Five-Day Stay at Shuanglang Green Mountains | Lying Down to Watch Erhai Lake Sunset

| Romantic Spot by Erhai Lake 🌅 This trip to Dali started with Xizhou Ancient Town, where I experienced the ultimate blend of romance and rustic charm by Erhai Lake. Bai-style houses, rice field photo frames, and the backdrop of Cangshan Mountain... every scene was like a postcard! 🏨 Hotel Recommendations: 1️⃣ Dali Jixiashan·Shishanfang 📍 Address: East Side of West Ring Road, Jingui Temple Village, Xizhou Town ✨ A must-stay for design hotel lovers! Rammed earth walls + glass box architecture make for stunning photos. The rooftop terrace faces Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake. Room amenities are by Comme des Garçons—very stylish~ 2️⃣ Dali Mingyue Songjian·Erhai Hotel 📍 Address: West Ring Road, Majiuyi Village, Yinqiao Town 🔍 Right by the lake! Floor-to-ceiling windows "frame" Erhai Lake in your room. The bathtub comes with scented candles and red wine—perfect for couples' anniversaries. The butler also arranges rice field afternoon tea! 3️⃣ Dali Luchun Garden Hotel 📍 Address: Group 7, Xiajiyi Village Committee, Dali Town 🌿 A forest-themed garden retreat with a private Erhai Lake boardwalk. Rooms feature underfloor heating + humidifiers. Great for families—kids' rooms have tents and picture book walls~ 4️⃣ Dali Yiyun Resort Hotel 📍 Address: Wenxian Road, South Gate of Ancient Town, Dali Town 🏯 Chinese courtyard style, each room has a hot spring pool! Just a 10-minute walk to the ancient town—unwind with a rose bath after night strolls. 💡 Booking Tips: • Off-season (Nov-Mar) prices drop 50%, but bring warm clothes for the large temperature swings. • West Ring Road B&Bs are spread out—confirm shuttle services with the hotel in advance. • Some high-end B&Bs offer free ethnic photo experiences—ask when booking. 🎒 3-Day Dali Itinerary: Day 1: Xizhou tie-dye workshop - Cycling at Haise Park - Rice field café Day 2: Shuanglang Sun Palace Art Space - Feeding seagulls at Xiaoputuo, Wase Town Day 3: Vegetarian meal at Jizhao Temple - Tea picking on Cangshan Mountain - Ancient town night tour ⚠️ Notes: • Sunscreen! High-altitude UV is intense—sunglasses and scarves are a must. • Respect local customs: Don’t step on Bai house thresholds; avoid splashing water during Torch Festival. • Recommended to charter a car for Erhai Lake tours (~¥300/day)—e-bikes often run out of battery. In Dali, there’s no need to rush. Just pick a dreamy B&B and savor the poetry of "facing Erhai Lake, spring blossoms all around." ☁️
