Staying at this hotel by Erhai Lake, I simply didn’t want to go home
Who else gets it, family! This time in Dali, I stayed at a super amazing hotel—Sanse Yunhe Erhai Branch🌟 Sanse Yunhe (Dali Shuanglang Erhai Branch) was truly the biggest surprise of my trip, and I have to share it with everyone!
📍 Location: It’s right in the prime spot of Shuanglang Ancient Town, stepping outside leads straight to Erhai Lake, a genuine first-line lake view! The surrounding scenery is stunning, with Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake in full view, every snap is a masterpiece📸
🛏️ Room Layout: I stayed in a sea view king room, and the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the huge floor-to-ceiling window. Lying in bed, you can take in the beautiful view of Erhai Lake in its entirety🌊 The room’s decor is simple yet stylish, with thoughtful details everywhere. The bedding is soft and comfortable, and I slept like a baby😴 The bathroom has a dry and wet separation and even features a smart toilet🚽 The biggest surprise was the small balcony in the room, where you can enjoy the sea breeze and sip coffee☕ in the morning, savoring a leisurely time~
🌟 Hotel Facilities: The hotel’s facilities are also very thoughtful and incredibly comfortable. By the way, there’s a super beautiful Instagram-worthy swing hall in the public area, perfect for photos, and many people line up here to check in📷 Besides that, the hotel offers free travel photography services, with professional photographers capturing your wonderful moments in Dali—so considerate💕
💁♀️ Hotel Service: The attentive service started even before check-in, with the butler contacting me in advance to inform me of various details and help plan my itinerary. They helped with luggage and quick check-in upon arrival. During the stay, there was a nutritious breakfast every day, plus afternoon tea and goodnight desserts. When leaving, they even gave local specialty souvenirs, which totally won me over!
🍜 Nearby Food: Since you’re in Dali, you must try the local specialties! There are many delicious options near the hotel. The grilled milk fan is sweet and tasty, with a rich milky flavor in every bite🥛 You must also try the fermented tofu, crispy on the outside and tender inside, paired with a special dipping sauce—absolutely amazing👍 There are also various mushroom hot pots and Yunnan rice noodles, all authentically flavored, letting your taste buds fully immerse in Dali’s unique tastes😋
🎈 Nearby Activities: After eating and drinking your fill, you can explore the surroundings!
