Dali | Winter Cherry Blossoms and the Sea, Romance Hidden in the Secret Garden

Dear friends, I recently took a trip to Dali and was truly healed by its beautiful scenery! This time, I was mainly attracted by the winter cherry blossoms. Along the way, I also witnessed the super beautiful sunrise on the west side of Erhai Lake and discovered an amazing homestay. I can't wait to share it with you all! I. Guide to Watching the Sunrise on the West Side of Erhai Lake The sunrise on the west side of Erhai Lake is a visual feast that you mustn't miss. The Dali Muxi Secret Garden Sea View Homestay where I stayed was definitely the best place to watch the sunrise! In the early morning, I was gently awakened by the first ray of sunlight. When I opened the curtains, the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake slowly unfolded like a picture scroll before my eyes. As the sun gradually peeked out from behind the Cangshan Mountain, its golden light shone on the surface of the lake, making it glisten. The whole world was dyed in warm colors. At this time, I went to the viewing platform of the homestay, made a cup of hot tea, and quietly watched the sky change from orange-red to bright blue. Feeling the gentle caress of the morning breeze, all my worries were gone in an instant. II. The Most Comprehensive Guide to the Winter Cherry Blossom Route in Wuliang Mountain Although it's a bit of a long journey from the downtown area of Dali to Wuliang Mountain, the scenery along the way is definitely worth it! We drove there by ourselves, following the winding mountain roads, as if we had entered a paradise isolated from the outside world. When we arrived at Wuliang Mountain, the winter cherry blossoms were blooming all over the mountains and fields, like pink clouds falling among the mountains. When I walked into the Cherry Blossom Valley, it felt like I was in a fairy tale world. As I strolled along the paths, the petals fluttered down with the wind and landed on my shoulders. It was so romantic. Looking down from the viewing platform, the layers of pink flower sea and the green tea trees set off each other, making it so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off it. From morning to night, the cherry blossoms had different charms at different times. In the early morning, the cherry blossoms with dewdrops were crystal clear; at noon when the sun was shining brightly, the flowers were even more gorgeous; in the evening, under the afterglow of the setting sun, the cherry blossom forest was covered with a gentle filter. III. Dali Muxi Secret Garden Sea View Homestay This homestay was really a pleasant surprise during my trip! It faces the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake directly and has an excellent geographical location. Every corner of the homestay shows the owner's meticulous care. As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw all kinds of flowers blooming competitively in the carefully designed garden, filling the air with a fragrant aroma. The decoration design of the rooms is also unique. The wooden furniture is paired with plain bedding, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow you to have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of the Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake right in your room. At night, you can fall asleep with the sound of the waves, and in the morning, you will be awakened by the sunlight and the singing of birds. Such a cozy life makes you want to stay here and never leave. During my days in Dali, I enjoyed the winter cherry blossoms, watched the sunrise on the west side of Erhai Lake, and stayed at the Dali Muxi Secret Garden Sea View Homestay. I was completely relaxed. Dear friends, you must come to Dali to experience this beauty. I believe you will fall in love with it too!
