Hey / What's up
Dali Old Town (ๅคง็ๅคๅ) is charming but Erhai Lake is the soul of the region โ rent a bicycle and ride the 120 km lakeside path over 1โ2 days, stopping at Bai fishing villages. The Three Pagodas (ไธๅก) at the foot of the Cangshan Mountains are best photographed at sunrise when they're reflected in the still pool in front.
