Must-Visit Hidden Floral Paradise in Dali

With Cangshan Mountain as Companion and Erhai Lake as Neighbor🌊 This Erhai Lake Tour Guide is a Must-Save! Avoid crowds and still capture stunning photos. The 3-day, 2-night slow-living experience is incredibly relaxing~

Day1️⃣
📍Panxi Village S-Bend
Must wake up early for sunrise! The pink-purple morning glow over Erhai Lake creates wallpaper-worthy shots (easier to find by navigating to "Dali Erduo Garden Seaview Hotel")
📍Xizhou Ancient Town
For Xizhou Baba, go to the time-honored "Yang's Country Squire" - freshly baked and extra fragrant! The Corner Building photo spot gets crowded, visit during off-peak hours

Day2️⃣
📍Shuanglang Ancient Town
Recommend staying at a lakeside B&B - we chose "Awakening by Erhai" with great value, enjoying sea views right from bed🌅
📍Luwoshan Ruins
Hidden gem! The downhill path is steep - wear comfortable shoes. Best time for panoramic Erhai shots is 4pm with soft lighting

Day3️⃣
📍Wenbi Village
New Instagram-famous Rainbow Road🌈 Light-colored dresses photograph best - watch for traffic
📍Ideal State
Dali's version of Santorini. For afternoon tea, "Pine Cloud Cliff Hotel" offers pool+seaview photos for just 100+ RMB per person

🛵Transport Tips:
1. Strongly recommend renting an e-bike for Erhai loop! We paid 120 RMB/day for freedom to stop and shoot
2. Some road sections under construction - use cycling mode in navigation to avoid

🍜Food Recommendations:
▪️Predestined Grilled Fish (Dali Ancient Town)
▪️Shuanglang Old Li's Baoshan Copper Pot Beef
▪️Xizhou Cool Hut's milk popsicles

📸Photography Secrets:
Morning backlight creates sparkling water effects
5-7pm for softest portrait lighting
Bring a reflector! Windy lakeside calls for tied-up hairstyles
