Live inside the painting of Erhai! A magical 3-day, 2-night itinerary in Shuanglang|Every frame is a phone wallpaper

Babes! I found the real-life version of "The Place with the Wind" by the shore of Erhai! The ancient town of Shuanglang, with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, is filled with romantic vibes in the air, and every snap looks like a movie poster! 🌅【Must-See Magical Spots at Erhai】 📍Yujidao Yang Liping Moon Palace - Glass plank road to shoot the "Eye of Erhai," where the water sparkles like scattered diamonds at sunrise - Yang Liping Art Space ticket 60 RMB, a stunning view where Bai architecture meets Erhai 📍Nanzhao Style Island - Take the ferry (50 RMB round trip) to the island, with a 17-meter white marble Guanyin statue overlooking Erhai - Popular transparent ball swing, wear a white dress to capture the "floating on Erhai" vibe 📍Wase Little Putuo - Get up at 7 AM for sunrise! Little Putuo appears faintly in the mist, with fishermen casting nets creating a super healing silhouette 📸【Hidden Activities Revealed】 ▫️Cycle around the lakeside road: Rent an electric bike (50 RMB/day) to check in at the "Lonely Tree" and "Couple Trees" ▫️Bai Tie-Dye Experience: Zhoucheng Puzhen Tie-Dye Workshop (80 RMB/person), make your own blue-and-white Erhai memory ▫️Shuanglang Night View: Climb the observation deck near Dajian Village to see the ancient town lights reflecting on Erhai, like a spilled Milky Way 🏨【Recommended Homestays Immersed in Scenery】 ✔️Liuyue·Baiju: Cliffside infinity pool facing Cangshan, starry sky room with 360° views (around 800 RMB per person) ✔️Peninsula No.63: Same glass house style as Yang Liping’s, lie in bed watching the Erhai sunrise (book 1 month in advance) 🍜【Taste of Erhai】 ✅Bai Stone Slab Grill: grilled rice cakes + water willow + rolled cheese ✅Xizhou Crispy Pastry: sweet and savory combo 8 RMB each, perfect with iced jelly ✅Seaweed Soup: clear and fresh Erhai flavor, all-you-can-drink for 30 RMB per person 💡【Tips to Avoid Pitfalls】 1. Best flower season is April to May; rainy season starts after June 2. UV rays are super strong! Sunscreen + sunglasses + big sunhat are must-haves 3. Shuanglang ancient town has many stone slab roads, wear comfortable shoes ✨The romance of Erhai is the ripples of clouds from Cangshan falling on the lake, the smile of a Bai grandma at the alley corner, the guitar sounds drifting from folk bars. This spring, let’s live life like poetry~

Dali China, a magical place. #travel Day 1: Arrival from the Dali airport, get to the hotel. it's about 50mins journey, as we arrived at rush hour. Had a walk in Dali Old town. Day 2: Cable car to go to Cangshan. then took a taxi to ShuangLang old town, then to Xingsheng Bridge. Day 3: Went to XiZhou old Town. [Must-Visit Attractions] 1.Dali Old Town, the night view is beautiful, you see lots of people. there are millions of shops you can go in and check out local delicacies or buying little gifts for friends and family. 2. Cangshan Mountain, there are several roots to go up. we tried XiMaTan cable car, there are two stages to go up. the view is magnificent. you can take Erhai to full view. once you change to the 2nd stage, you are almost all in the cloud, it's magical. once you are at the end of the cable car journey, you can still walk to XiMaTan (there are stairs leading to it, suggest to have oxygen bottles with you, in case you are feeling not too well, as it's almost 4000meters above sea level. When coming down, we decided to walk to gantong Cable car, which is about 2 hours walk down. you don't need to buy tickets again for Gantong cable car, as this is covered in your ticket. 3. ShuangLang Old Town. LongKan MaTou & Eco corridor. Xingsheng Bridge. Make sure you are covered or make sure to put sun cream on, you can get tanned really easily since Dali is in a high altitude. The view in eco-corridor was beautiful, cars or motorcycles are not allowed to get in, there are bicycles or low speed scooters are available for renting. On one side, there are lots of Bai ethnic buildings, hotels, all nicely decorated with plants, flowers. on the other side, it's ErHai, the beautiful lake. there are coffee shops nearby, lots of photogenic shops. ShuangLang is another highlight, really nice views and food available in your fingers tips. rose cake is a local delicacies, you can find lots of shops are selling it. Restaurants, must try YunHeYi restaurant, it's on a hill, the views are just amazing.
