Yunnan Top 4 in Can't Miss Attractions

Beautiful lake, where you can go by boat on the small island to see souranding nature :)

The Erhai Lake in Dali is misty, with a length of more than 50 kilometers from north to south. In the morning, the morning sun reflects on the white clouds, reflecting the white clouds red, which is very beautiful. The blue sky and the blue lake form the same color as the sea and the sky.

Erhai Lake is the second largest lake in Yunnan after Dianchi Lake and the seventh largest among freshwater lakes in China. Erhai Lake was formed at the end of the Ice Age. Its main cause is subsidence and erosion. It belongs to a plateau tectonic rift lake with an altitude of 1972 meters. The Erhai Lake has seven main functions: water supply, agricultural irrigation, power generation, climate regulation, fishery, shipping, and tourism. The Erhai Lake is lined with Cangshan mountains to the west, and Yuan Mountain surrounds it to the east. The space is beautiful. In 1981, the Cangshan Erhai Nature Reserve was established with the approval of the People's Government of Yunnan Province. It was promoted to the national level in 1994. The main protection objects are plateau freshwater lakes and aquatic animals and plants, natural landscapes of the transitional zone between north and south animals and plants, and glacier relics. The body of Erhai Lake is mainly in Dali City, with the north shore connecting the southeastern corner of Eryuan County, the eastern foot of Cangshan Mountain and the western foot of Yuan Mountain. The northern waters of Erhai Lake belonged to Eryuan County. After the towns of Shuanglang and Jiangwei were included in Dali City on January 1, 2004, all waters belonged to Dali City. Eryuan County has become a border on the north coast. Along the lake district, there are two towns like Shuanglang and Jiangwei in the north, Xizhou, Wanqiao, Chengyi, and Qiliqiao in the east, Xiaguan and Fengyi in the south, and Wase and Haidong in the west. Eryuan River is located at the southwest end of Xiaguan, Dali City.

[Scenic] Cangshan Bohai, as Dali's most famous attraction, is indeed well-known. The scenery of the Bohai Sea is magnificent and beautiful, and several ancient towns on the beach are also worth visiting. [Fun] You can take a boat at sea or feed the seagulls on the shore. Don't be fun. [Cost/performance ratio] Only the sea does not charge money 😁
