Dali Qihai Erju B&B (Swan Branch)

After looking at many restaurants, I think this one is very cost-effective, better than I expected. It is comfortable to walk out of the balcony. It is also convenient to eat and drink around. The proprietress Xiao Zhao is very enthusiastic and introduced us to food and entertainment. If I go to Erhai Lake next time, I must stay at her restaurant again.

The homestay is a small courtyard. The proprietress and her family live in the building next to it. There are three of us living there. If you book this room, everyone can sleep in a big bed. The room has a balcony. When you open the door, you can see the sea view of S Bay. You only need to go downstairs and walk out to watch the sunrise. There are many people outside during the day, and the location of the homestay is quiet in the bustling city. If you want to take a taxi to the ancient city, you only need to walk five minutes to the convenience store pick-up point outside. The location is easy to find and it is very convenient overall. There are also convenience stores and snack bars nearby. The room is very clean and the auntie comes to clean every day. The proprietress, Sister Zhao, is very nice. The plane was delayed and it was midnight when we arrived at the homestay. Sister Zhao was still waiting for us to check in. The driver who arranged for us to pick us up was also very good. Sister Zhao kindly recommended places for us to eat, drink and have fun, and also recommended a more convenient carpool for the next stop to Lijiang. The homestay provides bicycles, which can be cycled along S Bay. The soundproofing function of the room is not very good, but the guests are very conscious and their sleep is not affected at all.

The B&B is newly opened, with newer facilities and a good view from the room. It is right next to the S Bay Ecological Corridor. It is very pleasant to sit on the terrace, drink tea, chat, bask in the sun, watch the sea and see the seagulls. The owner, Xiao Zhao, is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to introduce the surrounding environment, bicycle rental prices and restaurants. The only drawback is that the two large glass walls of Room 203 are not well insulated and soundproofed. It is very cold when sleeping at night without turning on the air conditioner. The washstand and coat rack are very crowded and narrow. The terrace is very spacious, but there is no place to hang clothes to dry. We stayed for 3 consecutive nights and got free airport transfer. The driver came to the B&B to pick us up on time as scheduled and took the initiative to help with the luggage. It was very good!
