On the way around the lake, we saw all kinds of buildings being built by the lake. There are also various slogans calling for the protection of Erhai Lake, such as "Erhai Lake is clear and Dali is prosperous" and "Erhai Lake is our mother lake" and so on. You can always see some dead trees sprouting in shallow water. Riding on Haixi Road is very pleasant, with lakes and mountains on both sides and panoramic views of green mountains and green waters. There are professional cyclists on the road. Cyclists like us enjoy the beautiful Erhai Lake while riding. We stopped once, washed our feet in the lake, and then went on riding. There are twists and turns in Huanhai West Road, sometimes it seems to come to the end of the road, but when it comes to the front, it turns around, and the road conditions around Huanhai East Road are more complicated. I didn't expect that there would be so many ups and downs on the mountain road. Some slopes were so steep that we were very tired when riding, so we had to push our bicycles uphill. Fortunately, we rode most of the mountain roads.
The night is getting dark. I suggested finding a hotel in Caise Town to rest, but Xiaodong insisted on going to Haidong Town by bike as planned. It was completely dark at night. Fortunately, there are street lamps. After climbing several slopes under the night, I arrived in Haidong Town at 9 o'clock in the evening and successfully found a hotel and restaurant. Riding a bike is very tiring, so it is much faster and easier than walking around by bus. However, cycling is still worthwhile. Although I am very tired, my body and mind have been exercised and my experience is more profound.
A night's rest refreshed me. But Xiao Dong shouted "My ass hurts" because he rode a bike all day yesterday. The roads in Shuanglang Town are well maintained and the lake is clear. When we meet beautiful scenery, we will stop for a while. When you are tired, stop to have a rest and look at the blood peak of Cangshan on the other side of Erhai Lake. The top of Cangshan Mountain in the distance is covered with snow, like a white-haired old man standing there. Sometimes I stare at the rippling lake. The air quality dropped a lot the next day, far less than the first day. "Romance" is the slogan of Dali. We have seen the four scenes of Shangguanfeng, Xiaguanhua, Cangshan Snow and Erhai Moon.
When riding a bike at night, I asked Xiaodong to stop and look up at the sky. At that time, the sky was full of stars, and a first-quarter moon hung in the sky. I really want to sit down and enjoy this beautiful evening. Because there is still a long way to go, I must move on. The moon in Erhai Lake is very charming.
