FORTEN

The same sparkling seaside restaurant as Yang Yang~ The best light is for fairies who can wake up early in the morning. It is best to go there to take pictures in the morning. It is really beautiful. If you are lucky, you can take pictures of seagulls~ I chose the 298 double set meal. It is enough for two people to finish it~

The most recommended place to visit Erhai Lake is Liuyue, both the hotel and the restaurant are worth recommending! In Shuanglang Town, the hotel and the restaurant are separated, less than 600 meters away, the dishes are delicious and the service is thoughtful!

It rained for a long time in Shuanglang. It was a pity that we couldn't see the sunset on rainy days.

Because this place is so beautiful and so photogenic [crying R] Don’t be like me and go there three times I didn’t take a single photo of myself [crying R] · The most comfortable sea view restaurant in Dali in my mind—Fu Shi 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻 There are many locations for the restaurant, including indoor and seaside areas The seaside location is very popular, so it’s best to make an appointment in advance ⚠️: The restaurant is open from 10:00 to 24:00 Meals, afternoon tea, drinks and coffee are provided before 9 pm. After 9 pm, it becomes a bar. · Tips: It’s best to go around 5 pm, eat and take photos, sit and enjoy the sea breeze for a while, and catch a beautiful sunset. · 📍Location: Dali Shuanglang Ancient Town, enter from the north entrance and walk a few hundred meters. · 🍜Recommended dishes: Orange roast chicken, Tomahawk steak (large), Spaghetti Bolognese, Durian pizza, Seafood pot, Cheesecake 🥤Drinks: Little Naughty, Pomelo Sweet, Pineapple Sparkling Water You can order whatever you want at Fu Shi, and I have never had any disappointments after eating there so many times.
