Here, Dali is no longer a distant landscape but the dream you wake up to

Waking up by Erhai Lake, with sunlight streaming through the sheer curtains onto the bed and the mist-shrouded Cangshan Mountains in the distance, the romance of Dali begins at this very moment. My stay at Bo'an·Shine Seaview Resort Hotel gave me the perfect Erhai getaway. Whether it was the first rays of morning sunlight or the golden hues of sunset, every moment was as beautiful as a painting 🌄 ✨ Hotel Highlights Bo'an·Shine boasts the best vantage point of Erhai Lake, with every room offering direct views of Cangshan Mountains and Erhai. The most delightful surprise was the infinity pool, seamlessly blending with the lake—every shot looks like a masterpiece. The butler service was heartwarmingly attentive, delivering afternoon tea and goodnight sweet soup unprompted, with full marks for the thoughtful details! 🏡 Accommodation Experience The rooms feature minimalist wabi-sabi design, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the entire Erhai Lake. I especially loved the lounge chair on the balcony—reading under the afternoon sun was pure bliss. The amenities included niche aromatherapy brands, and lighting candles during a bath instantly elevated the ambiance. 🍽 Breakfast Time A special shoutout to their breakfast! Yunnan rice noodles, freshly grilled erkuai, handmade yogurt... each dish was exquisite and delicious. I recommend dining on the outdoor terrace, savoring the food while watching the shimmering waves of Erhai—such mornings are truly healing. 📸 Photo Guide • Infinity pool: Best at dusk, wear a white maxi dress and shoot from the back • Seaview balcony: Hold a bouquet of flowers for an overhead shot with a painterly vibe • Spiral staircase: Shoot from the second floor for geometric lines with strong design appeal • Glass tea room: The afternoon light filtering through the blinds creates stunning shadows 🚗 Location & Transportation • About 15 minutes' drive to Dali Ancient Town • 30 minutes by taxi from the airport/high-speed rail station • Walkable to Caicun Pier and Erhai Ecological Corridor 💡 Practical Tips • Book a seaview room early—they sell out fast in peak season • Bring a light jacket; temperatures vary greatly by Erhai Lake • Arrange a photoshoot with the butler in advance • Renting a bike to cycle around Erhai is super convenient Who says you need to go to Santorini for romantic seascapes? At Bo'an·Shine in Dali, every frame is a healing vista. Slow down and let the gentleness of Erhai soothe all your weariness~
