“The scenery of Dali is in Cangshan and Erhai Lake, and the scenery of Cangshan and Erhai Lake is in Shuanglang.” Shuanglang is famous for its invincible lake view. Sunlight is refracted through the clouds on the lake, forming the “Erhai God Light”, which is accompanied by the beautiful Cangshan Mountain as the background. It is the best lens that photographers want to capture.

The main attractions of Shuanglang Town in Dali are two islands: Yuji Island and Nanzhao Fengqing Island. On the island, it is very pleasant to see the lake and the fishermen rowing and fishing. There are many buildings with different styles in the town of Shuanglang, which is a great attraction. If you don’t stay, you can also appreciate them outside.

The Shuanglang town is located on the northeast coast of Erhai Lake, close to the rippling Erhai Lake, from where you can overlook Cangshan Mountain and it is gathering the essence of Cangshan and Erhai Lake scenery in one place. The main scenic spots in the town, Yuji Island and Nanzhao Fengqing Island, are good places to watch the sunset. It is very pleasant to raft on the lake in the evening. To play Shuanglang, it is recommended to stay overnight. In the evening, go boating on the lake and see the light and shadow, which will be very enjoyable.

The Shuanglang town, a term full of fantasy for countless people, is a fishing village where many people choose to avoid the world, a place that many people call the Peach Garden lie paradise. In this place where it is called the first town of the Cangshan and Erhai Lake Scenery, you can see some laws of Chinese-style development of tourist towns. It is simple and complex, elegant and secular, quiet and restless. This is like a desire field, everyone is very proud, and everyone is very frustrated. The best experience in Shuanglang is to look at those inns near the sea. It is definitely the most beautiful scenery. Its biggest feature is quietness. The blue sky and white clouds of Shuanglang are very pure and beautiful, with nice scenery, pleasant climate, fresh air and suitable temperature. It is a good place for leisure and vacation.

The weather pattern of Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture, aka Dali, is defined by its latitudinal and topographical features. Firstly, because Dali lies on a low latitude in the northern hemisphere (it lies at a latitude of 25 degrees N, circa, only 1.5 degrees above the Tropic of Cancer at 23.5 degrees N) it tends to have a warm, subtropical monsoon climate, but because it is situated on a high plateau, it tends to be cooler than more low-lying regions, such as neighboring Kunming, about 315 km (195 mi) to the east. Therefore Dali has a relatively temperate climate year round, with no extremes in summer or in winter.

In fact, as is true of most of Yunnan Province except for mountainous terrain, the daily temperature variation tends to be greater than the seasonal variation in temperature, which calls for layered clothing, or jackets and sweaters early in the morning and again during the evening. The climate of Dali is generally characterized as a subtropical highland monsoon climate, with lots of sunshine and fresh air. In fact, quite a lot of both – and especially the latter – given that the city is located on a flat plateau between a mountain range (the Cangshan Mountains to the west) and a large lake (Lake Erhai to the east), creating a natural wind tunnel, Dali gets a great deal of wind, year round. In fact, like the city of Chicago in the U.S., which is also located nearby a large lake (Lake Michigan) and therefore gets a lot of wind year round, Dali is nicknamed “Windy City”.

The best time to visit Dali is from March to June when springtime is in full swing and all of nature seems to be in the process of rebirth, as it were.
