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~
