Four Trips to Yunnan (Dali Part 4, Erhai Lake)

  • Time: February
  • With whom:a person

Erhai Lake, like Cangshan Mountain, is Dali's most beautiful calling card.

I took a quick stroll through the ancient city, but wasn't particularly interested, so I took a taxi a few kilometers away to Caicun Pier to see the lake.

This lake, with a circumference of over 130 kilometers, boasts dozens of kilometers of scenic trails near the ancient city, making cycling the best way to explore.

Recent years of strengthened water environment protection and returning farmland to wetlands have restored the lake to its youthful beauty.


The town of Santorini?

A small hillside rises a cluster of castle-like buildings. Climbing up, one finds a series of hotels, seemingly in a Mediterranean style.

I couldn't quite figure out the name, but after some research, I discovered it's the name of a group of volcanic islands in the Greek Aegean Sea.

Like all creative towns, business is slow.
