As Yunnan is located far inland, it is said the people here sometimes call this lake the Erhai Sea, to express their yearning for the distant ocean.据说是因为云南深居内陆，白族人民为表示对海的向往所以称这个湖位洱海。
Formed in a rift depression, Erhai Lake has been known since ancient times as the "flawless jade among mountains" due to the color and clarity of its waters.洱海属断层陷落湖泊湖水清澈见底透明度很高自古以来一直被称作群山间的无瑕美玉。
The Bai people call it the "Mother Lake".白族人称它为母亲湖。
Their ancestors knew it as the "Golden Moon".白族先民叫它金月亮。
Beside the Erhai Lake, there is a mountain peak, named Cangshan, which is covered with snow all year round.洱海的旁边有一座终年不化的雪山名为苍山。
With an average altitude of more than 3,500 meters, Cangshan Mountain forms a sharp contrast with the beautiful scenery of the Erhai Lake.平均海拔3500米以上与秀丽的洱海风光形成强烈对照。
