A Place to Breathe | First Stop: Panxi Village

| First Stop: Panxi Village. Here, the water meets the sky in a dreamy blue hue🌈. The graceful curves of the bay are lively and elegant, as if painted by nature itself.

The early morning at Erhai Lake is healing. Rent a bicycle and start your ride from Panxi Village along the S-shaped coastline. On your left is the sparkling lake, and on your right are traditional white-walled, blue-tiled houses. Don’t forget to stop for photos—the redwood forest by the cycling path and the withered trees on the shoals make perfect natural frames.
