On the island, there is a 17.56-meter-tall white marble Guanyin statue, along with various uniquely styled inns that are quite beautiful. Other attractions include Lock Dragon Cave, Pastoral Flower Pavilion, Dragon Ditch, Nine Springs Reflection, Snow Joy Pavilion, Yu Gui Lake, Layered Waterfall, Moon Gazing Pavilion, and Snail Ancestor Stone. The island also features a man-made beach, which is a great spot to view Erhai Lake. Many people come here to take wedding photos.

About accommodation🛏️ 1. Stay by Erhai Lake: The view by the lake is very good, and it's convenient to watch the sunrise, but transportation is not very convenient. 2. Stay in Dali Ancient Town: The ancient town is the most recommended, with convenient transportation and a wide range of accommodation options, making it very convenient for eating, drinking, and shopping. 3. Stay in Shuanglang Ancient Town: Facing Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, the scenery is truly amazing, and it's quite peaceful and leisurely.

Nanxun Fengqing Island, located in Dali Shuanglang, is one of the three islands in the Bohai Sea. It is also an attraction to the Bohai Sea. It is necessary to take a boat on the island. In the peak season, it is necessary to queue up on the island. Fortunately, the queue time is not very long. Ticket 50 yuan / person, remember to buy a ticket is the need for an identity card, after boarding the island can take the Bohai cruise ship (140 yuan / person), experience the fun of the Bohai Sea, there are some national performances on board. It is recommended that you rent a small motorized ring island in Bohai when the morning is not hot. After a hot afternoon, you can go to the island to cool down. The island is very green and not hot at all. At the end of the island, the Nanxun Palace is a deserted hotel. You can go up to the top of the building and climb the sea. You can also take off the drone here to take pictures of the Bohai Sea.

Boarding the boat from Shuanglang Pier, Erhai Lake unfolds the path to a secret realm. The emerald waves, like crushed jade, carry the boat cutting through the morning mist. In the distance, Nanzhao Folk Island lies quietly like a lost shuttle, resting where the water meets the sky. The wind brushes past the boat's side, bringing the crispness of the lake air. You can see the nineteen peaks of Cangshan Mountain blending into the dark clouds, and the sounds of the eighteen streams seem hidden within the waves, waiting to share their origins with those who set foot on the island.

This trip to Shuanglang, I originally aimed for the baby-style Hushan Yunyin Flower Sea, but after several days of exclusive bookings, I was disappointed. Then I discovered next to the Guanhai Fanjian Inn where I stayed, a hidden daisy sea that no one knows about — the biggest surprise of this stay. I stayed 4 nights, from the morning calls of seagulls to the evening glow, every detail felt so comfortable~ 🌼 The "Niche Daisy Sea" Next to the Inn: An Unexpected Find During the Stay Location: Right next to Guanhai Fanjian Inn, just a 5-minute walk to Hushan Yunyin, no need to squeeze with crowds at popular spots Photo Experience: Went over after having coffee at the inn around noon, completely empty! Sunshine on the little daisies, with Erhai Lake behind, no need to dodge passersby while shooting, even breathing felt free. No reservation or fee required, you can shoot as long as you want. Compared to the rush at popular spots, taking photos here feels more like enjoying the moment. Standing at the edge of the flower sea, you can see panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Any photo taken with a phone looks great. Later, when reviewing photos, I found many were “accidental masterpieces” taken here. 🏨 The 4-Night Stay at "Guanhai Fanjian Inn": Details So Comfortable You Don’t Want to Leave (This was my second stay, and this time I felt even more confident in my choice, many small details left a deeper impression than the first time) 📍 Address: No. 246-1, Group 1, Dajianpang Village, Shuanglang, Dali Real Feel of the Stay: ✅ Relaxation right at Erhai Lake: I didn’t book a sea view room, but the first-floor terrace is right next to Erhai Lake. Sitting in the yard in the morning, feeling the sea breeze, you can hear the next-door inn feeding seagulls. Occasionally, seagulls fly by — more healing than deliberately going to a scenic spot. ✅ No hassle for photos: The inn has a sky mirror and cloud ladder. If you don’t know how to shoot, the staff will proactively help find angles — once I saw a staff member adjusting a guest’s pose, and the results were much better than random shots. The 10 a.m. sunlight is the softest; afternoon light tends to dim, and the staff kindly reminded me of this. ✅ Warm little perks: Free dresses to borrow, so no need to bring a bunch of photo outfits, saving a lot of trouble. The breakfast rice noodles are delicious, with sauces made by the inn. I mentioned wanting coffee, and for two days they brought freshly ground American coffee — not a formal service, but very warm. On the day I left, the owner gave me a gift, and the two Teddy dogs “Le Bao” at the door followed me out. This kind of unpretentious warmth is more touching than standardized service. ✅ Convenient transportation without hassle: 5-minute walk to Shuanglang Ancient Town, very convenient for night market and snacks; 10 minutes to the market for buying fruits and local trinkets. The inn cooperates with drivers; if you want to visit Butterfly Spring, Chongsheng Temple, etc., just tell the driver in advance. He plans the route without detours or rushing, much easier than finding a car yourself. You can rent bicycles and electric scooters nearby. On the last day, I rented an electric scooter to circle Erhai Lake, stopping to enjoy the scenery whenever tired — this pace is especially comfortable. 📍 The "4-Day Itinerary" During the Stay: Follow a Comfortable Rhythm Day 1: Arrived at the inn at noon, checked in, wandered in the yard, discovered the flower sea next door in the afternoon and took photos for a long time, then visited the ancient town market at dusk and ate Grandma’s grilled milk fan. Day 2: Hired the inn’s driver for a private car, visited Butterfly Spring, Chongsheng Temple, Yan Family Courtyard, and Dali Ancient City. The driver knew less crowded spots, so the trip was relaxed. Returned to the inn just in time for sunset. Day 3: Walked to the pier to take a boat to Nanzhao Style Island and Yuji Island. The islands have many artsy shops. When tired, just sat by the sea daydreaming. Returned to the inn in the evening to watch the sunset glow. Day 4: Rented an electric scooter to circle Erhai Lake, packed and left at noon. Took sunrise photos before 8 a.m., with sunlight shining on Erhai Lake — a lovely little ending to the trip. 🍜 "Shuanglang Food" Tried During the Stay: A Few Delicious Picks Mushroom Hotpot: Ate in the ancient town, the broth was fresh, two of us ate until full. The most memorable proper meal during the stay. Lao Li’s Copper Ladle Beef: Dinner spot, beef was tender, dipping sauce fragrant. No need to search hard, just follow navigation. Grandma’s Grilled Milk Fan: A small stall in the ancient town, the rose-flavored one is more special than the original. Bought one at the night market and enjoyed it while strolling — very pleasant. Inn’s Breakfast Rice Noodles: The most anticipated breakfast every day. You can have seconds, and after 4 days, I never got tired of it. 💡 "Tips" from the Stay: Suggestions Based on Real Experience Shuanglang has small bugs and mosquitoes at night, remember to bring mosquito repellent. The inn provides some, but it’s more comfortable to bring your own. Yang Liping’s Sun Palace: Free admission with advance reservation. Without reservation, you can enter by buying afternoon tea. The view of Erhai Lake from inside is nice, but if you’re short on time, the inn’s sunset is also beautiful. Don’t come back too late from Lixiangbang; there are more water mosquitoes at dusk. Better to return to the inn early and watch the sunset on the terrace — much more comfortable than wandering outside. The biggest feeling from staying at Guanhai Fanjian this time was “relaxation” — no need to chase popular spots, taking photos in the flower sea next to the inn, waiting for sunrise in the yard, chatting with the owner at night. This unhurried pace is what a vacation should be. If you want a comfortable place to stay in Shuanglang where you can easily take great photos, maybe this place will move you just like it moved me~

The island is small, and a full circular walk takes only about an hour. As you wander along the paths, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the Cangshan Mountains and Erhai Lake from different angles. The island’s perimeter alternates between crystal-clear beaches and rugged cliffs, offering diverse and captivating scenery. The artificial beach is a perfect spot for photos and a popular location for couples taking wedding photos. Here, you can walk barefoot on the soft sand, listen to the waves lapping the shore, and fully immerse yourself in the relaxation and romance. #mytraveldiary

Dian-Qian Road Trip (8) One of the Three Islands of Erhai Lake - Nanzhao Style Island March 6 (Sunday) Dali Weather: Clear, 5-20°C; today's highest altitude is the same as yesterday. Last night, the guesthouse was not well chosen. The location was great, convenient for coming and going, and the commercial area was bustling, but since it was the weekend, there were many tourists and noisy voices, making it hard to sleep. Fortunately, today we only toured locally, no long-distance travel. This area belongs to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with a temperature difference of more than 15 degrees between morning and evening, a very obvious temperature variation, like two seasons. At 9 a.m., we caught the first boat to visit the nearby Nanzhao Style Island. Nanzhao Style Island (4A) is one of the three islands of Erhai Lake, located in the prime area of the Cang-Er National Scenic Area—Shuanglang Town at the northeast end of Erhai Lake. It is a must-visit place when touring around Erhai Lake (Photo 1). The island is surrounded by water and faces Cangshan Mountain (Photos 2, 3). Cangshan Mountain is located on the west side of Erhai Lake. Viewed from the east side of Erhai Lake, Cangshan and Erhai Lake are like a pair of siblings, inseparable. At this time, there were few tourists on the island. The island is not large; it takes about fifteen minutes to walk around it. We looked out at Cangshan from several viewing platforms on the island, with excellent views, but the distance was too far. Even with a drone flying out 1200 meters, it was still out of reach. The white building on the island was originally a hotel but has been abandoned for many years. Such a prime location now serves only as a prop in photos (Photos 4, 5). After lunch, we drove counterclockwise along the lakeside road to visit Dali Ancient City on the west side of Erhai Lake. Dali Ancient City (4A) is located under Cangshan Mountain and beside Erhai Lake. The ancient city is square-shaped with walls around it, featuring four gates and four gate towers. Since its construction in the Ming Dynasty, it has lasted more than 600 years, with its scale and layout basically unchanged (Photos 6-8). In the evening, we stopped by the famous "Three Pagodas of Dali." Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas (5A) are the symbol and emblem of Dali. The main pagoda is called Qianxun Pagoda, standing 69.13 meters tall, built during the Tang Dynasty Nanzhao Kingdom period (833-840 AD); the two smaller pagodas to the north and south are both 42.19 meters tall, built during the Dali Kingdom (1108-1172 AD). The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple combine the functions of promoting Buddhism, warding off disasters and evil, and sightseeing, possessing extremely high historical, cultural, and architectural value. The scenic area was already closed when we arrived, so we viewed and photographed it from outside, fulfilling our wish (Photo 9). We returned to Shuanglang Town at 8 p.m. After a day and a half of brief touring, we gained a deeper impression of "Dali’s scenery lies in Cangshan and Erhai, and Cangshan and Erhai’s scenery lies in Shuanglang," which condenses thousands of years of Dali’s cultural heritage and fully displays the imperial capital style of the Nanzhao and Dali dynasties spanning six hundred years. Tomorrow, see you in Lijiang.

Three days in Shuanglang felt like falling into a dream woven by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Pushing open the window reveals a vast expanse of blue that fills your vision, while turning around brings a breeze carrying the scent of flowers. This homestay has embedded the word "bliss" into every dawn and dusk✨ 🌅 Waking up to Erhai Lake spread like a painting before your eyes The room I booked was on the third floor, and the moment I drew the curtains, I was utterly healed— Floor-to-ceiling windows "framed" the entire Erhai Lake into the room, with Cangshan Mountain shrouded in mist in the distance and Nanzhao Folk Island floating like an emerald on the water. Waking up to sunlight in the morning, the shimmering lake surface softened my heart; Sitting by the window at dusk watching the sunset, the orange-red light dyed the clouds like cotton candy, and even my breath carried a gentle sweetness. The bedding was as soft as clouds, and at night, with the window open, the sound of waves lulled me into a refreshing dream🌊 📸 Little delights hidden in the homestay, every snapshot brimming with tenderness Every corner here feels like a carefully curated poem: ▪️ Outdoor garden: A courtyard at the entrance draped in blooming flowers. Sipping tea on a wicker chair in the afternoon, the wind carrying floral scents brushing past your hair, sunlight filtering through petals to cast dappled shadows—even daydreaming becomes a pleasure. ▪️ Rooftop terrace: A vantage point with breathtaking views. At dusk, Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake are bathed in warm orange hues by the sunset. Standing by the railing watching the clouds drift, every casual snapshot is filter-free romance. ▪️ Erhai bar counter: The first-floor café surrounded by daisies, with the bar facing Erhai Lake. Order a coffee and lean by the window, your profile framed by the shimmering waves—tenderness seeps into your bones📸 ☕️ Slow moments steeped in the aroma of coffee Who knew such an amazing coffee nook was hidden in this homestay! The barista from Taiwan brewed a pour-over with subtle fruity notes, delightful even for coffee novices. The breakfast’s handmade bread was crispy outside and fluffy inside, stretching with butter when bitten; In the afternoon, the butler brought warm desserts paired with fragrant rose tea, soothing both stomach and soul. Spending an afternoon here—gazing at Erhai Lake, sipping coffee, flipping through a book—time slows to just the right pace~ 💛 Those little details wrapped in tenderness ▫️ The butler sends thoughtful reminders, and a small cart picks you up at the intersection—no need to carry your own luggage. ▫️ The homestay’s two big dogs are gentle and affectionate, wagging their tails at everyone and even posing as perfect photo backdrops🐾 ▫️ Strolling along the Erhai Lake promenade at dusk, the path alive with blooming flowers, buying a box of strawberries to snack on as the sunset stretches your shadow long. Leaving, I couldn’t help but look back—at that lake blue enough to sink into your heart, at that little courtyard wrapped in flowers and tenderness. Next time I’m in Dali, I’ll waste my days in such beauty again🌿

🌊Shuanglang Ancient Town | A fairy-like retreat between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, breathtakingly beautiful! With Cangshan Mountain as its backdrop and Erhai Lake as its mirror, Shuanglang Ancient Town embodies the title "The Most Scenic Town of Cangshan and Erhai" to its core! Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the lake on the other, every window here frames a picturesque postcard view. On Yuji Island, Yang Liping's Sun Palace is a stunning work of art, while the reflections on the glass walkway's "Eye of Erhai" go viral on social media. The white marble Guanyin statue on Nanzhao Folk Island overlooks the azure waters, and the transparent hanging baskets create a dreamy "floating on Erhai" effect. 💥Must-Do Activities: ✔️Instagrammable Swing: The swing by Erhai Lake faces Cangshan Mountain, surrounded by seagulls in winter like a fairy tale. Side poses or backlit silhouettes are picture-perfect! ✔️Nightlife Extravaganza: From July to August, the "Meet Shuanglang Music & Food Festival" lights up summer nights with folk music, bonfires, night market snacks, and intangible cultural heritage crafts—fun from sunset to starlight! ✔️Flower Fields & Jacarandas: In April-May, romantic jacarandas bloom, while March brings golden rapeseed fields and June showcases golden rice paddies, painting a pastoral symphony. 🍴Erhai Lake on the Plate: • Bai-style Clay Pot Fish: Shuanglang Cultural Courtyard Restaurant serves broth so fresh it’ll make your eyebrows dance, with crispy mint ribs to cut the richness—just ¥35 per person for a feast! • Adventurous Bites: Try cheese fan ice cream or a bug feast for a daring palate, paired with rose sparkling water—pure Yunnan happiness! 🚗Travel Tips: ✅Free entry to the ancient town. Nanzhao Folk Island tickets cost ¥50 (includes boat ride), and Yuji Island charges ¥10 for its art spaces. ✅Easy transport: A 1.5-hour bus from Dali North Station or rent an e-bike for a lakeside ride, discovering surprises like the "Lonely Tree" along the way. ✅Best seasons: March-May for flowers, November-December for seagulls. Avoid rainy months for crystal-clear Erhai blue! Come to Shuanglang—live inside an Erhai painting, watch clouds drift by day, and fall asleep to the sound of waves at night. This is Dali’s most healing escape!

Before coming to Dali, I read 100 travel guides, but only when I arrived in Shuanglang did I realize: if you stay in the right place, you don’t need to squeeze into the popular check-in spots! I stayed at Akatiya for 3 days, waking up every day to the call of seagulls, opening my eyes to the gradient blues of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Here’s a “lazy vacation guide” for those of you wanting to escape the city～ 🏨 Why is this hotel the top choice in Shuanglang? 📍 Location wins big: It’s right on Yujidao Island, the core of Shuanglang, just a 5-minute walk to Yang Liping’s Sun Palace. The balcony faces Nanzhao Style Island. No need to fight crowds; you can shoot panoramic views of Erhai Lake right from the boardwalk at the hotel entrance. At sunset, the shadow of Cangshan Mountain slowly seeps into the water, stunningly beautiful. 💫 Details that make you not want to leave: The rooms are named after artists, which really hits me! I chose the Picasso room; opening the balcony door reveals a 270° unobstructed sea view. In the morning, sunlight filters through the sheer curtains, casting light spots on the floor. With Orlon toiletries + soft bedding, the housekeeper remembers your favorite tea and even helped me book a car to Xizhou when I checked out—pure joy for the lazy. The hotel’s floating staircase is a must-photograph! Looking up, you see the outline of Cangshan Mountain; looking down, you see the sparkling light on Erhai Lake. Wearing light-colored clothes guarantees perfect photos. 🍽️ How healing is dining by Erhai Lake? ▫️ No need to rush for breakfast: you can come down anytime before 10 am. Enjoy eggs Benedict with the sound of waves, the coffee cup reflecting the snowy mountain, and the sunlight warming the bread. Even the air tastes sweet. ▫️ Afternoon tea hidden in the pool: trays float on the water, surrounded by flowers and desserts revolving around Erhai Lake. Group photos with friends need no editing; the background is the bluest filter. ▫️ Dinner is all about the atmosphere: the restaurant’s lines flow like water. Sitting by the window, watch the lights on the opposite shore slowly come on. The aroma of truffle hotpot mixes with the evening breeze, and occasionally the band’s songs drift by. This is what a vacation should feel like. 🌅 You can have a full day of fun at the hotel ✔️ Don’t sleep in! Sit on the terrace chair and watch the morning glow dye Erhai Lake orange. Seagulls fly right past you—more healing than any alarm clock. ✔️ Practice yoga with the instructor before sunset, moving with the rhythm of the waves, relaxing body and mind. ✔️ Outdoor cinema at night shows classic movies; wrapped in a blanket, watch the starry sky. Occasionally, the evening breeze gently shakes the screen, like a dream. ✔️ Families with kids can relax! The children’s playground lets kids run wild, and baking classes let you make flower cakes together while parents enjoy a coffee break. 🌿 How to explore Shuanglang Ancient Town without pitfalls? (If you stay at Akatiya, no need to rush; strolling slowly through the ancient town is the way to go) ▫️ Best route: enter from the north gate → shoot old buildings at the ancient theater stage → feed seagulls at Erhai Wetland Park (seagulls from November to March!) → admire architectural aesthetics at Sun Palace → walk the waterside boardwalk on Yujidao Island → wait for sunset at the ferry dock ▫️ Don’t drive: parking is difficult in the ancient town; taxis are more convenient. It’s an hour from Dali Ancient City, and the driver will drop you right at the hotel door. ▫️ Hidden gem: take the 5-yuan ferry at dusk, watch the lights on both sides of Erhai Lake come on from the boat—much more comfortable than squeezing into popular photo spots. 💡 I’ve tested these pitfalls for you ❌ Don’t buy the ancient town pass! The Sun Palace exterior is beautiful enough for photos; inside, you can’t see the full view. ❌ Don’t believe in “Shuanglang commercialization”: avoid the main street and head to the seaside, where many local small restaurants serve amazing cheese and Sachima with tea. ❌ Stay at least one more night: the morning mist and evening glow of Erhai Lake are two completely different beauties; one day is never enough. On the day I left, the housekeeper said, “The romance of Dali is letting time slow down.” Indeed, during my 3 days at Akatiya, I didn’t check my phone or rush anywhere, just watched clouds drift and listened to the waves. Turns out the best trip is really living your days like poetry～

Tested These Photo Spots Myself – So Beautiful They'll Explode Your Phone Storage! OMG, folks!

Compiled this "Sunset Assassin Checklist" – follow it and you won't regret it! 🚶♂️【Dali·Shuanglang Ancient Town】— Mirror-like Erhai Lake Killer Views - Best time: 18:30-19:15 (summer) - Hidden spot: Walk 10 minutes south from Shuanglang Ancient Town to a wild reed marsh. The sunset dyes Erhai Lake into an orange sea, perfectly framing Nanzhao Folk Island across the water – the vibe is unreal! - Personal tip: Sitting by the shore eating rushan sha qima while waiting for sunset, with the wind blowing through your hair – my BFF's candid shots blew up my WeChat Moments! (⚠️Don't wear white pants – the mosquitoes near water are brutal!) 🌄【Lijiang·Lashi Lake】— Wetland Tyndall Effect Magic - Best time: 17:50-18:30 (earlier in winter) - Must-do: Rent a wooden boat to paddle to the lake center. When sunlight breaks through clouds onto the water, it's like scattered gold dust! Boatmen will even help you take silhouette shots using a straw hat to block light – just ¥10 tip for epic photos! - Pro tip: Ignore the roadside ¥50 horse-riding deals!

Combined with chanting from the temple – goosebumps guaranteed! - Altitude warning: Take rhodiola in advance! My friend almost passed out running for photos and needed 20 minutes to recover 📸【Photo Tips】 - Wear light colors! White/beige pops against sunset hues (unlike my black outfit that made me a walking silhouette) - Bring a clear umbrella! Not for rain but as a prop – backlight makes the umbrella reflect sunset colors amazingly - Use Live mode! Sunsets change fast – screenshots from Live often beat regular shots Final thoughts: Chasing sunsets in Yunnan is like unboxing mystery gifts – sometimes cloudy skies surprise you with rainbow sunsets. Make time for the sky daily – it's truly healing~ (Original content – plagiarizers gain 10kg!)
