Dali Erhai Lake and My Love for the Sea

How can you visit Dali without experiencing a sea view room at Erhai Lake!? This Douhua Guesthouse is breathtakingly beautiful! The basement-level restaurant offers dining, coffee, and drinks. Looking up, you see blue skies, white clouds, Cangshan Mountain, and Erhai Lake. It's so beautiful I want to move my home to their basement! On clear days, you can see stunning sunsets 🌇 and after 8 PM, the sea turns a beautiful blue—truly amazing and perfect for photos! I stayed in the sea view king room, facing the sea with almost an entire wall of windows. Lying in bed, you can see Erhai Lake. The bedding is very comfortable, and I slept very well! The breakfast is nutritious and healthy, including local Dali yogurt. The owner is really thoughtful! 📍Douhua Guesthouse

Erhai Lake

🌞 Escape to Dali for holiday vibes—think golden fields, dramatic mountains, and ridiculously photogenic blue skies! If you’re craving outdoor natural scenery and a serious hit of “Nature-Vision” (hello, rapeseed flowers!), Erhai Lake is absolute perfection. 🚗✨ Must-See Place: Erhai Lake Address: No. 1 Henan Road, Xiaguan, Dali Hours: Open year-round, all day Insider tip: Head out early or close to sunset when the light makes the landscape totally magical—fields glow gold, and you get Insta-worthy views of the mountains framed by fluffy white clouds. Pack a picnic and bring a camera: wandering the lake shores is literally a zen-level chill session. If you're visiting in spring, rapeseed flowers explode in bright yellow, making the whole area feel dreamy. Getting Around: The easiest way to explore Erhai Lake is to rent an ebike or bicycle—roads around the lake are smooth and safe. (Bonus: It’s way more flexible than taxis or public buses, especially for stopping at hidden scenic spots.) Food Fix: Local must-tries include Dali rice noodles and fresh grilled fish from the lake. Pop into any small eatery near the pier for the real deal. Travel Tips: No visa hassles for most tourists (check your country rules), and the weather is pleasant year-round—just pack a light jacket for mountain breezes. Cash is king in rural spots, so have some yuan handy; digital payments aren't everywhere yet. #DaliDreams #ErhaiLake #NatureVision #ChinaTravel #SunnyExplores
