It is about 200 kilometers from Wuliang Mountain Cherry Blossom Valley to Dali Shuanglang, a 3.5-hour drive. It took us nearly 5 hours to enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way and have lunch halfway through. It took us nearly 5 hours to travel around Huanhai East Road from Dixixia Expressway.

Although driving around without the howling sea breeze that comes in front of you when you ride a bicycle, you can quietly experience the scenery along the way. There are gradually more and more families along the road along the lake, and there are residential buildings with blue tiles and white walls everywhere. Hundreds of years of old houses in ancient towns, simple folk customs, and modern humanities, a prosperous scene that blends ancient and modern times.

Passing through a Bai people's temple, which is a unique place for religious activities of the Bai people. The Temple of the Bai Nationality stands tall and stands all over the Cangshan and Erhai seas. Become a beautiful scenery in the Bai area. A Benzhu Temple is actually a Bai religious history museum.

This is the quietest piece of land along the Erhai Lake. There are few tourists and the lake water is still. Boating on the lake also removes the busy work scene of fishermen and replaces it with leisure.

On the vast blue water, a small boat rippled on the calm sea, and the fishermen leisurely carried out their daily fishing operations. The beautiful Erhai Lake comes into view and is simply a natural and beautiful picture.

The yearning for the double corridors stems from Yang Liping's Sun Palace and Moon Palace. I dreamed of one day spending the night by the Erhai Lake with my lover. Today, this wish has finally come true. I booked the last stop of this trip to Yunnan at Shuanglang and booked a sea view honeymoon queen room at Linhai Hotel.

Sitting on the balcony listening to the wind and watching the scenery, I instantly felt a sense of beauty.

Our hotel is not far from the Sun Palace. After settling down, go to Yuji Island to experience it. The most beautiful scenery is on the road. The Erhai Lake on Huanhai East Road is close to the road. The lake water is blue. The dead trees and water plants on the shore in winter sway in the wind, and the lake water is decorated with warm colors of gold and orange, making the winter melancholy warm up.

This scene has the flavor of Jiuzhaigou Haizi, but the dead trees in Jiuzhaigou Haizi are older, while the Erhai Lake is full of youthful vitality. Cangshan Mountain is like the patron saint of the Erhai Lake, building a barrier through its undulations.

"The scenery of Dali is in Canger, the scenery of Canger is in Shuanglang, and the scenery of Shuanglang is in Yuji." Yuji Island condenses the essence of Canger, with bars, songs, beaches and fishermen. Yuji Island, which integrates landscape bonsai, cultural landscapes, historical customs, and folklore, has very distinctive Bai folk houses as well as very individual buildings.

Yuji Island is the smallest of the three islands in the Erhai Lake. It is named because it looks like a tea table. The pronunciation of "Yuji" in Bai language is the same as that of a jade bracelet. In fact, the most eye-catching history of Yuji Island should be the place where Yang Guixian, the wife of the founding emperor of Dali State, became a monk and practiced.

The Bai residents of Yuji Island have made a living by fishing for generations. Every family is close to the water and every household grows flowers... It is such a small Bai fishing village that was originally quiet, but it is lively because artists such as Yang Liping and Yang Qing chose to build houses here.

Obviously, the buildings on Yuji Island have become more fashionable. Most of them are inns and a few bars, cafes, and tourist shops. Although it is off-season, I don't realize the lack of market atmosphere.


The bustling crowd is like fresh blood injected into the town at any time. Wherever it flows, warmth and rhythm are boiling. The pouring sun's rays, the blue and agile Erhai Lake, and the towering Cangshan Mountains make people sigh that there are such a beautiful and wonderful time town in this world!

Tickets are purchased on-site at the entrance of the "Yubo Pavilion" in Yuji Island (10 yuan per person), and a Bai guide is provided for every ten or so tourists. Walking through the winding alleys like a wall seam, most of the houses on both sides are renovated with stone walls, powder walls and carved wooden doors, with a typical national style.

Yang Liping's villa is built next to the lake. But because there is not a good angle, it is difficult to see the complete building, so you can only get a glimpse from afar. It should be said that Yang Liping Villa occupies the best position on Yuji Island. You can see the broad lake surface of the Erhai Lake, and opposite the Erhai Lake is the majestic Cangshan Mountain.

The Sun Palace is at the front end of the island. A huge arc-shaped moon gate is like a small bridge or a rainbow shadow. It is gently built on the edge of the island. It looks like the main entrance of the Sun Palace, but in fact it is an open-air balcony.

There are Cangshan and Erhai Lake here, as well as wind, flowers, snow and moon. Lazy, slow, fresh and quiet. Under the big green trees, listening to the sea and the wind is beautiful.

Walking through Yang Liping Villa and passing through a line of sky, you will arrive at the Yang Liping Art Hotel. The hotels are all floor-to-ceiling windows facing the lake. However, due to the location and angle of the hotel, it is difficult to take a panoramic view, so I can only barely take a side photo of the hotel.

The adjacent "Qinglu" is built on the rocks on the cliffs by the lake, facing the bay. The three characters "Golden Dragon Cave" are engraved on the cliff at the foot of the house. On the stone wall next to it, there is an ancient yellow kudzu tree that is nearly two hundred years old. Its roots stretch out like curls around the wall. The wall of Qinglu leans against the tree body, and part of the wall is even embedded in the tree trunk.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Du Wenxiu, a peasant uprising army, once set up naval barracks on Yuji Island and set up military facilities-battery towers-here to guard the island. Later, after the vicissitudes of time, they left behind ruins, becoming Yuji Island's best place to overlook the 19th peaks of Cangshan Mountain and the Erhai Lake in front of you.

The most eye-catching history of Yuji Island is the place where Yang Guixian, the wife of the founding emperor of Dali State, became a monk and practiced. The thousand-year-old "Yuji Temple" still exists at the southern end of the island.

Most Yuji Island has the surname Zhao, which originated from the fishermen surnamed Zhao who settled on the island during the Qianlong period. There is a "Zhao Ancestral Temple" built on the rural square on Yuji Island.

Watching the sunset on Yuji Island is a romantic thing, because Cangshan Mountain is on the west side of Shuanglang, and only the sunset will fall on Cangshan Mountain side.

As evening approaches, the sun gradually changes from orange to red. Under the projection of the sun's rays, the white clouds change their own colors. Large clusters of clouds are passed through by the sun. The effect of backlighting makes the clouds black. The light falling from the clouds and in the gaps is like a beam from a flashlight, piercing into the soft heart of the Erhai Lake like a sharp blade. At the moment it enters the water surface, the light is broken and turned into golden light, touching the Erhai Lake affectionately.

The small piece of clouds at the top of the sunset is like clear amber at this time, spreading out in the deep blue sky... What place is more suitable than here for a vow of friendship and lifelong attachment?

I am admiring the Japanese yen falling on Cangshan,

Let's wait until the moon in Erhai Lake is like a hook.

Walking through Yuji Island, roadside vendors are still hawking local specialties such as fried fish, shrimp, and potatoes in the cold wind. Various tourist goods are filled with shops and roadside.

Back at the hotel, I ordered local specialties at a nearby restaurant and had it delivered to my room. I ate on the balcony while enjoying the moon.

The two swam in colorful colors,

The moon in Erhai Lake is like a hook.

Bring tea products in the wind,

Surprise the gulls in the sea.

Not only did I see the most beautiful sunset, but I also saw the best starry sky in the Double Corridor. I couldn't take pictures without professional equipment. I hadn't seen such a bright starry sky for many years.

Wake up to the sound of birds in the morning, lie in bed and watch the sunrise, and enjoy the days gently awakened by the fine sunshine. There are beautiful scenery and comfortable times here.

Sitting in the hanging basket on the balcony, facing the Erhai Lake, closing your eyes, the sun shining on your eyelids, and there is a feeling of red in your eyes. The hot warmth spreads from your eyes to your whole body, leaving the world's troubles behind you. Relax your body, empty your head, and don't think about anything at this moment...

Continue to drive around the Erhai Lake. The cool sea breeze along the way is not salty but fresh. Driving against the wind, what I can hear in my ears is the wind that washes my soul and my own thoughts that have been accumulated over the years.

No matter why I came to this pure land, there is only relief and emptiness left at this moment. I am far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the fixed smiles, and the false grace. If I could, I really wish that the wheels would not stop turning, time would still, and never leave here.

When you pass a hotel near the sea, you will suddenly feel like you are in another world. The sun, cabins, terraces, and waves. You will feel that all the trouble you have endured to come here is worth it.

When you lie down on the recliner on the seaside terrace, the whole world seems to melt, and time also freezes. At this moment, only the warm sun shines on you, the sea breeze gently blows at the ends of your hair, and you listen with your eyes closed. The sound of the waves can smell laziness in the air, and you will involuntarily sigh. This is life.

Whenever you go to Dali, Shuanglang is a must-visit place. Shuanglang is named Shuanglang because there are Luoshi Qu in the north, Lotus Qu in the south, and Jinsuo Islands and Yuji Islands in front of them surrounded by the double bends.

The leisure square by the Erhai Lake is located in the administrative center of the town. The majestic ancient buildings stand tall and tall. Fishermen leisurely fishing on the sea, relax and exercise, walk their dogs for walks, and take a nap in the promenade... All these feelings and scenes blend into one, forming a natural and peaceful market.

This town is not big. There is a small street running through both ends, with two rows of shops, large and small, and the teeth of new and old buildings are intertwined.

Stalls abound, and most of the products are silver jewelry, spatholobi bracelets, yak bone ornaments, bamboo made pottery tile containers, aquatic fish mussels, bait silk milk fans and the like.

Of course, after seeing enough of these scenery, don't forget to hold your lover's hand and take a leisurely walk on the streets of Shuanglang Town. Compared with the unique style of the hotel's decoration, the folk street view actually makes people feel more down-to-earth. After experiencing those beautiful romantic journeys, holding your lover's hand and going to the street to eat a bowl of bait silk, buying a piece of tie-dye cloth, and quietly listening to the very cordial dialect conversations of the local people, can life be more fireworks.

Living in the double corridors along the Erhai Lake, you can watch the sea by the Erhai Lake during the day and look up at the stars at night; you can ride a bicycle on the roadside, boat freely on the sea, or you can find a pavilion to sit down and read in peace; of course, the easiest thing is to bask in the sun, listen to the wind and stare blankly...

Before leaving, I had a wonderful seascape fish banquet by the Erhai Lake, and I reached the most comfortable state in terms of touch and taste.

If you give me a jade hairpin, I will tie up your long hair.

Wash all the lead flowers, and from then on, the world will be dusk.

Be in a daze, watch the sea view, and bask in the sun. Slow breeze, warm sunshine, blue sky and infinite natural scenery. Erhai Lake is like a mirror and the space is picturesque. The Sea of Love is definitely worth your visit!

In the cold and depressed winter, the north is either shrouded in smog or biting cold winds and harsh weather. But south of the beautiful colorful clouds, there is still clear water and blue sky, warm and sunny. The hot warmth spread from the bottom of my eyes to my whole body. At this time, I don't think about anything, leaving the world's troubles behind. Goodbye, South of Colorful Clouds, we will come again! I look forward to one day we will walk through the seasons of Dali together and watch the morning and dusk of Erhai Lake.

When I got home at 11:30 p.m., my daughter drove to the station to pick us up. Another unforgettable journey ended perfectly. This trip to Yunnan not only saw the beautiful scenery but also tasted local specialties. Lijiang's ribs hot pot, delicious Matsutake stewed chicken from Lugu Lake, Matsutake stewed lake fish with Matsutake, Naxi grilled fish, ginkgo fruit stewed chicken from Ginkgo Village, big rescue, ginkgo flower scrambled eggs, shredded bait, ham cooked chicken made from Wuliangshan Black-bone Chicken, Erhai Hot and sour fish, braised chicken, etc. I answered the saying that only food, beauty and love must not be let down.
