I captured the photo of my life in Dali in March

For someone who once lived in Dali for half a year and now visits Dali every year to bask in the sun, Erhai Lake is truly the white moonlight in my heart of Dali 🔆 From the end of October each year to March of the following year is the highlight time of Dali in my eyes. Endless blue skies and white clouds, Innumerable Siberian seagulls to feed, Sunrises and sunsets I never tire of watching, Countless exquisite shops to explore, A perfect destination for a leisurely retirement. Today, I will share with you my way of enjoying Dali 🏠 'Hotel Sharing' Nowadays, Dali Ancient Town is too commercialized, so I don't recommend staying near the ancient town. I suggest choosing a seaside B&B in the Haixi area of Erhai Lake upon arrival in Dali. The B&Bs in the Haixi area are more suitable, near Longkan Wharf and Panxi Bay. When choosing a hotel, be sure to check the renovation date of the hotel. Remember to choose new over old, and try to ensure the room size is no less than 30 square meters. 📸 'Photo Spots' Actually, every corner of Erhai Lake is beautiful, and there is really no need to queue at popular internet check-in spots. You should be good at discovering beauty with your own eyes, which makes it easier to capture your own unique life photos rather than the same old internet check-in photos. 🌟The seaside bench in front of the entrance to Haitong Park 🌟The ecological corridor next to Longkan Wharf 🌟Photo tip: Prepare some small props for shooting 🚲If renting a bicycle, try to choose a white, simple one. I recommend discarding the low-quality plastic flowers that come with rental bikes. The resulting photos will be cleaner and more Japanese style. ☀ 'Watching Sunrise and Sunset' .Bring thicker clothes, as the temperature difference between morning and evening is significant, and it gets very cold without the sun shining on you. .Haixi is suitable for watching the sunrise, while Haidong is more suitable for watching the sunset. .Self-driving friends can go to Zhemoshan to watch the sunset, which offers an overlook of Dali's night and Erhai Lake. .There is a Heart Coffee at Longkan Wharf that is especially beautiful when watching the sunrise. 🚗 '3 Days 2 Nights Dali Travel Strategy' DAY1: Arrive in Dali, check into the hotel, then enjoy Dali's cuisine. DAY2: Watch the sunrise at Longkan Wharf, then cycle along the lake corridor: Longkan Wharf - Cai Village - Covered Bridge - Xizhou Ancient Town - Couple's Tree. DAY3: Haidong Shuanglang - Check in at various beautiful coffee shops - Stay in Shuanglang to watch the sunset over Erhai Lake/Zhemoshan. 🎁 'Practical Tips Sharing' .If watching the sunrise, remember to go and wait more than 20 minutes in advance. .For feeding seagulls, I recommend unscented little bear biscuits. .The sun in Dali is really strong, remember to do a good job of sun protection and hydration. .When playing around Erhai Lake, don't rush and leave enough time to leisurely enjoy. .The corridors of Erhai Lake are not open to cars, so if you are staying at a hotel by the lake, be sure to consult the housekeeper in advance to understand the convenience of parking and arrival. .The blue hour before sunrise and after sunset is very suitable for taking atmospheric photos. .If traveling as a couple, I recommend bringing a tripod, as Erhai Lake is really too suitable for taking photos.
