The 'Source of Erhai' has with Cibi Lake, West Lake and Fengyu a number of nice place, plus plenty of hotsprings.
Xihu: A pretty lake area south of Eryuan.
Eryuan county is almost entirely Bai. Xihu is an ancient wetland area, the Fengyu valley retains lots of Bai customs and there are plenty of hotsprings around.
