The first acquaintance with Cangshan Erhai

Dali, known as "wind and snow moon", "Xiaguan wind, Shangguan flowers, Cangshan snow, Erhai moon", the scenery of Dali is as beautiful as the name suggests, of which Cangshan Erhai is a must-visit place to Dali.

Erhai Lake, although it is called the sea, is actually a freshwater lake, it is said that the Bai people live deep inland and have not seen the real sea, in order to express their yearning for the sea, it is called Erhai Lake. Located on the east side of the ancient city of Dali, at the foot of the verdant Cangshan Mountain, the water is blue, and it is famous for its beautiful landscapes and unique villages and towns. Living by Erhai Lake and driving around the lake are all good choices to feel the style of Erhai Lake.

Cangshan, opposite Erhai Lake, facing Erhai Lake, surrounded by Dali. If you have time, you can climb Cangshan Mountain to see the scenery, which is a unique taste.

D2, Erhai Lake Tour 1 day

D3, Cangshan 1 day

D4, Dali - Kunming (5-6 hours), fruit wholesale market purchase blueberries, Kunming - Shanghai

At the beginning of June, the round-trip air ticket from Shanghai to Kunming was simply the price of cabbage, and the round-trip ticket was less than 600 including tax. Considering the convenience of travel, our group of five rented an SUV at Kunming Airport and drove all the way west to Dali. If you have enough time, then it is recommended to take the bullet train from Kunming to Dali.

Self-driving Erhai Lake Route

Erhai Lake is about 140 kilometers in a circle, and there is enough time. You might as well spend 2 days playing Erhai Lake in depth; If you only have 1 day, you can experience a trip to Erhai Lake through classic attractions.

Dali Ancient City - Caicun Wharf Wetland Park - Xizhou Ancient Town - Haishe Ecological Park - Flower Language Ranch - Butterfly Spring - Shuanglang Town - Digging Town - Xiaoputuo - Luoquan Peninsula (Tianjing Pavilion) - Haidong Town (Jinsuo Island, Yinsuo Island) - Dali Ancient City.

We only have one day to travel around Erhai Lake, so not every attraction is checked in, Personally, I think the scenery of Erhai Lake is on the road, and you can walk and stop along the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake.

The first stop Erhai Lake Huanhu Road

Looking at Erhai Lake up close, it can be described as blue water and blue sky, green trees, It's a beautiful scenery with just one shot.

We stayed

happily for a long time in the first place to park.

The second stop near Tianjing Pavilion

Stop and shoot, no filter is needed for good weather.

Butterflies and bees are so well-behaved.

The third stop Erhai Lake Huanhu Road

faces Erhai Lake and blooms in spring.

melon-eating masses.

After Director Liu guided the action, he left the scene with satisfaction, haha.

Director Liu personally went into battle to demonstrate the standard posture, and the girls in the enchanting posture could do it, which was easy for Director Liu.

The fourth stop is Xiao Putuo

Xiaoputuo is located in Haiyin Village, Digging Town, on the east side of Dali's Erhai Lake, in the lake about 20 meters from the shore, is a small island, and there is a Guanyin Pavilion built on the island, which is very famous in the local area. Visitors can visit the island by boat or take photos of the island from the shore.

A little further on, there are scenery everywhere.

> LOVE, do you see it?

The fifth stop Shuanglang Town

Shuanglang, located on the east bank of Erhai Lake, today's Shuanglang has become one of the synonyms of petty bourgeois sentiment, and many people say that coming to Dali without coming to Shuanglang is equivalent to not coming to Dali. Therefore, this once quiet Shuanglang town is now like an inn, bustling with tourists. But even so, Shuanglang is still a must-visit town in Dali.

There are

many bars and teahouses on the side of the water.

Linshui Inn is expensive, of course, the environment naturally doesn't say anything.

MARK's romantic time.

The sixth stop Flower Language Ranch

A paid attraction that I drove by, 40 yuan/person, I didn't expect it to bring us so much joy. This is a large sea of flowers next to the Erhai Highway.

There

are various photo themes such as jeeps, Internet celebrity seats, and colored tires in the park.

Director Liu's bewitching pose is reproduced.

The seventh stop is Xizhou Ancient Town

A large number of Bai houses are preserved here, full of strong Bai customs. It's just that we arrived in Xizhou at about half past seven in the evening, and the shops in the ancient town were basically closed, and we did not go deep into the ancient town, looking forward to the next trip to Dali, and then come to appreciate the simple beauty of Xizhou.

Stay at Dali Slow Seaview Art Hotel

Dali Slow Seaview Art Hotel is located on the shore of Erhai Lake, in Dali City, in Huanglongshan Dali Mansion, beautiful Huanhai East Road. The location is more suitable for self-driving, but free pick-up and drop-off from Dali Airport or train station is available. The inn courtyard area, lush green plants, delicate flowers, large lawns, Internet celebrity landscape pools, pool terraces with curtains, this is not only suitable for vacation, but also suitable for taking pictures, especially on sunny days. The overall design is Nordic style, simple and atmospheric, good hardware, careful details, the rooms are very large, basically 50-60 square meters.

The first floor is a lobby, restaurant, book bar, coffee bar, barbecue, fireplace all in one. Breakfast is provided in the morning, and I ate the famous rice noodles, and I read the reviews before that the breakfast rice noodles here are much better than those in the ancient city, and it really lives up to its name.

On the

third floor of the inn, there is a sea viewing platform with a good view, accompanied by Cangshan Erhai and watching the clouds roll and relax.

Generally speaking, from the location of the hotel to the name of the slow realm to the design of the room, it can highlight the good taste of the boss. It is an inn worth staying in.

Dali Cloud Love Letter, Looking for a Peaceful Place

Dali Yunduo Love Letter Inn is located in Yu'er Road, the ancient city of Dali, and the surrounding hotels and shops are all available and can be reached on foot. Nordic simple mix and match Chinese design boutique inn, exquisite interior decoration, kind housekeeper, considerate and thoughtful service, full of exquisite comfort.

As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a variety of succulents planted in the courtyard, and the courtyard floor is covered with white stones, and a few bluestone slabs are embedded between the stones.

Find

a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Dali rice sugar yard

It is close to the lively Renmin Road Pedestrian Street in the ancient city, not along the street, so you may miss it if you are not careful. The inn has various themed room types, multiple tea tasting areas and open-air courtyards. Since we stayed late at night, we stayed in the standard room of the lotus pond deep courtyard, which was the most internal test near the yard, and the check-in experience was average, so we only stayed for one night. The layout of the inn environment is acceptable.

Dali Food Illustrated Guide

[Fat Ding in Dali Fungi Restaurant]

The food restaurant with the theme of wild mushrooms is located at No. 170 Huguo Road, Dali Ancient City, only 2~3 minutes' walk from the store on Renmin Road, the location is convenient and very quiet. The two-story small building, the restaurant is modern and simple style, refreshing and bright, in line with the taste of modern young people who love food. The soup base of the restaurant is matsutake mushroom free-range chicken soup, which is delicious, the restaurant's free-range chicken is delicate, and there are many kinds of wild mushrooms, but many mushrooms can't be named, but they are all delicious. A small shop worth eating in Dali!

[Achang Specialty Slate Grill Star Store]

I still miss the slate roast that sizzles with oil and the aroma of meat. The food stall environment requires self-reliance to bake by yourself. Each table has a white grill board that heats up evenly when grilling, maintaining the original flavor of the meat. Some dishes were selected according to reviews and personal tastes, and the meat here is basically marinated, so it is also quite easy to grill and tastes good. The walls of the store are covered with photos of the owner and celebrities from all walks of life.
