Shuanglang, a fishing village with a history of over one thousand years, is located in north Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan. For over a thousand years, the local Bai Minority people here made their living fishing in the lake. However, the past 10 years have brought a change to their lives. The small tranquil village is now popular with visitors looking to unwind and enjoy a slower tempo.

Facing the Erhai Lake and connecting with the Jizu Mountain, Shuanglang always offers people its most charming sceneries. Wondering through the cobblestone-paved streets filled with old dwellings of the Bai people, tourists can not only be treated with pristine sceneries but also a sense of peace. People here live a simple but happy life, fishing in the Erhai Lake all year round. In addition to those well-preserved folk houses, some hotels or inns that are characterized by different themes are also the most attractive part of the village. Enjoying the scenery of the Erhai Lake in the scenery room of a small hotel here may make a big difference to guests and help them to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
