Introduction

One of the four famous scenic spots in Dali is the Erhai Lake, which looks like an ear and is a plateau lake formed by the collapse of the West Erhai River. Erhai Lake has three islands, four and a half peninsulas, five lakes, and nine winding waterways. The lake water is clear and transparent, known as the "flawless jade surrounded by mountains." The local dwellings along the lake, such as Shuanglang, Caicun, and Xizhou, are popular tourist attractions. Shuanglang is even known as the "divine light of Erhai," Caicun was a filming location for the movie "Butterfly Lovers," and Xizhou is known for its Bai ethnic architecture.
