Erhai Lake, with its crystal-clear waters, is surrounded by dramatic mountains and charming ancient towns. Visitors can take a boat ride on the lake to enjoy the serene beauty, or bike around the lake to explore the small villages, temples, and scenic viewpoints that dot its shores.

Dali Ancient Town is a beautifully preserved town with traditional Bai architecture, cobblestone streets, and vibrant markets. The town exudes a relaxed, bohemian vibe, with cafes, handicraft shops, and temples offering a mix of history and local culture. It’s the perfect place to wander, shop, and soak up the slow pace of life.

Dali is home to the Bai ethnic minority, and visiting local Bai villages is an excellent way to immerse yourself in traditional culture. Experience the warmth of the Bai people, admire their unique architecture, and learn about their customs, including their famous Bai-style whitewashed homes.
