Scenic spot introduction:

The Eryuan West Lake Scenic Area in Dali is one of the important water sources of Erhai Lake. When the boat arrives, the water plants sway away, and the comfort of soft fingers running across the soles of your feet is self-evident. Regardless of wind, rain, frost, snow, or the change of day and night, it cannot hide its flawless beauty and uniqueness. In Eryuan West Lake, the green pool is like a fairyland on earth but is "hidden in the boudoir and unknown to the people". Waterbirds are flying in the West Lake wetland, and smoke is curling up from the banks of the West Lake. Its pure beauty is the best expression of it.
