A great place for leisure cycling, the most beautiful Erhai Road in Dali

On the second day after staying at Shuanglang Hotel, at the suggestion of the innkeeper, I rode a bicycle to Erhai Lake.

Cycling route: Shuanglang - Wase - Xiao Putuo

One-way 17 kilometers, round trip 34 kilometers

The riding tool is the local Harrow The best way to travel by bicycle

Shuanglang is a beautiful place. Walking in the small fishing village is leisurely and comfortable, and the road from Shuanglang to Xiao Putuo is called the most beautiful Erhai Road for cycling.

I originally wanted to rent an electric car to ride around the Erhai Lake. After visiting several car rental places, I honestly said that I had never ridden an electric car. The owners of the rental shops would not rent it to me, saying that they were doing it to me. responsible for your life. When I was hesitating whether to ride around the Erhai Lake, I suddenly found *** bicycles on the roadside, and I was very happy. For me, riding a bicycle is more attractive than riding an electric scooter.

Cangshan Mountain is in the distance, and Erhai Lake is nearby. The sea and sky are the same color, and paired with the blue bicycle of Hello Travel, even my backpack is blue. I took a photo with my mobile phone and sent it to my friends. circle and instantly get likes from WeChat friends.

"Cangshan Mountain is a painting without ink for thousands of years, and Erhai Lake is a stringless harp for eternity." During this period of riding, you can have a panoramic view of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Starting from the double corridor to the south, the sun shines warmly on my body and on the sea. The breeze blows on my face. I ride quietly alone. My mood at this moment cannot be expressed in words.

The Cangshan Mountain in the distance is hazy, a few floating clouds are floating by, and a few dead trees on the roadside are soaked in the sea water. They are natural and original, with an ancient beauty.

Cycling on Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake is like riding in a poetic and beautiful picture. You can see Cangshan Mountain and listen to Erhai Lake quietly. There is no hustle and bustle of the city, only facing the sea with spring flowers blooming.

In this section of Huan'er Road, you can see inns, villas, and private villas facing the sea everywhere. The view here is widened, and you can get closer to the beautiful Erhai Lake. I am really envious of it. The owner of the inn here can not only support his family but also live poetically. This is a great blessing in life.

A lone boat on the Erhai Lake in Cangshan Mountain was quiet all around, with a ray of rays of light shining on the sea. The boatman on the boat rowed his oars leisurely, and layers of ripples rippled around the oars. , leisurely and comfortable.

A lonely tree on the seaside, standing by the Erhai Lake, should not be lonely, with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake as its companion, the breeze and white clouds as its companion, waiting for the sunrise and sunset of Erhai Lake every day.

After riding for a while, I actually saw reeds. A gust of wind blew the reeds and danced with the wind. Jianjia is green, but the beauty is nowhere to be seen on the water side. The reeds in the south are too slender compared to the reeds in our hometown. This is also the time when the reeds in my hometown are blooming. Large tracts of reeds gather together, swaying in various shapes, and the reeds are fluttering, which is really beautiful.

A private restaurant in front caught my attention. A stone path led to the restaurant. There were various flowers and green plants on both sides of the road, which was full of spring. Colorful windmills were dotted among them, which was full of childlike interest. If you didn't see the words "private restaurant", you really wouldn't have guessed that this was a place to eat.

The uphill road to Washe was difficult to ride, so I simply stopped and pushed the bike. Standing on the slope and looking at the sea view is beautiful!

After more than three hours of stop-and-go riding, I felt a little hungry. In front of me was the town of Washe, a very unique Bai town. I found the small market in the town and bought some local bait. It only costs five yuan to buy a pound and a half of oranges. The oranges are actually very sweet. I met a travel friend here, a family of three riding motorcycles around the Erhai Lake. After the little girl finished eating the local snacks, which were too spicy, I gave her a few oranges. The girl’s mother kept saying thank you.

Have a full stomach and continue riding. There are still five miles to go before the finish line, Xiao Putuo. I saw a lot of sanitation workers on this section of the road, wearing sanitation uniforms. I asked them briefly. Their main job is to clean up the garbage on the Erhai Lake. An old man, perhaps tired, set up a simple swing by the Erhai Lake and rested contentedly on the swing.

When we arrived at the destination of this ride, Xiao Putuo, the lake here was even bluer, with red-billed gulls hovering on the lake. There were many tourists on the shore, feeding the red-billed gulls with bread from time to time. A photographer by the lake was busy taking photos of two newlyweds.

Looking around, not far from the shore of the lake is Xiao Putuo. Xiao Putuo in Erhai Lake can be said to be a "pocket island". Putuo has a circumference of only more than 200 meters and is entirely made of limestone. Its shape is very similar to a round seal, so it is also called Haiyin. Legend has it that there are many dragons in the Erhai Lake, which often cause violent winds and waves. This rock is the seal used by Guanyin Bodhisattva to calm the dragons.

After resting for a short time in Xiao Putuo, we have to return the same way. Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake are surrounded by wind, flowers, snow and moon, and the landscape scenery along the way is so beautiful. On the way back, I stopped taking photos and rode much faster than when I came. The sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on my body and on the sea. A few red-billed gulls flew across the sea. Pass. I speeded up, hoping to reach the double corridor before dark.
