Tickets and booking
Admission is listed at 380 yuan per person. The data pack names no booking platform, no concession tiers, and no split between on-site and advance purchase, so the reliable move is to treat 380 yuan as the baseline rate and confirm the rest by phone: the park’s hotline is 400-066-4778. Call before setting out to verify current pricing, whether tickets must be bought ahead, and any discount eligibility — none of that is specified in the pack.
Entrance and routes
The park sits at Erhai Lake in Dali City, Yunnan, with the listed address placing it about 50 metres east of Jizushan Road in the Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture. The pack describes one practical approach: come in on the Three Pagodas special line bus, alight at the National Fitness Center stop, and walk the short remaining distance. No secondary gates, timed entry, or separate zone tickets are mentioned — the 380 yuan admission is the entire entry cost as listed.
Photo spots
The pack names no specific viewpoints, platforms, or boardwalks, so build your shot list around what the park is: a wetland park on Erhai Lake, with the lake-and-wetland scenery as the subject — the ‘Erhai Moon’ of the name points at the lake itself. Because the park is open around the clock, you can shoot in whatever light you prefer; the pack carries no data on light conditions or crowd-free windows, so timing is your own call. A 1-3 hour visit leaves room for unhurried photography.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours are listed as all day, Monday through Sunday, year-round — but the source explicitly flags these as reference only, with on-the-day conditions taking precedence. If your plan depends on very early or late access, confirm first on 400-066-4778. The pack contains no visitor-volume or crowd data, so there is no evidence-based quiet window to recommend; the practical point is flexibility, since a 1-3 hour visit can slot almost anywhere into a Dali day.
Walking and effort
The pack lists no trail lengths, surface types, or elevation figures, so physical effort cannot be quantified from the data. What it does give is a suggested duration of 1-3 hours, which frames this as a short, self-paced outing rather than a hike — plan footwear and water for an easy walk, not a trek. Firm distances, accessibility details, or suitability for strollers and wheelchairs are not in the pack; ask the park directly on 400-066-4778 if those matter for your group.
Getting there
Public bus is the only route the pack specifies: take the Three Pagodas special line to the National Fitness Center stop and walk from there to the park. No bus fare is given, no alternative lines are listed, and there is no parking or taxi information — so if the special line does not start near you, verify connections on a current Dali transit map or call 400-066-4778 rather than guessing.
Cost breakdown
One cost figure exists in the pack: admission at 380 yuan per person. Nothing is listed for the bus ride, parking, food, or equipment, so a total trip cost cannot be computed from the data — the ticket is the only quantified line item. For a 1-3 hour visit, that 380 yuan entry fee dominates the budget, making it the number to weigh against the rest of your Dali spending.
