Jinsuo Island Travel Diary, details are as follows, the material is for reference only:

After breakfast, a new Bai young man named Duan was appointed as the tour guide. He guided us to go to Jinsuo Island in Erhai Lake first. First watch the osprey fishing show, and then go to the island to visit Jinsuo Island.

The weather was gloomy that day, with raindrops still falling. When getting off the Erhai cruise ship onto the sampan, you must wear a life jacket. The cold wind blows on the lake, and the clear waves ripple on the lake surface. The tourists were a little shivering, but my wife and I, wearing jackets, were able to bear it. Tourists insisted on sitting on the five sampans, surrounding the three fishing boats, keeping their eyes open and posing for photos, preparing to take pictures of the ospreys in the water while they were fishing. These Bai fishermen use a unique language to shout to the osprey to catch fish quickly. More than a dozen ospreys on the three fishing boats kept diving into the water, but there were more disappointments. Tourists are also a little disappointed. The tourists were anxious, and suddenly someone shouted: "Caught! Caught!" I hurriedly found the target and quickly focused, fearing that I would see a series of fishing scenes such as ospreys fishing in the water, ospreys fighting among each other, fishermen netting fish, etc. It's amazing how quick I am at this age. After watching the osprey fishing, we went ashore to visit Jinsuo Island.

Jinsuo Island was formerly known as Mingliu Island and Chiwen Island. In modern times, it was renamed Jinsuo Island. Li Yuanyang of the Ming Dynasty recorded in "Jiajing Dali Mansion Chronicles·Historical Sites": "In the south of Luoquan Temple in the Erhe River, there are several large seal script crosses on Chiwen Island, which cannot be identified today." In Bai language, it is called "Chuanglao", which means an island in the sea. meaning. This island is located in the eastern part of Erhai Lake, about two kilometers long from north to south, more than 800 meters wide, and 250 meters above the water. The middle part of the island has a narrow bottom, and the north and south ends are higher and have a long pointed shape, shaped like a gourd.

During the Nanzhao period, a relic water city was built on the island as a summer palace. Volume 56 of Fan Chuo's "Manshu" records: "There is a water city of relics more than ten miles southeast, on an island in the middle of the Erhe River. It is surrounded by water on all sides, and the summer months are the coolest. Nanzhao often summers in this city." Where was the water city of relics destroyed? There is no record at that time, but Nanzhao-shaped tiles were unearthed at the site.

There is a Bai fishing village in the east of the island, with more than 200 households, mainly engaged in fishing. Fishermen believe in the Lord. There is an exquisitely built Benzhu Temple in the village, which worships Zhang Sanxing. Therefore, it is also called the Sanxing Temple. It is the main place for fishermen to gather and entertain. The island is the largest island in the Erhai Lake. The island has beautiful scenery and is one of the scenic spots in the Dali Cang'er Scenic Area. It has been visited by tourists since ancient times.

After visiting the island, watch the dance performed by Bai girls and boys in a spacious hall and taste the local "three-course tea" served to distinguished guests. In the performance, there is also the custom of Bai girls pinching their brides when they get married. The married girl must wear sunglasses and be accompanied by the groom and walk into the audience to let the audience pinch the bride (of course, this is a performance, and it is customary to pinch the bride for real. I heard from the tour guide that the bride will be pinched until she is bruised all over). After the performance, drive back to Dali.
