Tour 'Wow' Points
Erhai Lake
Erhai Lake is the heart of Dali’s natural beauty, famous for its clear blue water and wide-open views. With the Cangshan Mountains on one side and lakeside villages on the other, the lake offers peaceful cycling routes, scenic drives, and unforgettable sunsets. It’s an essential stop for anyone who loves nature and open landscapes.
Ideal City (Ideal Town / Ideal State)
Ideal City is a modern cliffside complex overlooking Erhai Lake, often compared to a Mediterranean-style seaside town. With white buildings, terraces, and panoramic lake views, it’s one of the most photogenic spots in Dali. It’s perfect for photography, coffee breaks, and enjoying a stylish contrast to the region’s traditional villages.
Shuanglang
Shuanglang is a charming lakeside village on the eastern shore of Erhai Lake, known for its calm atmosphere and stunning lake views. White houses, small cafés, and boutique guesthouses line the water, making it a favorite place to slow down and relax. It’s especially beautiful in the early morning and at sunset.
Xizhou
Xizhou is a beautifully preserved Bai ethnic town known for its traditional courtyard houses, relaxed pace, and deep cultural roots. Walking through its old streets, you’ll see ornate Bai architecture, local markets, and everyday village life that feels untouched by time. It’s an ideal place to experience authentic local culture away from the crowds.
Dali Ancient Town
Dali Ancient Town blends history, culture, and a laid-back lifestyle. Surrounded by city walls and backed by the Cangshan Mountains, the town is filled with cobblestone streets, historic gates, cafés, craft shops, and temples. It’s a perfect place to stroll, people-watch, and enjoy Dali’s artistic and bohemian atmosphere.
