In winter, if you could only do one thing in Dali, what would you do? If it was me, it would have to go to the Erhai Sea to soak in the hot springs.
Eryuan, as the name suggests, is the source of the Erhai Sea. Clear and pure water flows slowly from eryuan and merges into the Erhai Sea. Eryuan not only has clear water, but also countless hot springs, and every winter, the heat is swirling, and the beauty of Wan ruoxian is fascinating.
It is known as "the town of hot springs", "hot water city", "The city of hot springs in China", and it can really be described as "five miles and one spring, ten miles and one soup"! There are so many hot springs for you to choose from.

Xiashankou Hot Spring Town, making full use of the geothermal resources of The Pass and the beautiful scenery around it, has opened a large-scale hot spring swimming pool project, and is only 50 kilometers away from the south gate of Dali Ancient City, the traffic is very convenient, and it is very suitable to soak in the hot springs in winter.
The hot spring water here is weakly alkaline, containing trace elements such as silicic acid and strontium, and the body and mind are comfortable after soaking in the hot spring.
Xiashan Pass is very close to Eryuan West Lake, and after soaking in the hot springs, you can also go to the West Lake to enjoy. The structure of the West Lake is unique, there are six villages and seven islands in the lake, which constitutes a natural painting of the village with a lake and a village in the lake.

West Lake is also home to the world's endangered and precious wild waterbird, the Purple Water Chicken, which has a large number of purple water chickens and is beautiful when it takes off.
Dali geothermal country
Dali geothermal country is located in the northern suburbs of Eryuan County Jiuqitai, Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiuqitai is surrounded by the waters of Maobi Lake, because there are nine caves on the island gushing out hot springs, steam surrounded by Rutai, so the name jiuqitai, "nine gas steam" is one of the eight scenery of Eryuan.
The geothermal country covers an area of nearly 1,000 acres, which can accommodate thousands of people to soak in hot springs at the same time, and is known as the largest open-air hot spring in Asia. Entering the Dali geothermal country, the stream runs through the garden, the reeds are everywhere, and the hot springs are soaked here, suspected of being in the countryside.
After soaking in the hot springs, you can enjoy the nearby Maobi Lake, which is a highland freshwater lake, named after the rare plant Maobihua growing in the lake.
The flowers bloom only in the summer, and the flowers are white and flawless, and the fragrance is overflowing. Although you can't see the flowers in winter, you can see the wonders of "three-step hot spring and four-step soup, and the vapor mist is like a fairy town".
Cow Street Hot Spring Town
As soon as you walk into Niujie Township, you will see that the whole street is steaming, which is the water mist coming out of the hot spring river. I haven't started soaking in the hot springs yet, and the winter cold has gone for the most part. Villagers often go to the hot spring to fetch water, and it is very convenient to take a bath and wash clothes.
The hot spring in Eryuan Niujie Township is a sulfur spring, and after soaking, the dry skin in winter will become lubricated and translucent.
The closest attraction to Niujie Hot Spring Town is Haixi Sea, which faces mountains on three sides, with bamboo trees in the mountains, dams on one side, and "Wonders of Haiying Mountain" in the lake, which emits a unique light in both winter and summer.
In Haixihai, a paragliding project has also been developed, overlooking the turquoise lake and soaring water birds in the sky, which is a different kind of experience, which is very exciting.
In addition to soaking in the hot springs and seeing the beautiful scenery, it is natural to eat local delicacies. Eryuan has many delicacies, but the most important thing to miss is the unique cuisine made with hot springs.
One is the "air sulphur egg" boiled in the hot spring, which is eaten with brown sugar, which is a must in the hot spring.
There is also the "hot spring stew chicken", which is both delicious and nourishing. Addictive as soon as you eat it.
