    "A rough understanding of the architectural culture of various ethnic groups, very similar to the window of the world in Shenzhen, many basic services in the park have to spend money not so cheap, it was very tired before, at least 3-4 an hour, but if you soak in it for a day, it is still possible. In addition, there is a distance from Dianchi Lake. There is a car outside but there is still a charge. There is a calligrapher's composition on the boat that can be bought for 200 yuan."

    "Dali Qingmai Seaview Resort Hotel really feels that it is the most correct decision to live here in Dali, Yunnan! The location is excellent, facing the Bohai Sea. It is also super convenient to take the Bohai bus. You can watch the sunrise in the morning. Wake up in the evening to watch the sunset. The opposite side of the road is the Bohai Sea. Feeding the seagulls is very nice! ! Entering the room shocked me! Super sea view balcony. I took N photos with my girlfriend and I also made a film in minutes. I can watch the Bohai Sea in a daze and blow the hair. I sit in the seat and chat and relax. I love the bathroom in the room! There are two sinks and an indispensable big bathtub! The whole house is equipped with smart homes and assistants. It is too friendly to lazy people like me. ~ The hotel is very intimate and also provides afternoon tea and good night sweet soup. The fruit is freshly washed and eaten. It is cold and cool. I really want to stay here. If you also want to experience the blue Bohai Sea and the cloudy Cangshan Mountain. Feel the feeling of time being slowed down, you can take beautiful photos of life everywhere, then come to Qingmai to enjoy a good life."
    Dali

One of the common ways of touring Erhai is to rent an electric scooter or car. There are also boat rides available if you want to visit the several islands and islets at the lake. Or, you can just simply find a seaview hotel next to Erhai and chill there for the day.
