"I first heard about this place on Instagram and thought it was so beautiful. Its incredible structure is just as gorgeous when you see it in person. The staff were very accommodating and attentive. It was so cool because they had a machine that translates different languages depending on what you speak. This was the first time I’d ever seen anything like it and found it very helpful as I don’t speak Mandarin. Breakfast isn’t included but you can purchase their set meals for 37 yuan and have it while looking out at the beautiful courtyard. If you need train station transfer, you can easily ask for it for 80 yuan per way which made my check in and check out process smooth. They also allow you to try on their cultural costumes for free. If you need hair, makeup and photography services than it’s 499 yuan. As a solo traveler, I decided to try it out. They were very nice, however I definitely struggled with the very white makeup since I myself am very tanned. In their defense they did their best with trying to give me something darker and in the makeup room it seemed fine. But with the different lighting outside and the camera flash, when I got my pictures back I basically had a ghost face 😞 The foundation also wasn’t applied to my neck and arms, so it was very apparent. I’ve asked the photographer to help standardize my skin so hopefully that helps whenever it’s done. You receive a total of 9 retouches photos as part of the package. However, if you prefer to do your own makeup or are traveling with others then they can take pictures for you instead. The place is very convenient for finding restaurants and if you’re primary goal is the visit the old town. It’s very close by, so I was able to explore easily and then return to the hotel for breaks when needed. Lastly, you can use their laundry machines and get laundry pellets for free. Ideally this is great. But I will say the drying part is dreadful. The instructions say to do the 2/3 rule. However, even when I followed and put a small batch of clothes in it never dried. I tried once for 1.5 hours, then again for another hour, and still nothing. That was probably the only real part that was frustrating."

The courtyard, with its lush greenery and pond, is incredibly photogenic. We stayed on a rainy day, and they even provided a dryer and dehumidifier, which was a nice touch. Our room was in the back, so street noise wasn't an issue at night. It also had a small balcony, perfect for unwinding, and a tatami-style tea area, which I unfortunately didn't get to fully enjoy due to our schedule. The breakfast was a highlight – very nutritious and healthy, and the yuzu tea was delicious! The staff, both the guys and girls, were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Everything about this hotel is beautiful, from the interior to the exterior, every corner feels thoughtfully designed and aesthetically pleasing. The ambience really adds to the whole Dali experience. The location is perfect. It’s right in Dali Ancient City, near the South Gate, so everything is within walking distance. For Muslim travellers, it’s also very convenient as there are halal food options nearby, making it easy to find meals. The service was truly top-notch. One thoughtful gesture that stood out was how they prepared breakfast for us during check-out, just to make sure we didn’t leave on an empty stomach. S uch a small detail, but it meant a lot. I’m really glad I chose to stay here, and I would definitely come back again if I visit Dali."

Hotel near Shuanglang Scenic Area,Dali City
Whispering gently by Erhai Lake, gazing serenely under Cangshan Mountain, there lies a waterside courtyard. Born by the lake, cradled by its waves, hidden within the landscape painting of mountains and waters — away from the noise, untouched by the world's troubles — waiting only for the wind to arrive, and for you. This is a waterside sanctuary. Open the door, and you're greeted by the seamless blend of water and sky, the shimmering waves of Erhai within reach. The courtyard unfolds along the natural contour of the lake, gently embraced by the breath of the mountains and sea. The breeze brushes the water, carrying whispered waves and the freshness of grass and trees, softly murmuring in your ears. Every pause here is a serendipitous encounter with Dali's romance of wind, flower, snow, and moon. Though nestled in tranquility, it is never far from the warmth of everyday life.

"✨ Full score recommendation! Erhai Beach Treasure B&B, lying down and watching the sea view is super healing 🌊 Pushing the window is the Bohai Sea, without a blocked front-line view, awakened by the sunrise in the morning, and enjoyed the sunset in the evening. Every frame is wallpaper. The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, the decoration was very stylish, and the details were full. The boss is warm and caring, the service is thoughtful, and he will recommend niche play and local food. Going out is the ecological corridor, it is super convenient to ride and walk. Here I want to watch the sea in a daze and relax completely ~ Next time I come to Dali, I will stay here!"
