A Healing Time with Coffee in Hand, Reluctant to Leave

✨ "Here, time slows down so much that you can count the outlines of the clouds." Recently discovered a heavenly homestay in Dali! Tucked away in a quiet village near Longkan Dock, it offers views of the Cangshan Mountains from the window and is just steps away from Erhai Lake. Waking up daily to the aroma of tea and the sound of wind chimes completely cured my urban anxiety. 🏡 Homestay Highlights ▫ Prime Location: Just a few minutes' walk to Longkan Dock! Avoid the crowds while being able to stroll to Erhai Lake anytime for quiet moments. No need to rush for sunrise views—take your time and enjoy the best vantage point. ▫ 180° Mountain-View Floor-to-Ceiling Windows: The rooms feel like they’ve been "framed" into a painting of the Cangshan Mountains, with ever-changing scenery in rain or shine. Lazing in bed watching clouds drift past the mountains makes you feel like a recluse. ▫ Healing Courtyard: The owner personally tends to the garden, filled with flowers and plants, dotted with wicker chairs and tea tables. Brewing a pot of ancient tree black tea in the afternoon while reading and listening to the breeze—this is the true Dali experience! 🍵 My Immersive Experience My favorite moment each day is dusk: curling up in a corner of the yard with a cup of hot tea, watching the sunset paint the Cangshan Mountains in golden hues. No noisy crowds, just the neighborly warmth of an elderly woman asking, "Have you eaten?" 💡 Tips ✓ The top-floor rooms have the best views—book early! ✓ The owner shares hidden gems around Erhai Lake known only to locals. 📍 Navigation: Chunmu Homestay, Longkan Dock, Dali "Perhaps the meaning of travel is to find such a place—one that makes you want to stay, not just pass by."
