The same sparkling seaside restaurant as Yang Yang~ The best light is for fairies who can wake up early in the morning. It is best to go there to take pictures in the morning. It is really beautiful. If you are lucky, you can take pictures of seagulls~
I chose the 298 double set meal. It is enough for two people to finish it~
The most recommended place to visit Erhai Lake is Liuyue, both the hotel and the restaurant are worth recommending! In Shuanglang Town, the hotel and the restaurant are separated, less than 600 meters away, the dishes are delicious and the service is thoughtful!

Enjoy the food and the beautiful scenery by the Erhai Lake.
You can never get a dinner reservation, so you can order afternoon tea. Go there from Longkan.
There are not many seats near the sea, and we were lucky to get an empty one. The afternoon tea set for two costs more than 300 yuan, including taco, ham, various cakes and desserts, and special drinks.
Many Internet celebrities come here to take pictures.
The environment is super beautiful, right next to Erhai Lake. Every shot is a beautiful view. The dishes and desserts are also great. I highly recommend it. It's a place not to be missed when you come to Dali.

👍 This restaurant is really a pleasant surprise! Not only can you taste rich and high-quality beer, wine and spirits, but you can also enjoy international fine drinks. The whole store exudes a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere, and the environment is simply charming. Whether it is the appearance or the taste, it is perfect, and it is definitely popular among girls! 😍
Arrive in the afternoon and stroll along the bluestone streets, past Bai ethnic minority dwellings. Explore the narrow alleys leading directly to Erhai Lake, capturing the poetic beauty of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Sit in a seaside café, watch the shimmering waters, and unwind for a leisurely half-day. Don't forget to indulge your taste buds with the freshly baked flower cakes and grilled milk fans. There's no need to chase after sights; simply strolling is the best experience.

The mushroom hotpot is great. We had the cured pork ribs, the mushrooms tasted very fresh, and the fried rice was especially great! We bought a set meal for 2 people, and the side dishes were large enough for 3 people. The restaurant staff was very enthusiastic, especially the handsome waiter Xiaoda, who was very thoughtful and considerate.
The taste is good and the portion is large. The 6 of us couldn't finish it.

I had a great time eating and drinking in Dali Ancient Town these few days! I found a lot of treasures and delicious restaurants. The environment and taste were good. I highly recommend Jinshan Hundred Years Ancient Courtyard Restaurant (Wang's Old House)! I really like the traditional Bai ethnic cuisine and the Bai ethnic spring rolls!
In spring, the Tubu fish from Yunnan's water towns is fresh and delicious, and is the most delicious dish. The braised Tubu fish is simple to make, without complicated seasonings, and highlights the rich fresh flavor. The fish meat is tender and delicious, with more than 70% edible part, and rich in nutrition.

This cliff-view restaurant in Dali has a fantastic location, hanging over the Erhai Lake, with a broad view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. While enjoying the delicious food in the sea breeze, your whole body and mind become open.
Not only is the environment super good, but the food is also very delicious. Sitting in the restaurant, with the boundless Erhai Lake in front of you and the majestic mountains behind you, you feel like you are in a painting.

[Taste] I stayed at their hotel and had dinner in the restaurant. I felt that the dishes tasted good. I liked their small hot pot. There are also seafood and sashimi. Fenghuaxueyue is also good. You can drink. The service is very good. As soon as you enter the door, a young lady greeted you with a smile. Mark took you to your seat and introduced the dishes. A hot pot room was also arranged. It’s also very good. 👍👍
The taste is good, the quantity is large, it is very authentic, the environment is beautiful and comfortable, you can see the beautiful scenery of Erhai Lake, it is worth it
