A trip to Dali isn’t complete without a night by Erhai Lake!

I must share this gem with you all! ✨ 🏨 Hotel Highlights 📍 Breathtaking Sea View Rooms: The rooms face Erhai Lake directly, offering panoramic views of Cangshan Mountain and Erhai from the bed 🛏️. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning vistas, and waking up to sunlight ☀️ and the sound of waves 🌊 is pure bliss. 📍 Instagram-Worthy Spots Galore: The hotel boasts a first-row seaside café and breakfast area, plus a rooftop viewing deck perfect for snapping postcard-worthy shots. There’s also a romantic seaside swing where you can pose with Erhai and Cangshan as your backdrop, creating dreamy photos 📸. 📍 Thoughtful Service: The 24-hour butler service 🤵‍♂️ is a game-changer! From shuttle arrangements to itinerary planning, the butler handles everything promptly. Complimentary afternoon tea, goodnight desserts, and local souvenirs are provided, along with a lavish breakfast—pure happiness 🥰. 📍 Free Photo Shoot: A professional photographer offers complimentary sessions 📸, including 5 free photos, capturing your Dali memories effortlessly. Even photo-newbies can shine! 📍 Premium Amenities: Rooms feature Marshall Bluetooth speakers, Dyson hairdryers, TOTO smart toilets, and bathtubs 🛁. Toiletries are replaced for each guest, with makeup remover wipes and face masks provided. Even the minibar drinks 🥤 are free—attention to detail at its finest! 🌅 Nearby Attractions 📍 Nanzhao Folk Island: A 15-minute walk to the ferry from the hotel takes you to this island rich in historical sites and natural beauty, offering insights into Dali’s culture and stunning seaside views. 📍 Shuanglang Ancient Town: Just steps away, this Bai ethnic-style town is perfect for strolling cobblestone streets, browsing unique shops, and savoring local treats like cold chicken rice noodles and erkuai, immersing in ethnic charm. 📍 Yuji Island: Home to the famous Sun Palace and Moon Palace, this artsy spot with unique architecture is a must-visit for creatives and photographers. 📍 Little Putuo: A tiny island in Erhai with a quaint temple, surrounded by breathtaking views. In winter, flocks of seagulls add to the magic—a photographer’s paradise. 📍 Dive into Bai Alleyway Eats: Hidden in Shuanglang are local favorites like crispy "posu baba" (savory-sweet pastries) paired with papaya vinegar. Grab some rose-flavored erkuai to snack on while exploring—this is the authentic Dali way! Before leaving, I wrote in the guestbook: "If Erhai is Dali’s tear, this place is the shell that catches it." Friends, you must stay here to experience what it means to "live life like poetry." ~
