"Last week's continuous rain in Dali really dampened my spirits. I'd been seriously debating whether to still take my child to Dali this week, not wanting to waste a whole week of annual leave for nothing. After much deliberation, I decided to just go for it and see what happens.
But the moment I saw Erhai Lake, I knew: it was absolutely the right decision! So glad we came!
Dali gifted us with beautiful weather. Erhai Lake is simply breathtaking. It has that serene, timeless beauty. ☀️🌊
Itinerary Day 1:
We drove over 4 hours from Fuxian Lake to Dali, arriving early in the afternoon when the sun was shining beautifully. We stayed at a guesthouse along the Erhai Ecological Corridor, boasting massive floor-to-ceiling windows that looked right out onto Erhai Lake. Even my child exclaimed, 'Wow, this is so peaceful!'
You could tell the owner had put a lot of thought into the guesthouse's decor. Every corner was picture-perfect. There were no unnecessary frills, yet everything felt refined and thoughtfully placed.
It gets dark quite late in Dali, so after we dropped off our bags and relaxed for a bit at the guesthouse, we went to rent bicycles. If you're traveling with kids, I highly recommend renting bikes with a rear-mounted child safety seat. They come with seatbelts, so you don't have to worry about them falling off. At 30 yuan per day, I thought it was incredibly good value for money.
Even though we only started riding in the late afternoon, we managed to cycle for almost two hours. The gentle breeze was just heavenly! Comparing it to Chongqing, which feels like an oven, this place was simply divine. During our ride, we stumbled upon a lovely, shallow spot perfect for children to splash around in. It was so pretty! We immediately ordered wading suits for delivery, planning to come back and play there first thing in the morning if the weather held up.
We didn't have dinner until around 8 PM, opting for a casual eatery. Their seafood fried rice was absolutely delicious! And spicy! It was actually our 7th wedding anniversary today. We didn't pick a fancy restaurant or have a celebratory cake, but we still felt incredibly happy and content with how the day unfolded. ☺️ After dinner, we leisurely cycled back to return our bikes, then took a relaxed stroll back to our guesthouse.
I asked the friendly guy at the front desk to warm up some milk for our son, and the rice noodles we had the next morning were also fantastic! Yunnan's rice noodles might look fiery with their red chili oil, but they're surprisingly mild, so kids can enjoy them without a problem. When we checked out, the staff member kindly helped us with our luggage and drove us to the parking area in their shuttle. He was incredibly friendly and helpful.
Looking forward to Day 2!"
