Hotels in Upper Section of the Erhai Lake Ecological Corridor, Dali

1. The room's location was fantastic, with a balcony that offered direct, stunning views of Erhai Lake – perfect for photos! They even gave us a free room upgrade when we arrived. The complimentary travel photography session was conveniently located on the fourth floor, and the photographer was very dedicated and responsible. 2. **Service:** The staff had an excellent attitude. When we checked out, they gave us rose petal cakes (Xianhuabing) and yogurt as a parting gift. The rose cakes were absolutely delicious! The staff also helped us with our luggage. One evening, I suddenly felt unwell, and the staff were very responsible, helping me call a taxi and even bringing me some needed sweet soup. 3. The pick-up service was also very punctual, and the driver was very kind. 4. **Couples' Afternoon Tea:** The delivery was quick, and enjoying it on the balcony with the view was very comfortable. 5. **Breakfast:** It was nutritious and served for a long time. The delivery lady was very thoughtful, always offering more if needed. The 24-hour light meal service was very convenient, and the food tasted great! 👍 6. **Facilities:** The shower system could use a slight improvement; water tends to leak out when showering. However, the bathtub was very large and filled up quickly.

The room has an excellent location; just downstairs, you'll find an ecological promenade. The room we booked featured floor-to-ceiling windows offering direct views of Erhai Lake, making access to the lake incredibly convenient. However, since it's located in a village, transportation to the ancient town or Cangshan Mountain for sightseeing isn't very convenient, and taxis are difficult to hail. I recommend renting the guesthouse's electric scooter; it's both affordable and practical. The guesthouse owner is fantastic! You can take a taxi to the village entrance, and the owner will come to pick you up on an electric scooter. On the day we left, there was a heavy downpour, and the owner patiently helped us find a car to get back to the ancient town. Highly recommended!

The hotel is located right next to the ecological corridor, offering stunning views of Erhai Lake from the room. It's super convenient for exploring the lake during the day, and nice and quiet at night. We stayed for two nights with my family, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The cleanliness and facilities were all good. They even provided complimentary breakfast, afternoon tea, a fruit platter, and sweet soup. To top it off, we received a small gift upon check-out – overall, a fantastic stay! The only minor improvement needed is the design of the sink in the room; water tends to splash out onto the counter, whether the faucet is on full or low.

Summary: A very satisfying trip. This hotel is located near the Erhai Lake Greenway, offering beautiful scenery and a peaceful environment with fewer tourists. Parking is convenient, about 200 meters away. The greenway is perfect for cycling; you can reach the 'Most Beautiful Kilometer of Erhai' in about ten kilometers. Xizhou Ancient Town is also just a 2-kilometer bike ride away. Due to certain circumstances during our stay, the owner upgraded us to a courtyard room on the first floor of Building B. The room's amenities were excellent, and we even got to see the sunrise in the morning. Finally, the breakfast and afternoon tea, although not extensive in variety, were exquisite. Highly recommended.

Service: The owners and their family were absolutely amazing! Due to unforeseen circumstances, we could only have soup, and they gave us extra bottles of water and even bought two large jugs of water for us. We were also given our turn to use all their cooking utensils. They provided transportation to and from the hotel by electric scooter, and even picked us up when we needed to go to the market. They also shared their delicious meals with us. We felt completely at home. Room: Clean, spacious, and bright, with tasteful decor; opening the curtains revealed breathtaking views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake! Location: Right on the shore of Erhai Lake, with restaurants and cafes downstairs, a supermarket nearby, and a convenient car rental point. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a truly idyllic experience in Dali!

1. The decor is very clean, and the house is quite new. 2. The owners' family often cook, and the meals are delicious. 3. It's very close to Erhai Lake, just a few minutes' walk away. 4. The price is reasonable and worth the decor, unlike many other old shops that are particularly dilapidated. 5. The neighborhood is quiet, not as noisy as the old town, but transportation is convenient by taxi, and electric carts are also readily available, as it's only 2km from the old town. 6. I slept very well here; there was no noisy or chaotic noise in the vicinity.

📍In Dali | Living Life in Slow Motion 🌇 Wake up to the sunrise The most therapeutic moment of the whole day is sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window in the evening, watching the orange-hued sunset slowly spread over Cangshan Mountain, with the Erhai Lake shimmering with a gentle golden light, and the wind blowing softly. The whole world just quiets down. Wake up naturally and enjoy a leisurely breakfast, then have afternoon tea, or simply head to the second-floor viewing deck to feel the breeze and daydream. No need to rush to tourist spots or brave the crowds; just quietly watch a complete sunset over Erhai Lake. The best vacation is when you don't have to rush anything, just fully enjoy the mountains, sea, and twilight, and truly soak in the atmosphere of this place. #DaliLiving #ErhaiSunset #DaliSlowLife #BeachResort #YunnanTravelDiaries

I accidentally found the newly opened homestay in Bay Bridge, and the experience is full! The authentic Bai people's houses run by the locals are elegantly decorated, with exquisite sculptures of the special walls, and full of Bai people's customs. The location is excellent, very close to the Bohai Sea, it is also very convenient to go to S Bay, and it is super comfortable to go out for a walk to see the sea. The room is fully equipped with a constant temperature kettle, the details are intimate, comparable to the five-star hotel, especially friendly to traveling with children. The manager is warm and hospitable, treats people sincerely, and also intimately upgrades the room for us. The small courtyard is quiet and comfortable, and it is comfortable to live. It is highly recommended!

Nestled beside Cangshan Mountain and accompanied by Erhai Lake, the Yinhua Seaview Hotel boasts unparalleled views of Dali Bay. Opening the window reveals a vast expanse of turquoise water; bathed in morning sunlight and lulled by the sound of the waves at night, its scenery is irreplaceable. The hotel's service is warm and attentive, making guests feel right at home. On New Year's Eve, the owner and guests gathered in the courtyard to light fireworks, the shimmering lights reflecting on the lake creating a warm and joyful atmosphere—the epitome of family reunion. Waiter A Biao was meticulous, enthusiastic, and attentive, attending to every detail with care and dedication. A stay by the mountains and sea, a warm and welcoming experience—this trip was perfect and unforgettable. We highly recommend it to friends and family for a trip to Cangshan and Erhai.

We drove there, and the drive was relatively smooth. We parked on the roadside in front of the guesthouse; it's a one-way street, and sometimes electric tricycles pass by, so you have to give way. You can also park on the side of the country road. You can cycle around the courtyard. We arrived around 10 PM and cycled about 7 kilometers to S-shaped bend. There were hardly any people on the road, a gentle breeze, a bright moon, and a sky full of stars—a much better experience than during the day! P1 is a view from inside the room. We got up at 7 AM to check if there was a sunrise. P2-4 were taken from the rooftop, where the view is even more expansive. You can see Erhai Lake in front and Cangshan Mountain behind. You don't need to go outside; after the view, we went back to the room and took a nap. You can also go outside; there's a small boardwalk extending out from there, which is also very beautiful. The guesthouse was quite new, the bedding was clean, and they provided disposable toilet seat covers. The slippers were also of good quality. It's great value for money. Dali is very congested during holidays, so cycling is a good option.
