Erhai Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes in China, and it is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province. The people of Dali consider Erhai Lake to be their “mother lake”. Erhai Lake is important to their lives.
Erhai Lake is in the shape of an ear, hence its name Erhai (‘Ear Sea’). This plateau lake is like a deep blue gem set in the green land. When the breeze blows, its surface is billowed into wavelets, sparkling in the sunlight.
