💡 Booking tips:
1. Book at least 2 months in advance during peak season—lake-view rooms sell out fast
2. Chartering a car makes it easier to visit each hotel
3. Sunscreen is a must—the high-altitude UV rays are intense
Staying at a dreamy hotel by Erhai Lake for a couple of nights is a must—gazing at the sparkling water is the real deal~
