Heard you came to Dali this National Day?
Tomorrow is the last day for the fishing lights (October 5)
What is Erhai’s "Starry Sea" (fishing lights)❓
This is a large-scale natural night fishing scene regulated by Erhai’s ecology, where fishing boat lights scatter across the lake like stars—so romantic💕

🕘 When is the best time to see it?
✅ Every day after sunset during the blue hour → 9:00 PM
✅ The fishing lights are densest, with stunning interplay of light and shadow
✅ Want to avoid crowds? After 9:00 PM is also fine, but remember to go with company! Join the group chat

💡 Travel tips (super useful!)
👗 Outfit: Light-colored clothes look great on camera! But it can be windy at night, so bring a jacket~
📷 Gear: Camera/phone + tripod (essential for night shots), power bank, mosquito repellent (lots of bugs by the lake)
🚗 Transportation:
Driving is most flexible, popular spots fill up early!
·
❗️ Final reminder:
Please avoid shining strong lights directly on the lake when viewing the lights,
Protect Erhai’s environment and take your trash with you~

National Day tourists are many, so find a waterside guesthouse to stay—watching the fishing lights at night is the right way👇
