Dali National Day Staycation to Escape the Crowds and Retreat by Erhai Lake

With the National Day crowds coming, we need a pause button⏸️
Rather than rushing around checking off spots, I want to stay embraced by Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake
Spend 3 days immersing yourself in the romance of "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon"💐
