Eryuan

Few places in Yunnan have a history as closely tied to the waters feeding Erhai Lake as Eryuan. This county seat in Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture lies north of the lake, in a basin of fields, settlements and upland ridges. Its name, commonly understood as “source of Erhai,” reflects the importance of the local watershed. Cibi Lake and the Miju River belong to the network of waters associated with Erhai’s northern catchment, while the county is also known in Yunnan for its hot springs. Eryuan forms part of the homeland of the Bai people, one of the principal communities of the Dali area.
