Live shots straight from the camera! Dali has been a fairy tale these two weeks🌸||I visit Dali multiple times every year And the most beautiful season in Dali is undoubtedly autumn and winter With fiery red maple trees, dancing seagulls, golden ginkgo leaves, and blooming winter cherry blossoms All concentrated in November and December Paired with the poetic scenery of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake It truly feels like stepping into a fairy tale world 📍Location: Longkan Dock to Haishe Park section, west of Erhai Lake, Dali 📷Equipment: NIKON Z50Ⅱ + 24—70f4 + 28f2.8 🍂Must-visit stunning photo spots in autumn/winter 1️⃣ Chongyi Village Compared to Longkan Dock, this place has fewer tourists, making it more suitable for peaceful photography. However, with fewer people, there are also fewer seagulls. It's recommended to come here after sunrise to capture those tranquil and beautiful moments. 2️⃣ Longkan Dock Sunrise, seagulls, and red maple trees - this place has it all, making it one of the most beautiful autumn spots in Dali. Here, you can take in the most beautiful autumn scenery at once. The only downside is the large number of tourists, so you may need patience to wait for the perfect photo opportunity. 3️⃣ Sansheng Island A place famous for its coffee shop, with many seagulls. Although there are no red maple trees here, it's an excellent spot for sunrise viewing. 4️⃣ Xiabopeng The lone red maple tree by the lake has become the iconic photo spot here. The key advantage is fewer people and beautiful scenery, making it perfect for photography. 5️⃣ Haishe Park With a daily limit of 200 visitors, this beautiful scenery belongs only to a lucky few. Remember to make reservations at 6 PM sharp. The lighting at noon is most enchanting - don't miss it. 📷About photography A great camera is key to beautiful photos. The Nikon Z50Ⅱ camera allows one-touch switching between photographers' filter presets, making it super beginner-friendly. For this shoot, I chose Links' filter (Nature), resulting in natural, layered photos with warm tones that seem to blend the lake and mountain scenery into the images. Even using the same filter, photos taken at different times have unique stories due to changing light and shadows. The live shots from this shoot also benefited from the camera's auto-focus tracking. Before shooting, just tap the subject on the screen, and the camera will automatically track focus, making it super convenient for moving subjects and eliminating worries about focus issues. ✅✅Practical tips 1️⃣ While sunrise photography in Dali is beautiful, there are too many people. Consider visiting some lesser-known spots first, then head to popular locations after 9-10 AM when the crowd thins out, making photography more comfortable. 2️⃣ Photograph seagulls early in the morning. Once they're full from being fed, they stop flying, significantly reducing photo opportunities.

#springitinerary #龙龛码头 #LongkanWharf #ErhaiLakeViews #DaliTravel #YunnanScenery #ErhaiShore #HiddenGemDali #DaliSunset #SlowTravelChina As part of my spring itinerary in Dali, I visited Longkan Wharf (龙龛码头) — a peaceful lakeside spot along Erhai that felt far from the crowds yet full of quiet beauty. Arriving in the late afternoon, I found a wide, open view of Erhai Lake, framed by soft reeds and mountains in the distance. There were just a few locals and travelers enjoying the calm. The breeze from the lake was gentle, and the reflection of the sky in the still water created a dreamlike atmosphere. Compared to other busier spots around Erhai, this place was calm and photogenic. The golden hour light made it perfect for photos, quiet moments, or simply watching the waves roll in. Travel Tips: • Best time to visit: Late afternoon for warm light and peaceful ambiance. • Ideal for photographers: Wide-angle lake views and minimalist landscape shots. • No crowds: A great alternative to the more commercial areas around Erhai. • Bring water/snacks: Limited shops or vendors in the area. • Wear comfortable shoes: Some uneven stones and gravel paths near the lake edge. • Optional: Rent an e-bike from Dali Old Town and ride here along the lakeside. How to Get There: • By car or Didi from Dali Old Town: About 10–15 minutes. • By bike or e-bike: A scenic and easy ride along Erhai’s western shore. • Public transport: Limited; better to use a taxi or private vehicle. • Combine with: A stop at Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple, or a ride around Erhai’s lakeside roads.

#Mainland Travel Dali in Yunnan, China is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many scenic spots in Dali. This time I will introduce a very famous local attraction: Longkan Wharf Observation Deck. Longkan Wharf is located in the Erhai Lake Scenic Area in Dali. It is an excellent place to enjoy the sunrise and one of the must-see attractions in Dali. Every winter, the red metasequoia trees here are the most beautiful, and there are also thousands of Siberian seagulls nesting here. At the same time, the old screen wall of "Haiyue" at Longkan Wharf is the filming location of Wutong Inn in the movie "Heart Flower Road".

#springwander At Longkan Pier, time feels different. As dawn breaks, the first golden light spills across Erhai Lake, turning the water into a canvas of soft, shifting hues. It’s the kind of scene that doesn’t need rushing—where lingering is the best way to experience it. From sunrise to lazy midday reflections, this is a place where hours slip away effortlessly. Whether you sit by the pier or simply watch the world wake up, there’s nowhere else you’d rather waste a day. 🌅✨🌊

If you’re looking for a trip that feels straight out of a fairytale, Yunnan is the place to be! From ancient towns to snow-capped mountains and dreamy landscapes, this adventure had it all. Lijiang – Wandering through the cobbled streets of Lijiang Old Town felt like stepping back in time. Red lanterns, flowing canals, and rooftops stretching into the sky—every corner was a postcard moment! Oh, and let’s not forget the stunning Jade Dragon Snow Mountain. The view? Absolutely breathtaking! (And yes, the altitude had me gasping too, but totally worth it.) Shangri-La – The name says it all! This place is pure magic. We explored Songzanlin Monastery, aka “Little Potala Palace,” and soaked in the peaceful vibes. Then, we strolled through Dukezong Ancient Town, a charming maze of wooden houses, Tibetan prayer flags, and the world’s largest prayer wheel. Spinning it is said to bring good luck—so, of course, I gave it a few extra turns! Dali – The chillest town ever! Biking around Erhai Lake with the mountains in the background was a dream. And of course, I couldn’t resist stopping by the local souvenir stores in Dali Old Town—so many unique handicrafts, silver jewelry, and traditional Bai-style artworks to bring home! Yunnan, you’ve officially stolen my heart! Who’s up for this adventure next? ✨⛰️🏯 #YunnanDiaries #LijiangToShangrila #DaliVibes

This is the famous Longkan Wharf, in Dali. I went there in the afternoon, arrived at around 11am and there's already so many people. But the view is definitely not disappointing. It's said to offer even better view during the sunrise. So I would suggest anyone to get up early and experience the sunrise here. I rented the E-bike and rode here from my hotel. it was about a 25 minutes ride. But the view along the way was also 💯. Definitely would recommend anyone to just rent e-bike and explore Dali. #travel #dali #longkanwharf #china

|Watch the sunrise at Longkan Wharf. It is said that the best place to watch the sunrise in Dali is at Longkan Wharf and Xindi Coffee. Because I went to Xindi to drink afternoon tea, I chose to watch the sunrise at Longkan Wharf. Transportation: Longkan Wharf is a popular attraction near Dali Ancient City. It is very convenient to get there from the ancient city. In fact, I don't want to talk about the transportation in Dali anymore. Anyway, I really don't recommend self-driving in Haixi. You can choose a sightseeing bus, tricycle, rental, bike, or walk. In addition, there are many guesthouses and sea-view rooms in Longkan. It is more convenient to stay here. Introduction to the location: In addition to watching the sunrise, there are many beautiful places to check in at Longkan Wharf. Here is a simple introduction. Sunrise: You don't have to watch the sunrise at the viewing platform of the wharf and Longkan Ancient Ferry. In fact, you can take photos along the entire coastline. Just find a place with few people. A row of metasequoia trees: The most famous spot in Longkan Wharf. A row of metasequoia trees stands in the sea, which is very beautiful! The beautiful morning sun shines through the gaps between the trees and reflects on the sea, which is even more charming. Lonely tree of Xin: In addition to the row of metasequoia trees, there are several lonely water cypress trees along the coastline. Although the peak season is in late November and early December, they are also very beautiful at other times. Longkan Ancient Ferry: There are many local residents selling snacks and drinks on the wharf. Buy a cup of roasted milk and put it on the stone platform. Take a photo with the sun shining on the sea as the background. Isn't it super cool? : I really like the big tree and the sea-view location, but it is not in Longkan. Walk from the ancient ferry to the right →, and you will arrive at Beiluojiuyip Village. If you are interested, you can walk along the ecological corridor and have a look. Tips: 1. It is better to watch the sunrise earlier than later. It is recommended to arrive before 6:00 in summer and before 7:00 in winter. 2. There are sightseeing buses to Xindi Coffee and Caicun, S-shaped Bay, Corridor Bridge, and Xizhou. Plan your itinerary in advance and choose the right transportation according to your preferences.

🎶Travel with music, Love in Erhai lyrics Cangshan is green, Erhai is blue A thousand miles of ink painting A jade belt on the water You return when the clouds are beautiful You are Cangshan, I am Erhai We meet but part forever, tears stain my longing The mountains and seas stretch far away How far is love? Between green and blue You protect me, let the clouds linger I wait for a thousand years in red makeup Wind, flowers, snow, and moon, we cross the Butterfly Spring together The mountains and rivers play the strings of love Dali is known as the "Best Place to Confess Love in China," and Erhai adds endless charm to this romance. This song also reflects Dali's efforts to protect Erhai. Only by protecting Erhai's ecological environment can this beauty and romance continue, allowing more people to experience the beauty of love and the grandeur of nature. The Erhai Lake is just as you imagined, with clear water and blue skies. Staying by the lake is a great choice, as the houses here are unique and perfect for photos.

One thing you must do while in Dali is to catch the gorgeous sunrise at Longkan Pier (龙龛码头)! Be sure to arrive early as there will be many people waiting at the "good spots". I was a little bit late, but still managed to catch the last moments of the sun rising above the lake, it's really a memorable experience! 🌅😍 Travel tip: ask your Didi to go to 阳光便利店, one of the closest points that cars can go to near the pier. The pier is just a minute's walk away! 🫶 #dali #yunnan #erhailake #china #sunrise

Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture [Cute][Cute][Cute][Cute]We went to Dali last December. We came from the extremely cold northwest to this beautiful city that seemed to be in full bloom in spring, and had a date with the seagulls. We arrived at Longkan Pier at 6 o'clock in the morning to watch the sunrise. Everyone held sparklers 🪄 and set off small fireworks, 🎇🎇🎇, and threw bread crumbs high into the air to feed the seagulls. A large number of seagulls interacted cordially with people. At the moment when the sun rose, it seemed as if the soul was sublimated. The tranquility of that moment wanted to stay in Dali forever [Love][Love][Love] At 9 o'clock, we went to the ancient city of Dali, a romantic ancient city where you can encounter love. I couldn't help but be attracted by the beautiful clothes. I found the largest photo studio in the ancient city, bargained, and took 4 sets of photos. I was happy all day long [Chukle][Chukle][Chukle] Because we are a minority, we had dinner at Cangfeng Muslim Huidai Hand-Pulled Rice (Nanwuliqiao Branch) at night. The restaurant has a simple and elegant decoration, and the food is very good with local characteristics. At the end of the day, I felt happy both physically and mentally. We stayed in Dali for 3 days, and every day was relaxing and happy!

Hey, dear friends, long time no see! [Cute] Today, I want to share with you a treasure trove that I recently discovered – Longkan Pier. This place really caught my eye at first sight, so I can't wait to recommend it to you. I recommend this place because it has my three favorite natural elements: sunrise, seagulls and Metasequoia. 📍Detailed address: Longkan Wharf is located in Longkan Ancient Ferry, Longkan Village, Dali City, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, close to Erhai Lake. 🚉Transportation strategy: • Bus: You can take the Santa Pagoda Express to Longkan Ecological Park Station, then walk about 1.5 kilometers to Longkan Wharf. • Taxi/Self-driving [Car]: Navigate directly to Longkan Wharf. There is a parking lot near the wharf, which is very convenient. • Electric car: Rent an electric car in Dali Ancient Town or Caicun Wharf and ride to Longkan Wharf. The scenery along the way is also a great enjoyment. Tickets 🎫 Related No tickets required 🌟Highlights: [One] Sunrise: Longkan Wharf is a great place to enjoy the sunrise. Every winter, the red metasequoia trees here are at their most beautiful, and there are also thousands of Siberian seagulls nesting here. [Two] Seagulls: In winter, the red metasequoia trees at Longkan Wharf are particularly beautiful. Thousands of Siberian seagulls come here to roost, creating a beautiful picture. [Three] Metasequoia: There are several rare Metasequoia trees, known as living fossils, near Longkan Wharf. As autumn begins, the original Metasequoia forests completely shed their green and are replaced with red, becoming the brightest color in Dali's ecological corridor. 📝Note tips: 1. Keep warm: At Longkan Wharf on the edge of Erhai Lake, the wind is strong and the temperature is low in winter, so remember to keep warm and wear more clothes. 2. Sunrise: If you want to watch the sunrise, remember to get up early, because at the Longkan Wharf at sunrise, the seagulls on the lake "dance" at sunrise, which can be called a gorgeous sunrise feast. [HeartBeat] Recommended attractions nearby If you have enough time, I strongly recommend you to travel around Erhai Lake, so that you can experience Dali's "romance, romance, and beauty" more deeply. The Panxi Village, Xizhou Ancient Town, Haishe Park and other places along the way are all beautiful sights that cannot be missed. Longkan Wharf is a place that makes my heart beat, not only because of its natural beauty, but also because of its tranquility and freedom. Here, you can temporarily put aside the busy life and enjoy some quiet time of your own. So, I strongly recommend you to come here and feel the tranquility and beauty.

Don't miss Longkan Wharf when you visit Dali! The scenery of Erhai Lake in November is breathtaking and unforgettable. If you want to see the sunrise at Longkan Wharf on the west side of Erhai Lake, you have to get up early. It was quite cold when I went out at 6:30 am, and the wind was biting. However, there was a surprising breakfast stall at the intersection of Fenghuaxueyue Square. They have sugar-free roasted milk, which is warm in your hands and warms you up with just one sip. They also have fragrant steamed buns, shumai buns, and sizzling sausages, which are very tempting. What's more, the stall owner is very enthusiastic and will kindly take out a small chair for you to sit on and warm yourself by the stove. She will also guide you to see the sunrise. The cup of roasted milk has the word "Dali" on it, which is very photogenic and perfect for taking photos. You can stay by the stove until 6:50 am, then go to the shore to wait for the sunrise. From 6:50 am, the sky gradually turns red, dyeing the whole sky red, which is spectacular. The red clouds last until about 7:20 am. I thought the sun would appear soon, but it didn't show up until 7:50 am. In just a few seconds, the sun was completely out, and the whole Erhai Lake was illuminated by the sunlight, sparkling and beautiful. Just before sunrise, a flock of seagulls will fly over. They play and hover over the water, complementing the beautiful sunrise. The scene is so healing. After watching the sunrise, there are many fun attractions nearby worth visiting. For example, Xizhou Ancient Town has a well-preserved group of traditional Bai residential buildings. Walking on the stone road, you can feel the ancient atmosphere, as if you can travel through time. Don't forget to try Xizhou Baba here. It comes in two flavors, sweet and salty, with a crispy outside and tender inside. The more you chew, the more fragrant it is. In addition, Cangshan Mountain is also worth a visit. Take the cable car up the mountain and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery along the way. When you reach the top, you can overlook the whole view of Dali, which is an indescribable shock. After going down the mountain, you can try the local specialty food - Yongping Braised Chicken. The chicken is tender and flavorful, and the unique aroma is unforgettable. In short, the sunrise at Longkan Wharf in Dali is just part of this wonderful journey. There are many other places and foods worth exploring nearby. Come and experience it for yourself!

Longkang Port .. Longkang Port Longkang Port is a port located on Erhai Lake in Dali City. In this area, there is a road along the lake for us to ride bicycles, rent golf carts or walk to enjoy the atmosphere by the water. Longkang Port is the starting point of this cycling route. The road along the lake is about 25 kilometers long. In addition, Longkang Port also has many photo spots. Many couples come to take pre-wedding photos. On the other side of the road, there are shops, cafes and accommodations for us to visit. If anyone has time to come to Dali, I recommend riding a bicycle along the lake. The atmosphere is very good.

When you come to Dali, don't go to the Erhai Lake, otherwise you will have a lot of vivid photos 📸, and the atmosphere is simply perfect. In Dali in winter, you will have the dead trees that come back to life in spring as your background, and you will have the feeling of being the heroine in a Korean drama. By the way, have you ever seen a cloudless sky? I have. When an airplane ✈️ flies by, it will be swallowed up by the blue sky. You can also take pictures of ghosts! What fascinates me most is the sense of relaxation. No matter how busy you are, you can stop and relax and follow the rhythm of Dali.

Erhai Lake is a place you can visit 10,000 times🌊 Erhai Lake is so beautiful. I have been having withdrawal symptoms since I came back. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to Dali and live there for a while!! ⌚️: We went to Erhai Lake at around 3pm in the afternoon and played until nearly 7pm, so it is recommended to stay longer so that you can see a red sunset at around 6pm🌄 🚴: We rented a bicycle when we first arrived at Erhai Lake. It cost 15 yuan for an unlimited day. (Later we found out that there are also electric bikes!! It is recommended that those with good physical strength take the bicycle, and those with poor physical strength take the electric bike. But electric cars 15/h) After renting a car, you can start taking photos and going shopping~ Erhai Lake is so beautiful. I will remember that afternoon for the rest of my life. 🧭: After we got there, we went straight to the right and found Longkan Wharf. There was a great atmosphere there, with young men and women singing and many beautiful women taking pictures. Most of them were taking pictures. After walking around there for a while, we went to Caicun Pier and walked in the opposite direction. The scenery along the way was really beautiful!! ❗️❗️: Be sure to do a good job of sun protection. The sunshine in Yunnan is really too dazzling. Sunglasses + hats are must-haves and they are also a great tool for creating an atmosphere. In general: Erhai Lake does not need any strategy because every section is beautiful

[Several places you must visit on the west route around Erhai Lake] The West Line Cycling Haixi is an ecological cycling road where you can rent bicycles or public electric vehicles. When renting a public electric car, pay attention to the battery level and the location for returning the car. Is it in the car return area? 1 Heart Coffee It's a great place to watch the sunrise. The coffee shop opens at 6:30 in the morning! But I couldn't get up, so I watched the sunrise while lying in the hotel in the morning. 2Longkan Wharf Longkan Wharf is a popular location for photographing Metasequoia trees, but the Metasequoia trees have already been photographed. You can take a look at the sparkling Erhai Lake here. 3Hagiyup Village "Gate of Erhai Lake"! Floating on the blue sea, it is like a time tunnel leading to another world 4 S Bay The sunrise at S Bay is also highly recommended, extremely romantic! If time permits, it is recommended to stay a few more days and slow down to feel the tranquil beauty of Dali. Dali's winter is really beautiful. You must meet it in the most beautiful season~

Longkan Wharf is a good place to watch the sunrise. I slept until I woke up naturally and found out about a 20-year-old restaurant where I could eat rice noodles. The price was not expensive, a small bowl was 9 yuan and a large bowl was 11 yuan. After eating a bowl of rice noodles, I took a taxi to Longkan Wharf. Rent an electric bike next to Dali B&B for 45 yuan a day. Ride around and find a place to park (electric bikes are not allowed on the seaside road). Electric bike parking basically costs 5-6 yuan. Walk and see the sea. It's really beautiful on a sunny day. You can take pictures casually. The auntie selling balloons on the roadside agreed to rent her balloons for 5 yuan for three people to take photos.

Dali, Yunnan, Longkan Wharf 1. It is about 4.5 kilometers east of Dali Ancient City. It is recommended to drive an electric car. 2. Don’t park at the beach.

You can see it all in one day, including the most beautiful S-turns and so on. 7. If you want to take a S-curve photo, you have to pay the bill.

The minimum price for renting an electric car is 30 yuan, not just 30 yuan, maybe 30, maybe 40, maybe 50. But today there were traffic police at three intersections. I didn’t wear a helmet and he didn’t stop me, so I should be fine. 10. Arrive at Dali Ancient City and take bus No. 8.

Longkan Wharf is located 100 meters south of Longkan Village, Dali City, Bai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. Longkan Village is the hometown of Meng Shilong, the lord of the Dali Kingdom. From 846 to 857 AD, there was internal strife in the Nanzhao court. To prevent unforeseen circumstances, the prince Shilong was secretly hidden in a seaside fishing village called 'Li Jiazhuang', and entrusted to a pair of lonely old people in the village for nursing. In 859 AD, after Shilong succeeded to the throne, he was grateful for the kindness of the villagers in Li Jiazhuang. He issued an imperial decree that from that day on, the people of Li Jiazhuang would enjoy the grace of Emperor Shilong. Later, when he went on an expedition, he unfortunately fell ill and died. When his ashes were transported back to Dali, they landed here, hence the name Longkan Wharf, which means a shrine containing a dragon. 🍂Transportation to Longkan Wharf: 1.
