Beautiful drive up into the hills to visit the caves with many different Buddha statues the locals have donated over the decades. Well worth the visit and really enjoyed it.

Good view and new experience for me

The Pindaya cave is an important pilgrimage site for Burmese Buddhists and an attractive, unusual sights for tourists. The cave is set in a limestone hill in Central Burma not far from Inle Lake. The hill contains three caves, only one of which is open to the public. This cave that is about 150 meters long contains thousands of Buddha images in various styles and from different eras from the early Konbaung dynasty era to present day. Every small corner and nook of the cave is cramped with Buddha images up to the ceiling. Between the images are also a number of small pagodas as well as stalagmites and stalactites. During the course of several centuries thousands of Buddha images have been put inside the cave. Many statues bear the name of the person who donated it. The number of images is constantly growing since people are still adding more, by now there about 9,000. In front of the entrance is a sculpture of a giant spider and a Prince aiming his bow at it. Local legend tells that once a giant spider lived in the cave. One day the spider captured a local Princess and held her captive in the cave. According to the legend, the Prince armed with bow and arrow killed the spider, thus rescuing the Princess.The cave is open daily during daylight hours. Entrance fee is US$ 3 per person.

Pindaya Caves is an amazing place with the history. Lots of buddha statues there and also beautiful view. A must see.

Amazing place with a warm history. Cant keep track of the number of buddha statues there. Definitely worth the visit. Nicely maintained too. Dont miss it.

Per January 2020 the cave contains close to 8,900 buddhas. Lovely to visit as the cave itself is is quite sprawling. The story around the cave is a sweet fairy tale.

There’s a mountain view and we can see the whole of Pinya township from that mountain. Then, we can see the many Buddha statue in that cave.

Kyauktawgyi Pagoda in Mandalay is a peaceful and less crowded temple worth a quick visit. The highlight is a massive marble Buddha statue, which is beautifully carved and impressive in size. The atmosphere is calm, making it a nice place to take a break from the busier sites in the city. It’s not the most famous pagoda in Mandalay, but if you’re nearby, it’s worth stopping by.

In a country with a million pagodas to visit, you need to look for distinguishing marks to differentiate between them. I remember Kyauktawgyi Pagoda because it had a big Buddha statue made of white marble. The statue's nails are also painted with gold leaf. The second mark is a dark blue and ornate gong in place of the classical bell. Looking at my pictures, I also remember very long and beautiful corridors connecting various parts of the temple.

It is a nice place for photographers, children, couples, and who want to relax with natural

One of the beautiful place in Mandalay .One of the historic place in myanmar.Have many glittering building and peaceful place. There are small shop which you buy things for offer to pagoda and memorial stuff like clothes

OMG Rakhine Traditional Fresh Seafood, delicious and healthy atmosphere.

This pagoda is world recorded of the biggest books.

Must to visit in Mandalay. Historical place.

Dat Taw Gyaint Waterfall, sometimes referred to as Anisakan Waterfall, is one of the best natural sights to see in Myanmar. Having lived here for a few years, I have come back multiple times to see it, and it never disappoints. The hike itself is pretty short and simple. It's 2 km each way on a winding, concrete road. There's no way to get lost if you follow the road. However, be prepared for a pretty steep descent of 300 meters straight down, and an equally steep ascent coming back up. If you want to skip the ascent, you can hire a motorbike at the bottom to take you back up. There is also an off-road route, which branches off from the paved road and goes through the forest. You will almost certainly encounter a group of ladies at the start road offering to guide you. I have tried it and it is a fun alternative, though it is the same waterfall system. If you don't want their services, you have to be very direct with them. For those unable to make the hike, you can also see the waterfall from The View Restaurant. While the food is just okay, it's worth coming for the view. I find it looks best around sunset during the rainy season when the waterfall is at full capacity.

Incredibly beautiful waterfall on the way to Pyin Oo Lwin. The waterfall has four distinct steps each beautiful in its own way. They can be visited by trekking through a steep trail along the side of the mountain and takes 2 to 3 hours to complete. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a beautiful monastery inside a cave slightly off the trail.

These are four waterfalls in one. Local women will try to walk with you and show you a difficult hiking way. It’s the only way to experience all waterfalls. You will have to pay them a small fee. If not you can try it on your own. Or just go down to the biggest waterfall.

Beware!!! Thieves, scammers and followers. The waterfall is gorgeous and I would have gave it five stars but I didn’t ask for a guide nor for anyone to follow. Then when asked how much they wanted 20,000 money. Crazy. The average salary makes around 8,000 a whole day. The guy I went with paid 10,000 which was way to high for a three hour walk which is marked out on maps.me. So I had to give 10,000 to not feel bad but surely I don’t think they earned that. Maybe 3,000. They will just follow you and except a tip which I feel is pretty scamming. Update Another person came into Mandalay and told me she got robbed. They took her bag and luckily well they claim they found it the next day after they already searched that day for hours. They stole 50,000 from her. So definitely be aware of all this and let others know.

We almost didn´t get to do this as my girlfriend read lots of reviews and decided it would be too hard!! After some gentle persuasion.... she decided she would regret not making the effort to see it, as we were in town. We arrived on our moped and parked near the temple in the designated area. There is a family who look after the bikes for a small fee of 200 kyats. There are 4 waterfalls in total but the main path leads to the bottom one which is the most easily accessible. We started our walk down the path and 4 local women started to walk behind us.. they said nothing to us so after a couple of hundred meters, we asked them if they were walking with us to the bottom! They said they were our guides to get to all 4 waterfalls and would take us through the forest to see all 4 waterfalls... we politely declined their services as we wanted to go at our own pace directly to the main waterfall. They accepted with a smile and returned to the top with no fuss. The track is a mix of concrete and some loose gravel. All very manageable, even the steep bits! We passed a few track side locals selling food and drinks but it is advisable to bring water with you (in case they are not there), not only for the walk down but for the walk back up. We got to the bottom waterfall and it was stunning! Well worth the effort! More locals in flip flops, than tourists!! The walk back up is a 365 meter elevation gain, but if you take your time, stopping to take in the views and catch your breath it is very doable. This was one of the highlights of visiting this area and people should not be put off by reviews on other sites. From top to bottom including movement at the base of the waterfall, then back up to the top again, our moving time was 1 hour 24 minutes over a total visit time of 2 hours. My girlfriend was so happy to have made the effort and would recommend a visit to this waterfall if you are in Pyin Oo Lwin.

Very nice waterfalls at different levels and stages. Very steep walk downhill, but very pleasant views along the way.

Rent a motorcycle or take a hike to the secluded Anisakan Falls. For me I would use my own legs. A fair way from the city, the site represents a calm oasis where you can enjoy the nature and the silence, interrupted only by the sound of the water rushing down. Take care while walking the path leading to the falls, and wear adequate footwear to protect against the slippery terrain. When you reach the falls, take a moment to soak up the atmosphere. You can even take a dip in the refreshing pool underneath the cascade. Use our Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo) holiday planner to visit Anisakan Falls on your trip to Pyin Oo Lwin (Maymyo), and learn what else travelers and our writers recommend seeing nearby. The local assistances said the under of fall is more than 300'. Anyone I had really great time at there.

Flower Garden Resort , Good Vice for Relaxing & for Family Trip.

This is a famous tourist destination in Pyin Oo Lwin, the ticket price is very cheap, about 1usd, you can also rent an electric car for 3usd to visit around the area, there is food service here so you don't need to bring food from home, every season here is beautiful.

What a beautiful national garden!🥰 Very well maintained. you'll find a fossil museum with petrified trees 🫣 haha these are trees that have be minerallized for over a million years 😱 There's also a butterfly and orchid garden, an aviary, and lots of peaceful resting places for a nice lovely picnic We happend to see a wedding set up in the middle of the forested area and it's magical. We heard that the bride and groom will be sitting in the horse carriage 💐 here's wishing them a beautiful and everlasting love 💕

Nice place for chill 🌲🌱🌴

You need to prepare a good pair of shoes because you'll walk a lot. I love the absolute fresh air here. There are not only flowers, but also birds, museums, lake, swans and forests. The tickets cost 7500 kyats/ person.

A must see paradise. Beautiful well maintained gardens. A nice drive on "the road to Mandalay" Several coffee plantations near by worth checking out.

Silent and peaceful village.

Amaging natural rock cave with many statures of buddha. There are two small water falls at the entrace of the cave and another big 3 steps waterfall near the cave. You can get there on foot in 5 minutes. Please beware of that entrance and exit of the cave are the same. So if you cannot walk very far, it's better to walk inside very deep into the cave because it is a vey big cave. Walking paths are very slippery witg bare foot. Foot wears are not allowed to wear as well as carry. They must be left at the entrance.

A must visit when you're in Pyin Oo Lwin. The cave is not too long and the path is on level ground most of the way but there is a steep set of stairs about half way through. There are countless no of Buddha statues and many stupas of various sizes along the way. Some parts can be a bit slippery and wet, and it gets colder and very humid the further you go. We met many people walking past us and seemed to be in a hurry to reach to the end, but I think they're missing the point. It's worth taking your time to explore and take in the views as you're walking through, and you'll get a better experience out of it.

Very inyeresting cave with full of Buddha statues inside the cave.But you cannot find it is a untauched natural cave, because new decoration of many Buddha Image inside and many othere religious things may damage natural beauty.

An overall great place to visit. Don't be afraid to get a little wet. While there, Do check out the hidden trail that leads to a larger water fall.

Natural cave with little creek flow from inside of the cave, great view and fresh air. Many Buddha statues inside the cave.

One of the famous cave in Myanmar. Nice cave with beautiful scenes.

Not recommended. After earthquake the cave was closed partially and on the way to there, there are many military checkpoints. Not worth to go there over 30mins.

We took the train (first class ticket) from Pyin O Lwin to Hsipaw to cross the Viadukt and I would absolutely recommend it. It was a nice ride! Try some food at the stops or from the ladys who enter the train.. green mangos and fried noodles were yummy :)!

It is literally breathtaking when the train slowly passes the viaduct, which was built over a hundred years ago. The creaky sound and the height definitely bring a thrilling feeling. In order to visit this viaduct, we took a bus to Hsipaw the day before and caught the train from Hsipaw to Pyin Oo Lwin the next morning. Quite lots of work but it’s worth every penny.

A true engineering masterpiece. The Burma Railway was a great feat of modernity.

Historical bridge. It is a pity we can't get a close view or have photo because of blockage to visitors. You pay another 5$ to get past by train or it is not worth to visit.

AMAZING is an understatement for this feat of engineering. For any engineering or railway enthusiast this has to be a MUST DO on your itinerary. It is a very very very very long journey but worth the wait. Make sure you go outside the rainy season as it gets quite dangerous otherwise.

Currently, the train is stopped. However, the new road to the station and surrounding facilities have been updated and you can see beautiful scenery. The road on Google Maps cannot be reached because the update is delayed. There is a paved road, so follow the signboard.

The Goteik Viaduct is a spectacular railway bridge located in Shan State, Myanmar. The bridge was built in 1901 by the Pennsylvania Steel Company and spans the deep and narrow valley of the Goteik River, providing a vital transportation link between Mandalay and Lashio. The Goteik Viaduct is a true engineering marvel and is considered one of the world's most impressive railway bridges. The bridge stands at a height of 102 meters (335 feet) and spans a length of 689 meters (2,260 feet), making it the largest trestle in the world at the time of its construction. Today, the Goteik Viaduct remains a popular tourist attraction and a thrilling experience for visitors to Myanmar. The train journey across the bridge offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, as well as a glimpse into the daily lives of the locals who live in the area. Despite its age, the Goteik Viaduct is still in use and continues to serve as a vital transportation link between Mandalay and Lashio. The bridge is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its builders, and its beauty and historic significance make it a must-visit for anyone traveling to Myanmar.

Very good friend.

One of our best expiriences in myanmar. We had mine lay is our guide he was so kind and truely minded to make the trek as enjoyable it could get. The trek was beautiful and the food was so delicious the palang food was amazing, probably the best food we ate in myanmar... you have to try the egg salad and tomato salad. the villages we slept at were less touristic but still so many travellers have been to the villages north of hsipaw that its still a little touristic. The locals were kind and some still interested in meeting us and spend time with a foreigner. First day: walk to the village you see phankam and a smaller village nearby where you sleep. Second day: waterfall and walk to tan sam where we slept. Third day: walk from tan sam to hsipaw

I very enjoyed three days trekking trip with guide Mike. The trip was amazing and even exceeded my high expectations. Highlights were the mountain views, flora, jungle, villages and last but not least very delicious local food. I definitely recommend booking a trekking trip with Firefly. Thanks for the hospitality and great experience!

Great trek with Pyu as guide. He knew a lot about about plants. He could also answer all the questions we had. We didn't get a lot of informations before we left so it was a bit difficult to prepare. We met local people and slept in a mountain village.

We had a 2n/3d trek and enjoyed it immensely!! I think it was the best way to encounter and learn about Myanmar culture. Our guide explained a lot in perfect English, we hiked through beautiful mountains, slept in lovely villages and had amazing vegetarian food. Thanks so much, i would always do it again! ( we were 6 people and payed 65 000 each) And we felt safe and well cared for the whole time.

We took a 2D1N Tour with Ko Pee. Our guide, Phyo (pronounced Pew) was the best guide I ever had. He's studying English at Uni, so his English was really good. He told us a lot about the cultur and people living in the villages. All people we met on the trek were sooo nice, especially the owner of the homestay. It really is good staying at a local family and thus supporting a local community instead of staying at a tree house.

We took a two days tour with this agency and I'm not really sure if we can recommend it. I asked several times, to make sure, that we will get a guide fluently speaking English and eager to explain us things and introduce into the culture of mountain tribes. I've been ensured that we will get a good guide, able to make this tour interesting. Well...if you walk two days in the almost flat terrain, what makes the tour interesting is the guide and his stories. Unfortunately, that wasn't in our case. Our guide was very kind but he hardly could compose a sentence in English, so we get VERY LITTLE information about what we see, people we meet. He also didn't pay attention to the group, if everyone is following him, if everyone is ok. In case of injury, I'm not sure he would even notice. The place we stayed overnight was very nice, all the way the food we get was excellent, people were kind and welcoming. We also get a snacks from our guide. It was just fine, bit boring, I was expecting to learn a way more as I do not need guide just to follow him on the easy path...

(Translated by Google) I arrived at the end of the day in Hsipaw and went to the office to book a day trek. I wanted a tailor-made itinerary, a long day of trekking. We agreed on an itinerary but the guide needed to make a few phone calls regarding the price. A few minutes later, we agree via messenger on the tour and the price. He also explains to me that it will be a friend of his who will do the tour. The next day when I arrived at the start of the trek, my guide for the day whom I had just met took stock of the trek with me. The transfer planned at the end of the hike was no longer covered, I had to pay. We made a call to the guide with whom I had been in contact the day before and after 5 minutes of discussion to try to understand, he got angry, insulted me... So much so that the guide on site took the phone from me to hang up... I am also a guide in France, I would never allow myself to speak like this to a client. Too bad because the trek itself was really great, passing through the plantations, in the jungle, visiting several villages and even a school, excellent lunch and great guide for the day which had to be made up despite the gloomy atmosphere at the start morning. Fortunately the guide apologized afterwards. I also appreciated it. TO SUMMARY: Agree on the price and the services included, even if it means writing them down. (Original) Je suis arrivé en fin de journée sur Hsipaw et je me suis rendu a l'office pour réserver un trek d'une journée. Je voulais un itinéraire a la carte, une longue journée de trekking. On s'est mis d'accord sur un itinéraire mais le guide avait besoin de passer quelques coups de fil par rapport au prix. Quelques minutes plus tard, on tombe d'accord par messenger sur le tour et le prix. Il m'explique aussi que ce sera un ami à lui qui fera le tour. Le lendemain en arrivant au départ du trek, mon guide pour la journée que je venais de rencontrer fait le point avec moi sur le trek. Le transfert prévu en fin de rando n'était plus pris en charge, il fallait que je paye. On passe un coup de fil au guide avec qui j'avais été contact la veille et après 5 minutes de discution pour essayer de comprendre, il s'énerve, m'insulte... Si bien que le guide sur place me prend le téléphone pour raccrocher... Je suis aussi guide en France, jamais je ne me permettrait de parler ainsi a un client. Dommage car le trek en lui même était vraiment chouette, passage dans les plantations, dans la jungle, visite de plusieurs villages et même d'une école, déjeuner excellent et super guide pour la journée qui a du composer malgré l'ambiance morose du début de matinée. Heureusement le guide s'est excusé par la suite. J'ai d'ailleurs apprécié. POUR RESUMER : Mettez vous bien d'accord sur le prix et les prestations incluses quitte a les écrires.

I've been trying to find a company for a three days / 2 night trekking, but it wasn't available on my selected dates. After asking around a lot in Hsipaw, I decided to join Mr. Bikes two days / one night trekking. From all the agencies he seemed to me as the best option. The guide talked a good English and provided lots of information about Myanmar and the Shan state especially. The quality of the food was amazing! And the tree house, gorgeous!!

Very well organized 3 days trekking with very knowledgeable guide Mai. Great route with beautiful landscapes and local experience when staying in typical small villages with the local families. The food is delicious too! I can definitely recommend booking the tour with Mr Bike.

Very good experience walking in the mountains, and visiting Palaung village, the guide Saifa, was really friendly and he has a lot of knowledge so you can ask everything you want. Was absolutely safe we didn't see any danger in any moment.

Great trekking experience with our guide Jack, his English was faultless. The trek was very humid this time of year but the tree house and tubing made it all worth it. I'd recommend you only take with you a towel, swimsuit, mosquito spray, sun lotion, 2 t-shirts, sweatpants and any electronics you may need. The price was very good for everything that is provided. You even get a free t-shirt when the trek is complete with a photograph of the group on the front. 5*

Did a 2 day trekking +overnight stay with Me Bike. Amazing experience, the service and the reply time to our email/text was impeccable, the guide was young but available funny and very knowledgeable about the story, culture and flora of the area. The home stay was traditional and everyone was very welcoming. True village experience. Relaxed atmosphere, the trek was done according to our needs and adapted to what we wanted to do. The price is cheap and includes all meals (four meals and snacks andplus happy hour time) water and stay overnight, we had to pay just for a few beers and Cokes that we wanted to buy.... Choose Mr bike if you are looking for an authentic experience!

Amazing trekking experience with fantastic views and a night stay in a treehouse. The guides were very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was incredible. Mr bike supports the village school with your payment which is nice to know you are contributing to the local community. 100% book with Mr Bike he’s such a nice guy! (He can also arrange travel around Myanmar)

Went on the 3 day trek with Mr. Bike and it was one of the best hikes, I've been so far. Mr. Bike and his family are incredibly nice and truly care about their guests. Our guide told us so much about the area and the people of Shan State and with their business they support the locals. Highly recommended!

This has got to be one of the most amazing experiences that I've ever had in my life. Lashio is just an amazing place to explore and myanmar adventure outfitters is the place to go if you would like to explore places that are Off The Beaten Path. It was an amazing 5 days that we spent with this group the first two days were doing a interesting hike and a river trek which had just the perfect amount of adventure. The next three days was spent doing stand up paddle boarding, a few different treks, riding on the back of motorcycles, exploring some amazing waterfalls and staying at some villages. I think it's the part where you stay at a village and experience what it's like to live there with those different tribes really makes the trip. Really wanted thank Byron and Alex for being amazing guides on the trip and this company is so awesome so I highly recommend that you use them if you want to explore an epic area of Myanmar.

Awesome! Had an amazing time touring around on motorbikes for the past 3 days with MAO. Alex was a great guide, very knowledgeable of the area, safety conscious and a lot of fun. Would also like to say a big thank you to the whole team at MAO for being so great, from the booking process, organizing my bus ticket out of Lashio and cooking a pizza for when we returned! I will be back for sure! Highly recommended!!

It is good place to refresh. Not that high and there is an activity like riding horse and take balloon for sightseeing. Quite good place for family trip!

One of the worst attraction sites I've been to. What a waste of money. There's nothing to see here with a museum filled with information you can Google

It's good

The city was beautiful but really crowded at night. The 同质化/homogenisation of shops targeted at tourists was really serious and this place felt increasingly commercialized. You feel such a sense of deja Vu every 100 meters, and of course the loudspeakers blaring do not help.

I really enjoyed my visit here. The effort out into making this a tourist friendly location is pretty incredible. I went during golden week and it was BUSY lol very beautiful architecture all around and so much delicious food

A small ancient city in Dali. Worth to have a walk, do some souvenir shopping. There are many foods stalls, as well as cloths stalls. Coffee and tea lover can buy some stock here. Just, the toilet are not in good condition. It is open for public, but not well maintain. So, finish up your private business before come here

The street food so delicious but spicy, the people especially seller is not friendly, they always keep 1 emotion to talk :))) i dont know why. The fee for the tuktuk was high with tourist, becareful. Atmosphere at night fresh and cool, but the framework was not attract me too much…

The Dali Ancient Town is almost same as Lijiang Ancient Town. All the buildings and architectures are very unique. The walking ways are wider compared to that of Lijiang.

Dali Ancient city is an amazing place to explore. Alot of walking but i did see some rental electric scooters outside the city

It is a large city and so many things to see. Ascend to top of the gate to have a beautiful view.

Slightly disappointing. Just the same trashy overpriced souvenirs and pushy sellers. The surrounding streets are actually more beautiful and more interesting than the so-called "famous" Foreigner Street.

Until 2000 had this street been the Centers of Hippies. Today is it a nice Touristic place with more than 100 Shops and Restaurants. Extremly nice also in the evening. It’s a very nice and Peaceful Shopping area.

There is no foreigners at Foreigners Street. In fact, all the action now concentrated at Red Dragon Well and the adjacent Dragon Well Stream Lane Walking Street and over there is much picturesque. The Foreigners Street has the East and West sections. If you see the mountains, that is the west. Activities are more towards that section up too Po Ai Road.

I love this place, many little beautiful store , has bar also at night. Starbucks also. Beautiful flower and blue sky. The building is so lovely

Really loved watching locals working out in the morning. Taichi, dance etc...

Amazing street to visit and eat local food. There are alot of bars showing live music

Nice place but lacks vintageness… best to visit Lijiang old city

Do visit the upper temple area first before going towards the areas of the three pagodas. You can't enter them but they are really visually quite aesthetically pleasing. Budget about 2-3 hours.

Site very unique in Dali, the 3 Pagodas are really a testimony of the Buddhist past of the City. They are the only ancient monuments of the site, dating back to the 9th century and surviving the earthquakes of the region. The other buildings/temples have been rebuilt/ realized by the government.

The Three Pagoda is located at north west of Dali Ancient Town. After visiting ancient town, can take 3 wheels scooter from ancient town to Three Pagoda, fare is about RMB15 and journey is less than 20mins. The Three Pagoda compound is very big and spacious. Walking up from main entrance to last building in a row will took about 2 to 3 hrs. Recommend to visit Three Pagoda whenever comes to Dali.

Beneath the wide Yunnan sky, where mountains watch and waters breathe, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple rise with timeless grace. Stand before them, and you don’t just see ancient towers—you feel a quiet pulse beneath your feet, the whisper of old kings and monks folded into the wind. The air is still, yet heavy with presence. Here, feng shui is not theory but lived reality. Cangshan Mountain cradles your back; Erhai Lake opens before you like a mirror of the soul. It is no accident the Dali kings built here—this is a place chosen by earth and spirit alike. If you close your eyes and play soft Buddhist music, the kind that floats gently through Beijing temples, the centuries seem to fall away. You’re no longer a tourist. For a moment, you are royalty, seeker, and pilgrim all at once. The central pagoda—graceful, golden, eternal—has stood for over a thousand years, through earthquake, war, and change. Around it, newer towers bow slightly, and the restored temple complex behind them offers quiet cloisters and incense-filled halls. Everything speaks in silence: the still lotus ponds, the wind in the pine, the prayer wheels turned by unseen hands. And then, a kind gesture: foreign visitors are welcomed freely—no fee, only a passport. It's a small door into a great world, one that honors respect more than revenue. Come not just to see, but to listen. Come not just to photograph, but to feel. The Three Pagodas are not just stone—they are memory made visible.

Wry peaceful place to see all 3 Pagodas (40m and 70m). Very nice garden area. Large Pagoda from Tang Dinasty 9th century and the small pagodas from early 14th century.

The entrance fee of 75 RMB is a bit steep to see the 3 pagodas. There are also a number of Chinese temples to visit. It can be quite sunny so remember to wear a hat and covered clothing.

A stunning succession of multiple gorgeous temples that only starts with the three pagodas, just keep on going up the hill. Can easily spend a whole day exploring. There’s a Buddhist vegan (蔡) restaurant on the premises to keep you fed whilst doing that. Free entrance for foreigners.

Beautiful lake with mountains in the backdrop. There is an ecological corridor along the lake where you can walk/run/cycle, motorised vehicles are mostly prohibited. Good place to unwind and enjoy the scenery.

Taken on 21 Oct 2025. Temp about 15-23 degree. Cloudy and occasional rain. The scenic was amazing, very tranquil and clean. Many people rented buggies or bicycles to travel around the lake. We stayed at the west side of erhai lake, loved our room so much!

Erhai Lake. Very beautiful lake. Against the winter blue sky, the view is just like in New zealands lake. U can spend few hours here if u decide to rent bike and circle the lake. Otherwise less 1 hour is enough for photo taking and appreciating the nature. Caution : Public toilets here have NO DOORS . So do settle ur business before or after going here

Erhai Lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Yunnan Province. Erhai is shaped as an ear is a plateau lake and near to Cangshan Mountains. Other than the lake, there is an old town located on the west shore and Wase Village on the east shore.

Lovely lake. Took a full day to go around with a guide/driver - stopped at a few towns and points of interest. Some spots were rather touristy - a rather curated experience. Would have preferred to be able to explore at our own pace with independence to go off the beaten track.

Erhai Lake in Dali, Yunnan, is a stunning and expansive body of water, covering 250 square kilometers. Known for its serene beauty and fresh air, it's a perfect spot for a peaceful retreat. The lake is surrounded by picturesque landscapes, including the majestic Cangshan Mountains. Renting a twin-bicycle is a popular way to explore the scenic lakeside paths and charming villages. Don't miss trying Mixue milk tea while enjoying the ride! The combination of natural beauty and local culture makes Erhai Lake a must-visit destination for travelers seeking tranquility and adventure

The lakeshore can be explored by hiking. Highlights include Erhai Park and the Butterfly Springs on the Western bank. Islands on the lake – including Guanyin Ge, Jinsuo Island (金梭岛; 'Golden Shuttle Island'), Nanzhao Folklore Island (南诏风情岛) and Xiaoputuo Island (小普陀) – are also available for visits. The lake is an important food source for the local people (Bais), who are famous for their fishing method: their trained cormorants catch fish and return them to fishmongers. The birds are prevented from swallowing their fish by rings fixed around their neck.

This place is also good for families. If you love nature and want to relax a bit, you can come here. It takes about 30 minutes from Dali Ancient Town if you take Didi. You can buy organic items such as soap, essential oils, and perfume for souvenirs.

Specially built and decorated for tourists. The only highlight for this place is the reflecting pond. Other than that is not natural.

The place is a tourist trap. There are no butterflies in the pond, in fact we saw very few live butterflies in the park. All the exhibitions are actually shops. The park itself is nice enough, but not worth the entrance fee.

Love this place where I can try out my own easy stitching on that tied dye piece.

Good one time go..... Clear n clean water but didn't see any butterflies though

Nice place, worth a visit if it's on your way. I took a bus from dali and it was a bit to much in compare to what you get..

A bit felt time is wasted to visit here. But anyhow, it's nice for some walking if weather is good. 😂

One of the coolest places I've ever been, it's truly remarkable. If you like to hike I recommend taking the stairs on the left hand side after the first set of temples, it will lead you all the way to the top of the ridge line where there is a another temple -probably 400m of stairs.

One of the finest temples out there. Cute monkeys (not sassy) all around, amazing waterfall embedded with the temple in the most magical way possible. Wouldn't trade my visit there for almost anywhere in China, except maybe Yubeng which was on a level of it's own. The temple is part of a reserve with another temple, they are joined by a free shuttle bus, from the 2nd temple you can actually walk down back to the town area (not directly to town but close) in a beautiful path, just ask around for directions once you are at the 2nd temple. Expect a 3km or so way down in nature with some amazing views and a fleet of dragonflies to escort you.

(Translated by Google) After visiting the Shizhongshan Grottoes, we passed the temple and climbed up in one breath. It took thirty minutes to go back and forth. I was exhausted. (Original) 游完石钟山石窟后经过寺庙，一口气登上去，三十分钟一个来回，累都累死了

(Translated by Google) Magnificent temple hanging on the cliff. (Original) Magnifique temple accroché à la falaise.

(Translated by Google) There are many cute little monkeys in the parking lot 🐒 Transfer to the park’s transportation vehicle There are not many tourists but the waiting time for the bus is very long The scenery is beautiful and it doesn’t take long to climb the mountain. People who like temples can come (Original) 停車場有很多可愛的小猴子🐒 換搭園區的交通車 遊客不多但是等車時間非常長 風景很優美爬山的時間不是很久 喜歡寺廟的人可以來

(Translated by Google) A beautiful site of hanging temples and caves, far from the tourist routes. (Original) Très beau site de temples suspendus et grottes, loin des routes touristiques

(Translated by Google) There are not many stone carvings in Shibaoshan, there are mainly 8, and the others are too far apart. Baoxiang Temple is a temple built in the middle of the mountain. It climbs very high and is far from the city. You can combine the car with the Shaxi Visitor Center. Go there if you have more time. Otherwise, just visit the ancient city. (Original) 石寶山的石刻不多，主要8座，其它分佈太遠。寶相寺看半山懸空搭的廟，爬很高，距離城內遠，沙溪遊客中心可併車，時間多再去，否則逛古城就好

(Translated by Google) To see when you are in the area and by those who are interested in the somewhat complex religious history of Chinese Buddhism. Be careful for those who want to go back down on foot: the directions are not clear at all and the path quickly becomes longer when you get lost. (Original) A voir quand on est dans le secteur et par ceux qui éprouvent de l'intérêt pour l'histoire religieuse un peu complexe du bouddhisme chinisé. Attention à ceux qui souhaitent redescendre à pied: les indications ne sont pas claires du tout et le chemin est vite rallongé quand on s'égare.

(Translated by Google) The air is very good and the scenery is beautiful There is a shuttle bus available inside There are many relics left from the past Like a stone wall carved on the wall There are many temples👍 (Original) 空氣很好 風景很美 裡面有接駁車可以搭乘 那裡有許多以前留下來的遺跡 像是雕刻在壁上的石堀 還有許多廟宇👍

(Translated by Google) A slightly neglected site but one of the few that is not overwhelmed by the crowd. You will be dropped off at the entrance by your taxi and from there loaded onto a coach. It will take you to the caves with the Buddhas, reachable with a 20-minute walk in the shade. They are very beautiful. Once you reach the top, there are no clear indications. You will have to go down keeping the temple on your right and you will reach the other part of the valley, with the Lion Gate. Spectacular view. At that point you will return to the car park (go right on the asphalt road). There the bus will take you to the temple known for the presence of gibbons. The site is beautiful. There is work in progress (August 2019). Gibbons steal food bags from hands. However, avoid feeding them, so they won't follow you. Allow 4 hours for everything, even 5. (Original) Sito un po' trascurato ma uno dei pochi che non sia travolto dalla folla. Verrete lasciati all'ingresso dal vostro taxi e da lì caricati su un pullman. Vi porterà fino alle grotte con i Buddha, raggiungibili con 20 minuti di cammino all'ombra. Sono molto belle. Arrivati in cima, mancano indicazioni chiare. Dovrete scendere tenendo il tempio alla vostra destra e raggiungerete l'altra parte della valle, con il Lion Gate. Vista spettacolare. A quel punto tornerete al parcheggio (sulla strada asfaltata andate a destra). Lì il pullman vi porterà al tempio noto per la presenza dei gibboni. Il sito è bellissimo. Ci sono lavori in corso (agosto 2019). I gibboni rubano i sacchetti di cibo dalle mani. Evitate comunque di dar loro da mangiare, così non vi seguiranno. Calcolate 4 ore per tutto, anche 5.
