Dali Prefecture Homestays

It was a joy to wake up to the gorgeous view of ErHai offered by the bay window in our room, plus breakfast delivered to the door, each day. The room was clean, the hot water and water pressure were steady, and the bed was comfortable. Also really enjoyed using the tub by the window. Above all else, service was impeccable. The front desk was immensely helpful in providing advice for our plans on the day to day and very kindly helped to arrange for transport to our next stop at Lijiang. The only downsides are that it's a distance away from some of the popular tourist sites, but didi worked just fine for where we wanted to go. I believe the hotel will also help to book you a car if you need one. In all, my husband and I were really glad we chose to stay here and would be more than happy to return.

We really enjoyed our first stay in Shaxi on my anniversary visit to Yunnan Province. Thanks to the fantastic service provided by Miss Yang and her incredible staff, we really enjoyed our two day stay. Originally we were only planning to stay one night but after a long trip to the nearby grottos, asked to extend one night which Miss Yang was kind enough to accommodate. This guest house/hotel is brand new and has many modern amenities including a hot water pot, refrigerator, free snacks and drinks and more. Everything was brand new and well taken care of and the staff was extremely helpful navigating us from parking to the hotel. The location is also very central to much of what Shaxi has to offer. The breakfast noodles were a real treat! We will stay here again next year.

The place is absolutely nice and all of us travelled as friends love this place so much. We went up to rooftop and watched the sunrise as early as 6.30am. The air is fresh and I can even heard the birds singing which is very rare in the city. The rooms are clean and spacious. We booked two single beds in the room but we feel the beds are like queen size bed. (Forget to take room photos). The hotel provide laundry self service as well. The walking distance to Dali Ancient town took only less than 5 mins is another plus point for this hotel. Overall, I would like 9/10 for this hotel and highly recommend for those who are still hesitating about this property.

Sunlight is nature's most beautiful gift to human beings When we bask in the sun, we can make all the "evil" in the world nowhere to hide. Let all the beauty and simplicity ripple on people's faces again, and goodness can flow outward like a clear spring in the heart. Therefore, space designers with "light" in their hearts have an almost paranoid "demon" for sunlight, allowing them to design design works with different "understandings" and "human worthiness" of light. In my opinion, Dali's "Wuji Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is such a "clean" and "innocent" space design work with "light" from the bottom of the heart! The beginning "Wuer Yinshe Mid-Mountain B&B" is located in Wenbi Village, Haidong Town, Dali, close to Erhai Lake, overlooking Cangshan Mountain, and the unique geographical environment makes people who have lived here for generations have no worries about food and clothing, but it is gradually distancing itself from the huge background of the changes of the times. A leisurely and soothing pace of life is ideal, but it is undeniable that it still belongs to the context of "agrarian civilization", and today, it has been abandoned by the younger generation who pursue the "fast-paced" and "Gatsby-style" psychology of modern life and the "Gatsby-style" psychology of getting rich overnight, and the "writing village" has become a "hollowed-out" settlement, which cannot escape the doom of "forgotten". The designer has been to Dali many years ago and also visited Wenbi Village, full of longing and love for Cangshan Erhai Lake, not forgetting the sunshine here, the depth of Erhai Lake and the quiet way of life, in a chance to save down, the owner and designer found here, rent the villagers' houses, and incorporate the local villagers into the logistics service system of the B&B hotel! The logic of the underlying life of "Wenbi Village" has been changed! When the designer was commissioned by the design of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain B&B", the attachment to Cangshan Erhai Lake and sunshine buried in his heart many years ago was awakened, and he created a B&B space architecture integrating time, memory and sunshine---- Wuji Hermitage Mid-Mountain Seaview B&B. 01 Survey and combing This is a space that gathers oriental vacation homestays and has the characteristics of a Bai fishing village, which is very experiential! After carefully surveying the topography and landform where the B&B is located, the designer found that this is a typical sloping house in the middle of the mountainside, with a bird's-eye view of Erhai Lake from the lower terrain and a deep halfway up the mountain. As a result, the designer came up with an ambitious idea: to build a new building with the characteristics of local Bai architecture in the open space near Erhai Lake, which will be integrated with the old buildings on the high ground to form an architectural settlement, with a height difference of nearly 10 meters, connected by a pedestrian staircase, forming an interesting building with sloping steps. 02 How to stay In the design process of "Wuji Retreat Mid-Levels Homestay", the designer thought most about why and how people "lived" during the vacation. ... 03 Minutes of light and shadow Here, the designer grasps the sense of proportion of "defamiliarization". This "strangeness" is epitomized in the treatment of sunlight. ... This is the charm of "Wuji Hermitage Mid-Levels"!

I really like it here, it's beautiful and comfortable. The view from the second floor is very good. Standing on the balcony, you can still hear the singing coming from the Yujin Bridge. It's about a 3-minute walk from the ancient town. The breakfast and afternoon tea provided are home-cooked and delicious. For breakfast, you can drink coffee handmade by the staff. After drinking coffee made by machines in other accommodations for several days, it was a surprise!
