In the waterfront restaurant by the Erhai Lake, the waves are rippling and the distant mountains are indigo.
The autumn day in Dali is really romantic! If you are looking for a date place by the seaside and full of Nanfa style, this restaurant should not be missed! 🏡 Yunli Xiaosi · Huayin Nanyang Seaview Restaurant 📍 Shuanglang Village Ancient Stage Opposite Tonghai Lane End of the Erhai Sea was amazed as soon as I walked into the restaurant! The seat directly facing the Erhai Sea, with the autumn sun, is this not the Mediterranean town in the movie? Any shot is a blockbuster feeling ~ [Dongyin Gong Tang Seafood Soup] Hot and sour appetizer, the ingredients inside are super sufficient, prawns, green mouth, salmon... full of ingredients! We sat by the window, watching the sparkling Bohai Sea, while enjoying food, it was really pleasant ~📝 Note tips: 🩵 It’s too sunbathing at noon. It is recommended to come at 4-5 in the afternoon and see the beautiful sunset! 💙 The restaurant is located in Shuanglang. We live in Xiaguan. It takes more than 100 kilometers to and from, but it is worth having such a romantic view. 💜 Upstairs of the restaurant is the B&B Dali Yunli Xiaosit·Huayin Nanyang Seaview Hotel (Shuanglang Branch) #Dali Autumn Romantic Opening

From September to November, the autumn air is crisp, the rice paddies are golden, the Cangshan Mountains are shrouded in ever-changing mist, and the lake shimmers with golden light at sunset, creating a perfect time for scenic viewing and meditation. Winter (December to February), while cold, offers the opportunity to encounter Siberian red-billed gulls, and feeding them on Xiaoputuo Island is a unique experience. II.

Practical Tips Sunscreen Essentials: UV rays are strong on the plateau, so bring sunglasses, ice sleeves, and SPF 50+ sunscreen. Warm Clothing: The temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, so bring a light jacket or shawl. Environmentally friendly travel: Erhai Lake strictly protects its ecology. Swimming and littering are prohibited, and violators will be fined. Avoid car rental pitfalls: Use the official "Visit Dali" platform and take a video upon pickup to avoid disputes. Photography opportunities: Sunrise between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM, and sunset between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM, when the light is soft and the images are easy to capture. The beauty of Erhai Lake lies in its poetic beauty of "wind, flowers, snow, and moon," as well as its soothing, slow pace. Whether cycling, boating, or simply meditating, you can experience the romance and gentleness of this plateau lake.
Before coming to Dali, I checked out over 100 B&Bs and was completely captivated by "Zehai Shangju"! With its prime seaside location, 24/7 housekeepers, and incredibly photogenic infinity pool, waking up to the sight of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake from dawn to dusk truly soothed a year's worth of fatigue. 📍First and foremost: the location is incredible! The B&B is nestled between Shuanglang Ancient Town and Wase Xiaoputuo Temple, a 15-minute drive from Shuanglang and conveniently located for seagull watching. The entrance is right next to Erhai Lake, separated by a small path. Whether you're relaxing in your room, dining in the restaurant, or relaxing by the pool, you're greeted by the breathtaking view of "Cangshan Mountain as the backdrop, Erhai Lake as the scenery." No need to search for a vantage point—every photo is a beautiful sight. 🏠15 Ocean View Rooms: Each one a "Postcard View of Erhai Lake" My "Sunset Ocean View King Room" was a perfect match! ✔️Full-glass windows with private balconies allow you to watch the sunset from your bed. In the evening, the sun shines on the sea, creating a shimmering golden glow, creating a truly romantic atmosphere. ✔️The rooms are designed in a minimalist style, with smart voice control for lighting and air conditioning. They also come equipped with a projector, a mini-fridge, and 24-hour hot water. Thoughtful details abound. ✔️Second-floor rooms offer an even more stunning view, capturing the contours of Cangshan Mountain and the curvature of Erhai Lake. Wake up to the cries of seagulls in the morning, and open the window to a true scene of "facing the sea, spring blossoms in full bloom." 🌿Public Facilities: Perfect for both photography and leisure. ▪️Infinity Pool: The pool seamlessly connects to Erhai Lake. Take photos at 4 PM when the light is soft, and it's like being in the ocean. "Floating on the sea," just pose in a white dress and create stunning photos. ▪️Small Garden: The courtyard is filled with flowers and plants. Enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning or chat with friends in the evening, enjoying the refreshing breeze and the fresh scent of Erhai Lake. ▪️Gym + Children's Playground: Traveling with children or those looking to maintain an exercise routine is a breeze. Free parking is also convenient, so those driving can go with confidence. ▪️Floor-to-ceiling glass lobby: On cloudy days, sit in the lobby and watch the rain splash on Erhai Lake. The atmosphere is truly breathtaking, and any photo you take will be full of artistic charm. 🍴Food: A "vacation" for both taste and vision. ▪️Breakfast (8:30-10:00): Enjoy congee, rice noodles, or noodles, accompanied by six small plates, in the ocean-view restaurant. Enjoy while gazing at Erhai Lake shrouded in the morning mist, a relaxing start to the day. ▪️Afternoon Tea: Delivered to your room by your butler! Enjoy fruit, nuts, and cookies with coffee or tea on the balcony in the afternoon, watching the clouds drift over Cangshan Mountain. It's a relaxing and cozy experience. ▪️Goodnight Sweet Soup: The warm, sweet rice dumplings are served in the evening, a truly thoughtful touch. I heard the Western restaurant is opening soon, so I'll definitely try it next time I'm here. ▪️Rooftop Observation Deck: A must-see in the evening! Watch the sunset paint the sky pink and orange, and the fishing lights of the ancient city in the distance gradually light up. The breathtaking scenery of water and sky blends together is truly breathtaking, and a phone can't capture even a fraction of its beauty. 💁Butler Service: Thoughtful and thoughtful down to the last detail. ✔️Before check-in, your butler will send you detailed directions and parking instructions. Upon arrival, they'll even help with your luggage (since there's a slight incline, it's a relief not to have to carry your own luggage). ✔️If you're looking to go out, your butler will recommend routes, help book tickets, and even advise you on the best sunset photo opportunities. ✔️The 24-hour front desk is always available, and any questions are answered instantly. There's no formality like staying at a B&B; it's like being at a friend's house. 📝Small Tips: If you want a room with a great view, ask your host in advance for a second-floor ocean view room. The best time to stay is spring and autumn, when the weather is pleasant, the snow-capped Cangshan Mountains are clearly visible, and Erhai Lake appears even more azure. Suggested nearby activities: Visit the unique shops in Shuanglang Ancient Town, watch the seagulls at Xiaoputuo Temple in winter, and cycle along Haidong Road. Living in Zehai, you don't have to plan a full day; just looking at the sea, basking in the sun, and waiting for the sunset is incredibly blissful. #GirlyheartsB&B #These hotels have amazing views #High-end hotels you'll only understand after you've stayed there #Hotel addiction #One-stop resort hotel
As a "fake local" who spent two weeks in Dali, I honestly say: Erhai Lake is truly beautiful, but 90% of people visit it the wrong way! This article will teach you how to avoid the internet celebrity traps and experience it like a local. 👇 📌[A few honest words before you go] Don't rent an electric scooter for Erhai Lake tours! It sounds romantic, but the scorching sun and headwind make your legs weak, and you'll have to push the scooter halfway through. I learned this the hard way! Renting a small electric scooter (with a range of over 100 kilometers) is more reliable. It costs 50 yuan a day and saves a lot of effort. Don't rush to the popular S-curve during peak season! It's packed like a market, and every photo you take is the back of your head. Walk 200 meters deeper into Panxi Village, and you'll find the same curve with no one competing for your camera spot. You'll even see villagers fishing – it's much more relaxing. Don't trust group tours for "day trips around the lake"! They'll take you to a bunch of shopping spots, leaving you with only 10 minutes to take photos of the truly beautiful sights. It's better to drive your own electric scooter. The west coast of Erhai Lake is even more beautiful than the east! The west coast is close to Cangshan Mountain, offering stunning views of the "snow-capped Cangshan Mountain reflecting the moon on Erhai Lake." The east coast is all construction sites, making it look like a rural-urban fringe in photos. Don't go in the wrong direction! 🎫[Transportation & Accommodation Tips] Transportation: ▪️ From Xiaguan Railway Station to the Old Town: Take a taxi for 30 yuan. Don't take an illegal taxi; I heard someone was ripped off for 80 yuan! You can also take bus No. 8 for 2 yuan, but it's a one-hour detour. ▪️ For transportation around the lake: Renting an electric scooter is the best option! Look for a licensed shop, pay a 500 yuan deposit, and return it for a refund. Remember to have the driver fully charge the car and check the brakes and mirrors; a breakdown along the way is incredibly troublesome. ▪️ Never rent a car! Many sections of Huanhai West Road are blocked, and the detours can be dizzying. Parking is also expensive, making it uneconomical. Accommodation: 🏡 Want to explore the ancient city and watch the sunrise: Stay near the South Gate of Dali Ancient City. It's convenient for the night market in the evening. In the morning, it's a 10-minute walk to Erhai Gate, where you can watch the sunrise over Erhai Lake. B&Bs range from 100-200 RMB. I recommend the "Ancient City Courtyard Inn," where the owner will cook local rice noodles for breakfast. 🏡 Want to lie back and watch Erhai Lake: Stay near the Caicun Pier and choose a room on the second floor or higher. You'll have a balcony with a view of Erhai Lake, and you'll be woken by birdsong in the morning, and the shimmering water will be visible from the window. The downside is that it's far from the ancient city, so you'll have to eat in the village. ⚠️ Beware of those "sea view villas"! Many are deep in the village, requiring a half-hour drive along a dirt road. The so-called "sea view" is half-obstructed by trees, and they cost over 500 RMB per night. It's a rip-off! 🎒[You won't regret packing these things] Must-haves: Sunglasses (the sun can be blinding), straw hat (for sun protection and photo props), light jacket (the temperature can fluctuate 10 degrees between morning and evening, so wear short sleeves at noon and a jacket in the evening), flat shoes (the cobblestone streets in the ancient city are rough, so avoid high heels). ✅Photo-perfect accessory: A white skirt and a wicker bag. Take photos in the reeds at Caicun Wharf. The breeze blows through them, making them look so chic! Much more elegant than wearing a floral shirt while taking an S-bend. ✅Essential item: Portable trash bag! There are few trash cans along the coastal route, so don't litter carelessly. Erhai Lake is a fragile ecosystem, so be kind! 🚶♀️[Seaside Route, My Secret Guide] Day 1: Dali Ancient City → Caicun Wharf → Panxi S-bend ▪️Morning in the ancient city: Don't buy those "ethnic-style shawls"—9 out of 10 tourists wear them, and your photos look like copy-paste. Find "Yang's Rushan Shaqima" in the alley. Freshly made, crispy and sweet, it's 5 yuan each, and locals line up to buy it. ▪️ Caicun Pier: Go at 4 PM and rent a bike along the lake (20 yuan/hour). Stop by the Lotus Leaf Pond to capture the reflection of Cangshan Mountain, reminiscent of an ink painting. ▪️ Panxi S-bend: Go in the evening for the best light! Avoid the main road and head toward the "Haishe Ecological Park." There's a wooden plank road jutting out into the water. It'll make you feel like you're standing in the middle of Erhai Lake, and with fewer people, your photos will look great. Day 2: Xizhou Ancient Town → Shuanglang Ancient Town ▪️ Xizhou Ancient Town: In the morning, try "Xizhou Baba." I recommend the "Freshly Baba Shop." The sweet ones (with rose jam filling) are better than the savory ones (with scallion pork). The crust is so crispy right out of the oven that it's almost falling apart. The Bai ethnic minority dwellings in the ancient town are worth seeing. Tickets to the "Yan Family Courtyard" are 25 yuan, and you can watch a Bai girl perform the "Three-Course Tea" ritual, which is quite interesting. ▪️Haishe Ecological Park: Free! The Metasequoia trees there are stunning, resembling an oil painting when they turn yellow in autumn. Walk along the plank road to the end, where you can see the confluence of Erhai Lake's tributaries; the water is so clear you can count the stones. ▪️Shuanglang Ancient Town: Don't stay here! It's too commercialized to be Dali, and the bars are noisy until midnight. I recommend going to "Nanzhao Style Island" for sunset photography. The boat ticket is 50 yuan, and you can take photos of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in front of the "Azhaye Guanyin Statue" on the island. The golden light shining on the water at sunset is breathtaking. 🍗[Don't miss out on food] ▪️Must-try list: Roasted Milk Fan: Ask for freshly baked and sprinkled with rose sugar. The milky aroma blends with the floral fragrance. It might seem strange the first time, but the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. Hot and Sour Fish: Made with Erhai Lake fish and seasoned with sour papaya, it's a zesty and appetizing dish. I recommend "Haiyuelou," located near the Caicun Wharf, where you can enjoy the ocean view while eating. Rice Noodles: Chewier than rice noodles, these braised noodles are 10 yuan a bowl. "Weishan Baked Meat Rice Noodles" is a must-try in the ancient city. ▪️ Tips to Avoid: Don't buy the "Flower Cakes" in the ancient city! They're full of flavorings for 10 yuan for three. Go to "Jiahua Bakery" for freshly baked rose fillings with petals visible. "Seaview Restaurant" in Shuanglang: A serving of fried rice is 68 yuan, and the taste isn't as good as a street vendor. It's a rip-off based on the view. Dali's beauty lies not in its popular check-in spots, but in the wind blowing your hair as you ride an electric scooter around the sea; in the smiley voice of the proprietress saying, "Eat slowly, it's hot!" while eating baba in Xizhou Ancient Town; and in the silence of watching the sunset over Erhai Lake, where only the crash of the waves is audible. Don't rush your itinerary; stay for two days and you'll understand why so many people never want to leave. Ask in the comments if you have any questions. I'll answer everything! #DaliErhai #ErhaiPhotographyHolySpot
