She stands alone in the lake, the scene is fantastic and beautiful, it's worth coming to Dali for this encounter

Xiaoputuo is located in the eastern part of Erhai Lake in Wase Town, and is the smallest island in Erhai Lake, composed of Permian upper strata (about 250 million years ago) limestone. Because it looks like a seal, it is also called Haiyin. The pavilion on the island was built in the Ming Dynasty. Because the shape of the island and the pavilion is quite similar to Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea in Chinese mythology, it is named Xiaoputuo. Xiaoputuo is one of the eight sceneries of Erhai Lake. On a sunny day, with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in the background, a small island and pavilion stand alone in the lake, the scene is fantastic and beautiful. It's worth coming to Dali for this encounter with her beauty! In Erhai Lake, Xiaoputuo Island can be described as a 'miniature island'. Although it is small, it is very famous. It is indispensable in the introduction of Dali's picture album. Looking at Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake from Xiaoputuo, it seems to be in the silver plate held up by the white-haired old man, and the mind is particularly open. It is said that when Guanyin passed through Dali, she dropped a sea-suppressing stone seal in Erhai Lake to calm the wind and waves, protect the fishermen, and turned into this small island in the lake with a circumference of only 200 meters. In winter, many seagulls come to Erhai Lake to spend the winter, but they are not everywhere, only a few places they like, and the most is Xiaoputuo. This is a great place to watch seagulls! Each bag of feed is only 1 yuan, raise your hand with feed, and the seagulls will swarm. New year, new posture, start 2024 with a trip! It's winter vacation, take your children to Xiaoputuo to feed the seagulls! 🎫Ticket: Free 🚗Transportation: After arriving at Dali Railway Station by train, it is recommended to rent a car to go there, the car rental fee is 120~170 yuan/day
