Under the blue sky and white clouds, Erhai Lake seems to freeze time, enchanting everyone

✨✨Let's meet at Erhai Lake✨✨ ⭕⭕ Haixi Route Longkan Pier: Sunrise in summer is around 6:30 AM. Arrive early to capture the oil painting-like reflections of redwoods on the lake surface. Panxi S-Bend: Rent an electric bike (about 50 RMB/day) to ride along the ecological corridor. After rain, the lake is as blue as a gem. It is recommended to shoot the S-bend with cherry blossom trees as an alternative to the popular spots to avoid crowds. Xizhou Ancient Town: Rice fields incorporate AR technology; scanning the rice waves triggers animations of Bai ethnic girls. Photos taken at the corner tower and the yellow walls of Xilinyuan have a 100% success rate. Haishe Park: Walk along the wetland boardwalk, focusing on capturing forest-style compositions of the couple trees and dead trees on the shallow beach. ⭕⭕ Haidong Route (Cliff Sea View Self-Drive Tour) 5. Shuanglang Ancient Town: Enjoy afternoon tea at seaside cafes (such as Pessoa Countryside Cafe). At dusk, it is recommended to stay at a first-line sea view guesthouse to watch the sunset over Cangshan Mountain. 6. Wenbi Village: Rainbow Road overlooks Erhai Lake’s "blue hour." The mountaintop café requires a minimum spend to be seated (about 40 RMB per person). 7. Luwoshan: Shoot cliff window frame silhouettes at dusk. Wearing a bright-colored long dress is recommended to enhance contrast in photos. 8. Lixiangbang: When photographing the blue and white buildings, be aware of paid areas (e.g., entrance fee for the sky pool is 80 RMB per person). ⭕⭕⭕ Must-Try Foods Xizhou Baba: A savory combo of scallion oil and rose sugar (5 RMB each). Recommended stall: "Yang Ji Crispy Baba" freshly baked. Sour and Spicy Fish: Made with Erhai crucian carp and papaya sour soup. For about 40 RMB per person, try it at Lao Li’s Baoshan Tongpiao Beef Restaurant in Shuanglang. Rushan Cheese: Grilled and dipped in rose sauce. The authentic version is also sold at "Zai Huishou Cold Chicken Rice Noodles" in the ancient town. Seasonal Tips and Notes 🌞🌞🌞 June Travel Tips Climate: Average daily temperature is 23-25°C. Humidity rises after showers, so bring a foldable raincoat (prices double in scenic areas). Photography: During the rainy season with mist and clouds, use a polarizing filter to enhance lake reflections. Teal and orange tones suit the corridor bridge scenes. Transportation: For the Haidong loop, prioritize renting a Tesla Model Y (400km+ range). Drive cautiously on curves. Avoid Pitfalls: Beware of low-priced travel photography packages (common around the S-bend). Legitimate services require advance booking and portfolio review.
