Don't come, because it's truly...

Dali is a romantic💕and beautiful place, with many interesting people from all over the world living and traveling here. You'll discover that life is much more than what you see in front of you. 🌤️Travel dates📆: Try to avoid holidays, as accommodation prices will be much higher. Avoid the rainy season from early May to July/August. Be sure to check the weather forecast in advance. 🚗Transportation: External transportation: Dali✈️Airport is small, and there aren't many flights. You can compare airfare prices and choose to land in Lijiang or Kunming and transfer, taking the opportunity to explore those cities as well. Dali internal transportation: It is recommended to rent a car for the Erhai Lake loop§(the entire loop is over 100 km and riding an electric scooter is really tiring). There are many car rental agencies in Dali, and your accommodation can also help you contact one. A small convertible is great for taking photos (but it's very windy and sunny, so it's better to put the top up when you're not taking photos). 🏨Accommodation: There are many guesthouses and hotels to choose from in Dali Santorini and the surrounding area. If you want to experience the local customs, you can choose to stay in a guesthouse in Shuanglang Town or near Xiaoputu. If you want to enjoy a more comfortable accommodation environment, you can choose to stay in a hotel in Dali Santorini. 🗺Travel routes: 1. Xingsheng Bridge → Dali Ancient City → Stay overnight in the ancient city or by Erhai Lake 2. Longkan Wharf sunrise → Caicun → Panxi S-bend → Langqiao → Xizhou Ancient Town → Stay overnight in Xizhou 3. Shuanglang Ancient Town → Erhai East Road → Xiaoputu → Wenbi Village → Return 🌅Must-see attractions: 📍Longkan Wharf: An excellent place to watch the sunrise. The morning sun shines on the water, creating a shimmering effect, and there are large areas of Metasequoia trees, making for a super atmospheric photo opportunity. 📍Panxi Village S-bend: A popular spot for photos. The azure lake water, white waves, and emerald green grass create a beautiful setting for cycling or strolling, allowing you to experience the gentleness of Erhai Lake. 📍Xizhou Ancient Town: Picturesque Bai ethnic architecture is scattered throughout the town, and wheat waves roll across the fields. You can experience the rich ethnic customs and take Japanese-style fresh photos. 🍱Food recommendations: You must try the hot and sour fish. The tender fish is paired with a unique hot and sour soup, making it super appetizing. There's also Rushan cheese, which is sweet, crispy, and full of milky flavor. Xizhou Baba is not to be missed either; the savory version is filled with the aroma of green onions, while the sweet version is soft and glutinous. 📌Tips: Check the weather forecast in advance and choose a sunny day for your trip, as the scenery will be even more picturesque. The Erhai Lake loop takes a long time, so remember to bring sunscreen, snacks, and water. When driving, pay attention to speed control, obey traffic rules, and put safety first. Friends, pack your bags and come to Erhai Lake for a date with the wind, flowers, snow, and moon💕!
