Jinsuo Island, a Millennium Fishing Village, a Quiet Harbor in Erhai Lake

[Rainbow] Jinsuo Island: The holy land of the Bai ethnic group, and a former summer resort for the Nanzhao royal family. It is named after its shuttle-like shape. There are fewer tourists here, and the commercial atmosphere is not as strong as other attractions in Dali, but it still retains the original style of a thousand-year-old fishing village. If you want to get away from the crowds and hustle and bustle of Dali's popular tourist attractions, you might as well come to Jinsuo Island to enjoy the rare peace and tranquility. [Canoe] The only means of transportation in and out of Jinsuo Island is the small ferry. Supplies on the island are also transported by the small ferry every day. It travels back and forth to the island from 6:30 in the morning to 23:00 at night. The journey takes about 5 minutes. The round-trip ticket price is RMB 20 per person. If you plan to stay overnight on the island, you can enjoy a discount on the ferry ticket, which is only RMB 10 per person round trip. [SunGlasses] Stepping onto Jinsuo Island, you can see the Erhai Lake and Cangshan Mountain in the distance. Seabirds are playing on the silvery sea surface, and time seems to stand still. You don’t need to make a special travel plan for Jinsuo Island. You can stroll around at your own comfortable pace and enjoy the leisure of the holiday. You can also find a cafe to sit quietly and relax while looking at the sea view. The residents on the island are very simple and honest, and the whole island is filled with a peaceful atmosphere. [Scenic] Attractions: [×] Dragon Palace: a natural underground cave with Bai ethnic group song and dance performances. But I personally think it is average and not highly recommended. [Lightning] Guanyin Temple: The Guanyin Temple has a magnificent roof design with carved beams and painted buildings. There is also a Bodhi tree in the temple, which has a history of more than 300 years. When visiting the Guanyin Temple, you can walk around the temple clockwise to pray for good luck. [Cutlery] Recommend "No. 1 Courtyard", Bai ethnic specialty dishes, stir-fried water lily, hot and sour fish, stir-fried potato shreds and chili fried bacon are all super delicious! In the alleys, you can also taste fried potato cakes, fried shrimps, fried fish and other delicacies sold by local residents. [Taxi] You can take a taxi from Dali High-speed Railway Station or the airport to Jinsuo Island Tacun Ferry, and then take a boat to the island.
