A Must-Visit Once in Your Lifetime! Unlock a Paradise-Like Life in Dali

I've visited Dali more than ten times, and if you ask me about the most beautiful season, autumn and winter definitely take the crown. During autumn and winter in Dali, the red sequoias blaze like fire, seagulls dance gracefully, colorful forests dazzle, and ginkgo trees shimmer with golden hues—every frame resembles a canvas meticulously painted by nature. Erhai Lake appears like a deep blue sapphire, reflecting the sky to form a natural "sky mirror." When clouds drift through the forests, it feels like stepping into a dreamy oil painting world 🖼. 🌊How could you miss the autumn and winter rendezvous with red sequoias and seagulls? For this trip to Dali, I've carefully compiled the latest guide for viewing red sequoias and seagulls. If you're planning to visit Dali soon, save this right away! ————————————————————— 💐Secret spots for viewing red sequoias: After spending several days by Erhai Lake, besides the popular Longkan Pier, I discovered several hidden gems where you can easily avoid crowds and enjoy the scenery in peace~ ❶Chongyi Village ❷500 meters ahead from Longkan Pier toward Cai Village ❸Xiaoyizhuang ❹Shuangyuan Stream ❺Erhai Beach ❻Xiabopeng ❼300 meters walk from Panxi Village S-curve toward the Corridor Bridge ❽Corridor Bridge 🔸All these locations are distributed along the west side of the lake. Take a leisurely bike ride along the West Erhai Ecological Corridor to take in all these beautiful views. 💐Seagull gathering spots: ❶Xingsheng Bridge ❷Xiaoputo ❸Shuanglang ❹Sansheng Island ❺Longkan Pier ❻Cai Village ❼Majiuyi Village ❽Panxi Village S-curve 🔸Among these, location 1 is closest to Dali Station; 2 and 3 are on the east side of the lake; 4-8 are all along the West Erhai Ecological Corridor. I particularly love 📍Majiuyi Village, where you're right next to the water with no railings or steps restricting you. Seagulls soar freely, and every casual photo turns out stunning! In the evening, as the setting sun casts its glow, the sunset is breathtakingly beautiful!
