake~ This limited romance belongs to the autumn of Dali... Attractions: The most beautiful is of course Metasequoia, the best viewing period is the end of November and early December. Photo location: The metasequoia on the right side of Longkan Wharf is relatively large, so there are especially many people taking pictures! There are people there before dawn. 📝tips: Be careful not to fall into the water! It doesn't matter if the shoes are wet, but if the phone falls... Rent a bicycle and ride along the lake, there is beautiful scenery everywhere!

I also recommend the Wuhui Temple in Cangshan that I visited a few years ago, serene and elegant, lush and leisurely. Important tips: Be sure to do a good job with sunscreen! The full gear kind! The first time I went to Dali, I was so busy riding a bike and enjoying the wind on Erhai Lake that I got sunburned and peeled a layer of skin off. As for how to travel, it's up to you. Most of the attractions in Yunnan are very well commercialized. After all, no matter whether you take a plane, a train, or ride a bicycle here, the scenery you see in Yunnan is the same~

Shuanglang is so beautiful, just like a fairyland, much more beautiful than Haixi~ The sunshine sprinkles down with flowers, very dreamy~✨ - Shuanglang Ancient Town is really much more enjoyable to visit than Dali Ancient Town! Whether it's the scenery or the comfort level, it's super great Because we were staying near Dali Ancient Town, we played in Haixi for a day and went to Shuanglang the next day. Shuanglang Ancient Town is right by the sea, where you can see the sea at any time. Both Dali Ancient Town and Xizhou Ancient Town are not by the sea, and Dali Ancient Town is heavily commercialized, while Shuanglang allows you to better appreciate the beauty of Erhai Lake! - 🚗Transportation 1️⃣ Didi Shunfengche: Taking a taxi is too expensive at over a hundred, but a ride-share for two people is only 68. 2️⃣ Yunnan Tourist Bus: Buy bus tickets on the 'You Dali' mini-program, 45 RMB per person, and you need to board at the boarding point in Dali Ancient Town. 3️⃣ Electric bike? Not really feasible, listen to advice and don't be stubborn, it's really far - 💐How to play in Shuanglang Ancient Town 1️⃣ Stroll around the ancient town The ancient town is long, it's a street, walking in Shuanglang Ancient Town, from the entrance to the inside, you can stroll for a long time, completely different from the atmosphere of Dali Ancient Town, very leisurely and comfortable, every so often there's an alley that leads to the edge of Erhai Lake~ 2️⃣ Go to the Sun Palace/Moon Palace On a peninsula, you need to go through many alleys, the Sun Palace requires a reservation, and you can only enter at a designated time, the Moon Palace is not open. You can also go to the cliff by the sea, but be careful, there's no fence, be careful not to fall into the water. 3️⃣ Drink coffee On the way to the Sun Palace, in the alley by the seaside, there's a coffee shop, 28 RMB per person, enjoying the sea breeze, drinking coffee, very pleasant, and there are swings, flowers, and other photogenic props, it's quite comfortable to sit there in the afternoon. 4️⃣ Take photos in the flower sea Navigate to Nanzhao Island, don't take a boat to the island, the road is covered with a beautiful sea of flowers. From 3 pm to 5 pm, you can capture the sparkling sea, and if you're not in a hurry, you might as well wait for the sunset, it's really super beautiful.
