Erhai Lake is located in the east of the ancient city of Dali, at the foot of the lush Cangshan Mountain, with a blue lake. It is famous for its beautiful scenery and unique villages and towns, and is one of the four famous scenes in Dali. The famous scenery of Erhai Lake is the double corridors on the east bank, where you can enjoy the beautiful lake view. The sunlight penetrates through the clouds and refracts on the lake water, forming the "Erhai Shenguang", which is a scenic blockbuster captured by photographers with the continuous green hills as the background. Erhai Lake is divided into Haidong and Haixi. Haidong is dominated by natural scenery, and Cangshan Erhai Lake can be seen by looking up. Haidong's highway is close to the sea, so you can drive or ride a battery car. If you have enough time, it is recommended to ride the Haidong Line. Haixi is dominated by human landscape. Dali ancient city and Xizhou ancient town are all in Haixi, and Haixi highway is far from the seaside. You need to drive in every scenic spot to see Erhai Lake.
