The most beautiful place to watch the sunset by Erhai Lake

The most therapeutic moments in Shuanglang, Dali, are hidden in the café of the Sanse Yunhe Xuehaijing Hotel. Choose a window seat, and enjoy a beautifully presented afternoon tea—soft egg tarts and chocolate desserts, each bite a gentle, sweet treat. Look up, and the surface of Erhai Lake shimmers, while the distant Cangshan Mountains are veiled in a light mist, like a watercolor painting unfolding. The most breathtaking sight is at sunset. The orange-red sunset slowly spreads across the sky, turning Erhai Lake a soft amber hue, filling the air with a languid atmosphere. The rustling of leaves in the breeze, occasionally punctuated by the distant chirping of birds, makes time seem to slow down. No need to rush, no need to worry about anything; just sit quietly, watching the sunset fade, watching the sky change from orange-red to deep blue. This tranquility is perhaps the most enchanting aspect of Dali. If you come to Shuanglang, you must spend some time here, otherwise you won't have truly appreciated this beautiful landscape.
