It’s a beautiful little fishing village. Go there with your beloved and find a touch of green in the city!
The village next to the island is very quiet and beautiful. The overall planning is better than the village next to Dajian. The sea view is good and it is suitable for watching the sunset.
The small fishing village next to Erhai Lake is a good place for you to walk around, stroll around and take photos.
The scenery is very nice, the environment is very good, and it is very bourgeois.
Listening to the live harmonica performance of "Itsumo Hodōdemo" at the sunset by the sea, I can recall it for the rest of my life.

Compared with other places in the ancient town, there is nothing too attractive
Generally speaking, it is quite beautiful facing Erhai Lake, but there is no place to sit quietly and watch the sea, and the surrounding facilities are not good. It is a state of taking pictures and leaving.
The sea view is beautiful, and you can also enjoy barbecue while watching the sea view. The price-performance ratio is super high!
The quiet little fishing village by the Erhai Lake is very beautiful, and it feels great to stroll along the beach at night.
Erhai Lake is very beautiful. There are many people cycling around the lake. Although I only cycled to Shuanglang, I will cycle the whole way next time.
The scenery here is really beautiful, and it is not as crowded as Yuji Island. It is quiet, peaceful and comfortable here, and watching the sunset is a unique experience.
A beautiful place, especially in the evening.
The picturesque scenery and the peaceful life are really very comfortable.
There are many sea view rooms in the place with a direct view of the sea. Although the price is ridiculously expensive, the scenery is indeed a rare beauty.
Located between Dajianpang Village and Yuji Island, it is like a farmer's home with no attractions.
There is construction going on everywhere at the moment, so it is not recommended to go there for the time being.
Between Dajianpang Village and Nanzhao Fengqing Island, there were many hostels and construction sites under construction when I went there, and some roads were blocked. The scenery was very nice.
Daoyipan Fishing Village is located in Shuanglang Town, Dali, across from Nanzhao Fengqing Island. While the ocean views aren't as expansive as those of Dajianpang Village, it's much busier. The village relies primarily on fishing for income, with no farmland. Walking along the coast, you'll find Daoyipan, a well-preserved ancient fishing village, free from the commercialization of many ancient towns. It offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, untouched by streetlights. At night, the place is very quiet, and there are several barbecue restaurants where you can enjoy a meal by the sea, enjoying the ocean breeze.
This quiet fishing village by the Erhai Lake has limited commercial development, making it a great place to stroll and explore. Especially at sunrise and sunset, watching the colorful clouds and golden sun, the light scattered on the Erhai Lake, and feeling the breeze, is a truly relaxing experience.
Before we arrived at Shuanglang Town, it seemed quite beautiful. However, when we actually arrived, the Erhai Lake we saw was not so beautiful. It may be because we went there during the renovation boom and the rainy season.
The island is next to Shuanglang. It is a small fishing village that can be reached by bike from Shuanglang.
It is connected to Dajianpang Village and Shuanglang, and there are also many inns.
The sunset there is very beautiful, very suitable for couples
I'm not saying it's beautiful. Yes, the way here is very beautiful and pristine, but when we got there it was completely a construction site with inns being built everywhere. It was quite noisy. Erhai Lake is still very beautiful.
It's a place with simple, original colors and flavors, without any commercial pretense. There is a small exotic restaurant there, which I like very much.
The fishing village in Shuanglang is more simple, more natural and more touching!
A real fishing village, relatively simple and unpretentious, but also a bit far away, not many people come
On the east coast of Erhai Lake, visiting the fishing village is a standard activity, and I have passed by it in a hurry many times.
Love is you and me, witness our love in Shuanglang
Shuanglang is a transit station for my cycling tour around Erhai Lake. I rested here at night on the first day of cycling. The youth hostels here are very unique, and Shuanglang is very beautiful in the evening!
One of the several villages in Shuanglang Town, there are inns everywhere.
It is more suitable for traveling in the evening and daydreaming.
The scenery is very beautiful in the evening, so friends who love taking photos should not miss it.
It feels so good to watch the sunset at Shuiyunjian Inn. The color of Erhai Lake changes with the sky. I really wish time could stop.
Personally, I think it's okay. They are all near Erhai Lake and have quite local characteristics.
When the boat was on the road, it felt very quiet. In fact, I personally think that the best place to stay in Shuanglang is to find a hotel near Erhai Lake. It is better to have a bottle of Fenghuaxueyue beer and stay there for a day.
A village mainly engaged in fishing, with beautiful scenery.
The former small fishing village has developed into a resort scale, and the sunset here is beautiful.
I first visited Shuanglang, a small fishing village on the Erhai Lake, in the 1990s. I was truly captivated by its pristine landscape and simple folk customs. I returned in 2013 and was somewhat disappointed. Everything that was once beautiful had become commercialized and utilitarian. I won't be back.
It was quite lively because I was traveling during the National Day holiday, but there were not as many people as I expected, so it was still nice.
In Shuanglang Town, there are many inns to choose from, and now almost all of Shuanglang is under construction.
It seems that many people are renovating their houses and a wave of inns are coming. It still has the quietness and tranquility of a fishing village. I hope Shuanglang can be well planned next time I go there.
This photo was taken in the warm back mountain. Shuanglang is really worth a visit. Time is forgotten there. . .
How should I put it, this is currently a construction site, and it will probably be better in the future, but there is a lack of planning, and I am not optimistic about it, which ruins the beautiful scenery.
We passed by the fishing village on the way back. We took a short break there and the scenery was very special.
The village is located in Shuanglang. The houses facing the sea have begun to be built into inns. There are many inns walking inside, and you can see the houses where the locals live.
Shuanglang is a place that makes people dazed. Facing the boundless Erhai Lake and the blue sky, your mood is so peaceful.
There are fishing boats in the fishing village, but you need to bargain for the price. The asking price is 30 yuan per person, but I was able to bargain it down to 10 yuan per person.
There are many small fishing villages like this one on the Erhai Lake, each with its own unique characteristics. The island is already a gathering place for inns, but it is not as quiet as the villages near Wase Town.
A great place to enjoy life and appreciate the natural scenery of the fishing village. The slow-paced lifestyle can relieve those who are under great pressure in life.
One of the villages in Shuanglang Town, next to Dajianpang Village, and like other villages in Shuanglang, it has inns and restaurants on the street.
Because it is close to Shuanglang, the fishing village is already full of inns, but you can take their fishing boats to Erhai Lake, and the barbecue is also good.
When I first passed by, I always thought it was Niaoyi. There is a cafe next to it and there are activities for mountain teaching. If you are interested, you can come and see it.
Compared to Qinglu, there are many affordable inns here. It used to be a fishing village, mainly engaged in fishing. The local villagers had no land for generations and relied on fishing for their livelihood.
Shuanglang is a really beautiful place, but when I went there, almost every house was being renovated, which made it look a bit out of place with the environment.
Shuanglang is a place where the bourgeoisie can stay. With a cup of tea, a book or a computer, you can spend an entire afternoon in the inn, enjoying the lazy sunshine and the slow pace of life.
I personally think this fishing village is great and the local river seafood is delicious.
The sunset was beautiful, with Erhai Lake reflecting the setting sun. We took some photos below that I will cherish for a long time.
When I went there at the end of July 2013, it was still under construction. I walked and drove along the edge of Erhai Lake and enjoyed the scenery.
The fishing village is well preserved, but it is a pity that roads and houses are being repaired everywhere. I don’t know what it will look like next year or the year after. It is almost pushing the original flavor.
The small fishing village beside Erhai Lake is well preserved. It is not commercialized like many ancient towns. There are no street lights at night. It is very quiet. There are several barbecue restaurants where you can enjoy barbecue by the sea breeze.
Shuanglang Town, a small fishing village on the shores of Erhai Lake, is a tranquil and picturesque place. Staying with a fisherman for a few days is a delight!
When I went there, it was still a relatively undeveloped fishing village. It was really quiet and quaint. I liked the scene away from the hustle and bustle, without the hustle and bustle of traffic, car horns and the noise of the crowd. The silence allowed you to empty yourself.
I was there for two days, and the power was out for two days. I just wandered along the lakeside path next to the island. There were two restaurants and two barbecues, all of which were very good. It was very comfortable to eat while enjoying the breeze and lighting candles. However, it was a bit cold in November.
Beautiful rape flowers, blue sky, really beautiful...
I remember strolling here for a long time, seeing a particularly leisurely puppy, buying some grilled fish by the river, and the three of us took photos like crazy. It was a particularly pleasant memory.
I like Shuanglang. I like this place. I like the beautiful feeling. The scenery here is very good. Haha.
The Bai ethnic minority fish in the fishing village is delicious! It was here that I developed a great ambition: to eat fish from all the rivers, lakes, and seas of our country!
Daoyipan Fishing Village is located in Shuanglang Town of Dali Ancient City. . . Nestled between mountains and water. . . Daoyipan Fishing Village has many unique accommodations and inns.
Seeing this reminds me of the time when I was cycling around Erhai Lake and saw many fishermen going out to sea to catch whitebait. The whitebait scrambled eggs were so delicious. I miss it so much.
Shuanglang stands out from the other ancient towns around Erhai Lake because its houses are built directly on the seashore, while other ancient towns have coastal roads around them. The quiet Shuanglang must be beautiful, but I happened to see the most uneasy side.
Located opposite Nanzhao Fengqing Island, facing each other across the sea, it is also the most crowded place in Shuanglang besides the sea street of Yuji Island.
Shuanglang is far away from the city, natural and quiet, a good place for leisure and health care. It would be even better if you could stay here for 10 days or half a month.
There are so many fishing villages like this by the Erhai Lake that it is almost impossible to visit them all.
