Waiting for You in Dali, Sleeping with Cangshan Mountain as Your Pillow

——Tired of cookie-cutter hotels? Want a place that feels as relaxing as home? Nestled in a lively yet peaceful alley of Dali Ancient Town, there’s an old courtyard waiting for you. Push open the door, and you might not be greeted by a butler, but by three furry "innkeepers." First, "Mike": Mike loves curling up on chairs for naps, his fur sun-kissed and fluffy like a tuft of fallen cotton. When you approach with your luggage, he’ll lazily crack open an eye and let out a muffled "meow," as if saying hello to an old friend. Second, "Steel Egg": Steel Egg is a gray-black kitten with sapphire-blue eyes as lively as glass beads. At dusk, he loves leaping onto the courtyard walls, patrolling his "kingdom" with light steps. If you sit down to rest, he might quietly sidle up to you, his gentle purrs warding off the evening chill of the plateau. Third, "Hammer": Hammer’s long, snow-white fur makes him the star of the viewing deck. From there, gaze past the ancient town’s tiled roofs to the unobstructed vista of Cangshan Mountain. Mist gathers and drifts, clouds roll like waves, and sunlight gilds the peaks—while Hammer dozes peacefully in the scenery, as if he’s the most vibrant stroke in this masterpiece of nature. When the gentle night of Cangshan envelops the ancient town, your true moment of rest begins. Return to your room and sink into the cloud-like bed, its softness carrying the clean scent of sun-dried linen. The fatigue from wandering the ancient town melts away, leaving only the comfort of deep slumber. Here, good sleep is never a luxury. The next morning, resist the urge to linger in bed (though it’s hard!). Make your way back to the viewing deck—it’s the perfect spot for daydreaming, sipping tea, watching clouds, or waiting for sunset. In the faint dawn light, the ancient town is still half-asleep, while Cangshan reveals its majestic silhouette through the mist. Sit quietly and watch the first rays of sunlight climb the nineteen peaks, igniting the summits. Listen to the wind whisper past your ears—this wordless companionship is the gentlest prelude to a Dali morning. Here, time takes on warmth. Our courtyard isn’t large enough for much noise. Instead, it holds the charm of the ancient town, the vastness of Cangshan, cloud-like slumber, and the fluffy verses of life penned by three feline "innkeepers" with their tails. Open the door home to cats, mountains, and dreams as soft as clouds. Deep in the alleys of Dali Ancient Town, we wait for you to shed the dust of travel, rest your head against Cangshan, and drift into a cozy dream guarded by cats. ——Tips from "Yan Chuanshu": The "innkeepers" are affectionate but free-spirited—please interact gently. Just steps from the heart of the ancient town, yet blessed with tranquility. (Contact details or inn name can be added for bookings.) With Cangshan as your backdrop and cats as your companions, all you need is the courage to push open the courtyard gate. (Psst: When you leave, don’t hide those longing cat hairs too deep in your luggage!) Yan Chuanshu Mountain View Inn (Dali Ancient Town Branch)
