2. Canoeing around Erhai Lake.
There is a better way to visit Erhai Lake, and that is kayaking. Erhai cruise ship can only watch Erhai from a distance, and kayaking can participate in it at close range. In addition, kayaking also has the opportunity to watch the sunrise and sunset of Erhai Lake in the best position. The best places to watch the sunrise and sunset of Erhai Lake are Shawan Village and Haite Park. Xizhou Osprey Kayak Base is located in Shawan Village.

1. I didn't kayak. Can you experience it directly?
Experiencing kayaking at the base is accompanied by simplicity. Before entering the water, the coach will teach you how to use the paddle, how to paddle forward and other basic movements, as well as what kind of sitting posture you should maintain when kayaking. When you get into the water and get on the kayak, the coach will personally help you get on the boat safely.
2. What equipment do you need to bring to experience kayaking?
It's best to wear some loose clothes and pants to facilitate paddling. If you get up early to watch the sun or help wait for the sunset, you'd better prepare a warm coat. There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Dali, and the wind in Erhai Lake is a little cold. Even in summer, you need to wear long sleeves to keep warm in the morning and evening, but it may be warmer to paddle by yourself.
