This 3-day, 2-night, local's guide to Dali will take you deep into the unique charm of this city of wind, flowers, snow, and moon. Itinerary Day 1: Greet the Erhai sunrise, embrace the countryside 🌅 Early morning: Head to Longkan Wharf, the perfect spot for sunrise viewing in Dali. As the first rays of sunlight hit the shimmering Erhai Lake, the golden glow intertwines with the azure water—a breathtaking sight. Check the sunrise time in advance and arrive 30 minutes early to secure the best viewing spot. 🚲 Next: Embark on a cycling tour of the Panxi S-bend. Rent a bicycle and cycle along the coastline, enjoying the gentle breeze. Along the way, you'll see the azure Erhai Lake, swaying reeds, and the Cangshan Mountains in the distance—every spot is picture-perfect. There are many popular photo spots along the way, so don't forget to stop and take some pictures. 🌾 Afternoon: Head to Xizhou Rice Paddies, where the wind blows through the rice fields. The vast green paddies contrast with the ancient Bai houses, creating an idyllic pastoral scene. Wear light-colored clothing and run and jump through the rice fields for some fresh, Japanese-style photos. 🎨 Evening: Arrive at Zhoucheng and experience the traditional Bai tie-dye craft. At a local tie-dye workshop, learn from a master craftsman how to outline patterns with needles and thread, dyeing white cloth into colorful works of art. Make your own tie-dye souvenir and take the colors of Dali home with you. Day 2: Explore hidden gems, encounter stunning night views ☕ Morning: Find a lakeside cafe in Shuanglang and enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea. Savor delicious coffee and exquisite pastries while admiring the scenery of Erhai Lake, allowing your body and mind to completely relax. 🌊 Afternoon: Head to the Luwoshan Ruins, a hidden gem in Dali. The abandoned buildings stand by the sea, their broken walls contrasting sharply with the azure lake, creating a mysterious and unique beauty. Walk down the path to the seaside and take photos on the reefs for some artistic shots. 🌈 Next: Visit the Wenbi Village Rainbow Road, where colorful houses are scattered across the hillside, as if you've stepped into a fairy tale. Here, every corner is a surprise, and every wall is a perfect backdrop for photos. 🌃 Evening: Head to Zhemo Mountain to enjoy a "La La Land"-esque night view. As night falls, the city lights gradually illuminate, twinkling like stars and reflecting in the night sky—a truly beautiful sight. It is recommended to go up the mountain after 6:30 pm to enjoy both the sunset and the dazzling night view. Day 3: Savor Zen life, experience the charm of the ancient city 🍱 Morning: Visit Jizhao Temple, known as the "most beautiful nunnery in China," a place full of Zen and vitality. The temple is filled with various flowers that bloom throughout the seasons, like a paradise on earth. Be sure to try the vegetarian dishes here—they are light, delicious, and unique. Please observe the rules when dining, keep quiet, and cherish the food. 🐎 Afternoon: Stroll along the Fengyangyi Ancient Tea Horse Road, where the stone-slab roads, ancient houses, and towering old trees seem to tell the stories of the past horse caravans. Walk slowly along the ancient road and feel the weight of history and the passage of time. 🌆 Evening: Return to Dali Ancient City and start your night tour. The ancient city is brightly lit and bustling with activity. Wander through the ancient streets and alleys, sample various local snacks, and buy exquisite handicrafts. You can also find a bar, sit down, listen to music, and experience the nightlife of the ancient city. Transportation Guide - Airport transportation: The airport bus goes directly to the ancient city for 25 CNY, which is convenient and fast. If you have a lot of luggage or prefer comfort, you can also take a taxi, which costs about 100 CNY. - Erhai Lake transportation: Renting a car (about 200 CNY/day) is highly recommended for maximum flexibility to stop and admire the scenery. If you are traveling with fewer people, electric scooters (about 50 CNY/day) are also a good option, but pay attention to the battery level and riding safety. - Transportation within the ancient city: The roads in the ancient city are narrow and the alleys crisscross. Tricycles are a good way to get around. Remember to bargain with the driver; generally, 10 CNY/trip is enough. Best Photo Spots - Xingsheng Bridge: The Gothic-style architecture, tall arches, and exquisite sculptures make you feel like you are in Europe. You can take retro-style photos here. Dark-colored clothing is recommended for better results. - Yunxiang Mountain: The cliff chapel and sunset cable car fulfill all your romantic fantasies. There are relatively few tourists here, so you can take beautiful photos without the crowds. - Panxi S-bend Highway: In addition to cycling, taking photos on the highway is also very popular. With Erhai Lake as the backdrop, the photos are fresh and natural. - Xizhou Ancient Town Rice Paddies: As mentioned above, the rice paddies offer different scenery in different seasons, lush green in summer and golden yellow in autumn, each with its own charm. Food Recommendations - Dongmen Food Market: This is a food paradise, hiding all kinds of authentic snacks. The pea jelly has a delicate texture and is served with special seasonings, making it sour and spicy. The grilled rice cakes have a crispy exterior and a soft interior, super satisfying with every bite. You can eat your fill for just 10 CNY per person. - Baijia Restaurant: If you want to eat authentic Bai cuisine, come here. The signature dish, raw pork, is made with fresh pork and specially treated for a tender texture. Served with a dipping sauce, it has a unique flavor. There are also casserole fish, milk fan, and other dishes, each one unforgettable. - Cunkou Cafe: This cafe is hidden at the entrance of Xizhou Ancient Town and has a tranquil environment. Sitting by the window, enjoying coffee while admiring the beautiful scenery of the rice paddies is very relaxing. Their lattes and desserts are excellent and worth trying. - Old Lady Potatoes: A common street snack, the potatoes are roasted until golden brown on the outside and soft on the inside. With added spring onions, chili peppers, and other seasonings, the aroma is irresistible. It's a favorite among locals. Things to Avoid - Choose car rental companies carefully: Be sure to choose a reputable company when renting a car, carefully check the condition of the vehicle, and take a video of the inspection. Avoid renting faulty cars to prevent affecting your trip and causing unnecessary losses. - Avoid noisy areas near bar streets: If you want a good night's sleep, try not to choose accommodations too close to the bar street. Bar street usually stays open until the early hours of the morning, and the noise can affect your rest. - Pay attention to market times: Visiting the March Street Fair is a great way to experience local folk culture, but pay attention to the time. It is only open on the 2nd, 9th, 16th, and 23rd of each lunar month. - Choose reliable tie-dye workshops: Although Zhoucheng is the birthplace of tie-dye, some businesses sell inferior products. When choosing a tie-dye experience, compare and choose a workshop with a good reputation and reasonable prices. Pre-trip Preparations - Sun protection: Dali's UV rays are very strong, so sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are essential. It's best to bring sun-protective clothing and an umbrella as well. - Warm clothing: The temperature difference between day and night is large, so even in summer, it is recommended to bring a light jacket to prevent catching a cold. - Common medications: Prepare some common medications such as stomach medicine, cold medicine, and motion sickness medicine, just in case. - Other items: ID card, portable charger, camera, comfortable shoes—these are all travel essentials. Expense List - Accommodation: 200-300 CNY/night. Cai Village sea-view rooms are recommended for their good value and Erhai Lake views. - Food: 50-80 CNY/day per person. Dali's food prices are relatively affordable, allowing you to enjoy delicious food without spending too much. - Tickets: Most attractions are free; only the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple require tickets (75 CNY/person). - Transportation: Car or electric scooter rental fees, airport bus fees, and city transportation fees are estimated to be around 100-200 CNY per day. Hidden Gems - Bedsheet Factory Art District: There is a creative market every Saturday, with a wide variety of handicrafts, original designs, and snacks. You can find many treasures here and experience Dali's artistic atmosphere. - Small Putuo Island: A small and exquisite island in Erhai Lake, with a temple and flocks of seagulls. You can feed the seagulls here, enjoy the lake and mountain scenery, and take great photos. - Shaxi Ancient Town: Although it is a 2-hour drive from downtown Dali, it is well worth a visit. This is a filming location for "Go Where the Wind Blows" and retains the original charm of an ancient town, tranquil and peaceful. Friendly Reminders - Be sure to sign a contract when renting a car, clarifying the rights and obligations of both parties. - When buying local products or souvenirs, pay attention to quality and price to avoid being overcharged. - Remember to bring rain gear when traveling during the rainy season, and be aware of slippery roads to ensure safety.

You can stop wherever you want to take photos.

It was a trip to Dali, China with friends. We started our journey at Erhai Lake, a stunning high-altitude lake surrounded by mountains ⛰️ The morning light ☀️ during sunrise (6–7 AM) was magical, with the lake mirroring the soft pink and orange hues of the sky. We explored the quiet lakeside villages like Shuanglang for authentic and tranquil views. I would recommend renting a bike 🚲 to capture multiple angles of this serene setting. Erhai Lake 📍Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China We also explored the cobblestone streets of Dali Old Town, lined with traditional Bai-style architecture. The morning ⛅️ (around 9 AM) is ideal for photography 📸 as the town awakens, with vendors setting up stalls and locals going about their day. The interplay of shadows and sunlight in the narrow streets created perfect compositions. Don’t miss the vibrant city gate for a striking photo backdrop ✨ Dali Old Town 📍Dali Ancient City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China We then visited the iconic Three Pagodas, a symbol of Dali. The golden hour (5–6 PM) was perfect for capturing the pagodas with a warm glow and the reflection in the surrounding pool. We explored the sprawling temple grounds for unique angles, with the Cangshan Mountains providing a stunning backdrop 😍I would recommend taking your time here to enjoy the tranquility and perfect your shots 📸 Three Pagodas of Chongsheng 📍Yunnan Sheng, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Dali Shi, 671003 We also ventured up Cangshan Mountain ⛰️ taking the cable car 🚠 for breathtaking views of Dali and Erhai Lake. The hike along the Jade Belt Road was filled with lush greenery and misty mountain ⛰️ scenery, perfect for wide-angle shots. Late morning (10–11 AM) was best as the skies cleared, revealing panoramic vistas. I would recommend packing a good pair of shoes 🥾 and plenty of water 💦 for this adventure. 📍Cangshan Scenic Area, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China For a quieter and less touristy experience, we visited Shaxi Ancient Village, a hidden gem 💎 with well-preserved Bai architecture. The early afternoon (1–3 PM) provided soft light ⛅️ for capturing the village’s charm, from the iconic stone bridge to the intricate wood 🪵 carvings of the old houses. I would recommend staying a little longer to enjoy the slow pace of life here 🙌 📍Shaxi Town, Jianchuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan, China #chinatrip #travel #Vacation

Despite a touch of commercialization, the spiritual vibe is palpable. Take the electric car to the top and walk down, visiting the various temples and feeding the fish along the way. The reconstructed temple complex, while new, still holds a sense of awe, and the pagodas stand as a testament to the region's rich Buddhist heritage. 🛶 Shuanglang Shuanglang is a bustling spot on the Erhai Lake circuit. Brimming with life, it offers a mix of dining, shopping, and leisure activities. Take a boat to Nanzhao Folk Island or simply enjoy the laid-back vibe of the town. For a perfect end to your day, catch the sunset at the Sun Palace or the Nanzhao Folk Island and bask in the beauty of this lakeside gem.

If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city🍃 Then go to Shuanglang Ancient Town in Dali and relax🍃 The relaxation and comfort by Erhai Lake can only be understood by those who have been there. 📝Three-day, two-night Dali travel guide: 🍃DAY1 Xizhou Ancient Town When you come to Dali, you must visit Xizhou Ancient Town.

After three visits to Dali, I've summarized some tips, and welcome everyone to comment and add more! The route follows the coast from Santorini of the East to Shuanglang - Xizhou - Dali Ancient Town - Longkan Wharf - Xingsheng Bridge - Dali Airport, basically avoiding the same path twice. 1⃣ Santorini of the East (Ideal Gang) - You can just stroll around for free, have afternoon tea, and check in at the same spot as Yi Mengling. It's the domestic version of Santorini. Hotel recommendation: Songyun Cliff Hotel, with unmatched breakfast, scenery, and service! 2⃣ Shuanglang - Highly recommend Shan Jian Coffee! The view is stunning! The neighboring Muxi Dali Dessert Garden Restaurant is also great, with a beautiful environment where you can enjoy watching seagulls. The Liuyuefu Restaurant in Shuanglang Ancient Town is very beautiful, and you need to book even during the off-season, really no seats! 3⃣ Xizhou - In summer, the rice fields are turned into dirt, but don't worry, keep walking, and you'll find Daoxi Coffee with gorgeous windows, and the coffee is half the price of those popular shops. If the Xizhou rice fields are restored, consider the Fushi Tianjian Restaurant with its floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, offering a dining experience with an unparalleled view! 4⃣ Longkan Wharf, you can watch the sunrise in winter, but it can be skipped in summer! 5⃣ Dali Ancient Town, it's recommended to stay for 1 to 2 nights to leisurely experience the slow life of the ancient town! The super popular grilled tofu and rice noodle shop in Dali - Authentic Kaiyuan Rice Noodles is worth a try! Summer is the season for mushrooms, so be sure to try the local Dali mushroom soup hotpot - Hua Yu Jun Gold Medal Wild Mushroom Soup Pot, the dumplings and fried rice are also delicious! 6⃣ Xingsheng Bridge, pretend you're in Europe, it's super photogenic, and after taking photos, head to the city to try Sannai Croissant, the boss of Dali bread!

Dali city gives me the feeling of one word "slow", so slow that winter has arrived, and autumn is still here. Here I have organized a travel guide for 3 days and 2 nights in Dali in winter for friends who want to go to Dali as a reference. — 📍Transportation: 🚅High-speed train: Get off at Dali Station, then exit the station to the blue sign where you can take the No. 8 bus to the East Gate/North Gate, or take the scenic area direct bus. ✈️Airplane: Dali has an airport, you can fly directly, but the airport is relatively far from the ancient city, but it is closer to Xiaguan, if you have time you can experience the night Xiaguan style. 🚖However, Dali's transportation is not very convenient, and many places cannot be visited by taking the bus. 😢 — 📍Essential scenic spots to check in: 1️⃣Dali Ancient Town: This is the core area of Dali tourism, with a deep historical charm, and it also carries Dali's culture! Although commercialization is unavoidable, it is still a place where foreign tourists check in. 😄 Admission: Free — 2️⃣Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas: This is the only national 5A scenic spot in Dali, known as the first temple of Han Buddhism, with great scenery and a high photo output rate. 👍 Admission: 75 — 3️⃣Erhai Lake along the line: As a symbol of Dali, to be honest, not going to Erhai Lake is really a waste of a trip to Dali. After going to Erhai Lake, I understand why Dali can become a place to soothe the soul. 🌊 Admission: Free/Boat ticket 140 — 4️⃣Shuanglang Ancient Town: Located on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake in Dali, it is known as the town with the best sea view. The Sun Palace and Moon Palace of the Peacock Queen Yang Liping are here, but I didn't make a reservation. 🏠 Admission: Free — 5️⃣Xizhou Ancient Town: This is a quiet and delicate thousand-year-old town. The ancient town is not big, and it only takes about half a day to have fun. The atmosphere is quite strong. 🗓️ Admission: Free — 6️⃣Nanzhao Fengqing Island: Surrounded by water on all sides, there are Guanyin statues, Nanzhao Royal Palace, the main square, and Taihu stones on the island! You must take a boat to get on the island. 🚢 Admission: 50 — 7️⃣Cangshan: This is my personal favorite, with eighteen peaks and eighteen streams, and the mountain top is covered with snow all year round. From here you can overlook the scenery of Dali Erhai Lake. 🏔️ Gantong cableway 80, Cangshan cableway 60 (round trip) The main scenery is on the Gantong cableway — 📍Three-day tour route recommendation: Day1: ◎Dali Ancient Town - ◎Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas - ◎Three Pagodas Reflection Park - Night tour of Dali Ancient Town Day2: ◎Erhai Lake - ◎Shuanglang Ancient Town - ◎Xizhou Ancient Town -◎Nanzhao Fengqing Island Day3: ◎Play in Cangshan — 📍About accommodation: You can see the introduction in picture 9 Cost: 3 days and 2 nights, accommodation 400 for two days!

Shijiazhuang - Kunming - Dali I made a lot of travel plans before finalizing the itinerary. I was very lucky to have almost no disappointments - sharing and recording my travel itinerary 🚥Transportation: We flew ✈️ to Kunming and went directly 🚘 to Dali on the same day (actually, the original plan was to take the high-speed train, but we missed it. The high-speed train would have been faster and cheaper) 🏠Accommodation: We stayed near the Dali ancient town. Inside the town, transportation is not convenient, so staying nearby is very nice. The prices are very good, 100+ per day can get you a very, very nice homestay. Since we arrived at night, we booked for three days and it still wasn't enough! The location is convenient for going anywhere~ 🗾Itinerary: On the first day, we chose to be in Haixi. Starting from Longkan Pier, we cycled along the coast 🚴🏻‍♀️. The two of us rode shared electric bikes. We did some research on this because you can't enter the ecological corridor with rented electric bikes. But the ecological corridor is worth visiting! So riding an electric bike is a better option 💰15/h. There are many parking spots. We passed all the scenic spots along the way, and the whole road is super beautiful! I kept exclaiming how beautiful it was, all the way to Xizhou. We took a tricycle to Xizhou Ancient Town. During the entire cycling trip, we stopped anytime to take photos and check in, which was particularly comfortable. ⚠️But everyone must, must pay attention to sun protection! If the sun is strong, you really can get sunburned! After strolling enough in Xizhou, you can take a bus directly back to the ancient town. In the evening, eat something near the ancient town and sleep beautifully~ On the second day, we chose to rent a Wuling Hongguang mini to go around the eastern part of the sea. The whole process was also along the coast. Renting a small electric car is what we think is the most cost-effective and comfortable way to travel. We could stop anytime to check in and then continue on our way~ 150km of battery life is completely enough. We went all the way to Shuanglang~ Then in the evening, we returned along the coast. The navigation was also very convenient. We drove while enjoying the seaside sunset ✌🏻The two-day itinerary basically ended like this. We could go to all the places we wanted to visit. On the third morning, we took the high-speed train/bus to Lijiang. We chose to 🚘 (because my boyfriend 💩 caused us to miss the high-speed train). I advise everyone to just go for it! You won't regret it once you go, and the cost of living is really not high ⚠️Remember! You must pay attention to sun protection! Definitely!

Many babies want to come to Dali for the Spring Festival trip, living in Dali for 7 years, I have sorted out several spots in Dali that are more suitable for checking in in winter, hurry up and collect it~ Must check-in spots: 1 Longkan Wharf: Watch a beautiful sunrise with the seagulls from Siberia 2 Chongyi Village: Red shirt trees, water walkways, as if in an oil painting world 3 Xingsheng Bridge: Take French-style super pictures, friends thought you went abroad 4 Wenbi Village: The road to the probably~ The white town is very much like the Dali version of Little Kamakura 5 Xiaoputuo: The place with the most seagulls, and there is a small island on the sea 6 Shuanglang: A leisurely town, very comfortable, very suitable for vacationing and dazing 7 Kanglang Village: The woods by the Erhai Lake, the afternoon light comes from the opposite side, it is hard to tell whether this place is reality or dream 8 Sansheng Island: The small shallow beach by the Erhai Lake, whether it is dazing or having a cup of coffee is a good choice 9: There is a wind courtyard: Go to the place with the same wind and take a picture Route distribution: 1) Dali Ancient City, Jizhao Temple, Cangshan Cableway, these distances are near the Dali Ancient City, if you go to these places, it is more convenient to live in Dali Ancient City 2) Ring Sea West Road: Chongyi Village, Sansheng Island, Longkan Wharf, S Bay, Langqiao, Xizhou, you can choose according to the places you like to check in, the Ring Sea West Road is not accessible by car, you can choose to cycle around the sea or sightseeing car, among which Sansheng Island and Longkan watch the sunrise, accommodation can choose Longkan or Sansheng Island 3) Ring Sea East Road: Langqiao, Kanglang Village, Xiaoputuo, Sanwenbi, Haidong is more suitable for charter or self-driving, there are many beautiful places along the way, you can stop and stroll at any time, the accommodation here is more convenient in Shuanglang or Sanwenbi In addition, there is Xingsheng Bridge in the city, you can visit it when you arrive in Dali or leave~ Winter clothing guide The temperature in Dali in winter is about 15 degrees during the day You can wear a single garment during the day, the thickness of a sweater or coat is just right~ But the temperature difference in the morning and evening is relatively large, if it rains, it will be colder, so you need to prepare one or two thick coats.

We must go to Dali to feel the tranquility of Erhai Lake. 🧳Preparation before departure: The ultraviolet rays of colorful Yunnan are well known to everyone, so be sure to bring sunscreen. 🏨Hotel environment: We took a direct train to Dali and then took a taxi to the guesthouse in the ancient city. There are many guesthouses in the ancient city. I used to book them online, but this time I went to the guesthouse to see the environment before making a decision, because we went in the off-season. The guesthouse we stayed in was clean and tidy, and the price was just over a hundred, which was very good. 🍽: We ate smoked ribs in the ancient city that night, strolling and eating in the ancient city, there are many delicious foods, you can try. The next day we went to the guesthouse in S Bay. The large floor-to-ceiling windows facing Erhai Lake, you can see Erhai Lake when you wake up, sitting on the terrace, blowing the wind of Erhai Lake, let this wind take away your troubles. It is worth recommending, the price, well, I won't say, you can check it out on Ctrip. 🚉Travel strategy: We rented an electric car in the ancient city, which can be driven for several hours for a few tens of dollars, blowing the wind around Erhai Lake. I personally prefer to go to places with fewer people and like to feel the breath of the village, so we rented an electric car. There are many places in the ancient city where you can rent a car, which is very convenient. 🌟There are many places to go around Erhai Lake, such as Xizhou Ancient Town, Shuanglang Ancient Town, Three Saints Island, Longkan Ancient Ferry, Covered Bridge, etc. Dali is a place worth visiting

'Wind from the lower reaches, flowers from the upper reaches, snow from Cangshan, moon from Erhai' The scenery of Dali is as its name suggests, it is indeed beautiful. Here are eight must-visit attractions in Dali! 1, 📍Erhai Erhai, as the symbol of Dali, not visiting Erhai when you come to Dali is like not coming at all. It's especially comfortable to take a walk, ride a bike, or drive around Erhai. In winter, you can also feed seagulls by the sea, and you can play for a whole day. 2, 📍Cangshan The most beautiful scenic line in Dali, with ninety peaks and eighteen streams, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, the scenery is particularly spectacular, here you can overlook the scenery of Dali Erhai. 3, 📍Shuanglang Ancient Town Known as 'The scenery of Dali lies in Cang'er, and the scenery of Cang'er lies in Shuanglang', Shuanglang Ancient Town is known as the first town of Cang'er scenery. The inn by the water, the tide beating the rocky shore, the sea gulls flying at the sunset, it seems that the clock here has slowed down. 4, 📍Shaxi Ancient Town 'To the place where the wind is' has made this place popular, it is a particularly healing place, only simplicity and tranquility, as a thousand-year-old town with a long history, it has a profound history, slow-paced life, and can better appreciate the cultural landscape of the tea horse town. 5, 📍Xizhou Ancient Town The spring in Dali Xizhou, with endless wheat fields, green and swaying with the wind, the breeze brings bursts of fragrance, now until June is the best viewing time, sitting on the terrace of Xilin Garden and drinking a cup of coffee, looking at the wheat field, the whole person has been healed! 6, 📍Xiaoputuo Xiaoputuo is an indispensable part of the Cangshan Erhai scroll, one of the eight ancient scenes of Erhai, here is the smallest Xiaoputuo in Yunnan, with a circumference of only 200 meters, 20 meters away from the shore, and a total area of about 100 square meters, the pavilion on the island was built in the Ming Dynasty, also known as Guanyin Pavilion. 7, 📍Chongsheng Temple Three Pagodas A landmark attraction in Dali, one of the oldest and most magnificent buildings in Yunnan, China, known as the first temple in Han Buddhism, was built during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, known as the 'Buddha Capital', nine of the 22 emperors of the Dali Kingdom became monks at Chongsheng Temple. 8, 📍Nanzhao Style Island Located next to Shuanglang Ancient Town, this is the largest island in Erhai, the island is surrounded by water on all sides, with seaside-like scenery, the main building on the island is Nanzhao Xinggong, the summer resort of the Nanzhao King.

At the end of June, on the last day of my trip to Yunnan, I came to Dali for a thousand-mile solo ride. Yunhezhu Sea View Hotel, this romantic water-friendly terrace sea view king bed room can go to the outdoor terrace to enjoy the beauty of Erhai Lake and the majesty of Cangshan Mountain at close range, so beautiful! The service of the hotel staff is very attentive, including free afternoon tea, free 20-minute travel photos and free 3 photos, and good night milk 🥛 The one-to-one service provided by the hotel butler Xiao Gan was very considerate👍👍👍The travel photographer who was given as a gift would guide the poses and the photos were also very good. I ended up buying 20 more photos😆 Must-visit attractions: Shuanglang Ancient Town Recommended hotel: Dali Traveling Thousands of Miles Alone. Where does the cloud live?

#china #yunnan #dali We couldn’t quite believe that we were still in China when visiting Shuanglang town on the Erhai lake in Dali. We reached the town after about a beautiful hours drive from Dali Ancient City all along the lakeside. Once there, you can spend your time lazily walking along the lake, sun shining, and endless speciality coffee shops to choose from.

Shuanglang Ancient Town is located in the northeast of Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan. It is the most beautiful village on the Erhai Lake. From here, you can see the 19 peaks of Cangshan Mountain from afar. It combines the essence of Cangshan and Erhai scenery. Many people come to Yunnan for tourism just for the scenery of Shuanglang!
