[2025 Dali Stay] Travel Guide for Dali Erhai·Qianshanji Hotel (Updated Mar)

A new hotel has opened in Dali, how amazing is it? You'll know when you see the photos. After posting on WeChat Moments, friends from other places all want to come to Dali again! I took a lot of photos when I stayed before, and I can't help but share them with you. 🏡Name: Dali Qianshan Ji 📍Location: Dali Haidong Wenbi Village 【Hotel Public Area】 The hotel is located on the cliff of Wenbi Village. It's not so much a hotel as it is a space of aesthetic surprise. The design in the hotel is a surprise at every corner, with custom-made furniture made of solid old wood, calm and textured. The rotating staircase in the lobby is in an S-shaped surround shape, which looks very design-conscious from a distance. A whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows with blinds, when the curtains are opened, you can quietly overlook the Cangshan Erhai, and the scenery of Dali is in full view; when the blinds are closed, the sunlight outside the window shines in, the light and shadow are intertwined, and it's fascinating. 【Hotel Room】 Every room in the hotel is a sea view room, with exotic cave soaking pool rooms, and infinity pool sea view rooms, all with 24h constant temperature private pools. In the pool, overlooking the sparkling Erhai Lake, at sunset, you can see the clouds of Cangshan, at this moment, people and architecture, and nature, merge into one, don't be too comfortable. The furniture in the room is simple but you can see the designer's intentions, all are calm solid wood furniture, a full set of Palma's water care, the faint citrus fragrance is refreshing. 【Hotel Surroundings】 Because of the geographical location, there is less hustle and bustle of people, but there is more tranquility. It is very close to Xiao Putuo, you can go there to see seagulls and eat. 【About Transportation】 You can only charter a car or drive there, there is no public transportation. The first Qianshan Ji is located in Lugu Lake, and the current Wenbi Village in Dali is the second store. 【Features】 I like a very humanized place in the hotel: pets can be accommodated. This is very rare for a high-end resort hotel, quickly bring your pet and go on vacation together.

I really love the relaxed and laid-back atmosphere of Dali, the sun, the water, the food, and the pace of life. So, I went there again for Lunar New Year. Following up on my last post, I'll share a few more hotels/guesthouses I stayed at in Dali this time. 1. Thousand Hills Inn Dali Erhai (Haidong) This was my favorite hotel of the trip. I couldn't book it last time I was in Dali. The hotel only has six rooms, and the common area downstairs is also a cafe that's open to the public. The overall service is excellent. The rooms even have care packages specifically for women (including a pack of portable face towels, sanitary napkins, and wet wipes). There are also snacks and fruit (all from Sam's Club) provided in the room. The rooms have record players, projectors, Dyson hair dryers, and laundry service. The rooms are spacious and relatively quiet, with a 270-degree panoramic view of the sea. The overall decor is very comfortable, perfect for spending the whole day relaxing in the hotel. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant, but there are many restaurants nearby to choose from. The hotel breakfast is pretty good, and they also offer complimentary afternoon tea. The butler service is also quite good. I also tried the local traditional rubbing technique, which was very interesting. 2. Lake Mountain Cloud Shade Shuanglang Erhai This hotel is located in Shuanglang Ancient Town, and it was another one I couldn't book last time. It's the only English-style garden hotel in Shuanglang, and even in all of Dali. It's truly beautiful! The garden is exceptionally well-maintained, and it should be even more beautiful in the spring. The rooms are also beautifully decorated, with solid wood furniture and various lovely plants. The retro English style feels very homey. The butler is incredibly attentive! It truly makes you feel at home. The breakfast is also delicious. The hotel has its own afternoon tea and restaurant, so you can dine there as well. If you love taking photos, this guesthouse is a must-try. 3. Yi Xi Tian Yuan Xizhou Ancient Town I didn't stay in Xizhou last time I was in Dali, so I chose to stay there for a day this time. I found this guesthouse online and loved its style! I've realized I really like this kind of all-solid-wood, mid-century modern style. The owner told me that all the furniture was custom-made by a studio. However, the overall service and hygiene of this guesthouse were rather average (I found a cockroach in the room, and there was a long hair in my breakfast). There was no welcome fruit or afternoon tea. Although the hotel said they provide free fruit and coffee during your stay, they don't offer it proactively. Overall, compared to other guesthouses in Dali, it's just average. If you simply like the design, you can give it a try. 4. Ji Xia Shan Shaxi Garden Guesthouse I didn't visit Shaxi last time, so I made a special trip there this time. It's very comfortable, and I plan to find some time to stay in Shaxi. The overall service and environment of the hotel are quite good. The rooms are clean and tidy, with underfloor heating, humidifiers, etc. The breakfast is also very good, with welcome fruit, afternoon tea, and a goodnight sweet soup. The service is good, and the common area is beautiful. It's a great place to relax and spend the whole day.

Worth a second or third visit! I would call it the best homestay in Erhai Lake. Here, all your beautiful imaginations will come true. The Qianshanji embraced by the sun interprets the high-end feel of the new Erhai Lake homestay. Once you stay here, your heart will stay here! Yes, you will be deeply impressed by the beautiful scenery, thoughtful service, and comfortable bed. · SECTION/1/Wabi-sabi Aesthetic Art Museum The high-end feel of the design is to bring the minimalist aesthetics of decorative art to the peak. The high-value decoration can only be achieved by spending money. The layout of the room, even a line, is full of personality. The hotel is located halfway up the mountain in Wenbi Village, Haidong, by Erhai Lake. The overall building is symmetrically designed, and all the walls that can be demolished in the whole building have been demolished to pursue an invincible open view. The hotel public area uses light and shadow art to the extreme. The public area is simply displayed, with heavy and high-end materials, mostly solid wood. There is a staircase in the lobby that seems to be able to step directly into the sea, and there is a spiral staircase between the floors, which is amazing. The whole hotel has only six rooms. The sun shines, and the mountains and sea are in full view. Four of the rooms have infinity pools (constant temperature pools). SECTION/2/Guest Room|1 All rooms have a vast sea view, with a minimum area of 65 square meters, and a large bed with a view is standard. In the 270-degree sea view room on the rooftop, you can lie down and watch the clouds roll over Erhai Lake and the snow on Cangshan Mountain. In the wide-screen sea view pool room, you can experience the spacious and bright 90-square-meter sea view room, with mountains and sea in your eyes. You can swim in the constant temperature pool. The Santorini-style cave pool sea view pool room is also intoxicating. You can wear a skirt and take beautiful photos. The 118-square-meter suspended terrace infinity pool sea view room is worth boasting about because of its unique minimalist Chinese design and the beautiful infinity pool.

Having visited Dali three times, all in winter, the first two were under blue skies and white clouds, with the sun just right, just as I imagined Dali should be. However, this time, bringing my two sisters to Dali in winter again, we encountered rainy days, which initially dampened our spirits, but the weather made us hit the pause button on our trip, choosing to stay at Qianshanji by the Erhai Lake, and for the first time staying in Haidong, which has the quiet charm I love. From the room, we could enjoy a different view of Erhai Lake. The rain deterred us from jumping into the constant temperature swimming pool, which was a bit of a pity, but swinging on the cliff terrace with the two little ones, having afternoon tea, and listening to the rain was quite pleasant~ The open area is full of design, Bingtang Xueli loves to nest on the sofa in the leisure area to read picture books, the breakfast is exquisite and delicious, and having a bowl of hot braised beef rice noodles is truly blissful. Right outside the guesthouse is the popular photo spot of Wenbi Village, which has fewer tourists compared to Shuanglang, and the scenery is also very nice, making for an even better experience ~

The color tone style is simple and atmospheric The view of the large floor-to-ceiling windows allows you to have the sunset at any time Let the scenery and light in, just to make the indoor space wide enough to let more natural light and shadow freely spill in. The decoration is a very textured Wabi-Sabi style. The neutral color tone of beige is used as the main tone Paired with wood to set a retro tone, it is even more proficient in the use of light. Between every step and scene, it enhances the brightness of the indoor space and exudes an artistic temperament 📍About facilities Qianshan has done the guest rooms to the extreme 6 guest rooms of four types, each is a "view room" among which 4 are equipped with private constant temperature swimming pools. The layout of the guest rooms is quite open Equipped with Palma toiletries, Setalin record player, a huge full-body mirror and A snack basket and a small refrigerator filled to the brim can be said to be quite generous configuration.

Dali Qianshan Continuation·Erhai Hotel Unexpected surprise facing Cangshan Erhai The scenery in the room is unobstructed The public area and the room are very good for taking pictures The details of the decoration, cloth grass, etc. If you care about it, you need to weigh it yourself The swimming pool is constant temperature The hotel says it is the only one in Dali I touched the temperature but there are mosquitoes playing in the water at night I don't want to use it but it's quite atmospheric in the morning and evening The bath supplies are surprisingly Acqua di Parma Other supplies are also quite meticulous I don't know if Dali is very coiled Here is also breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening sweet soup three meals feeding The hotel also has free pick-up and drop-off options (I don’t know why it’s not included) and you can make an appointment in advance to ask the photographer to take pictures for you and other services I booked this hotel to remind you that there is really no need to go to any surrounding attractions to check in. The room is better than the attractions. We just ran in vain and then were speechless Dali's homestays are quite worthwhile. I hope that many tourist destinations will not only have high prices and no details. The quality of the guest house with a price of thousands of dollars is really fun in Yunnan. If you love to play, you have to come
