Where is the best place to enjoy the moon during Mid-Autumn in Dali?
The best route from Caicun on the west shore of Erhai Lake to Longkan Wharf offers wide views and minimal light pollution, allowing guests to stay until 22:00 at night. Arrive by the lakeside before 19:30; at moonrise, around 19:40-20:10, seize a spot by the water.
How far in advance should you book tickets and a hotel in Dali for Mid-Autumn Festival?
It is recommended to book high-speed train tickets 7-10 days before the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, as second-class seats sell out during peak periods. Seaview Inn is recommended to book 15 days in advance. During the Mid-Autumn holiday, the average price for waterfront rooms is 40%-60% higher than usual, making last-minute bookings more widespread.
