Erhai Lake is a pearl of Dali in Yunnan Province, and is known as the natural beauty of "Cangshan Mountain does not ink a thousand autumn paintings, and Erhai Lake has no strings and ten thousand guqins". There are 21 villages and towns around Erhai Lake, each with its own characteristics, beautiful scenery and strong ethnic customs. You might think that such a place must be a good place to visit and worth visiting. But, you know what?Erhai Lake is actually a place full of traps and troubles that can turn your trip into a nightmare. It was only through my own experience that I knew the truth about Erhai. Below, I will expose several major shortcomings of Erhai Lake, so that you can understand why you should not travel to Erhai Lake.
First of all, the environmental pollution of Erhai Lake is serious, the water quality has deteriorated, and the scenery is no longer there. Erhai Lake is a plateau lake, which is supposed to be crystal clear and rippling blue waters. However, due to the development of surrounding industry, agriculture and tourism, the water quality of Erhai Lake has been seriously polluted, resulting in eutrophication of the water body, excessive growth of aquatic plants, a decrease in the oxygen content of the water, a turbidity in the water, and a deterioration of water quality. The water quality of Erhai Lake has been reduced from the national first-class water quality to the national fourth-class water quality, and even some places have reached the national fifth-class water quality, that is to say, the water of Erhai Lake can no longer be used for irrigation, breeding, swimming, drinking, and only sewage discharge. Do you still dare to swim in Erhai Lake?Do you still want to go to Erhai Lake to enjoy the scenery?Would you still like to go to Erhai Lake to breathe fresh air?I guess your answer must be no. The water quality problem of Erhai Lake has attracted the attention of the state, and a lot of money and manpower have been invested in the treatment for many years, but the effect is not obvious, and the water quality of Erhai Lake has still not been fundamentally improved. Erhai Lake has lost its original charm and has become a sewage pond, which makes people feel cold.
Secondly, the tourism resources of Erhai Lake are overdeveloped, the commercial atmosphere is strong, and the customs do not exist. The 21 villages and towns around Erhai Lake were originally places full of ethnic characteristics and history and culture, with unique architectural styles, rich folk activities, and simple folk customs. However, due to the development of tourism, these villages and towns have been transformed into tourist attractions, losing their original appearance and becoming commercial places, full of vendors selling local products, scenic spots everywhere that charge entrance fees, shouting tour guides everywhere, crowded tourists everywhere, garbage and sewage everywhere. Can you still feel the national flavor in these places?Can you still experience the culture of history in these places?Can you still find a quiet corner in these places?I guess your answer must be no. The villages and towns around Erhai Lake have been eroded by tourism, and they have become tasteless places, which is disappointing.
Finally, the quality of tourism services in Erhai is low, inflated, and fraud continues. Erhai Lake is a tourist hotspot, millions of tourists pour in every year, however, the tourism service of Erhai Lake has not kept up, the tourism facilities are backward, the tourism management is chaotic, the tourism service attitude is bad, the tourism is unreasonable, and the tourism fraud is frequent. You may encounter a situation where you buy a ticket, but find that there are many paid items in the scenic area, and you want to go and see it, but you are told to buy another ticket, and if you don't buy it, you can't go in;You rent a bike, but you find that the car is very worn, the brakes are not working, the tires are flat, you want to change it, but you are told that there is no car, you don't rent it, you can't get it back;You bought some souvenirs, but found that the quality is very poor, ** very high, you want to return it, but you are told not to return it, you don't buy it, you will be scolded and beaten;You live in an inn, but find that the room is very dirty, the facilities are very old, the service is very poor, you want to change one, but you are told that there is no room, you don't stay, you can't get a refund. Can you still enjoy the fun of tourism in Erhai Lake?Can you still be respected and fair in Erhai?Can you still have a pleasant trip in Erhai Lake?I guess your answer must be no. Erhai's tourism services have lost their credibility and have become black-hearted places, which makes people angry.
To sum up, Erhai Lake is a place not worth visiting, its environmental pollution, its resource development, and its service quality are all unacceptable, disappointing, and regretful. I have been to Erhai Lake before, I was attracted by Erhai Lake, I used to have expectations for Erhai Lake, but in the end, I found that Erhai Lake is just a beautiful lie, a broken dream, and a bottomless pit. I don't want to go to Erhai again, I don't want you to go to Erhai, I don't want you to be like me, wasting time, money, feelings, and life. I don't want you to go to Erhai Lake, I want you to go to better places, to those real beauties, to those real customs, to those real services, to those real tourism. I don't want you to go to Erhai, I want you to go to better places, to places that can make you happy, satisfying, moving, and growing. I don't want you to go to Erhai, I want you to go to better places, to those places that are worth your visit.
