Shacun, the birthplace of Osprey culture
Sha Cun is the largest fishing village on the shore of Erhai Lake and the birthplace of Dali's fish hawk culture. It was once made famous by the movie "Five Golden Flowers", but now it has lost its prosperity. What remains are the fishing boats on Erhai Lake and the timeless fish hawk culture. Located in a bay of Erhai Lake, the seawater here is as calm as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky. Occasionally, a fishing boat breaks the tranquility as it sets sail, creating ripples on the water's surface.
Haizhi Park, the spirit of Erhai Lake
According to local historical records: "Qingsha Island, with a length of 3 li, stretches from wide to narrow into Erhai Lake, like a tongue, hence the name HaiShe (Sea Tongue)". This sandbank extends into Erhai Lake like a tongue and is the only place where you can see Erhai Lake from 270°. Standing on the shore, standing for a long time, looking at the transparent blue sky, clean white clouds, distant continuous mountains, and the same scenery reflected in Erhai Lake, standing freely in front of you. The meaning of walking is to obtain such a wonderful moment, a moment of wordlessness.
Zhou City, the hometown of Bai tie ran
Here float a dynamic sense of elegance and wit, a simple and solid charm that tugs at the heartstrings; here can be seen everywhere blue and white tie-dye fabrics, stone paths outside every household's door, flowing water outside every door. This is Zhoucheng, known as the "hometown of Bai tie-dye". The Bai people in Zhoucheng mainly follow Buddhism, and there are Buddhist temples such as Yinxiang Temple and Longquan Temple in Zhoucheng. Like other Bai villages, Zhoucheng also has its own local temples. The main deity worshipped in Lingdi Temple is Du Chaoxuan, a heroic figure who defended the Butterfly Spring. The main deity worshipped in Jingdi Temple is Zhao Mulangang, the ancestor who opened Zhoucheng. They are both legendary heroes and ancestors, the local protectors of this village.
