Luoquan Peninsula & Tianjing Pavilion
罗荃半岛·天镜阁
A peninsula on Erhai's eastern shore reaching into the lake, with Tianjing Pavilion standing at its edge and panoramic views across the water of Cang Mountain and Dali Old Town.
Luoquan Peninsula lies in Haidong Town on Erhai's eastern shore. In the past it was home to Luoquan Temple, and today it holds Tianjing Pavilion and Luoquan Pagoda. Tianjing Pavilion is a three-storey tower that extends over the water. From the top you can look across at the nineteen peaks of Cang Mountain on the western shore and at Dali Old Town. The best view is at dusk, when the sun sets behind Cang Mountain. Entry costs about 10-odd yuan. It can be reached by car or electric bike along the eastern Erhai loop road. It is often combined with Xiaoputuo, Shuanglang and Lixiangbang for a day trip on the eastern route. It is about 30 minutes from Xiaguan.
