A quiet forest through time - a poetic residence in a hidden ancient house
When I stood in front of the bluestone threshold and opened the door, I knew that this encounter was destined to be the most amazing chapter of the journey. This courtyard hotel, which was transformed from an old house in the ancient city, perfectly interprets the elegance of "hiding in the city" - the front door is close to the fireworks streets and alleys of Dali Ancient City, but the backyard is a world of its own that is not in conflict with the world.
I especially love the courtyard at dusk: the wind chimes on the eaves are swaying gently, the surface of the pool is covered with mist, the paper lanterns under the corridor are lit up one after another, and the light and shadow reflected in the water are broken into a flowing galaxy by the swimming fish. The housekeeper will thoughtfully send mosquito repellent sachets, sit on the swing under the century-old wisteria frame, taste a rose flower cake in the evening breeze, and in a trance, I can't tell which day it is.
If there is a regret, it is that three days and two nights are still too short. This place is suitable for holding a leisure book to spend the whole afternoon, just watching the mottled shadows of the trees slowly shift on the pink wall. I will come again.
