Erhai Ecological Corridor: plan a low-impact visit, not a private rental or roadside stop
The corridor is managed as protected public space; use designated access and verify current local arrangements.
Dali City’s official notice covers the 46-kilometre western Erhai Ecological Corridor section from Yangnanxi to Taoyuan in Xizhou. It says enforcement targets, among other things, unauthorised bicycle and e-bike rental, camping, fishing and vehicles entering the corridor at will; it specifically identifies the Yangnanxi, Caicun and Longkan entrances in its traffic-order section. Use the corridor as an outdoor route with its protection rules in mind, then ask locally or check current official notices for the day’s permitted access and services.
A clear next step
- Use the named entrances—阳南溪, 才村 or 龙龛—as starting points to confirm locally, rather than navigating to an arbitrary lakeside pin.
- Do not assume a private bike or e-bike rental, roadside parking, camping or fishing is permitted inside the corridor.
- Check the current local notice or on-site signage for the day’s access, route and service arrangements before beginning.
